Fairy Glade is a place located in King Knight's dreams.
Story[]
The Fairy Glade can be reached by using a Decree of Rejuvenation before talking to Horzio in the Void Crater. The Snow Maiden found at the Ice House hints at it.
After waking up in the Fairy Glade, Madam Meeber welcomes King Knight and asks him to pick one of the many fairies, although she doesn't explain why. The only fairy that cannot be chosen is King Knight's fairy, and you will be prompted to choose another upon bringing it to Madam Meeber. After King Knight chooses a fairy, Madam Meeber begins a ceremony in which she crowns the selected fairy as "The Fairy King". King Knight frantically protests, complaining that he wants to be the Fairy King instead. Meeber continues to chant and praise the fairy. The scene is then revealed to be all a dream as King Knight awakens in his room.

Trivia[]
- Initially, the devs wanted to make a Moon world, but due to time constraints, they opted for the Fairy Glade instead.[1][2]
- If you repeatedly crouch, any fairies that are currently following you will also crouch.
- If any one of the fairies is chosen, all Propeller Rats will have fairy-esque wings rather than a propeller pack. This effect also only lasts for as much time as you stay in your save file, and will be removed if you exit it. It will also be removed if you go to the Fairy Glade then exit to the map without picking a Fairy.
- The Fairy sprites from the Fairy Glade are used in Showdown when the Fairy Wand item is used.
- The Fairy Glade is referenced in Shovel Knight Dig, in the description of the Memento Fairy Nest. It also imply that, despite their different aspect, the Fairy enemies also originate from the Glade.
