History Characters / RuneScapeMisthalin

** Just as Count Draynor is one to CountDracula, Ruantun is likely one to Renfield with the reveal of being Count Drainer's assistant, which is revealed in the quest ''Desert Treasure''.

* NoSenseOfDirection: He's always getting lost. Most notably his trip to "Falador" as mentioned in the ''Ernest the Chicken'' quest and "Daemonheim" as mentioned in the ''Distractions and Diversions Court Cases''.

A goblin that can be found right outside of "Draynor Manor", near "Death's Office". Despite being a goblin he's shown himself to be rather intelligent. He's also attracted to the witch Wendy, but fears getting rejected by her, well aware of how most people find goblins ugly.

A village that exists between "Falador" and "Lumbridge". It's unknown when the village formed, but is all but guaranteed to have gained it's name from "Draynor Manor" [[note]]Incidentally this means that the village is also named after Count Draynor Drakan, someone the villagers would not want to be associated with.[[/note]], which is located just North of it. The village is known for its great farm land. Several problems exist in the village though, it used to be terrorized by the vampyre named Count Draynor Drakan up until he was slayed by the player in the quest ''Vampyre Slayer'', it's home to The Skulls; a violent gang, and a recent bank robbery.

A resident witch in "Draynor Village", who appears to make a living by crafting and selling dyes. She appears to be a well liked and active member of the village's society. One thing she does for the village is try to protect its citizens from Count Draynor. She also has a apprentice named Jimmy The Chisel.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's a friendly blond witch, who shows concern for people and tries to protect the people of "Draynor Village" from a vampyre.

A merchant that sells toys in "Draynor Village". He first appeared as a [[AprilFoolsDay April Fools' Day joke]]. Since then he also gained other functions in the game such as being used to redeem item codes and most famously being a sort of bank for most holiday and commemorative event items.

More commonly known as the Wise Old Man, Dionysius is a retired adventurer who resides in "Draynor Village". He was born in "Varrock" and became a devoted follower of Saradomin, he was even offered the opportunity to study on the Island "Entrana" with it's priests. Instead of excepting the offer though he instead chose to travel the land instead. To this day the influence he's made in "Gielinor" through his adventures can still be seen today and is still pretty well known in the land.

Despite his fame and success Dionysius grew to become bitter, believing that he was not properly rewards for his deeds. These feeling likely worsened after his ex-girlfriend Zenevivia stole his player-owned house, forcing him to move to "Draynor Village". It was here that he chose to rob the "Draynor Village" bank, an event which lead him to gaining his famous blue partyhat. Despite committing this crime he has not be apprehend or is even currently being pursued.

Despite everything though he is still considered a hero to many throughout "Gielinor" and is happy to help the player in many ways, such as in quests and cleaning out their bank of useless items. Players are also able trade artifacts with him or preform tasks for him.

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveSupernaturalPowers: Abuses his powers to murder innocents and break into the "Draynor Village" bank simply because he feels he is entitled to a greater reward. It's also hinted that his next target is the Wizards' Tower to the south, [[spoiler:which he and his girlfriend Zenevivia promptly go and attack after they are reunited. It fails miserably.]]

A traveling witch, she first seen with her caravan south of "Falador" during the 2008 Halloween event, before moving to west of the "Legends' Guild" and finally a little north of "Draynor Village". She also apparently makes really good goulash, which is magical in nature. She owns two skeletal oxen named Babe and Norman, and has an apprentice named Wendy.

A devout follower of Saradomin who moved to "Draynor Village" with his wife Maris. He is justifiably terrified of the vampyre Count Draynor and as such refuses to leave his house. Eventually he manages to convince the player into slaying the vampyre.

* InformedPoverty: Possibly [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], Morgan claims that both his wife and him just moved to "Draynor Village" and are suffering some bad luck so they can't afford to move out because of the vampyre. It's also DownplayedTrope because they clearly can still afford basic living expenses.

* QuestGiver: Of the quest ''Vampyre Slayer''.
* StartingANewLife: Him and wife just moved to "Draynor Village" and they regret it until the end of the quest ''Vampyre Slayer''.

* AccidentalHero: In ''Recipe For Disaster'' he unknowingly saves Duke Horacio from the Culinoromancer by abducting him for one of his games.

A mysterious individual who lives in the sewers of "Draynor Village".

* [[spoiler:AffablyEvil]]: [[spoiler:[[AmbiguouslyEvil How evil he is is currently up to debate]], but for a vampyre that presumably has fed off of other races he's surprisingly friendly and is even willing to let the player use his anvil when asked.]]

* [[spoiler:[[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Friendly Neighborhood Vampyre]]]]: [[spoiler:[[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], as a servant[[note]]Ex-servant if the player completed the quest ''Vampyre Slayer''.[[/note]] of Count Draynor he probably had to do some pretty bad things, but apparently when left to his own devices he doesn't really do much and is even a little friendly when spoken to.]]
* MysteriousPast: Not much is known about Ruantun[[spoiler:, but a dedicated player can discover in "Morytania" that not only that he's a vampyre but that he's also a servant[[note]]Ex-servant if the player completed the quest ''Vampyre Slayer''.[[/note]] of Count Draynor]].
* NotQuiteHuman: Those that meet him can easily tell that he's not human with his odd skin color and slit pupils. [[spoiler:Dedicated players can find out in "Morytania" that he's actually a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampyre]].]]
* [[spoiler:[[OurVampiresAreDifferent Our Vampyres are Different]]]]: [[spoiler:[[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]], InUniverse Ruantun is probably no different than any other vampyre in the setting, however outside of it though he stands out as one of the few vampyres that haven't received a graphic update since ''[[VideoGame/RuneScape RuneScape 2]]''. It's possible though that this was intentionally done to not make his true nature obvious.]]

* [[spoiler:ToServeMan]]: [[spoiler:As a vampyre he undoubtedly drank the blood of people and indeed may still be drinking human blood.]]

Wendy's pet cat, which she turned purple. He was first seen as part of Maggie's caravan south of "Falador" during the 2008 Halloween event, before moving to west of the "Legends' Guild" and finally a little north of "Draynor Village". 'Fraidy cat from the ''[[AlternateUniverse Dimension O]][[AlternateTimeline f Disaster]]'' quest may in fact be his AlternateSelf in that reality based off of the information provided by his examine text.

Maggie's apprentice, she first seen with her caravan south of "Falador" during the 2008 Halloween event, before moving to west of the "Legends' Guild" and finally a little north of "Draynor Village".

Originally called the ''Ghost Town'' in ''[[VideoGame/RuneScape RuneScape Classic]]'', "Edgeville" is a town that exists at the edge of the ''Wilderness'', hence the name. It's a very popular stop for players going into the "Wilderness" or entering "Varrock's Grand Exchange".

Lore wise "Edgeville" historically was known as the town "Paddewwa" and later simply the "Ghost Town"[[note]]Likely a ShoutOut to ''[[VideoGame/RuneScape RuneScape Classic]]''.[[/note]]. In the year of 161 of the Fifth Age a great conflict happened called the ''Edgeville Incident''; back when it was still called the "Ghost Town", the conflicted started when the wizard criminal Solus Dellagar turned on his Zamorakian allies and attacking the "Ghost Town's" few citizens before he was apprehended. It's also relatively new territory in the "Kingdom of Misthalin" having been incorporated in it sometime in the year of 169 of the Fifth Age by King Roald[[note]]It's currently unknown who owned the territory prior, if it's reclaimed territory or if anyone owned it to begin with. This likely mean that it was either purchased from the "Kingdom of Asgarnia", territory claimed from the "Wilderness" or simply a rebuilt settlement.[[/note]] and was given it's current name. Within the same year it was later attacked by three dragonkin and was only rebuilt in the sixth year of the Sixth Age by the World Guardian.

* [[spoiler:DanceOff]]: [[spoiler:Has one with the player in the quest ''Heartstealer'', with the promise of rewarding the player with a drink token if they win. Thankfully she only did this for fun and gives the player the token at the end.]]

Having grown up as an orphan in "Varrock" with no one to care for her a young Caelyn Kadaan was forced to resort to theft in order to survive. Despite this she often used the extra money she gained for [[JustLikeRobinHood philanthropic purposes, giving to others what she couldn't while growing up]]. Overtime though she moved towards far more profitable heists. Her first big heist was stealing the contents with a vault owned by the varrockian nobles of the Despaard family. Interestingly she was caught in the act by the families eldest, Annette Despaard.

One of the God Emissaries of "Gielinor", with himself being the emissary of the god Zamorak. His goal is to convert the people to his religion and spread the word of Zamorak. Players that join him will receive a Banner Of Zamorak, the ''Book Of The Gods'', the title '''[Player Name] Of Zamorak''' and various tasks.

A site of strategic importance to the "Kingdom of Misthalin" in protecting the land from both the denizens of the "Wilderness" and the forces of Zamorak. Several individuals have already been sent by King Roald to try to build and manage a fort in the "Grieving Vale", with no success. But, during the quest ''New Foundations'' the player themselves gets sent to try and builds "Fort Forinthry", which is named after the "Wilderness", which used to be named "Forinthry" before its destruction by Zamorak.

* GeoEffects: "Fort Forinthry's" very nature as a [[ShapedLikeItself fort]] implies that it grants this towards it's inhabitants, especially for those that can fight.
* MysteryFiction: The ''Murder On The Border'' quest is one and it naturally takes place at "Fort Forinthry", with many of the character at the present.
* StandYourGround: More or less the entire purpose of the fort. With "Misthalin" being vulnerable and unable to currently fight another war, the fort is the kingdom's only way to defend itself and well stand its ground.

The player's butler and steward at "Fort Forinthry". They were hired by the player during the quest ''New Foundations'', do to a recommendation to the player by Bill. During the quest ''Murder On The Border'' they help their sister Bianca get the job of kitchen manager and assists the player in solving the murder of Duke Hoarse, and later Simon. Players who speak to Aster can have their royal title changed[[note]]Duke, Duchess, or Dux.[[/note]] and/or spend their rested experience.

* EasyExp: Players can spend their "Rested Experience" for bonus experience in the skill of their choice. "Rested Experience" is gained by simply being logged out of the game and having a Town Hall built in "Fort Forinthry".

Formerly the owner of the "Lumber Yard" before the "Bank Of Varrock" took it away from him, were it was eventually torn down for the construction of "Fort Forinthry" and to improve "King's Road". After his loss of the "Lumber Yard" he was then hired twice as an architect to help build "Fort Forinthry". The first time he was hired the group he was with failed to even setup the fort for unspecified reasons. The second time thought; after being saved by the player and convinced to help, was much more successful as seen in the ''Fort Forinthry Quest Series''.

At "Fort Forinthry" he helps the player by providing guidance on the construction and upgrading of the buildings of the fort. He allows the player to make use of his sawmill and stonecutter for their construction supplies. He also appears in the ''Distractions and Diversions Court Case Sawmill Man V. The People''; which takes place before Bill lost the "Lumber Yard", were his old employee Will brought him to court.

* SpikesOfDoom: He helps the player build these around "Fort Forinthry's" walls facing the "Wilderness", with what's left over from his old sawmill.
* TrueCraftsman: Has shades of this as the architect of "Fort Forinthry" and even back when he was simply known as the Sawmill Operator for the "Lumber Yard".

The beloved pet spaniel of Duke Hoarse. Duke Hoarse brought her with him to the banquet at "Fort Forinthry" during the quest ''Murder On The Border''.

One of the senior wizards of the "Wizards' Tower" and Ariane's former mentor. It's known that even after Ariane was banished from the tower he remained as one of her supporters. [[spoiler:This is because he's also secretly a member of the Sacred Tradition Of The Staff Of Fire; making him a red wizard, and was planning on turning his former student into a magical bomb to destroy the current "Wizards' Tower" to avenge the former red wizards who were banished after the destruction of the first tower. Thankfully though his plan was stopped by the player in the quest ''Rune Memories''.]]

* CoolTeacher: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]] to have more or less been this towards Ariane. [[spoiler:Unfortunately he's later on revealed to be a EvilTeacher that's manipulating into helping him try to destroy the "Wizards' Tower".]]
* [[spoiler:EvilTeacher]]: [[spoiler:See CoolTeacher above.]]
* [[spoiler:FictionalDocument]]: [[spoiler:He's written a [[https://runescape.wiki/w/Diary_(Rune_Memories) diary]], which tells the player of his plot to destroy the "Wizards' Tower". It can be found in the ruins of the first tower.]]

* [[spoiler:WalkingSpoiler]]: [[spoiler:Thanks to the reveal that he's actually the villain of the quests ''Rune Mysteries'' and ''Rune Memories''.]]
* [[spoiler:WhyAmITicking]]: [[spoiler:At the end of the quest ''Rune Memories'' his plan to turn his former student Ariane into a magical bomb by using the soul fragments of the wizards that were inside the old "Wizards' Tower" before it's destruction is turned against him, with himself becoming the bomb. Thankfully before he could blow up the soul fragments teleport him to "The Abyss" where he can safely detonate foiling his plan.]]

The "Kingdom of Misthalin" is one of the great kingdoms of "Gielinor" and is one of if not the most powerful of the human nations. It's also, quite possibly the oldest human nation having existed since the late Fourth Age. Its capital city is "Varrock" and is currently ruled by King Roald Remanis III. Arguably [[LostWorld "Anachronia"]] is also a territory under the control of "Misthalin" despite not being apart of the proper kingdom. Other locations are also stated to exist such as "Lumford", but are at least currently inaccessible due to the SpaceCompression in the game. Despite Roald's kingship there are at least a few unaligned political factions that live within "Misthalin" complete with their own territory, most notably the barbarians of the "Barbarian Village".

Just East of "Varrock" exists the "Archaeology Campus". The campus plays a crucial role in the Archaeology Skill, with it being part of its tutorial. It also possesses the "Mysterious Monolith" [[note]]Also known as "The Codex", a "Elder Artefact".[[/note]] and the screening station. This territory contains the Archaeology Guild, the Dig Site and the Exam Centre.

An expert on the Third Age and since the disappearance of the Guildmaster Anthony B. Robinson the acting Guildmaster of the "Archaeology Guild". As the acting Guildmaster she helped to train new recruits; including the "World Guardian". She plays a small role in the quest ''Heartstealer'', were she is unwittingly used as part of a distraction for the player and Caelyn Kadaan. Lottie is also a member of the Silhouette [[note]]A secret Zarosian organization.[[/note]][[spoiler:, at least until she went rogue due to the danger of Zaros's plans]].

Also known as "Barbarians Tribes", the village is to the West of Varrock and to the South of "Edgeville". It owes its origins to an invasion [[note]]Though due to how the clan leaders gained support by using their people's anti-magic beliefs it's sometimes referred to as a crusade.[[/note]] that took place during years 42-62 of the Fifth Age in which numerous Fremennik clan leaders tried to conquer the mainland. The invasion eventually ended when both their numbers and supplies began to get low. Gunnar; the leader of the invasion force, then established the settlement with the intention of rebuilding the army, but with the "Wizards' Tower" burning down in year 70 they apparently lost their reason to continue. Nearly a 100 years later the descendants of the invaders now live peacefully with their neighbors despite the resurface of magical practices.

The descendants of Gunnar's army and an offshoot of "Fremennik". Most of them when spoken to respond to players with hostility and try to get the player to fight them.

The chieftain of the "Barbarian Village", grandson of Gunnar and father of Gudrun. He plays a major role in the quest ''Gunnar's Ground''. In the quest he has to be convinced that the village is a settlement and not a war camp, as well as allowing his daughter to court an outerlander (Dororan).

The leader of an invasion force from the "Fremennik Province". Under his leadership much of "Asgarnia", "Kandarin" and "Misthalin" were destroyed. Eventually though his forces dwindled and he built a war camp so he can rebuild his forces and eventually launch another attack. However, do to various events he never launched another attack and his war camp eventually became the "Barbarian Village" known today. He is the grandfather of the village's current chieftain, Gunthor and is the great grandfather of Gudrun.

* TheDreaded: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]], it's noted that when his army was at it's weakest no one still wanted to go after him and his army and pretty much just let him make his war camp outside of "Varrock".
* PosthumousCharacter: He died long ago, but his actions continue to influence the people of "Gielinor", most notably in the quest ''Gunnar's Ground''.

A Barbarian explorer and the brother of Litara. He went down in the ''Stronghold Of Security'' after hearing from a miner; who previously fell in, speak of treasure, he hasn't been seen since. [[spoiler:It's subtlety implies that he's the "dead explorer" that can be found upon first entering the ''Stronghold Of Security''.]]

* [[spoiler:FictionalDocument]]: [[spoiler:If he's the "dead explorer" first found when entering the ''Stronghold Of Security'', then he's the author of the "[[https://runescape.wiki/w/Stronghold_notes Stronghold Notes]]", which can be found by searching his corpse.]]
* [[spoiler:PosthumousCharacter]]: [[spoiler:If he's the "dead explorer" first found when entering the ''Stronghold Of Security'', he's this by default.]]
* [[spoiler:ShoutOut]]: [[spoiler:If he's the "dead explorer" first found when entering the ''Stronghold Of Security'', he's one to [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] wearing what appears to be his hat. His examine text also might be a reference to his game ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast''.]]

A haunted mansion owned by Count Draynor just north of "Draynor Village". It was found by Count Draynor sometime around the Third Age. Though arguably a part of "Draynor Village" it's massive size, distance from the village and the fact it may actually predate the village leads it to being treated as a separate territory.

* HauntedHouse: All the characters can be found on or near the "Draynor Manor" property.

Animated chairs that exist within "Draynor Manor", not much is know about them.

The fiancée of Veronica. Ernest and his fiancée were making their way to "Falador" to get married, but got lost before they could get there. Finding themselves outside "Draynor Manor" Ernest went in to ask for directions. Upon entering he met Professor Oddenstein who [[ForcedTransformation turned him into a chicken]] with his new invention the pouletmorph machine. Thankfully though he turned back at the conclusion of the ''Ernest the Chicken'' quest. Later on he files a case against Professor Oddenstein for turning him into a chicken, which can be seen in the ''Distractions and Diversions Court Cases''.

A witch that lives in "Draynor Manor" and the owner of Maemi. She apparently used to shove children into ovens, but has since went to anger management class. She also knows how to make magnets, which are required in the ''Animal Magnetism'' quest.

A unusual type of undead found around "Draynor Manor". They cannot be cutdown or harmed with regular hatchets like regular trees, instead a Blessed Hatchet and a level 18 in the Slayer skill is needed[[note]]Though cutting one down would still grant some Woodcutting experience.[[/note]]. They play a role in the ''Animal Magnetism'' quest, were their twigs are used to help make [[https://runescape.wiki/w/Ava%27s_attractor Ava's Attractor]]. They may be the result of the magical properties in their soil, but since this information came from a witch in a removed quest [[note]]The ''[[https://runescape.wiki/w/Black_Knights%27_Fortress_(quest) Black Knights' Fortress]]'' [[https://runescape.wiki/w/Black_Knights%27_Fortress_(quest) quest]].[[/note]] the canonicalness of the information is now in doubt.

* {{Expy}}: She appears to be one of TitleCharacter of ''WesternAnimation/CarmenSandiego''.
