Armadyl is an almost entirely forgotten god rumoured to have ruled the air and skies over RuneScape. He is usually assumed to be a good deity, though during the strife and terror of the god wars it must have been difficult to recognise good from evil.

The eyrie established within the God Wars Dungeon has largely undisturbed ice on the floor, for Armadyl’s soldiers have little need for the ground.

Points of Interest

An overview of Armadyl’s Eyrie

To access Armadyl’s Eyrie, you will need a crossbow and a mithril grapple, as well as a Ranged level of 70.

As the entirety of Armadyl’s forces in his base are capable of flight, you will be unable to attack any of them with melee – they simply pull themselves higher into the air and out of your reach while hurling axes, spears and devastating spells at you from above. For this reason, it is highly recommended that you bring a missile weapon or runes.

You must have killed at least 40 of Armadyl’s followers to enter Kree’arra’s headquarters.

Personalities

Kree’arra

Kree’arra was one of Armadyl’s most trusted generals and must have been an enormous advantage in battle. His massive size and ability to ignore many of Zamorak’s soldiers are the great strength of Armadyl’s forces, and Kree’arra embodies them perfectly. With this mighty weapon, the Order and Law that Armadyl represents can be imposed upon those who defy him.

	Â		Â
Wingman SkreeSkree is a devout and obedient follower of the Path of Law that the aviantese have chosen to follow, and he brings order with magical projectiles flung with remarkable force from the launchers mounted on his shoulders. Before being imprisoned in the God Wars Dungeon, he must have been highly regarded in aviantese society.	Â	Flockleader GeerinFlockleader Geerin is a natural leader and powerful soldier with many years of combat and many campaigns behind her. Her spear will doubtless continue to bring pain and death to those who embrace chaos and disorder.	Â	Flight KilisaKilisa favours the direct approach to warfare, and his twin blades have brought an end to thousands of Zamorak’s followers and allies. His wings beat ferociously as he bears down on the enemies of Armadyl.

Armadyl’s Noble Warriors

Miscellaneous

• If you are extraordinarily lucky, you may find that Kree’arra or his bodyguards drop shards of the godsword. The hilt that the finest aviansie craftsmen designed for that blade is only dropped by Kree’arra.
• The birdmen of the Eyrie will be less inclined to attack you if you are wearing some of their armour.

You should be sure to read the God Wars Dungeon – Introduction before even contemplating visiting Bandos’s Stronghold.

Like the rest of the God Wars Dungeon, Bandos’s Stronghold is a terribly dangerous place. Please only bring equipment that you’re not awfully attached to.

Introduction

Inside Bandos’s Stronghold

Few have even heard of the god called Bandos. For many centuries he has been thought to be an ancestor of the ogres, perhaps even the beast that claimed the lands of the Feldip Hills and Jiggig. Now that the God Wars Dungeon has defrosted, though, scribes across RuneScape are puzzled by this old god’s reappearance.

Bandos has never been worshipped by civilised races, but is occasionally revered by ogres and other unsavoury creatures. During the god wars he allied himself with different factions at different times, seeming to revel in bloodshed for its own sake. Adventurers heading into his Stronghold are likely to discover just how brutal his armies were…

Points of Interest

An overview of Bandos’s Stronghold

The entrance to the Stronghold is barred by a gong that will only ring for the strongest of visitors. To gain access to Bandos’s Stronghold you will need a hammer and a Strength level of at least 70.

Because of the natural brutality of the followers of Bandos, it is recommended that you come prepared for melee. Be warned, though: even Bandos has a use for mages and rangers.

If you manage to slay forty of Bandos’s followers, you will earn access to his general’s quarters, where you will find out just how hard a true giant can hit…

Personalities

General Graardor

If you need evidence that the god wars were a much harsher time than modern day, look no further than this enormous beast. No one knows what General Graardor is, but it is safe to assume that during the god wars he was truly favoured by Bandos. His massive frame is well armoured and, like a true devotee of the carnage of close combat, he fights almost exclusively with his fists.

	Â		Â
Sergeant StrongstackStrongstack has fought in Bandos’s name for much of his life, and is unlikely to give up any time soon. If one thing remains unchanged about goblins, it is their love of combat.	Â	Sergeant SteelwillSergeant Steelwill leads his tribe of goblins with strength of character and a vicious flail. No doubt many goblin leaders of modern times would like to have his ‘charisma’.	Â	Sergeant GrimspikeIt’s thought that Grimspike was once cast out from his tribe for his excessive brutality. What better place to find his family than in the arms of Bandos’s legions?

Bandos’s Brutal Legion

Miscellaneous

• If you are extraordinarily lucky, you may find that General Graardor or his bodyguards drop shards of the godsword. The hilt that the most determined ork smiths designed for that blade is only dropped by General Graardor.
• The warriors of Bandos will be less inclined to attack you if you are wearing some of their armour.

Inside Saradomin’s Encampment Down where the icy river wends and falls is the Saradomin Encampment; two tiers of land that house those with fealty to Saradomin. Although pious and devout, the followers that reside here are fearsome foes, if one should choose to face them without a symbol of Saradomin’s glory.

Saradomin has chosen an icyene, a member of the race that tempered the godsword, to recover the very item they helped to make.

Points of Interest

An overview of Saradomin’s Encampment

To access Saradomin’s Encampment you will need two lengths of rope and 70 Agility.

Saradomin has balanced his forces admirably, covering all three corners of the combat triangle and leaving little room for weakness. It can only be advised that any encroachers should be prepared for Melee, Ranged and Magic attacks.

You will need to kill at least forty of Saradomin’s followers to gain entrance to Commander Zilyana’s headquarters.

Personalities

Commander Zilyana

Zilyana goes under many names and titles, but her favourite is that of Keeper of the Faith, a charge bestowed on her by Saradomin himself. Taking this role very seriously indeed, Zilyana is most adept at defending it with her sword. Tempered by her own tears, her sword flashes between ribs and across sides with supernatural speed, delivering divine justice with a sharpened tip.

	Â		Â

Draynor Village is a charming little town, if rather odd. The citizens are…eccentric. This is no surprise, however, as the town has long been dominated by the dark and menacing shape of Draynor Manor. Draynor Manor, unlike Draynor Village, has little to cheer a traveller, and less to recommend it as a nice place to sleep. Unwary campers in Draynor Manor’s grounds might just wake to find a pair of neat holes in their neck where their skin was once unblemished.

The manor’s haunted rooms are filled with ghosts and creaking floorboards. Chairs come to life and follow adventurers about the house; trees and vines lash out at people as they walk past; there are hidden passages behind bookshelves; a possibly mad scientist conducts his experiments on the top floor.

Location

Location of Draynor Village

Draynor lies between the capitals of Asgarnia and Misthalin; Falador is north-west of the village and Varrock to the north-east. Because of this, traffic through the town can be quite busy.

Immediately west of Draynor Village is Port Sarim, home of pirates and sailors, while east lies the peaceful town of Lumbridge.

Travelling north from Draynor Manor are the Barbarian Village and Edgeville, a popular gathering point for forays into the Wilderness.

If you are in search of some of the most famous mages in RuneScape, walking a short way south from Draynor Village will lead you to the long bridge across the sea to the Wizards’ Tower.

Points of Interest

Draynor’s points of interest

The Draynor region, like its population, has a weird variety to offer. In less unusual terms, though, there are a number of farms nearby, some nice woods for chopping down trees, and a few Farming patches for members scattered about, including one in the shadows behind Draynor Manor solely for the purposes of growing nightshade.

Diango, the legendary toyseller himself, offers what may be the most desirable merchandise in the whole of RuneScape: horses and dragon plates. The wise adventurer knows to look to Diango for visions of what the gods intend for their world (or, perhaps, to understand the gods’ sense of humour). Joining him in the market is a Town Crier, who is more than happy to explain the Rules of Conduct and the role of Player Moderators.

There is also the wine merchant Fortunato whose nose for a good drop is almost beyond compare. Ned, an old sailor who has retired to the village, makes rope and other similar items in his house on the east side of the town. Aggie the Witch, who lives north of the market, has retired from the usual tricks of the witching trade, like turning people into toads, and now mostly makes dyes in a variety of colours.

To the east of the town, quite heavily guarded, is a jail looked over by a watch tower. Lady Keli, the jail’s owner, specialises in less than legal imprisonments, so her cells are occasionally occupied by the nobility, whose families she intends to ransom them back to.

Miscellaneous

• Aggie’s house features two spawn points; one for cheese, and another for tomato.
• The rat-infested shack next to Morgan’s house has two log spawn points.
• If you have a pet fish, you can feed it with the fish food on the first floor of Draynor Manor.
• If you creep around behind Count Draynor’s coffin, you will find a bronze medium helm spawn point.
• Once members have completed Ernest the Chicken, the entrance to the Killerwatt Plane will open in Professor Oddenstein’s laboratory.
• Draynor is an ideal place to practice lower level pottery, with a pottery wheel in the north of the village and a clay mining spot to the south-east of Draynor Manor.
• In an effort to protect itself, the bank has hired two guards. While one of them stands by the doors, the other has hidden himself nearby. Leaf him alone, he’s not in the mood for chatting!

Falador’s white stone castle

Falador is the glorious capital of Asgarnia. As it is situated at the centre of RuneScape, it sees vast numbers of visiting adventurers and traders every day. The most striking feature of Falador is the white stone from which the city is built. Every house and hovel, the castle and the walls, all of the city is constructed from this stone – remarkable in RuneScape.

Falador is officially ruled by King Vallance, though he has not been seen for many years and the practical day-to-day running of the city has fallen to Sir Amik Varze, leader of the White Knights.

Location

Map of Falador

Falador lies in the centre of both Asgarnia and of RuneScape, and as such it is relatively straightforward to find. It lies north-west of Lumbridge and Draynor Village, and directly west of the foreboding edifice of Draynor Manor. To the east, beyond the Barbarian Village and the River Lum, lies Varrock, capital of Misthalin.

To the north of Falador lies the Dwarven Mine, which can be reached both above and under the ground, by virtue of the lattice of tunnels that extends between the Mine and the Miners’ Guild in Falador. Travelling north-west from Falador, via Taverley, will bring you to Burthorpe, seat of the Crown Prince of Asgarnia and home of the Imperial Guard.

There is little directly west of Falador except the Makeover Mage, Photo Booth and Dark Wizards’ Tower.

To the south lies Port Sarim and the village of Rimmington. Also, the Clan Camp lies just outside the city’s south wall.

Though there are only two gates in Falador’s walls, there is also a broken section of wall to the west, and a tunnel beneath the walls in the south-west.

Points of Interest

Falador’s points of interest

Falador is divided quite evenly down the middle, providing the residential district in the eastern half and the commercial district (and the White Knights’ Castle) in the west. Outside the city walls to the south the massive farms of Falador provide food for the city and for any adventurers who might wish to spend some time growing their own vegetables.

The Castle itself is an impressive example of the work of the master engineers of Asgarnia. It rises high above the city to provide an unrivalled view of the White Knights’ domain, and it is surely this imposing sight that has held off invasions in times past. Should you be a member of the White Knights (by completing the Wanted! quest), you can purchase armour from Sir Vyvin. You can check what level of White Knight you are by either checking your Quest Journal under Wanted!, or by talking to Sir Vyvin. Wandering about north of the castle is a Town Crier, who is more than happy to explain the Rules of Conduct and the role of Player Moderators.

Many travelling adventurers and merchants gather in the grounds of the park, and around the city’s centre to sell their wares to other traders. If you find yourself in possession of some goods, or you need something specific, it is probable that another adventurer is there willing to buy your goods or to sell goods to you.

If you own a house, the Herald, who lives in the castle, can track down your family tree and give you a coat of arms that you can decorate your house with. He will also paint pictures to hang upon the walls of your home.

The city boasts two banks, allowing adventurers to make the most of the city’s other amenities. In the north of the city is a park, where more peaceful wanderers may like to grow a tree or spend some time looking around at the flowers, trees, ponds or the statue of Saradomin.

In the city’s south-east is an entrance to the Mining Guild, which can be entered at level 60 Mining, and the Artisan’s Workshop, which provides a variety of interesting Smithing training methods, so long as you provide your own ores.

In the north-east of the city is the Party Room, which is for partying. Obviously.

Miscellaneous

• There is a bronze pickaxe spawn point in the Mining Guild.
• There is a hammer spawn point upstairs in the forge just north of the castle.
• Cooked chicken mysteriously spawns in the top floor of Cassie’s Shield Shop.
• If you prefer your chicken raw, or are a keen fletcher, there is a chicken in the courtyard of the White Knights’ Castle.
• Members can go hunt moles for Wyson; if you give him the moles’ claws or hides as proof of slaying the giant moles he will reward you with birds’ nests. Some of these nests may contain seeds, useful for advancing your Farming skill.
• If you have completed Recruitment Drive, you may choose to respawn at Falador. Talk to Sir Tiffy Cashien about ‘the Gaze of Saradomin’.

Despite being a small and sleepy town, Hemenster attracts a number of visitors. Most usually they come for the Ranging Guild and the Fishing Guild; people also arrive from around the world to compete in Hemenster’s famous Fishing Contest.

Location

Location of Hemenster

Hemenster is in a good central location, lying on the road between Seers’ Village and East Ardougne.

To the north is McGrubor’s Wood, a large swathe of private land filled with trees.

West of the town is the Tree Gnome Stronghold.

Points of Interest

Hemenster’s points of interest

The most obvious feature of Hemenster is the two guilds: one for Fishing and the other for Ranged. Both guilds have suppliers of useful goods, as well as excellent training areas. The Ranging Guild, in particular, should be noted for the quality of its challenges.

Hemenster also plays host to the most important Fishing Contest in RuneScape, so you can usually find the finest fishermen in the land congregating there to test their skills.

Personalities

Quests

There are no quests to start in Hemenster.

Peaceful Hemenster

Miscellaneous

• Though most of them are broken, there is a large number of arrow spawn points in the Ranging Guild. Even broken arrows can be fixed, though, provided you have a workshop in your house.
• As you enter the Fishing Guild, you will find that a number of Fishing items respawn in the first room.
• Grandpa Jack obviously has another hobby besides Fishing, as you can find a glassblowing pipe on a table in his house.
• The tribal weapons seller in the Ranging Guild sells a variety of throwing weapons, including rune throwing axes.
• Fishermen representatives from the Fishing Guild regularly appear both inside and just outside of the guild. Talk to them if you’d like to know more about the guild’s Fish Flingers competition, and possibly enter one.

A quiet town on the west bank of the River Lum, Lumbridge presents a good start to your adventuring. The weather is always fine and the citizens are usually friendly. Despite its imposing castle, ruled by the generous Duke Horacio, the town is founded on its farms. There is much to do in Lumbridge, though, and it boasts a variety of training and practice opportunities, whatever your particular interests may be.

The town’s buildings are all made of the same grey stone that has survived through the years. This is the sort of determination that has seen Lumbridge through even the hardest times.

Location

Map of Lumbridge

Lumbridge is the first town you come to when you start your adventures in RuneScape, so finding your way there after your first few expeditions should be no trouble. It is at the centre of the ‘starting area’, bounded by a long wall and guards, who warn players with a skill total below 60 that they are entering more dangerous lands.

It lies directly south of Varrock, the capital of Misthalin and seat of King Roald. East from Lumbridge is the gate to Al Kharid, a major desert town that spans the desert from the Lumbridge gate to the Shantay Pass. Travelling west from Lumbridge will deliver you to Draynor Village, a small town menaced by the ominous Draynor Manor.

As a rural township, there is a cluster of farms to the north where the locals scratch a living from the soil. There is also a windmill, which supplies most of the surrounding region with flour for bread, cakes and other baked treats. To the south of the town is Lumbridge Swamp, a sodden and dreary area filled with twisted mangroves.

Points of Interest

Lumbridge’s points of interest

Shopping in Lumbridge doesn’t need to be expensive. As a promotion to attract customers, the stores of Lumbridge offer free items – as long as you haven’t taken a sample recently.

No guide to Lumbridge would be complete without mentioning the castle. This mighty edifice has stood guard over the town for far longer than anyone can remember and looks set to continue in this way for many years and decades to come.

The farms to the north of Lumbridge are also worth a look, as they are usually quite well stocked and the farmers are not inclined to complain if you are forced to steal a cabbage out of hunger.

The church just north of the graveyard is a good place to recharge your Prayer points, and Father Aereck is always up for a chat about the finer points of modern theology.

The field to the north of the windmill was once the home of Gnomecopter Tours, but since it ceased trading Beefy Bill has set up residence in the surrounding paddock. He will send any unnoted beef, cowhides or flour you have to your bank for a 10% commission.

Travel south of the church and the Lumbridge graveyard and you’ll find a jetty that leads to a Fremennik longboat. This will take you to Daemonheim, where you can train your Dungeoneering skill.

The Creatures that Lurk

Miscellaneous

If you’re in a hurry for a snack, Lumbridge is possibly the best place in the world. There are a couple of good Fishing spots on the far side of the river, overstocked farms to the north, and chickens. Chickens are a great source of food as they are very simple to kill, drop feathers for Fletching and when cooked properly they’re quite tasty. On top of that, chickens lay eggs, so keep an eye out for the feathered creatures.

Cows are also useful, as they provide both beef and cowhide. They can be found north-east across the river on Farmer Groats’s land. If you take a bucket you can milk the dairy cows.

Sheep in the pen in the north of Lumbridge will provide you with wool, though you will need to get some shears first.

There are a couple of spots in and around Lumbridge worth keeping an eye on if you’re new to RuneScape:

• Behind Bob’s Brilliant Axes is a knife spawn point.
• In front of Fred the Farmer’s house (north of Lumbridge) is a chopping block with a bronze hatchet embedded in it.
• The southern stairwell of Lumbridge Castle has a mind rune spawn point.
• Next to the northern stairwell in the Castle is a bronze arrow spawn point.
• The Castle kitchen and basement hold a selection of equipment useful for improving your Cooking skills.
• The room next to Duke Horacio’s chamber in Lumbridge Castle has a bronze dagger.
• On the east side of the river, Barfy Bill will teach members to make canoes to travel the River Lum.
• Do you enjoy knowing a few random statistics? There are two signs in Lumbridge – one outside the Castle gates and another at the entrance to the cow field – with some amusing numbers to entertain you.
• New adventurers looking to get stuck into an exciting combat quest should speak to Xenia in the graveyard.
• Those adventurers who have completed at least one subquest from the Recipe for Disaster quest will find the Culinaromancer’s Chest in the Castle basement.
• If you haven’t helped him already, Fred the Farmer could do with a helping hand to shear some of his sheep.
• There is a plaque just outside of Lumbridge Castle’s main gate to commemorate the winners of the prestigious Jagex Clan Cup. Identical plaques also reside at Clan Wars (behind the clan portal) and in Edgeville (behind the Soul Wars portal).

Sophanem lies in the far south of the Kharidian Desert and is not an easy place to reach unharmed. It is advised that you take a lot of water with you, as well as wearing a full set of desert robes. For more information about surviving the harsh desiccation of the desert, read the Terrain Survival Guide.

Introduction

The Sphinx patrols Sophanem

Sophanem and Menaphos are the twin cities that sit like a shining jewel at the bottom of the Kharidian Desert. In ancient times these were the pinnacles of human civilisation, and few could muster armies to rival the might of those that followed the desert gods. Since then, though, the cities seem to have fallen from grace, and now Sophanem is a plague-stricken city whose gates are closed to all, while Menaphos has sealed itself off from the world as if to preserve itself from the dangers outside.

Sophanem is dominated by two great pyramids, where the tombs of their ancient kings and priests are hidden from the thieving fingers of wandering adventurers. Wandering about outside these mighty edifices is a devout follower of Icthlarin, the Sphinx. She is an ancient and wise creature well-acquainted with the history of RuneScape, but only willing to speak openly with cats.

Location

Map of Sophanem

Sophanem lies at the very bottom of the Kharidian Desert, nestled into the end of the River Elid with its twin city, Menaphos, where the ruling castes reside.

North-east of Sophanem is the Jaleustrophos pyramid, better known to the world as the Agility Pyramid, and further beyond that is the town of Nardah.

North-west from Sophanem is another pyramid, that of Jaldroacht, an ancient and foreboding structure that all who visit it could swear was touched by an eldritch evil older than human civilisation.

Points of Interest

Sophanem’s points of interest

In older times Sophanem was a bustling city filled with merchants and slaves by their thousands. Since the plagues began to strike the city, it has descended to the base level of a quarantine town. The slaves stand about lazily, while their masters hide in their houses afraid of strangers who might be bringing further trouble.

The town still manages some industry, though particularly light-fingered adventurers might like to plumb the tombs of the pyramid Jalsavrah (in Pyramid Plunder), where the Guardian Mummy has arranged for tomb robbers to earn a few trinkets.

The Great Temple in the west of the city is home to a number of priests, as well as the High Priest of Icthlarin, who is worth talking to if you are confused about the state of affairs in Sophanem.

After completing Contact! a bank will become available in the north-east of the city.

Personalities

Quests

The following quests can be started in Sophanem:

Miscellaneous

• One of the rewards in Pyramid Plunder is a golden sceptre that holds the power to teleport you to a number of pyramids, one of which is Jalsavrah in Sophanem, giving you a quick route to the city.
• You must visit Sophanem to get clothes for Ali Morrisane in the Rogue Trader task; you will have to speak with Siamun, who can be found in the east of the city.

The Grand Tree, teeming with gnomes

Many centuries ago, the gnomes of RuneScape emerged from the caves and tunnels in which they used to live and began to settle in the treetops of forests. Since that day, they have established massive holdings and grown the mightiest tree in the world: the Grand Tree.

Most of the gnomes in RuneScape live in and around the Grand Tree, building platforms on the branches and hollowing out the trunk for spacious rooms. They are a friendly bunch of creatures and incredibly inventive: some of their notable achievements include the gliders that allow fast and convenient travel across RuneScape, their remarkable cocktails and their even more delicious food (even though toad is a staple ingredient). Without the gnomes, it is almost certain that technology and culture would not have advanced as far as it has.

Location

A map of Tree Gnome Stronghold

The Tree Gnome Stronghold takes up a massive area of land in the north-west of RuneScape, on the western bank of Baxtorian Falls.

South and south-east of the Stronghold is the twin capital of Kandarin, West Ardougne and East Ardougne.

To the east, past Baxtorian Falls and McGrubor’s Wood is Seers’ Village and Camelot, where King Arthur is taking some time out before returning to England in its time of need.

Points of Interest

The Stronghold’s points of interest

The Tree Gnome Stronghold is a massive settlement, and gnomes know how to use space. As a result, there is always much to do there.

In the north-west is the Gnome Ball field, where the gnomes allow humans to try their hand at this peculiar sport.

In the south-east corner of the Stronghold is the Gnome Stronghold Agility Course. The gnome armies are especially well-trained, and all of them must meet the approval of the gnome trainers, who shout encouragement from the sides.

The Grand Tree is in the north-east of the Stronghold, and is the centre of gnome culture in RuneScape. On the first floor you will find the remarkable cuisine of Gianne’s Restaurant and the tasty tipples of Blurberry’s Bar. Both Gianne and Blurberry are constantly in need of staff to help out, so if you want to learn the secrets of the gnomish gastronomic arts you might like to pay them a visit.

On the top level of the Grand Tree is the local Gnome Air glider, which will take those that have completed The Grand Tree to almost any Gnome Air landing point in RuneScape.

Miscellaneous

• Gnome Cooking is an excellent way of not only training your Cooking, but also giving you a nice selection of food and drinks to keep you fed when fighting monsters.
• Speaking of which, you may like to offer your services to Aluft Gianne Jnr, in the Gnome Restaurant.
• There are a number of rare trees and normal trees within a very short distance of a bank.
• Flax can be found close to a spinning wheel, which is also very close to a bank.
• To get your Agility skill trained up, the Gnome Stronghold Agility Course is the only level 1 course in RuneScape.
• Brimstail, the gnome magician, will teleport you to the Rune Essence mine.
• Swamp toads can be found in great numbers by the swamp in the north of the Stronghold. You can then use these to either prepare some gnome food, or in an Agility Potion.
• Aside from the Gnome Air gliders, you can use the Spirit Tree to teleport you across the world. Note that you must have completed the Tree Gnome Village and The Grand Tree quests to use the Spirit Tree Network.
• Once you have completed The Grand Tree you will gain access to the mine beneath the Grand Tree. This features a plentiful supply of various ores.
• There is a level 37 Agility shortcut in the north-east of the Stronghold. This will take you close to the Barbarian Outpost.
• There is a fruit tree patch north of the Gnome Stronghold Agility Course.
• After you have completed Monkey Madness, you can return to Crash Island, and then to Ape Atoll, by talking to Daero.

The TzHaar city is a multicombat area and though you may think that some of its citizens make easy pickings, the larger ones will often come to their aid. For this reason, it’s a good idea to either avoid attacking anyone or to come down with friends (or you can just be supremely confident in your skills).

Introduction

TzHaar city, a little warmer than the rest of RuneScape

The TzHaar city is a very different place from the rest of RuneScape: the walls and floors are barely solid, and lava glows through the cracks; the beings that live there are themselves made of stone; their might is indisputable, yet they have no history of attacking their neighbours. Even the mightiest warriors, rangers and mages are careful when wandering the caverns of the TzHaar.

Even the currency in the city beneath the volcano is different. The stone men seems to place little value on gold, and instead favour obsidian, a black volcanic glass.

Location

A map of TzHaar City

The TzHaar city is relatively simple to reach, as it is located a very short walk from the two main docks on Karamja. To the west is Brimhaven, and the Amulet of Glory will also teleport you extremely close to the entrance.

Once you enter the dungeon you will need to find the cave entrance nearby, this is the entry point to the TzHaar city.

East, across the seas to Asgarnia, is Falador.

Points of Interest

The TzHaar City’s points of interest

The features of the TzHaar city that draw the most visitors to the city must be the Fight Pits and the Fight Cave. In the Pits, JalYt (non-TzHaar) combatants fight to be the last one standing, while in the Fight Cave adventurers attempt to survive dozens of waves of bizarre creatures for the merest chance to fight the legendary TzTok-Jad.

In TzHaar-Hur-Lek’s ore and gem store, those who have earned a particularly large amount of TokKul can purchase an uncut onyx, a highly sought-after stone.

TzHaar weaponry is also excellently crafted, and can be purchased from TzHaar-Hur-Tel.

Personalities

Quests

The following quest can be started in the TzHaar city:

• TokTz-Ket-Dill (Members)

The Men of Stone

Miscellaneous

• The only currency that the TzHaar accept is TokKul, which is not tradeable and can only be gathered in the TzHaar city.
• TzTok-Jad is one of the toughest beasts in RuneScape, and you’ll only find him in the TzHaar city. If you’re looking for a challenge, you’d best head under the volcano.
• The Fire Cape, the only animated cape in the game and certainly the best, can only be won by defeating TzTok-Jad. If you defeat TzTok-Jad twice or more (well done!) you will receive another Fire Cape and a large quantity of TokKul.
• Players with level 25 Dungeoneering will be able to find a mysterious entrance in the beginning areas of the TzHaar city.
