King Vallance

King Vallance is the official ruler of Asgarnia and the father of Crown Prince Anlaf. He is not seen in-game, but it is likely that he may be involved in a future quest.

History
When the previous king and his father, Raddallin, died mysteriously, Vallance inherited a kingdom with two major political rivals; the Black Knights and the White Knights. During his reign, Falador saw the continued prosperity that the previous king had established. However, when he grew old and ill, central authority began to weaken and the once controlled political rivalry between both parties turned for the worst when the White Knights gained political supremacy and declared that the Kinshra no longer has power in Asgarnia. This lead to a cold war and subsequently, an invasion by the Black Knights which climaxed in the Siege of Falador in the year 164. Although the invasion failed, political tensions remain till this very day, with both sides plotting in their fortresses to end the other once and for all.

Since then, He has not been seen for many years in public. Sir Vyvin claims that the White Knights are helping Vallance rule because he is getting "old and tired." Sir Amik Varze, the current leader of the White Knights, rules in his place.

However, if the player talks to Denulth in Burthope after completing Troll Stronghold, he will tell the player that the White Knights took control of the 'old and weak king', which refers to King Vallance. This gave rise to suspicions and theories, one of them being the White Knights not telling the complete truth, and may have murdered or imprisoned him in order to gain full control of Falador.
