100% certain, barbarianism! My fondest memories of playing Runescape in my youth always have barbarianism running in the background
I used to constantly switch to that song anywhere i was in Runescape when i wanted too listen to some music.
Now I'm a musician and I'm still amazed at the quality of this song!

My favorite track from Old School Runescape has to be "Al Kharid".
I remember starting out in Runescape back in elementary school. It amazed me how accessible a game could be that I could play it on any computer anywhere, and it was very popular at school and among friends.
I began logging hours into the game in competition with my friends, I knew very little about how to do things efficiently, but it didn't matter! I was having so much fun exploring and learning how the game worked, and everything was new to me! Slowly but surely, I became one of the "top tier" players among my friends in areas like combat and mining and felt so accomplished!
Part of this early era involved exploring new areas of the game, having no knowledge of them I was always concerned about dying to an NPC after an unfortunate incident involving the Dark Wizards of Varrok.
When I first crossed into Al Kharid, I remember paying the gate fee and hearing a brand new track of the same name. The track captured so many elements of what I was experiencing at the time; a bold and endangering theme that hits hard at the start, with elements of an exotic distant land personified in the instrumentation.
As I got older I noticed elements of the piece seem to draw influence from Indian Music. The tabla-esque drums, droning bass notes, plucked string instruments, and use of minor key bring to mind Indian Raga's (though not quite as long!).
I have since noticed the influence and references that various areas throughout the game correlate with various cultures throughout the world. If only I could see inside the minds of RS music composers in the most renown studio in the world to further my knowledge and application of the process...
