Falador

Falador (colloquially Fally) is the capital of Asgarnia and is a very crowded city. It plays a key role in the ore trade. Falador is a popular trading spot for members on server 2.

Entrances
Falador can be entered through the north gate from Barbarian Village, from the underground Dwarven Mine, through the south gate from Port Sarim, or by Falador Teleport, a level 37 magic spell. Members can enter from the west by using an agility shortcut, or by using a grapple to climb over the wall north of east bank, or go under a hole at the south wall

Notable persons
The official ruler of Asgarnia is King Vallence, but he has recently retired from public life and no one has seen him for many years. Now Sir Amik Varze rules in his stead.

Sir Amik Varze is the leader of the White Knights, and working with the Temple Knights. He is also the starting point for Recruitment Drive and Black Knights' Fortress.

Banks
Falador has two banks, an east bank southwest of the north gate and a west bank north of the south gate. They are very large buildings and are easy to spot. They are great places to buy and sell items as many players tend to congregate at the two banks.

East bank
The east bank is in a great spot for mining. It is only a few feet from the Mining Guild, making it useful for players mining in the guild to deposit their ores, mine more, and repeat. Many players often come to this bank to show off their clothing. In a free player trading world, this bank is used mostly to buy ores, bars, and mining and smithing equipment. In member trading worlds, it is very crowded and used to buy a wide variety of items from any armour and weapons to items used in skill training.

West bank
The west bank is in a great spot for smelting ores. The furnace is only a few feet away from the bank, making it quick to smelt ores, bank them, and repeat. Many players use this bank to use the "Coal Flipping" strategy.

Falador general store
Falador's general store is fairly popular, though mainly consists of low level items sold by other players. It is the first building on the west side when entering through the north gate. The first floor of the general store contains the shop keeper and the shop assistant. Players can climb ladders to the top of the building on the fourth story and look at almost the entire city. Players can often find crafting items, woodcutting items, and smithing and mining items at this general store.

Flynn's Mace Market
Flynn owns a small building on the west side of the general store. Here, players can purchase bronze maces, iron maces, steel maces, mithril maces, and adamant maces. Steel maces and mithril maces are often high in stock.

Cassie's Shield Shop
The first east building a player will see when entering through the north gate is Cassie's two story shop. It is the only shield shop in RuneScape, but has a very limited stock. Cassie can be found on the first floor offering wooden shields, bronze square shields, bronze kiteshields, iron square shields, iron kiteshields, steel square shields, steel kiteshields, and mithril square shields. However, she is often out of stock of mithril square shields. On the second floor of her shop is a room where a cooked chicken respawns.

Herquin's Gems
In a small building south of the west bank is Herquin and his gem store. Players can purchase uncut sapphires, uncut emeralds, uncut rubies, uncut diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and diamonds from him. However, the gems do not restock, meaning players have to sell their gems to him, which rarely happens. Because of this, players are rarely in Herquin's store. For rangers, in the southwest corner of Herquin's store spawns 2 bronze arrows, which are rarely taken.

Wayne's Chains!
In the far southern part of the city is Wayne and his chainmail store. Players can purchase bronze chainbodies, iron chainbodies, steel chainbodies, black chainbodies, mithril chainbodies, and adamant chainbodies. He sometimes has the higher metal chains in stock, though not always.

Hairdresser
North of the west bank is the hairdresser. Males have to pay 1,000 coins to have their hair or beard changed, while females have to pay 2,000 coins for their hair to be changed. Females cannot have a beard.

Rising Sun Tavern
Falador contains one bar, the Rising Sun Tavern. Here, players can purchase asgarnian ales, wizard's mind bombs, and dwarven stouts. Each beer costs 3 coins, while empty glasses can be returned for 2 coins. The bar is often vacant, though some players come here to talk or to get away from the hustle and bustle of RuneScape.

Park

 * See main article Falador park

Falador has its own park north of the east bank. The garden is home to moles and is also a key part in the Pirate's Treasure quest, as well as Sir Tiffy Cashien. The house in the east part of the garden contains a spade that slowly respawns when taken. Wyson the gardener, who can be found walking around the park, will sell one woad leaf to a player for 15 coins or 2 for 20 coins.

RuneScape 2 World 111 Glitch
On 06/06/06, a glitch in World 111 occured : after expelling his guests during a party in a house, a member unwillingly caused a great glitch. People were given the power to attack anybody, anytime. Falador was one of the first cities in the world of RuneScape where people were randomly killed. For further informations, check World 111 Glitch article.

RuneScape Riots
Falador is home to many riots and protests whenever problems arise.

On 1/2/7, after an update to Rule 7, people gathered in world 27, in Falador, and began to shout 'save ss' (swiftswitch) in order to make Jagex reverse the resolution.

On 3/28/07, many people (mostly lurers) protested about the rule 2 update, which made luring a reportable offence. On the forums, there were many protests about luring. Forum mods locked many threads as spam.
