September 29, 200817 yr Well one of the old story lines was opened once again: Varrock is under extreme danger: danger not seen since the 4th age! requirements: Level 51 Agility Level 51 Hunter Level 54 Smithing Level 59 Mining Shield of Arrav The Knight's Sword Romeo and Juliet Demon Slayer Temple of Ikov The Family Crest What Lies Below Garden of Tranquillity Able to fight multiple level 85 enemies Willing to brave the dangers of revenants in the Wilderness Items needed: [*:39fuomb7]armour/food to survive many (and kill 6) lv 85 zombies [*:39fuomb7]Pickaxe, [*:39fuomb7]coordinate clue stuff (watch, sextant, chart, spade) [*:39fuomb7]lightsource [hide=reward][/hide] Small recommendation Read http://www.runescape.com/kbase/viewarticle.ws?guid=legend_of_arrav_1 to understand what's going on here! guide To start of speak to Captain Rovin in the north west tower (3rd floor) of the varrock palace! He will tell you about a disturbing report from one of his scouts: zombies seem to be organized! - You're send out for a little field trip and discovering who leads them! First head of to the graveyard of shadows, there the first mission is to follow the trail the zombies left behind! The trail basically works like with hunter: you investigate bushes/stones/trees to see next parts of the trail. The big difference is that this trail doesn't really goes straight: it splits up a lot, walks in circles and has some dead ends: Below I made pictures about all important investigate points (as well as a rough sketch of the "real" path) - : Between the 2nd and 4th point I missed a few points: after that every point is in it :P. [hide=tracking] First (note it's the southern path) 2nd, after the first times the path splits 3rd, red lines are the real path (others are from dead ends/wrong paths) 5th, FIND A KEY! (You'll find a key here and that means you're on the right track) [/hide] After that just behind the altar you'll notice a new cave, enter this: [hide=stronghold]-First head to the south, there you'll be able to watch over a small railing. ****CUTSCENE**** Now that you know how the security system works grab 3 bottles and kill 3 skelletons, use a bottle on the mist to capture it. After capturing enter the door ****CUTSCENE**** You're bottles have damped out: kill 3 more zombies and collect the mist and enter the next door. Follow the path till a point where you can watch another cutscene. ****CUTSCENE****[/hide] Now head back to varrock and inform the captian. You'll have to visit your old friend numorf the dwarf again. Before going I recommend you to get a pickaxe with you. numorf tells you that he doesn't know anything about it: but you should ask the holy furnace. And numorf gives you a coordinate clue (and hints that you need blurite: get it :P). TREASURE TRAIL TIME! [hide=digtrail][/hide] Use your pickaxe on the hole and enter it ****CUTSCENE**** Now talk to the dwarf there: Ask him if you can use the furnace, and he tells you need a good reason (luckily saving a city from a majharrat is a good cause for him). Use the blurite ore on the furnace and talk to the dwarf again ****CUTSCENE**** (Wow this remembers me about Frodo looking into the water mirror at galadriel in LotR) Time to find the descendants! Report back to the captian (in varrock awaits you a not-too-pleasant surprise too). Make your way to the library and talk to redo: he'll tell you that a list is somewhere on the ground. Grab the list and look who's the descendant from all people mentioned. [hide=descendants]damar leptoc = draul leptoc (lord), juliet leptoc marv halen = haig halen (curator) laris = romeo gontamue (minor noble) khom = enhtor prysin (knight) dathero raispher = aeonisig raispher (advisor) ramone ravits = horvik ravits (apprentice blacksmith) tarrlo remanis = roald remanis (king)[/hide] Now that you have a select few people left test everyone. Most (all in fact) won't feel any difference when wielding the shield. However 1 person (which seems to be randomly) will tell you about that he's adopted, however the last 1 in the line was a woman who married a certain fitzharmon. Back to the library: [hide=final]dimitheis fitzharmon (former noble)[/hide] It's your old friend from the family crest! Now that you finally have the correct name head towards him (he lives the "fence" south east part of varrock). And ask him if he could help you.. ****AMAZING CUTSCENE**** (I want that powers too) And that ends the current quest. Varrock is safe for another age! (or at least, safe apart from the random adventurer rampaging and killing all guards). A small hint: you can head also to the 1st floor from the museum where you can update the story again, and get another 5 kudos giving you a grand total of 163 possible kudos! (and an extra 1k xp lamp). Hope anyone else has some fun with this quest: I like it! (Lot's of cutscenes/storys in it). EDIT: greasemonkey script was acting up again, seems to be fixed now! First they came to fishingand I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing Then they came to the yewsand I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews Then they came for the oresand I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.

September 29, 200817 yr Author is it me or are the pictures and words all over the place? e.g. Read the legend of arrav to understand what's going on here! Yeah, don't know what's going on here either - in some way the forums parsed the whole urls wrongly.. trying to update it now! EDIT: fixed Ow and no there are no item rewards for this quest: but isn't questing/watching cutscenes a reward in itself? First they came to fishingand I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing Then they came to the yewsand I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews Then they came for the oresand I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.
September 29, 200817 yr Sorry but this quest have no good rewards -.- I mean only exp? Pfft might take some time before I do it
September 29, 200817 yr Ah so unlike the Shield of Arrav, it seems we don't need a partner for Defenders of Varrock. Excellent! I'm guessing we need to fight off the six lvl-85 zombies while we're entering the Fortress. Other than that, there's no further combat, right?

September 29, 200817 yr mistake #1: when you say "collect the red mist by killing skeletons" i assume you mean the armoured zombies? mistake #2: instead of saying "u might need blurite * hint hint*" wouldnt it be better to tell us to get the blurite before we walk all the way to ice mountain and back when i could've gotten it while talking to the dwarf -.- O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O OO O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O
September 30, 200817 yr great guide pal, I did it without guide though :3 (None at the time I did it) and wow, it is really an amazing quest, can't wait til we can free Arrav from that curse!
