East Ardougne

Introduction
East Ardougne is part capital of the Kingdom of Kandarin. It is in the members area of Gielnor and is likely to be the wealthiest city in Runescape. It's neighbouring city, West Ardougne, governed by King Tyras, is closed off to the general public because of a plague affecting the inhabitants, but players may gain access by finishing parts of the Plague City quest. East Ardougne is most known for its wealth, zoo and the thief-stricken marketplace. East Ardougne is currently governed by King Lathas.

History
The Battle of Ardougne started with the warlord and Mahjarrat, Hazeel coming back from rebelling against Zaros and becoming the warlord and leader of most of Kandarin and the Ardougne area. He stayed as leader of the area until later when he was challenged and fought by Sir Ceril Carnillean's far ancestor. He was then though defeated and slain by the ancestor. This ancestor later built his mansion over Hazeel's grave in East Ardougne. After all this the city grew and became a very wealthy city in Gielinor. Millennia later players can side with Hazeel and resurrect him in the Hazeel Cult quest or they can also help the Carnilleans and fight against them (You can't fight any of them in the quest except a level 13). This is about all that is known about the history of the city of Ardougne and the Kingdom of Kandarin. Other things that happened in the overall city of Ardougne was when the plague struck West Ardougne. It is said to have come from when King Tyras last visited his city, before he left again to go back to explore the elf lands of Tirranwn.
