2011 Easter event

The 2011 Easter event, officially named Holly and Hawthorn, was released on 19 April, 2011.

Holly
Start by talking to the Queen of Sunrise. Begin the Quest and you'll be asked to chop down an Evil holly tree. Afterwards, find some samplings and nourish them. Then, after the evil tree grows, cut it down. Don't forget to cut roots and set the tree on fire using Easter evil tree kindlings gained from the roots. You'll need many players and some time to cut it down. You can also join a group in the middle of work. After the tree is cut down, search it. You'll find a Year that you must bring to the Queen.

Unfortunely, she'll discover that the Year isn't working. It isn't the true Year. She asks you to find the true Year and to ask the sky, the ground and the water. You must talk to:


 * River spirit - over the river in the southeast corner
 * Stone spirit - climb up the rock in the northeast corner
 * Cloud spirit - climb up two times in the northwest corner

Ask each of the spirits when to find the Year and you'll get 3 keys. Go to the southwest corner and use the rock key on the rock where the river ends. Enter the cave. There's a pool in the middle; use water key on it. Climb down the ladder and go to the next cave. Use the air key on the steam. You'll get moved to the last cave where the Queen of Snow resides. Talk to her. She'll give you the key only if you make a sculpture that'll show her how beautiful the Spring is. Any sculpture will work.

Talk to the Queen of Snow again, then return the Year to the Queen of Sunrise. After a short cutscene, you'll be able to claim your reward.



Trivia

 * When attempting to modify the ice sculpture any further, the text would say "The statue is perfect. To modify it further would be a crime against art."
 * After helping the Queen of Snow the Adventurer's Log will read:"I took part in the ritual battle between the Queens of Snow and Sunrise by cutting down an evil hawthorn tree for the Queen of Snow."
 * And after completing the whole event the Adventurer's Log will read:"I helped the Queen of Snow hand control of the Year to the Queen of Sunrise, so that spring could come to RuneScape."
 * Theres a glitch where you can click a fallen tree to get some beams for you Icicle Crown or Sunbeam Crown.This Glitch has not been fixed yet.
 * There's a glitch where the big rock blocking the cave entrace will remain gone if an other player removes it while you are close to it. However, it will return if you leave and return later.
