--------------------\+/Sophanem and Menaphos\+/---------------------
Sophanem, also known as the city of the dead, is located to the far south of the Desert. The residants worship Ic**larin. The city is plagued with illness and locust by Amascut. Not much else is known of Sophanem exept that it was probably founded by the past residants of Ullek.

Menaphos is suspected to be the starting place of humanity in Runescape. It was founded in the beggining of the Second Age, but back then it was just a mere camp. In the Third Age, when the settlements of the Desert were destroyed, such as Ullek and Uzer, the refugees retreated to Menaphos.
In the Forth Age, Menaphos and Sophanem were joint in being the most powerful and largest citys in the whole of Runescape. As of this, Menaphos waged war on Alkahrid, though I do not know much on this subject. When Sophanem became plagued, Menaphos closed its doors to them immediatly so as to stop the spread of the plague, which lead to violence between the two citys.

\+/-----------------------------------------------The History Of Humans-----------------------------------------------\+/
Human's came into Runescape through a portal from another plane(possibly the Worlds Gate as they came 'east from over the snowy mountains'). Guthix greeted them upon their arrival in a Human form so as not to scare the new arrivals. He showed the runes which had created and showed them how to use them. These Humans then decided to call the world Runescape as of the runes they were shown. They then dispersed throughout Runescape and making small homes. an example of one is the farm north of Ardougne. The most powerful settlements was founded in the Southern Desert. The people were very skilled in many skills and so they even managed to survive throughout the God Wars.
The Second Age was rather uneventful for the Humans, though they were often effected by Zaros and the over gods interactions. As time went by, Humans started to forget about their origins.
When the Fall of Zaros came, the followers of Zaros were on the run from their own kind as of the wish for all memory of Zaros to be destroyed so as to lesson the possibility of Zaros being brought back to Runescape. The Zarosians ended up being chased into the Desert where the people of the desert then hunted them. This hunt for Zarosians went on for a long time and only really stopped in the Forth Age where the people of the Desert actually forgot why they were after these 'Bandits' and left them in peace on the Western side of the Desert where the Zarosians made a small camp which slowly grew in size.
When the Forth Age came, most of the Human populice and setelments were destroyed from the God Wars and so they started to suffer. Fortunatly, Heroes showed up in this area of time and helped to get the Humans back into a power on runescape again.

\+/-----------------------------------------------The History Of Humans(continued)-------------------------------\+/

The Fifth Age began with the Discovery of Rune Essence and it being crafted into runes, making Humans the most domminant Species on Runescape. As of this new power the Humans had, they decided to try earning their lands back and becoming independant. an example of this is in the 7th age where people lead by the Carnillean family decided to take over their evil overlord hazeel, a mahjarret. this led to the founding of Asgarnia. In the Year 9 the Mage Training Arena was founded to help mages perfect their skils. In the Year 20, Derlith, a demon, was summoned in Varrock by some dark mages but was banished by a man called Wally. When the founder of Kandrin died, King Narras the mad became king. As you can tell by thge name, he was known by everyone the he was Insane. He even tried to improve peoples literacy by getting them to play hangman where someone was actually being hanged! After this death, King Ulthas took over as king. From the years 42-62, the barbarians decided to take action against the users of magic, believing it to be for the gods use only. They Marched onto Northern Kandrin and Misthalin, destroying whatever they came across, including the Mage Training Arena. By the year 62 though the Barbarians were stopped near Varrock. they made camp as they waited for reinforcements, but they never came. They ended up staying there for good and made the Village now known as Barbarian village. In the year 70, the tower of Magic was destroyed in a great fire created by zamorakian mages who had been rejected from the Tower. This lead to the destruction of many tombs and ancients books. In the year 76, the Sultan of Al-Khadrid was killed in a flying Carpet accident which led to the ban of flying carpets for a long time after.

\+/-----------------------------------------------The History Of Humans(continued)-------------------------------\+/

In the year 132, King Arthur came to Runescape, but with no where to go. King Ulthas gave him the Sinclairs house, which Lord Sinclair agreed to. King Arthur worked then to make this place a new Camelot. In the year 136, King Ulthas dies while hunting, which left his 2 sons squabling other who got the throne. In the end, they decided to split Ardougne into half. In the Year 139, an adventurer goes too deep into the Crandor volcano and awakens Elvarg. She the goes destroying the whole of Crandor with only three survivors, being 3 wizards. This made the kingdoms of Runescape worry of this happening to them creating the need for more defences. in the Year 154, Lucien, a Mahjarret, invades Varrock, but the invasion is easily dealt with. In the year 162, King Vallance falls ill and Sir Amik Varze takes his place while he tries to recover. In the Year 168, King Tyras leads a crusade into the western lands, only to be killed by an adventurer. In the present time, many many things have happened, from the quests you do to the founding of the Grand Exchange and The Melting of the ice and snow covering up the God Wars Dungeon.

\+/--------------------------------------------------The History Of Elves-------------------------------------------------\+/

Eight families of the Elves entered through the 'Worlds Gate' In the First Age and saw a beautiful world full of dangerous beasts. Seren told them that if they were to survive in this new land they must join together into one community. She then lead them to the clearing she had made, and in the center of this clearing was the 'Tower of Voices' which she had also made. This was created for all the Elves to meet in times of trouble, and later would be the home of 'The Assembly of Elders'.
Over the next couple of days Seren gave the Elves the idea of making a city of the same crystal in which she was made of so that they could always hear her and live in safety and peace. They decided to make the city be in the shape of an octagon so that each family could have a segment of the city with opposing corners in the center where the Tower of Voices was, so as to make the Elven families feal equal to each other and have equal responsability. Seren then gave each clan a seed which she told them to plant in the center of their segment. The Elves did and a towers grew from the seeds they planted, each to aid that families needs. So Priffid** was founded. After the city was created, the Elves did some exploration to the east and found more life their, including the newly arrived Humans and Dwarves.
In the Forth Age, after many years of Development, 'The Break Out' happened. The Elves had decided it was time to extend their borders. With the sea to the West their was only one way to go, east. After a few years of work, the elves created a pass through the mountains, and on the other side they found chaos. Most races were nearly extinct or already so from the God Wars. Even great citys such as the gnome one which the Elves had had good trade with was only a simple village now. They soon decided they should try and become a power in this chaotic.

\+/--------------------------------------------The History Of Elves(continued)---------------------------------------\+/

The Elves decided to create a non agression pact with the Gnomes, Humans and Ogres firstly to get some sort of authority. The Gnomes and Humans agreed to this pact but the Ogres were in civil war, meaning that a treaty would be impossible to make. The Elves settled for two alliances and started to colonise the land.
The Cadarn clan were chosen to first try to settle in these new lands due to their ability to defend themselves. After the other clans saw that the Cadarn clan was being very successful they started coming to these new lands. Soon the Gnomes, Elves and Humans were growing in power with the new trade agreements they were making. The Elves then started to create many more settlements.
In the South however, the Goblins and Ogres' fighting became more agressive until the Ogres aimed to destroy the whole Goblin race. The Goblins thus retreated north into the few areas not occupied by the Elves. The Goblins then made a nuisance of themselves by interupting the trade lines between the cities of the Elves. Even though this happened, the Elves managed to carry on prospering.
The Elves lived like this for roughly 2 millenia until the year 1930, when for an unknown reason they lost contact with Arandar. They found that the route over the mountains was impassable and their incantations were unable to penetrate a wall of static that now surrounded their homeland. As of this, the Elves called an emergency council, where they decided they needed to find out what happened. And so they finally decided to send 5 members of the Cadarn clan through the well of voyage. After a few weeks of waiting, Adwr was the only one ot return. He told them that he had seen destruction and death, Elves killing Elves in the streets of Priffid** and the seizing of the 'Tower of Voices' by the clan Iowerth. They were not letting any other clan enter.

\+/--------------------------------------------The History Of Elves(continued)---------------------------------------\+/

After hearing this, the Elves of the east debated about what ot do for days. Many idea were suggested, from assasinating Lord Iowerth to just leaving the other Leves to fight. At the later quote, Baxtorian quoted 'Cerddi'(poem) "Only together as the Eight clans can we hope to survive in this hostile new world." After that, he plenged the Cadarn clan to stopping the Madness that had befallen Priffid**. and so began the Baxtorian campaign.
After 3 days of preperation, the Cadarn clan was ready to go. It took about a week to get the newly formed army through to the Well of Voyage but then...(I have not collected any information of yet that could explain what happenened next)
Recently, some of the elves are beginning to become less-trustworthy. For some reasons unknown to us they wish to try and ressurect the 'Dark Lord' and are trying to break into the Temple of Light.

\+/----------------------------------------------The History Of Vampyres-----------------------------------------\+/

Not much is known of the Vampyres in the First and Second age except that they were part of the Zarosian Empire. After it's downfall in the though, Zamorak rewarded the Vampyres, primarily Lord Lowerniel Vergidiyad Drakan, for their loyalty by giving them permission to conquer Hallowvale. And so, Draken formed and army of Vampyres in order to take control of Hallowvale, but the battle wasn't won through force but through trechery. Draken kid-napped King Ascertes, thus forcing Queen Efaritay to surrender.
Draken the spread his control around the whole teritory of Morytania. While and after this was being done, Draken was offering 'eternal life' to the citizens of Hallowvale. The ones who did accept this proposal were turned into Vyrewatch, forever being tortured inside they're body. The Vampyres then spread and eternal fog around the Morytanian area that is so thick it even blocks most the light from entering Varrock. This 'fog' seemed to change the inhabitants of Mort'ton all recieved a strange affliction.
Draken's reign went on until the year 1100 of the Fourth Age, where he lead an invasion upon Misthalin. Fortunatly for us though, he was defeaten at the River Salve and the Salve was blessed so that evil forces could not cross the river.
During the Fifth Age, a force called the 'Myreque' have come about, and are trying to defeat the Vampyres, and have had quite alot of luck on the matter, with the help of an adventurer. The Vampyres are also up to something though, which would appear to be the crossing of the Salve, probably to try another invasion on Misthalin.
