The beacon network.

The Beacon Network is a series of 14 beacons along the Wilderness and Morytania borders to warn of possible threats to the kingdoms of Asgarnia and Misthalin.


Introduction

King Roald III ordered the creation of the network of beacons from the Salve all the way west, along the Wilderness Ditch and north to the edge of the Wilderness. Each beacon can burn 20 logs at a time, and can be refreshed with an additional 5 logs (all of the same type).

In times of peace, testing can be done with any log and the fire burns its natural color. In times of danger the Beacon Keepers have Gnomish firelighters to color the fires different colors to indicate different threats. At this time the specific colors are not known.

Beacon-unlit

An unlit beacon.

Players testing the beacons are rewarded for their efforts. See All Fired Up and All Fired Up (minigame) for details on play and rewards.

The beacons

A beacon is indicated by the Fired Up Beacon icon (File:Beacon minimap.png) on the world map and minimap. Firemaking levels 43-92 are required to light the beacons.

Warning! Some beacons are in the Wilderness and players should consider taking precautions in case Revenants attack.

Trivia

  • The beacon network is a possible reference to the Great Wall of China because the guard towers on the wall were used similarly, aiding in relaying messages over long distances relatively quickly.
