Deep Wilderness Castle Ruins

The Deep Wilderness Castle Ruins
The Deep Wilderness Castle Ruins is the remains of a mysterious ancient fortress. Since it is not currently involved in any quests, nothing is known about it and it's history is shrouded in mystery. It is available to both free players and members.

The Ruins
The castle was probably involved with the God Wars, as there would have not been much other reason for building a castle deep in the Wilderness. It looks like most of the land where the rest of the castle once stood has been eroded, as ruined open-ended walls lead off into the sea. Judging by what is left, the castle might have once been quite large because of the thickness of it's walls. Players exploring it will notice that the castle would have had two walls - a thin outer wall and a thick inner wall; probably protecting a keep that would have been lost when the rest of the land eroded. It is very close to the site of the Zarosian fortress of Annakarl (know known as the Demonic Ruins), and the two fortresses may have been linked in some way. Alternatively, it could be the remains of a lost God Wars-era fortress yet to be uncovered - much like the fortress of Ghorrock was believed to have been destroyed until the release of The Temple at Senntisten quest in December 2009. At the current time, nothing can be proved about it's history or use.

Attractions
Both free players and members can access the ruin by walking east of the Demonic ruins. Players may want to explore the ruin in the interests of the following:


 * Edward the cape merchant can be found here - he sells team capes 5, 15, 25, 35 and 45 for 50 coins each.
 * There is a weak portal to the spirit realm in the fortress for members who have completed the Summer's End quest. Using this portal gives 5,000 smithing experience the first time this particular portal is used.
 * The Deep Wilderness Castle Ruins is recognised as being relatively safe from revenants - revenants are extrememly rare within the ruins, and a few Wilderness clans even use the ruin as a base.
