The Seers' Village is made for Fletching. There are a wide range of trees around the village, and a flax field. Combined with this, there is a spinning wheel upstairs in the seers' house. Pacing up and down the main street is a Town Crier, who is more than happy to explain the Rules of Conduct and the role of Player Moderators.
There is also Camelot, an impressive castle filled with noble and chivalrous knights, as well as King Arthur and Merlin the wizard. If you have completed King's Ransom, you will have access to the knights' training room at the top of the castle.
Coal can also be brought to the village from a mine beyond McGrubor's Wood by using the coal trucks
Many centuries ago, the gnomes of RuneScape emerged from the caves and tunnels in which they used to live and began to settle in the treetops of forests. Since that day, they have established massive holdings and grown the mightiest tree in the world: the Grand Tree.
Most of the gnomes in RuneScape live in and around the Grand Tree, building platforms on the branches and hollowing out the trunk for spacious rooms. They are a friendly bunch of creatures and incredibly inventive: some of their notable achievements include the gliders that allow fast and convenient travel across RuneScape, their remarkable cocktails and their even more delicious food (even though toad is a staple ingredient). Without the gnomes, it is almost certain that technology and culture would not have advanced as far as it has.
Location
The Tree Gnome Stronghold takes up a massive area of land in the north-west of RuneScape, on the western bank of Baxtorian Falls.
South and south-east of the Stronghold is the twin capital of Kandarin, West Ardougne and East Ardougne.
To the east, past Baxtorian Falls and McGrubor's Wood is Seers' Village and Camelot, where King Arthur is taking some time out before returning to England in its time of need.
The Draynor region, like its population, has a weird variety to offer. In less unusual terms, though, there are a number of farms nearby, some nice woods for chopping down trees, and a few Farming patches for members scattered about, including one in the shadows behind Draynor Manor solely for the purposes of growing nightshade.
Diango, the legendary toyseller himself, offers what may be the most desirable merchandise in the whole of RuneScape: horses and dragon plates. The wise adventurer knows to look to Diango for visions of what the gods intend for their world (or, perhaps, to understand the gods' sense of humour). Joining him in the market is a Town Crier, who is more than happy to explain the Rules of Conduct and the role of Player Moderators.
There is also the wine merchant Fortunato whose nose for a good drop is almost beyond compare. Ned, an old sailor who has retired to the village, makes rope and other similar items in his house on the east side of the town. Aggie the Witch, who lives north of the market, has retired from the usual tricks of the witching trade, like turning people into toads, and now mostly makes dyes in a variety of colours.
To the east of the town, quite heavily guarded, is a jail looked over by a watch tower. Lady Keli, the jail's owner, specialises in less than legal imprisonments, so her cells are occasionally occupied by the nobility, whose families she intends to ransom them back to.
A quiet town on the west bank of the River Lum, Lumbridge presents a good start to your adventuring. The weather is always fine and the citizens are usually friendly. Despite its imposing castle, ruled by the generous Duke Horacio, the town is founded on its farms. There is much to do in Lumbridge, though, and it boasts a variety of training and practice opportunities, whatever your particular interests may be.
The town's buildings are all made of the same grey stone that has survived through the years. This is the sort of determination that has seen Lumbridge through even the hardest times.
Location
Lumbridge is the first town you come to after Tutorial Island, so finding your way there after your first few expeditions should be no trouble.
It lies directly south of Varrock, the capital of Misthalin and seat of King Roald. East from Lumbridge is the toll gate to Al Kharid, a major desert town that spans the desert from the toll gate to the Shantay Pass. Travelling west from Lumbridge will deliver you to Draynor Village, a small town menaced by the ominous Draynor Manor.
As a rural township, there is a cluster of farms to the north where the locals scratch a living from the soil. There is also a windmill, which supplies most of the surrounding region with flour for bread, cakes and other baked treats. To the south of the town is Lumbridge Swamp, a sodden and dreary area filled with twisted mangroves.
Falador lies in the centre of both Asgarnia and of RuneScape, and as such it is relatively straightforward to find. It lies north-west of Lumbridge and Draynor Village, and directly west of the foreboding edifice of Draynor Manor. To the east, beyond the Barbarian Village and the River Lum, lies Varrock, capital of Misthalin.
To the north of Falador lies the Dwarven Mine, which can be reached both above and under the ground, by virtue of the lattice of tunnels that extends between the Mine and the Miners' Guild in Falador. Travelling north-west from Falador, via Taverley, will bring you to Burthorpe, seat of the Crown Prince of Asgarnia and home of the Imperial Guard.
There is little directly west of Falador except the Makeover Mage and the Dark Wizards' Tower.
Though there are only two gates in Falador's walls, there is also a broken section of wall to the west, and a tunnel beneath the walls in the south-west.
Varrock is one of the most ancient cities in RuneScape, but before the time of man there were cities much older (though there is now little evidence of where they stood). The location is ideal for a city: it sits astride major trading routes, with all the resources of Misthalin at its disposal. It is quite natural that Varrock would be considered among the most powerful and important cities in the world.
In the past, Misthalin has pushed back the dark menace from Morytania as well as ensuring that the inhabitants of the Wilderness remain in the desolate north. If either were to spill over the borders and into Misthalin, Varrock would be the first line of defence, and the single hope the world might have to stop them.
The city is not without its own problems, though, and the divide between the wealthy and the poor is like a great scar across the city. The southern half is full of thieves and the poverty-stricken, while the north, with the palace and fine shops, is populated by those who do not wish to see the dirtier parts of the city.
