Ardougne is the Flagship city for the Kingdom of Kandarin. The current Ruler is King Lanthas. Highlight for Quest Spoilers.The kingdom has recently been troubled by worries of an attack from the Elven Lands of Isafdar, however recent undercover missions have discovered a different plot. Mourners are not what they may seem to be, the Underground Pass serves as more than just a travel route, and the City of Camelot may not see another year in the sunshine if a worthy adventurer does not step in quickly. Newcomers to the City may notice that it is divided in to two sections, East and West Ardougne. The Eastern sector thrives with the bustle and trade that comes naturally with two banks, Runescape's largest marketplace, and the only zoo in the world. The Western sector, on the other hand, has been ravaged by a plague. Those who enter do not return, and mourners have taken command to prevent the outbreak from spreading. Vermin run freely, and as the plague spreads, more doors begin to bear the black X marking them as plague infected houses. Maybe a worthy adventurer can help...
Ardougne is nested - if you can say so for a city so big - in the Arandar Mountains. For those who can survive the trip through the Underground Pass, the beatiful, but deceivingly trap riddled Elven Forest of Isafdar can be found to the West. Completing the Regicide quest will allow you to use the Arandar Pass, the gate to which can be found to the North of the city, and West, at the base of the mountains. Those looking to travel to a safer destination, will find the road to Seers Village leading out of the Northern part of the city. The small, Sea Slug infested village of Witchaven is just East of the Southern docks. Wandering South will bring you to the Tower of Life, and shortly after Port Khazard. Crossing the plains to the North will bring you shortly to the Fishing Guild. The road to Seers Village boasts Hemenster, location of the famous Fishing Contest, and the Rangers Guild, along with one of Four farming allotments in the game.
Ardougne itself takes long enough to explore, so once your done with the surrounding areas you can start the daunting task of familiarizing yourself with the city and its various (but sometimes not so obvious) resources. The city has Two banks, which are not only usefull for banking, but also are key hubs for players doing one of the many quests which starts, or at some point takes place inside the city. The famous Ardougne Zoo attracts not only sightseers, but rangers and mages as well. The cages make for a place to train these skills with noteable ease and safety. The zoo can also be explored in monkey form by those who complete the Monkey Madness Quest, and Penguin Form for those who complete the Cold War quest, but dont let the zookeepers catch you or you might find yourself in the cage right alongside those you tried to imitate! basic resources of the city include its furnace, farming plot, banks, marketplace (good for theiving), the Legends Guild to the East, the docks to the south, the rather pointless postal service. Homebuilders can find the offices to hire a servant just North of the marketplace.
Ardougne is a massive city, and ranks high on our scale. For your enjoyment, here's a picture of the Zoo.
