Burthorpe (historical)

Burthorpe is a town northwest of Falador. It is available to members only. It is the only area of Asgarnia that is not controlled by the white knights, because of the rebels willing to take Falador over. It is also one of the places snow imps can be found during the 2007 Christmas event.

Entrances
Burthorpe can be entered either from Taverley to the south, through the use of a games necklace or from the northeastern area of Death Plateau.

Notable Features

Trivia
Speaking to any member of the Imperial Guard except for major NPCs, (basically any Soldier you can attack), results in "jargon". They are really speaking Latin. Translations as they come in below.

One of the guards will say the famous Latin phrase "Cogito ergo sum", meaning I think, therefore I am.
