Wilderness North Volcano

The North Wilderness Volcano, (marked as 'Volcano' on the map) is a small volcanic outcrop in the members-only section of the Wilderness. Nothing is known about it, as it is not involved in any quests, and currently no NPCs mention anything about it. While walking around it, the ground will shake periodically - probably because of heavy volcanic activity. There is a rope bridge that spans the central pool of lava that can be crossed. Like near the Chaos Temple, balls of fire shoot out of the pools of lava. If one hits a player, it can inflict minor damage.

The volcano can be used to flee from the powerful Chaos elemental that resides nearby to the west of the Rogues' Castle. Apart from this, the volcano has virtually no use except from being a sinister piece of scenery well suited to the hostile landscape of the Wilderness.

The north-west side of the volcano has a broken ship; however, it has no use other than for scenery. Next to the ship is an extension of the land, eight squares of which reach into level 56 wilderness - the deepest anyone can go.

Sometimes, players will have to go to this volcano to complete their Elite Treasure trails, as it is possible that their next clue or reward is in the area.

Trivia

 * The ship's material is somewhat strange. It has a wooden grain, but a slightly metallic colour. This is likely due to weathering.
 * The bridge at the top of the volcano is strange, since the constant lava splashes would have burnt and destroyed it since it is made of wood.
 * There appears to be a strange cannon on the ship [possibly dwarven].
 * The very large number of skeletons on the volcano, particularly around the ship, seem to indicate that the ship's crew was either thrown from the ship during the crash and subsequently died from their injuries, or else that the crew attempted to flee and was then killed by lava or Pkers. It is unknown how long the ship has been here--perhaps it was sailing before the Wilderness was a wasteland.
 * The volcano and the islands around it seem to form Zaros's symbol.
