Elf quest series

The Plague quest series is a series of quests centring around the outbreak of a plague in West Ardougne and venturing through the elven kingdom of Tirannwn.

Plague City
Ardougne is split into two parts: a wealthy part known as East Ardougne under the rule of King Lathas and a poor part known as West Ardougne, ruled by King Tyras. In West Ardougne a terrible plague has struck, leaving Lathas no other choice as to build a wall around it to protect East Ardougne. The city is further protected by Mourners. Elena is one of the few people caring about the people of West Ardougne, but she has gone missing. Her father, Edmond, asks you to enter the city to find her. After making a Gas mask so you don't get infected by the plague, you dig a tunnel into the city. After showing a picture to Jethick, you find out Elena is in a house which is struck hard with the plague and the mourners won't let you in. Luckily for you, Bravek has the same authority as the Head Mourner. After giving him a hangover cure, he allows you to get into the building allowing you to save Elena.

Biohazard
The sequel of Plague City. Back in East Ardougne, Elena tells you she had good samples of the plague, but the Mourners took her Distillator from her. You have to sneak back in with the help of Jerico, a pigeon-owner. Use some pigeons to distract the Mourners in the Watchtower while you sneak in the city. You need to get in the Mourners Headquarters. After adding a rotten apple to their food they all fall ill and will require a doctor. After infiltrating the headquarters disguised as a doctor, you kill a mourner to get the key for Elena's Distillator. Back in East Ardougne, Elena's tests give strange results. She wants you to take a sample to Guidor in the fenced area behind the Zamorak Temple in Varrock, so that he can get better results in the tests. Your samples have to be smuggled in by three people near the Rimmington Chemist: Da Vinci, Hops and Chancy. Disguise yourself as a priest so that Guidor's wife will let you get to Guidor and you find out there is no plague. Elena will suggest you to talk with King Lathas.

Underground Pass
King Lathas admits he has made up the plague to protect his people from Iban, who claims to be the son of Zamorak. He has taken residence in the Underground Pass. You will have to kill him. The Pass is in the mountains to the west of Ardougne. Koftik leads you through. It contains a lot of traps and puzzles: a swamp, a bridge held up with ropes, a ropeswing, a grid, wall and floortraps, glowing orbs and a well, goblin cages, agility ledges, an unicorn and some paladins. The end of the dungeon is a big hall with the temple of Iban in the middle. The only way to get there is by using narrow stone paths. At the bottom floor is a small dwarf village. Iban is revived by the witch Kardia, who is also in this place. You can only kill him with a Doll of Iban. Add his shadow, body, blood and spirit, and finish him off by throwing the doll in the Well of Voyage.

Regicide
King Lathas will send you a message when the Well of Voyage is repaired and can be used again. Now the Underground Pass can be used again as a passage between Ardougne and Tirannwn, the land of the Elves. You must go there to find and kill King Tyras, the brother of Lathas. You are greeted by Idris and sent to Lord Iorwerth. Track your way to Tyras Camp and defeat the guard that will try to stop you there. Iowerth gives you the Big Book O' Bangs, with which you are going to learn how to make an explosive to blow up the camp with a Barrel bomb made of a Barrel of naphtha (distillated coal-tar), ground sulphur, a pot of quicklime and some cloth. Distract the Catapult Guard and kill Tyras. Iowerth will give you a letter for Lathas. Before you deliver it, Arianwyn will appear to you at Ardougne Castle and will open the letter, through which you will find out you were used by King Lathas for his own plans. Apparently, he has joined Lord Iowerth in an attempt to resurrect the "Dark Lord" (unknown, theorised Zamorak) and had you kill his brother, Tyras, who was in fact the good guy.

Mourning's End Part I
Eluned asks you to help the rebel elf cause. This leads you to Arianwyn who wants you to go undercover to the Mourner's Headquarters as a mourner, as they are actually elves. After dyeing some sheep and keeping the facades of the plague alive, you have gained their trust for future assignments.

Mourning's End Part II
A patrol that went to some caverns under West Ardougne has gone missing. The mourners want you to investigate. They were killed by shadows in the Temple of Light. Arianwyn asks you to repair the safeguard that has been broken. You spend quite a while rotating mirrors to access the Death altar. Once inside, you repair the damaged crystal and the quest is done.

Other Quests
These quests are not related with the main Plague series, but are either necessary to progress through the series or involve elves and the elven area. They are often mistaken to be part of the Plague series.


 * Sheep Herder
 * Catapult Construction
 * Waterfall Quest
 * Big Chompy Bird Hunting

Roving Elves
There is some debate over whether this quest is really part of the Plague City storyline. Although Jagex states this quest is a sequel to Waterfall Quest, and although it does not directly advance the main storyline, it does encompass several elements from it. The quest centres around your character attempting to gain the trust of the elf Islywn and rectifying the inadvertant damage the player did to Glarial's resting place in the Waterfall Quest. It also introduces several new characters that will likely play large roles in the future quests in the series.

Future Quests
In Postbag from the Hedge 41, the Chaos Elemental left a "suitcase" with future update hints inside. One of them was a sheet of paper titled "Boxes" written and underlined in blue with the layout of the ground floor of the Temple of Light. Many took this to mean that a sequel to Mourning's End Part II was in the "blue box stage" of development. This means that the quest writing has been started, however the graphics for the characters and new objects have not yet been developed. When testing the written portion of the quest, all unfinished graphics are replaced with blue boxes, officially referred to as "placeholder graphics". Later this was confirmed on the forums by Mod Osborne, as seen to the right.

On 19-Aug-2009 Dylan C, the creator of the Plague and Waterfall series, announced his return to Jagex at the official forums.
