Battle of Lumbridge

The Battle of Lumbridge is an event that will be taking place alongside the beginning of the Sixth Age and the dawn of RuneScape 3. It will feature weekly choices made by the players which will define its outcome and course of action. Little is known of it, but it was stated by Jagex as having an "ultimate outcome [which] will set the course for RuneScape’s future."

Two weeks before the battle, a large portal appeared west of Lumbridge Castle and south of the H.A.M. Hideout, although it is not known what role this mysterious portal will play in the battle's transgression.

As of 11th July the portal has increased in size and several other NPC's have been added to the scene. The original NPC's dialogue has also altered slightly to reflect the change to the portal.

Trivia

 * In The Book of the Godless, it is mentioned that Kara-Meir (the main character of Betrayal at Falador) is going to Lumbridge following a strange portal. It could be a reference to the portal seen in the RuneScape 3 video.
 * A similar, if not the same portal, can be seen on the home page banner for the countdown to RuneScape 3.
