Unknown

The Unknown is supposedly all of the dark areas in Gielinor where players can neither travel nor see. These areas are not connected to the world map and close the areas on the map. For example, there is no map area north of the Wilderness or south of the Kharidian Desert and the vast endlessness of these areas are displayed as black spots on the World Map. It is theory by some people that the world of RuneScape is round like the Earth and all of the planets and that these black spots merely indicate one part of the map meeting the other. For example, the small ocean north of the Wilderness would connect to the waters south of Ape Atoll.

It is also believed that these Black squares represent possible furure installments. Writing will appear on it if something is to be created in it.
