4.5) Forests, mountains and volcanoes


¤
Asgarnia Forest
is the unofficial name given to a forest between Ice Mountain and Gunnarsgrunn. It's quite dense and uneven in places, making it hard to cross. It houses the ruins of the body altar and a monastery.

¤ On the northern half of the island,
Braindeath Island Volcano
may be found. It is seemingly dormant, easily scalable and has a pool of stagnant water at its summit.

¤
Eagles' Peak
is a high mountain at the northernmost end of the Galarpos range, named after the many eagles that fly around its summit. In fact, it contains a system of caves where several giant eagles have their nests. The mountain has two small pieces of swampland at its western and eastern feet while the northern side consists of a very steep slope that connects to the Piscatoris woodland.

¤ The
Feldip Hills
are the lands south of Kandarin that are inhabited by ogres and formerly goblins and skavids. The southern parts have a subtropic climate and consist of dense jungles while the northern part, which contains the actual hills, bears more of a resemblance to a swampy moor. The ogre settlements Gu'tanoth and Oo'glog are in the Feldip Hills, as is the command centre for ARMS.

¤
Mount Firewake
was a mountain somewhere on Kethsi where the 52 Grand High Mages of the conclave met. They were wiped out by Dragonkin.

¤ The
Forinthry Cliffs
are a long range of steep cliffs that separate the Troll Country from the Wilderness. A few parts are crossable, but in general the cliffs aren't very scalable. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

¤ The
Haunted Woods
in northern and eastern Morytania do their name honour. Created by Lord Drakan's corruption of the land, the woods, which steadily merge into the Mort Myre Swamp in some parts, harbour a variety of wicked creatures, such as vampyres, both roaming and sitting in tall dead trees waiting to assault travellers below, massive leeches and large, brown spiders. Some trees have hollow trunks too. The woods run from the Lordship of the North Coast to Port Phasmatys to east of the Sanguinesti Region. Finally, the woods contain a nest of viridian chinchompas, an underground werewolf Skullball and agility arena, and the deadly Araxyte Hive.

¤
Ice Mountain
is a very tall - and cold - mountain in central Asgarnia. It houses several dwarf colonies in its caves, and formerly the great hall of Camdozaal. It also has a group of icefiends on its summit, in addition to one of the two last White Trees. There are several runoff streams that have created a lake just east of Ice Mountain. The fortress of the Kinshra is located on its north-eastern slope. It was also where the Zamorakian extremist Charred Folk from the Wilderness, banned from the Zamorakian clergy even for following the violent ways of Chaos Priest Lungrim, were taken to as slaves by the Kinshra in the 150s of the Fifth Age.

¤ The elven forest of
Isafdar
makes up most of the continent of Tirannwn, stretching from the coast of the Western Sea all the way to the Galarpos. As a result of the civil war, it is currently ridden with traps and the rebel elves have built their hidden village Lletya in the forest, as have the Tyras Army their encampments. The forest is dense and one easily gets lost in it. Dire wolves, grizzly bears, rabbits, pawyas, grenwall and various species of butterfly call the forest their home.

A small river runs westwards from the Galarpos just south of Prifddinas. The southernmost parts of Isafdar have been turned into a poisonous, tar-like moor as a result of the waste coming out of the Arposandra sewers.

¤ The
Galarpos Mountains
, which is Old Gnomish for "all rock", are a very large and inhospitable mountain range running from the southern part of Piscatoris to Castle Wars in the south and they form the border between Kandarin and Tirannwn. There are many caves beneath the mountains, such as the Temple of Light, the Underground Pass, and the city of Arposandra. The Arandar Pass, built under the leadership of the Cadarn elves during the Break Out, provides a more or less safe passage from Prifddinas to Kandarin. The Dark Lord, the death-obsessed malicious aspect of Seren, resided inside the mountain, attracted to the Death Altar within it.

¤ Now a dead, vampyre-infested hellhole, the area between Burgh de Rott and what is now Meiyerditch used to be a pristine forest known as
Hallowglade
. Unfortunately, Drakan's corrupted has affected it and it is now home to a smorgasbord of vamp(yr)ic creatures of all classes.

¤
Hope Rock
is a mountain in the middle of the Mort Myre Swamp with a large plateau on top. It also has an elaborate cave system beneath. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

¤ The Mort Myre Swamp used to be a beautiful, lush forest in the times of the Hallowland, known as
Humblethorn
. This is no longer the case as Drakan's corruption turned it into a flooded swamp with massive snails spitting magical acid, enormous swamp snakes, aggressive nail beasts, patrolling vampyres, and - worst of all - a decay that turns anyone to starve into a monstrous ghast.

¤ The ever-active
Karamja Volcano
can be found in the jungle of Musa Point, east of Brimhaven. While its surface is patrolled by mostly imps and scorpions, there is a dungeon inhabited by larger denizens of Pandemonium beneath that connects to the caves beneath Crandor. More importantly, however, the TzHaar City is located in the middle of the volcano with the TokHaar and the Elder Kiln in its heart. The inner magma chamber's heat is spread throughout the volcano by a circular conduit of lava built by the TzHaar, known as the TzKot-Zo.

¤ The tall
Kharidian Cliffs
stretch all the way from the Mage Training Arena to the Abbey of St. Elspeth Cithared(e), which is elevated above the rest of the desert. Beneath is a lake that is also the source for the River Elid, and desert stryke(wyr)ms are known to burrow in the sandier parts of the cliffs.

¤ The once pristine
Lumbridge Forest
, located between the Lumbridge Swamps, its castle, Draynor Village and the farms of the Breadbasket, used to be home to large groups of goblins and giant rats. The H.A.M. movement also had their hideout beneath it. Unfortunately, the arrival of Zamorak in the Sixth Age sparked a battle with Saradomin that turned the entire forest into a large crater.

¤
McGrubor's Wood
is a small, enclosed private forest owned by McGrubor, who has stationed many guard dogs inside. The Temple of Ikov runs beneath it and in fact the Guardians of Armadyl have their base right underneath. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire.

¤ Home to many wild animals, including ferrets and several species of kebbit,
Piscatoris
is a lush woodland area west of the Tree Gnome Stronghold with a recently founded fishing colony in the north. In the Sixth Age, a herd of Airut arrived to the western coast, harbingering the arrival of their bestial goddess Tuska.

¤ The
Silvarea
mountain pass runs through a series of cliffs between Varrock and Morytania where most of the Misthalin-Morytania War took place and Temple Paterdomus was built in Saradomin's honour. The mountains are rich in limestone. King's Road runs from Varrock all the way east to Paterdomus

¤ Mnt
Trollheim
is located in the middle of the Troll Country between the Death Plateau and the Temple of Lost Ancients. It's a circular mountain with jagged slopes, populated by trolls, and Mad Eadgar lives in a cave at the top.

¤
Trollweiß Mountain
is a very large snowy mountain north of the Fremennik Mountain camp, west of the Mahjarrat Ritual Site. It is home to many vicious ice wolves as well as the rare Trollweiss Flower. Its only slope, the southern one, is not very steep and can be carefully ridden with a sled. The Ice Gate, and by extent the dangerous Ice Path and treacherous Ice Shelf, are to the east of the mountain.

¤
White Wolf Mountain
forms the Kandarian-Asgarnian border. Few have crossed it, since it's inhabited by packs of very dangerous white wolves who have killed many travellers. The Ice Queen's Lair is beneath the mountain, as is a dwarven tunnel that allows safer passage, although most humans aren't permitted to use it.

¤ The centrally located
Wilderness Volcano
is a massive crater created by Zamorak's destruction of Forinthry in the final stage of the God Wars and it is where Guthix struck down a large sword as a marker of his Edicts. While the volcano isn't especially active, it's inhabited by demons and undead, making it dangerous territory nonetheless. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire.

¤ The very active
Wilderness North Volcano
is a dangerous mountain always spewing lava in the north-eastern Wilderness. There is a miraculously intact bridge over the lava crater which can, for some reason, be crossed without sustaining too many injuries. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire.

4.6) Seas, rivers and lakes


¤
Lake Baxtorian
is a shallow body of water south of the Barbarian Outpost. It flows into the Lunar Sea to the east, but more prominently into the River Dougne to the south through a series of waterfalls known as the Baxtorian Falls, of which it is said that King Baxtorian buried himself beneath them when he returned from his campaign in 1935 of the Fourth Age only to find his empire in ruins. There is a whirlpool at the northern end of the lake which sucks water into the Ancient Cavern beneath.

¤
Camelot Lake
is a name I made up for the large lake north of Camelot and east of Sinclair Mansion. It has a small river running off to the Lunar Sea, suggesting it is created from natural springs in the Troll Country. The same river gives rise to another, smaller, lake north of the Seers' Village.

¤
Lake Crystalmere
is a sparkling blue lake between Taverley and the Falador Swamp, surrounded by several legends. In its centre is a peninsula with a sorceress who guards the sword Excalibur. There is a cavern beneath the lake filled with various monsters and was the base of a huge troll shaman named Magic Stick until he was slain by Ariane and an adventurer.

¤ The
River Dougne
starts at the bottom of the Baxtorian Falls and travels south-east from there, flowing through East Ardougne and then going south-west towards the Unquiet Ocean. It also has a small side river which goes underground at Castle Wars. Its banks are the site of an ongoing battle in the Khazard-Gnome War.

¤ The
Eastern Sea
is a large, warm sea east of Morytania and the desert where most of the pirate isles are located, including Mos Le'Harmless. Unsurprisingly the Eastern Lands lie to the east of it, with the Wushanko Isles in the south. It has been the site of many naval battles, mostly involving pirates. It has various coral reefs, such as Luke's Reef and The Other 50% Reef. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

¤ Named after the Menaphite goddess of fertiltiy Elidinis, the
River Elid
supplies the Kharidian Desert with most of its freshwater so long as the goddess is pleased. Its source is an underground lake beneath the Abbey of St. Elspeth Cithared* where the three spirits of the Elid reside. It then steadily flows south-south-west, separating Menaphos and Sophanem before discharging into the Unquiet Ocean in an estuary.

¤ The unofficially named
Hemenster Lake
is a large body of water very rich in various species of fish. Hemenster and the Fishing Guild make good use of this.

¤ The
Ice Mountain Lake
is a body of cold freshwater created by run-off streams from Ice Mountain, which lies just west of it. It is home to many fish, some of which seem to have been able to swim into the ruins of Camdozaal as well, suggesting a connection between the two.

¤ Consisting completely of melting water from Trollweiss Mountain, the
River Kelda
flows underground beneath the mountain with the city of Keldagrim built on its banks. The dwarves use the river for transportation of ores and ferries. It is responsible for eroding the cave, creating the mines south-west of the city. Its water appears to be greenish.

* The famous
River Lum
, from which Lumbridge derives its name, is a river that seemingly starts in the Wilderness, flowing underground until surfacing again just before the Wilderness ditch. The part that flows directly south starting from Edgeville is used as the border between Misthalin and Asgarna, after which is flows right through the Breadbasket of Misthalin. The Lum divides Lumbridge in two parts before merging with the Unquiet Ocean. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !
