Moving the fairy (castles and wagons)
NGC 54:
Case #1: The fairy is assigned to a meeple placed on a 1-tile city. What happens to the fairy if that 1-tile city turns into a castle?
Case #2: The fairy is assigned to a wagon. What happens tp the fairy if that wagon moves after scoring?
These cases are not covered by WICA: https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/The_Princess_and_The_Dragon, https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Abbey_and_the_Mayor and https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Bridges,_Castles_and_Bazaars.

Case #1: Maybe for that, that Fairy is associated to meeple, so if small city is converted to Castle, then fairy is kept there.
But I understand, that for new players, can be odd.
Case #2: Wagon with Fairy - wow, this is very nice question and situation. Funny thing is, that it never happened in any of my game before.

Not a clarification yet for this case on any of the sources I checked back in the day. My current understanding is that the fairy should move to the castle along with the meeple. Rmoving the fairy seems too drastci and leaving it behind on the tile sounds very odd.

Same case here. My understanding is that the fairy should stay on the tile after scoring as if the wagon was returned to its owner, but instead if moves to a new location. Moving the fairy along with the wagon would grant additional points at the beginning of the player's turn and when the new feature is completed. The latter would mean granting the same bonus more than once to the same meeple, what sounds odd... We reached a similar conclusion for the ghosts, if you remember (after scoring the ghosts are left behind).

I think there is no other way to look at that than this. JCloisterZone handles those two cases just like that already :)
And for the dragon, fairy protects only the tile it was on in the first place, so let's say that "half" of the castle that had meeple before converting it to it.

Not really. Because for Ghosts are rule, that after scoring are ghosts removed from board. Fairy stays on tile. So when moved wagon, wagon is moved, but by rules fairy stays on original position.
So it's clear. Fairy is keeping position :D
