The Upcoming Quest

[BMPar21]

i remember from before the forums were destroyed there was a disscussion of this and i thought to bring it back. i know there was more hints and info but this is all i can remember where it is, so if you find it please copy and paste it here.


"There will be few smiles in our last thriller update, Defender of Varrock. Deep in the Wilderness, braindead hordes will form into ranks, in a manner that the evil dead rarely do. Such an occurrence will need to be investigated, of course, and the identities of those behind it will have to be revealed. The question is, can you turn the zombie tide before Varrock becomes a shambling land of the dead? Reading the Legend of Arrav lores and histories may well help you out in this particular quest...

It's not all war, zombies and soul-eating this month: there are laughs to be had in the Postbag from the Hedge, with some pictures that are far more handsome than a zombie's ugly mug in our Players' Gallery and wallpaper release."

p.s. i got bored this morning and read the Legend of Arrav and i think that he will be in someone you have to fight in the quest

This is the sort of thing that belongs more in the "Runescape Chat" board.

The Defender of Varrock quest has yet to come out, but your theory about the Legend of Arrav tying in to the big quest is plausible. I could see it happening. From what they're saying, it sounds like the quest is going to tie up some loose ends in the Varrock story lines.

i suspect this cause Arrav died after being told that he would be reborn and destroy Avarrocka(Varrock) with Zemouregal and his army of the undead

[undefeat]

Captain Rovin is eager to recruit a bold adventurer for a scouting mission to the Wilderness. There's talk among the Varrock Guard of suspicious zombie behaviour and sightings of well-armoured zombies standing in organised formations. This isn't normal behaviour for zombies - they're much more likely to wander around aimlessly when left to their own devices. Could someone be controlling them?
There are tales of evil beings leading zombie armies in the past, and when they have, the city of Varrock has come under great peril, only standing firm through the brave resolve of the people and heroes of the city. This could become much more than a simple scouting mission.

"It’s a long time since I’ve written a quest and I’ve been working on this for a while now, so I’m excited about this update.

"I’ve created lots of back-story about RuneScape over the years so it’s good to have the opportunity to reveal more of it through my own quests. You may have noticed that the Legend of Arrav has some loose ends and I felt it was time to address those. I’ve tried hard to create a quest with some interesting puzzles and an exciting storyline. I hope you enjoy it."
