The Tower seeks out Community, Instinct, Passion, and Curiosity that all give part of a spell that will destroy the scythe. In a final showdown the Tower and the 5 allied Archons duel with Chaos and destroy the scythe banishing Chaos back to his prison and sealing the temple once more within the earth.
During the Tower's absense due to the Archons they arrive and are immediately met with hostility from the locals and rumors of walking tree in the surrounding forest. The Tower manages to patch up relations with Draynor and begin investigation into the moving trees. By chance a group from the Tower enters the woods looking for herbs and is attacked by a strange fungus beast. Upon defeating it they group meets with Roak of the Glade, an Ent native to the forest who has been hunting down the fungus beasts as they have been infecting the forest and making it uninhabitable for the Ents. Roak takes the group to Woodhaven the new Ent settlement to meet with their leader Yewen the Many Ringed. Yewen explains that the fungus has infected the heart of the wood and is spreading. The Tower agrees to help and sets off the heart. After traveling and picking up a Tzhaar Pilgrim lost in the woods they reach the heart and do battle with a fungus being attacked to the Heart Tree. After a climactic battle they defeat the fungus being and burn away the remaining growths causing the fungus in the woods to wither and die. The Tower the returns home with their new Tzhaar ally having saved the woods. Unbeknownst to the Tower a cloaked figure had watched them from the shadows keeping tabs on what would later be learned as his "puppets" then leaves to set about the last part of his plan.
The Tower realizing how little they really knew about what was going on in the darker parts of the world, began gathering information.

Anything they could learn about conspiracy or organizations they looked into as they began to feel they were being guided along by some invisible hand. This lead to rumors of a small time cult that had been revived in the streets of Menaphos. Members of the Tower travelled across the Kharidian desert where they learned that this cult had been performing ancient rituals long forgotten and excavating ruins lost in the desert, the nearest of which being close to Nardah. Following this lead the Tower sought the aid of a local magic guild, The Sisters of the Elid. The Sisters lead the Tower to the ruins leading to a skirmish between the cult's forces and the mages. The cult thouroughly beaten retreated within the temple forcing the Tower to follow. Within the Temple the Tower found it was not uninhabited as many undead and strange lizard creatures similar to the Viashino they had fought years before dwelled within. They quickly lost the cult but found many of them dead in the passages of the ruin. The Tower explored the temple viewing the frescos and hieroglyphics describing an ancient and power dragon that had ruled over the desert millenia before and had even stood against the Zarosian armies in the third age. They learned that this Dragonlord has suddenly vanished leaving behind a series of followers scattered across the land who one day await his return. The Tower continued through the ruins doing battle with a reanimated King who was part of the ancient dragon cult and aimed to hold the Tower there indefinately to allow for his master to return. The Tower dispatched the Mummy Lord and fled northward to warn the rest of the world of this coming blight.

The Tower arrived in Varrock desperate to warn of the coming onslaught and to gather forces are met with distrust as the Tower has lost some of its prestige since the Schism and the conflict with the Archons. Shunned, their warnings fallen on deaf ears the Tower moves to leave but is caught when a massive red dragon flies down from the mountains dividing Misthalin from Morytania and begins destroying Varrock. The Tower and the forces quick enough to mobilize in the city respond and manage to fend of the dragon but see it fly south toward an unsuspecting Lumbridge. The Tower teleports their quickly and finds it in worse shape than Varrock as an army bearing the standard of the Dragonlord have also descended on the city. Overwhelmed and forced to flee the Tower heads west back to Draynor to plan their next move. Fending off invading cultists the Tower grows tired and ragged and in desperation believes the best way to end the threat would be to kill the cult's leadership before their Dragonlord returns to take command of the armies and wage war across the rest of Gielinor. The Tower heads into Lumbridge the new seat of the Dragonlord's Empire and fought their way through a great monument that has been magically errected to the Dragonlord's honour. Inside they face off against two ancient dragons that are serving as generals to the cult's armies. The Tower wounds but failed to kill the dragons forcing them to flee. The Tower finally reached the center of the monument to find the Dragonlord has already arrived. Dragonlord Nichial Ouboras, known as the Thousand Year Blight greets them and promptly flattens the mages having them captured and set to be executed.

The Tower beaten and bloodied just barely manages to escape their captors and flee once more west only to find their home has been nearly destroyed by the twin dragon generals forcing them to seek refuge with their ally Queen Rose of Falador. The Tower waited, healing from a foe that was beyond them and waited for the Dragonlord's next move.
In the following months the Dragonlord's armies scoured the landscape taking Varrock in the north and claiming Misthalin as its own. It then set its sight on Asgarnia and began attacking the settlements west of Ice Mountain. The Tower in no state to fight the Dragonlord seek the help of all they can find. They petition the other guilds for help and build a small army stationing them in Falador to help defend Asgarnia from the invading forces. But this is not enough. They seek the help of an eldritch entity they had long forgotten about Mori'qoringa who had lead them to defeat the eldritch monstrocities in the past. Mori sent the Tower to a set of ruins far in the north Wilderness where mortals no longer dare tread. There the Tower learned of the first coming of Nichial and that a mighty weapon of magic and silver was made that wounded the Dragonlord such that he was forced to flee beyond the bounds of this world and into another. They learned that this weapon like Lady Death's scythe were forged by the Archons in their last return to mortal knowledge. The Tower tracks down the now organized Archons and begs for their assistance. The Archons send the Tower to the last known site of the "God Slayer" where the Tower faced off against an ancient construct left to guard the weapon.

The mages obtain the weapon and head to the Dig Site near Varrock where it is said that Ouboras has made his seat of power. Sneaking through the Dragonlord's lands the Tower faces him down where he explained that everything the Tower had done had been by his design. He had sent Blackwood on his path, given the magic resistance alchemy to the Scarlet Emperor, informed Cyg'Yiatal of the silver key, whispered doubt and failure into the ears of Archmage Syvian of the Yanille guild and the Queen of the Ice and Snow, lead the Tower to destroy Lady Death's scythe, planted the corruption in the Draynor woods and revived his former cult to draw them off just long enough for him to build his masterwork. Ouboras had built a mighty artifact that would drain all energy from Gielinor and its deities and allow him unlimited rule over the vast multiverse of planes that existed beyond Gielinor's binds. Ouboras and the Tower did battle as their gathered forces also clash on the surface above. The Tower about to fail calls upon the "God Slayer" aiming it true and piercing the heart of Ouboras, slaying the might Dragonlord once and for all. Leaderless and now outnumbered the cult collapses and the dragons fled back into the mountains allowing for civilaztion to be restored to Gielinor.

The Varrock Academy of Magic, A History
from The Historia Arcana,
by Maximus Torpus

Established during the rebuilding of Varrock after the Dragonlord War the Varrock Academy of Magic has been one of the most enduring magical school since the "Mage's Association" incident has put many prestigious magical institutes under scrutiny. But even it does not have a spotless record. First incepted after the Guild Schism of the 5th Age, funding came from various sources in the hopes that a more focused, centralized magic school would lead to better trained mages and decrease the likelyhood of another attempted coup. However due to conflicts and the destruction of Varrock delayed the modifications and openning. When it finally openned it was under the leadership of Dawn Lakewood leaving the Wizard's Tower along with a number of other members in order to facilitate the new school. Being a school it normally carried out its day to day opporations with tradition and structure but due to its magial nature and what has come to be known as the "Tower Curse" the academy was not able avoid conflicts with supernatural entities. The first of these major conflicts occured during 3 years into its lifespan. A freakish carnival had been touring the norther parts of Asgarnia and Misthalin leading to a number of strange missing child cases. Students looking to blow off steam decided to explore the carnival only to find that a dark force had been taking these children and feeding on them. The students learning too much were set upon by the carnies. A few students were captured leading to a rescue mission held by the faculty which led to a number of students sneaking out to join in the rescue effort.

The students were saved and the carnival shut down but it did cause the Academy to occur the ire of the dark forces running the carnival. This lead to the Academy being an often state of conflict with a group that came to be known as the Order of Oblivion. A group of mages with attachments to an ancient beast of infinite power that exists beyond the realm of mortal comprehension. Due to its feeding from the carnival debocle it's ability to enter Gielinor grew stronger and bits of the void began leaking out into the world forcing the Void Knights to put a more permanent pressence in Varrock in and around the Academy. During this time members of the Order of Oblivion began building a power base in Varrock and infiltrated the Academy under the guise of a professor. After some meddling from a student group calling themselves the Silver Griffins outed the spy and with the help of a pair of Void Knight acolytes managed to stop the Order of Oblivion from channeling energy for relics within the Academy to summon their master. The Order continued to harass the Academy even away from the school itself. During an exchange to the Magic Training Academy of Al Kharid a group of students from both schools got seperated near to the Citherade Abbey and fell into the middle of a Order temple where they had been working with an agent within the Abbey to channel holy relics into their rituals. The students explored the temple and managed to cause enough damage to halt the summoning ritual and send the Order into retreat.

Not long after the students having taken shelter at the Abbey came under assault by the brunt of the Order's forces leading to a battle on the plateau infront of the Abbey itself only ending when reinforcements from the Magic Training Academy arrived. Months passed and the Academy went back to relative normality the Order having thought to be defeated after their last skirmish. During a trip to Edgeville to collect supplies a number of the Silver Griffins were attacked by a cloaked figure that appeared and disappear into the wood nearby suddenly and violently putting Violet Vyrell in the infirmary for a month afterwards. Eager to seek revenge for their friend the Silver Griffins following a lead they received headed into the mountains east of Varrock to a large ruined castle housing the remnants of a family of Vampyres with a history with the Wizard's Tower. The attack was meant as a distractions to lure the children of Wizard's Tower members into a revenge plot 17 years in the making. The teachers fearing that their students had bitten off more they could chew followed them to the castle. The teachers managed to save the Silver Griffins and retreat back to the Academy persued by the Vyre family. The Vyres using mind control and no small hint of dark magics summoned up a force large enough to menace the school. After skirmishes the Vyres were finally routed vowing to return to regain their honour eventually. The Academy's final interaction with the Order of Oblivion came at the end of the same year the Vyres menaced the school.

The Order despite the best efforts of the Academy to stop them break into the private library of a well respected scholar in Varrock and steal a map to lead them to an entity known as the Arbiter of Silence the only being that the Order could still exploit to allow their master into this plane. The Silver Griffins learning this and calling on their relatives and friends within the Tower joined forces to see if they could find the Arbiter first and convince it to refuse the Order. The alliance clashes with the Order as they seek out more clues to find the Arbiter and both factions eventually meeting at the Arbiter's temple. For either side to gain the Arbiter's favor it must have a blood sacrifice leading to both factions engaging in combat to stop the other from starting the ritual to harness the Arbiter's power. During the confusion and subsequent melee Luna Vyrell managed to break away from the fight long enough to sacrifice herself to start the ritual and permanently stop the Order of Oblivion from raising their master from it's realm.
After the Arbiter incident the Academy was occasionally menanced by the Order but it was always manage due to their lack of morale and focus having been thoroughly thwarted.
