Plague's End

Plague's End is the final quest of the elf series, but not necessarily the final elf-related quest. It will be a grandmaster quest and will at least require completion of Within the Light. It will be released prior to Prifddinas, and one of its rewards include access to the city. It used to be the top contender for the 200th quest to be released, but the release of the first dragonstone Power to the Players changed this. One of the quest design's aims was to create a very long quest. Mod Osborne later stated that he would imagine it to to take at least as long as Ritual of the Mahjarrat.

After the release of the poll on 13 January 2014 Mod Osborne's Q&A took place, giving more information about the quest. It was revealed that the quest would be released after the release of the first parts of Prifddinas with other story content explaining how the city was re-chanted from its seed form, although this later changed to completion of the quest being required for the entirety of Prifddinas due to player feedback. It was also confirmed that Seren would not be involved in the quest and would receive separate content at an unspecified later date. Prifddinas and the accompanying quest eventually won the poll, beating the Inventor skill by 14,661 votes. The Dark Lord, the Iorwerth Clan, King Lathas and the Plague of West Ardougne are to be dealt with in the quest. Mod John A has confirmed that the quest will contain a light puzzle.

In a similar way to Birthright of the Dwarves, the quest's lead developer - Mod John A - was gathering ideas for the quest on the forums throughout February and March. He also requested suggestions for rewards for the quest, and a ruby Power to the Players poll released in early April established that a new reward would be made for the quest which is not a crystal halberd, magic staff or thrown weapon.

Trivia

 * In the official RuneScape video "Spend your Summer with RuneScape", released on 28 May 2014, the quest title "Plague's End" was first mentioned. It had usually been referred to as "Mourning's Ends Part III" before. According to Mod John A, the title was chosen to reference the first quest in the series, Plague City.
