Introduction
When I first started writing this document more than nine
months ago, I never imagined that it would turn out to take
this much time and be this long. Countless hours of
researching, thinking, and writing went into making this
behemoth, but I really did have a lot of fun doing it.
The purpose of Plane Shift: Gielinor is to provide a
comprehensive resource for creating games of 5th edition that
are set on Gielinor, the world from the video game RuneScape.
This document contains basic information about the setting,
including the world, its history, and its gods, and statistics for
numerous playable races, items, and monsters. Prior to
writing this document, there were a few small resources that
had been shared by a handful of GM's, but none of this scale,
at least to my knowledge. As a clarification, this document
does not detail an original tabletop roleplaying game system
based on RuneScape, but rather contains information useful
for playing a game of 5th edition, with all of its standard rules,
that takes place within the setting of Gielinor. It is neither a
campaign module. I believe enough information exists on the
RuneScape Wiki and other places that such a document
would be moot.
In order to create what I believe to be both more logical and
more interesting content, I have taken certain creative liberties
in designing much of what is in this document, so not
everything here is an exact copy of what is in RuneScape.
Some races, monsters, and items have features that are
significantly different or missing from the video game.
It is important to keep in mind that I am by no means an
expert when it comes to 5th edition content creation, nor am I
an expert on Gielinor's lore. Most of the statistics in this
document have seen little, if any, playtesting. As with any
homebrew, I encourage you to to examine what you find
carefully and feel free to adapt it to best suit your campaign,
players, and personal liking.
I have a couple of people to whom I owe a huge debt of
gratitude for my ability to complete this massive project.
Firstly, I'd like to thank all the people at Jagex who took part in
creating the wonderful world of Gielinor. Your creativity
inspired me to take great interest in RuneScape's world. I'd
like to thank the incredible editors of the RuneScape Wiki.
Without this amazing resource, none of this would have been
possible. I'd also like to thank my brother who first introduced
me to RuneScape when we were kids. Nolen, I miss you
dearly. My friend Unknown helped me out a few times with
refining and coming up with ideas, so I'm thankful for them as
well. Finally, I'd like to thank my wonderful significant other,
whom I love greatly, for supporting me all the way. You are
what makes life worth living.
I really appreciate the time and effort you've taken to read
this document and use its contents! I hope that with the help of
other GM's and players, I can receive feedback on its contents
and make lots of improvements and adjustments. If you want
to discuss this document, share your content, or discuss the
creations of other Gielinorian GM's and players, please join us
in the RuneScape DnD Discord server or the RuneScapeDnD
Subreddit!
If you have feedback, questions, or would like to discuss this
document with me directly, you can reach me on Reddit at
u/DragonZaid or on Discord at DragonZaid.

The Gods
A great number of gods exist within Gielinor and its universe.
They are very diverse in appearance, ideology, and power.

The Elder Gods

The Elder Gods are a group of six ancient gods responsible for
the creation of the universe. Little is known of these gods,
except that they created Gielinor and left behind a handful of
tools called Elder God Artifacts. The most infamous of these
artifacts is the Stone of Jas, which was largely responsible for
the God Wars and many of Gielinor's other major conflicts due
to its ability to provide immeasurable power and ascend
mortals to godhood. Another well known artifact is called the
Siphon, better known as the Staff of Armadyl.

Guthix
Guthix is a god associated with balance and nature. He was
once a mortal creature of the little-known Naragi race before
he ascended by slaying a god that killed his daughter. His
philosophies are that there must be balance in all things—good
and evil, order and chaos, darkness and light, war and peace.
He also believes that Gielinor and its people are better off
without the gods. He frequently told many of his followers that
they shouldn't worship him, and instead only learn from his
teachings and forget about him. Most of them, however,
continued to worship him regardless. Most Druids, Gnomes,
and Fairies are followers of Guthix, as well as a smaller
fraction of individuals of many other races. Guthix's
iconography consists of green colors and a tear drop symbol.

I am beyond good or evil, I am simply Guthix.

outside.

Zamorak
Zamorak is a Mahjarrat god associated with chaos and
destruction. He was one of the most prominent figures of the
God Wars, having set them off at the end of the Second Age
with the defeat of his former master, Zaros, which ascended
him to godhood. He also inadvertently ended the wars at the
end of the Third Age with the destruction of Forinthry.
Zamorak's philosophies preach that the strong must not be
hindered by the weak, and it is only through chaos and
adversity that one can improve. Zamorak and Saradomin are
archenemies, with the latter's followers typically believing the
former's to be purely evil. People who openly worship
Zamorak are often outcast or banished from predominantly
Saradominist establishments. Zamorak's followers include a
small number of individuals of all races, as well as many
demons, Vampyres, Werewovles, and the Kinshra. His
iconography consists of red colors and a symbol shaped like a
pair of horns.

Saradomin
Saradomin is a Human god associated with order, wisdom,
and light. He is the most widely worshiped god on Gielinor,
especially within the Human kingdoms. Most predominantly
Human settlements will have a church, temple, or shrine
dedicated to him. His philosophies state that it is wisdom and
devotion to him that will cause one to prevail above all else.
His followers often view him as infallibly good, though in
reality he has done a few cruel things in the name of peace
that he later came to regret. Saradomin's archenemy is
Zamorak, and his followers will often banish or ostracize those
who worship Zamorak from their cities and villages.
Saradomin's followers consist of celestial creatures like Icyene
and unicorns, most of Gielinor's Humans, and a smaller
portion of many other humanoid races. His iconography
consists of blue, white, yellow, and silver colors and a four-
pointed star symbol. He is depicted in many statues and other
art as a bald, elderly man with a a white beard wearing long
robes.

 The Menaphite Pantheon
The Menaphite Pantheon is a group of eight deities worshiped
primarily in the Kharidian Desert region. Many of these gods
and their followers warred with the Zarosian Empire during
the Second Age. Out of the eight, Tumeken and Elidinis were
the only ones considered to be powerful enough by Guthix to
be banished from Gielinor at the end of the Third Age.

Tumeken
Tumeken, god of light, is the leader of the pantheon and the
most powerful of the Menaphite gods. He created many of the
other desert gods and, during a key battle between the
Zarosians and the Kharidians, sacrificed himself in a last
stand in order to destroy most of the Zarosian forces. The
process is believed to have destroyed him, leaving behind only
a large diamond called the Kharid-ib. This diamond ended up
in the possession of the royal family of Al Kharid. Tumeken is
worshipped by people all throughout the Kharidian Desert.
His iconography includes a symbol in the shape of a shining
sun and yellow and gray colors.

Elidinis
Elidinis is Tumeken's wife and the goddess of fertility. The
River Elid in the Kharidian Desert is named after her, and she
is said to be "the water that gives life and soothes." Elidinis is
worshiped throughout the desert, but especially by the people
of Nardah. Her iconography includes a symbol shaped like
waves of water and yellow and turquoise colors.

Icthlarin
Icthlarin is a jackal-headed god of the dead, the son of
Tumeken and Elidinis, and the brother of Amascut. He is
responsible for guiding the souls of the dead through the Grim
Underworld, Gielinor's afterlife, so that they may rest
peacefully. His iconography includes an ankh symbol and
ocher colors.

Amascut
Amascut is the daughter of Tumeken and Elidinis and was
once a lioness-headed goddess of rebirth. In this role, she
granted the souls escorted to the Grim Underworld by her
brother Icthlarin a new life. During the Second Age, however,
she was corrupted, becoming a goddess of destruction. She
abandoned her duties and instead began to steal souls from
Icthlarin and devour them. This caused many of her
worshipers to renounce her. In recent ages, she also began to
meddle with some of the other gods. She killed off many of
Apmeken's followers, corrupted Crondis, suppressed Het's
senses and manipulated Scabaras' followers into attacking
Sophanem. Amascut has a very small number of worshipers
throughout the Kharidian Desert. Her iconography includes an
inverted ankh symbol and pink, gold, and jade colors.

Apmeken
Apmeken is a monkey-headed goddess of social pleasures and
friendship and one of the four minor Menaphite gods. Very
little is known about her as most of her followers were killed
by Amascut many years ago. She is worshiped by a very small
number of individuals throughout the Kharidian Desert. Her
iconography includes a symbol of a monkey's head.

A few years after the start of the First Age, a man named
Harold became the first person to die on Gielinor. Guthix
granted the man immortality and tasked him with the
responsibility of reaping the souls of Gielinor's dead so that
they can travel to the Grim Underworld, Gielinor's afterlife.
Harold is now known as Death or the Grim Reaper.

 Some time later, the Mahjarrat betrayed the Kharidian
forces, instead choosing to help the Zarosians. With his
armies even more greatly outnumbered than at the start of the
war, Tumeken sacrificed himself in a last stand in order to
destroy most of Zaros' army, including many Mahjarrat. The
process is believed to have destroyed him and turned the once

From approximately the years 500 to 900 of the Fourth Age,
Humans began to settle in permanent establishments for the
first time, a significant change from their formerly nomadic
lifestyle. As their popoulation increased rapidly, their
settlements began to span almost all of Gielinor, including
present-day Kandarin, Misthalin, Asgarnia, Fremennik
Province, Kharidian Desert, Crandor, Entrana, and Karamja.

 Around the year 700 of the Fourth Age, a tribe of Humans
settled in what is now Misthalin, forming a village called
Avarrocka. In 730, a young warrior named Arrav helped to
defend the village with the help of a special magical shield and
some Imcando Dwarves from the Mahjarrat Zemouregal and
his undead army. Arrav pulverized the undead creatures, but
Zemouregal killed him before retreating and raised him into
an undead warrior. As the middle of the Fourth Age
progressed, Avarrocka conquered many of the neighboring
Human tribes, eventually growing to form the first, tiny Human
Kingdom of Misthalin, ruled by a monarch.
During the mid Fourth Age a massive dragon called Garak
attacked several Human settlements near the Wilderness,
killing many people. A heroine named Camorra eventually
slayed it, instantly becoming one of Gielinor's most famous
heroes.
During approximately the years 1100 to 1200 of the Fourth
Age, Lord Drakan attacked Misthalin with a huge Vampyric
army. The two countries' armies fought at Silvarea near the
River Salve and many lives are lost. The Misthalin army,
including seven priestly warriors, fought the Vampyres back
across the River Salve. It was at this point that the River Salve
gained its blessing which to this day prevents all evil creatures,
including Vampyres, from crossing it, protecting Misthalin
from further attacks.
Around the year 1669 of the Fourth Age, the Dwarven King
Alvis of Keldagrim died. Although Alvis had a son, his true
identity was not known, so there was no heir to replace the
king. The Dwarves decided to restructure their government to
allow it to be governed by a Consortium, a group of eight
mining companies. This new government lead the Dwarves
into an era of prosperity as their population and wealth grew.
Around the year 1777 of the Fourth Age, many people began
to migrate from Misthalin into Morytania. Although warned
about the region's Vampyric ruler and the Misthalin -
Morytanian War, they believed the stories to be myths. A few
towns in northern Morytania, including Canifis and Port
Phasmatys, were founded at this time. Unfortunately, most of
them were quickly subjected to Lord Drakan's blood tithes,
and those who refused to comply were slaughtered. The
people of Port Phasmatys turned to a mage named
Necrovarus for protection from the Vampyres. He constructed
a magical barrier around the town to keep the Vampyres out,
but it also kept the citizens locked inside. Eventually, they all
died due to being cut off from the outside world. The magical
barrier even prevented their souls from leaving the town, so
each person who died became a ghost unable to rest
peacefully.
In the late Fourth Age, the Gnomes became involved in a
war with local violent tribes of Goblins. At the Battle of
Atarisundri in modern-day Kandarin, a powerful Gnome
illusionist named Glouphrie fooled the Goblins into thinking
they had a huge battalion of war tortoises, causing the Goblins
to retreat in fear. The successful battle resulted in a peaceful
and prosperous golden age of the Gnomes. Some time later,
Glouphrie was exposed for trying to cover up his murder of a
very important spirit tree in the Gnome Stronghold. He was
banished from the kingdom and retreated to the Galarpos
Mountains, where he established the hidden city of
Arposandra.

 Player and Character Knowledge
With any campaign, not just one set on Gielinor, it is important
for the players to keep in mind the differences between their
own knowledge and their characters' knowledge. A player
might know information about a campaign, such as a
particular monster's weakness or the location of a hidden
item, but their character would not know this information
unless they had a specific reason to. If players abuse this, it
can be detrimental to a campaign. The GM should confront
the players in a friendly manner if they notice this type of
behavior and explain why it is problematic. If the players still
find it difficult not to take advantage of the information they
know, the GM should consider making changes to the
campaign's stories and statistics of monsters and other
content. This will force the players' knowledge to be more
aligned with their characters' knowledge.

Shaping the Story

The GM should feel at liberty to shape the stories of their
campaign to best fit their liking. The GM should try not to
restrict themself to following as exactly as possible the source
material from which they are shaping their campaign. Make
changes to the setting, monsters, items, and other content
liberally wherever it benefits the campaign. Tabletop
roleplaying games often rely much more heavily than video
games and other media on a world that is logical, cohesive,
and immersive, and it is recommended that the GM shapes
their campaign to value these concepts more highly than
accuracy to the source material. For example, in RuneScape,
many towns do not have facilities such as a tavern, inn, church,
general store, or market. In a more realistic world that better
suits a 5th edition campaign, these facilities might be much
easier to find in most places.
The players should be allowed the power to shape the story
of their campaign as a result of their actions. It is highly
recommended that the GM not force the players down a
particular path just because that is the course of action that is
taken in the source material. This stifles creativity and can
make the players feel like they have no reason to be in the
story at all. The GM should try to reward the players for
coming up with creative solutions to problems whenever
possible, even if it catches them off guard.

Scale Theory
Scale theory is a relatively lesser known theory concerning
RuneScape (and other fictional universes) which states that
what is seen within the video game is not all that exists within
its universe, but merely a simplified representation of a larger,
more cohesive, and more complex world. This implies a
number of things which, for a great campaign, should be taken
into account. Firstly, the true size of Gielinor is much larger
than how it is represented in RuneScape. Towns are also
much larger and much farther apart than how we see them in
the video game. In reality, they should be separated by vast
tracts of farmland or wilderness, and traveling between two
adjascent towns could take an entire day or even a week or
longer. Second, there are far more things that exist within
Gielinor than are seen in the video game. The GM should feel
free to fill in these large gaps in their campaign's setting with
whatever they choose, as doing so could drastically improve
their campaign.

 This section details a handful of player character class options,
including a few original subclasses.
Practically any standard 5th edition class should be suitable
for the Gielinor setting, but the forbiddance of any class is at
the discretion of the GM. Members of any race could
potentially be any class. However, more brutish races such as
Orks and Airut may be more predisposed toward physically
combative classes like the Barbarian or Fighter, rather than
more articulate classes like the Wizard or Bard.
The Druids of Gielinor are usually Humans and followers of
Guthix, but could conceivably be of any race and worship other
gods or no god at all.
A Fremennik Human character should not be of any
spellcasting class unless they are part of the Moon Clan or an
outcast, because they strongly believe only the gods are worthy
of its use. Most Keldagrim Dwarves are incapable of magic
due to an ages old curse placed on them by Zamorak, so
spellcasting classes may not be a good fit for them either.

Deities
The Cleric, Paladin, Warlock, and some other classes'
subclasses usually involve a relationship with a god or deity
that is integral to their abilities. These classes can easily be
reflavored from standard 5th edition classes to incorporate
elements of Gielinor. For example, a Cleric of the Life Domain
might worship Saradomin, Guthix, or Elidinis rather than one
of the standard 5th edition deities.
Warlock patrons are typically more loosely defined than a
Cleric's deity. A patron could be a god, but it is often a less
powerful creature. The player and GM can use the information
provided in this document to choose or create an appropriate
creature to be the Warlock's patron. For example, a Warlock of
the fiend might have a powerful demon from Infernus as their
patron. More examples of classes and suggested associated
deities are given in the Cleric Deities, Paladin Deities, and
Warlock Patrons tables.

Languages
A wide variety of languages are spoken on Gielinor. Common
is the primary language of most people, especially Humans.
Many languages from standard 5th edition can be reflavored
into a language native to this setting, such as Celestial to
Icyene. The Gielinor's Languages table lists many of Gielinor's
most common and most unique languages, their speakers, and
any of their mutually intelligible languages.
While almost the entirety of communications in RuneScape
are made in the Common language, it is recommended that a
campaign make more liberal use of a variety of languages so
as to not detract from the features and abilities of some player
characters. In reality, there could be a significant number of
humanoids on Gielinor that do not speak Common or that
make frequent use of other languages in addition to Common.
Speaking to an aggressive Goblin in its native language may
facilitate peaceful negotiations, and speaking to an untrusting
Elf in its native language may help to earn its confidence.

Crystal Weapon Seed. Upon crafting the seed, you choose
any mundane simple or martial weapon to be its true form.
You can add your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or
Dexterity, to attack and damage rolls made with the weapon.
Crystal Shield Seed. The seed's true form is a mundane
shield. You can don the shield as part of the action you take to
transform the seed. When you or another creature you can see
within 5 feet are hit with an attack while you are wielding the
shield, you can add your proficiency bonus to the AC against
that attack as a reaction.
Crystal Armor Seed. Upon crafting the seed, you choose
any mundane light or medium armor to be its true form. You
can don the armor as part of the action you take to transform
the seed. If the armor type you choose has a Strength
requirement, the crystal armor lacks this requirement. While
you are wearing the armor, you gain a bonus to initiative rolls
equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). When you
reach 5th level, you can also choose any heavy armor as the
seed's true form.

Versatile Singing
At 5th level, you've learned how to create almost anything
using your crystal singing techniques. You can use your action
to conjure up any mundane, inanimate object in your hand or
in an unoccupied space that you can see within 10 feet of you.
This object can be no larger than 5 feet on a side and its shape
must resemble that of an object that you have seen. The object
is crystalline in appearance, emanating a soft magical hum. It
disappears after 1 hour, when you use this feature again, or if
it takes more than 5 damage (AC 13).

Cunning Seeds
At 9th level, you can craft your seeds with such skill that they
can be transformed without the need for further crystal
singing. When you create a crystal seed, you can craft it such
that any creature can activate it. If you craft it in this way, the
creature that activates it gains all the benefits of using its true
form that you would for one hour. If you instead choose a
specific creature that you touch while crafting the seed, that
creature gains those benefits until the seed disappears.

once per round.
The extra damage increases to 1d6 at 6th level, 1d8 at 10th

At 6th level, you've grown more impervious to all kinds of

 Druid: Circle of Guthix
Druids of the Circle of Guthix are followers of the god of the
same name. In accordance with Guthixian philosophies, they
seek to preserve the beauty of nature and achieve balance in
all things: body and mind, chaos and order, darkness and light,
and good and evil. Members of the Circle of Guthix also
practice the art of herblore, or potion making, and have a
strong connection to the spirit plane, from which they can
summon a variety of otherworldly beings to aid them.

Infuse Pouch
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to imbue pouches with a
connection to the spirit plane in order to conjure familiars.
When you finish a long rest, you can infuse up to two ordinary
cloth pouches you touch with magic, transforming them into
summoning pouches. You must be holding a druidic focus or
material pouch to do so. When you make the pouches, choose
one of the following familiars for each pouch: spirit meerkats,
spirit spider, spirit terrorbird, or spirit wolf.
You can activate a summoning pouch using an action to
summon the chosen familiar, causing it to appear in an
unoccupied space of your choice within 10
feet. The pouch then loses its magic,
returning to its original state. The
familiar lasts for 1 hour or until you
die or dismiss it using an action. If
you summon a familiar while you
already have one active, the first one
vanishes. If you attempt to infuse a new
pouch while you've already made two that
haven't yet been activated, the oldest pouch vanishes.
The familiar is friendly to you and your companions and
obeys your commands. In combat, the familiar acts during
your turn. It can move, use its reaction, and use any available
bonus actions on its own, but the only action it takes is the
dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to
command it to take another action. That action can be one in
its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the
familiar can take any action of its choice, not just dodge.

Beast Speech
Also at 2nd level, your bond with nature's creatures allows you
to easily communicate with animals. You always have the
speak with animals spell prepared, and it doesn't count against
the number of spells you can prepare each day. Whenever you
cast speak with animals, you can speak to and understand
your familiars in addition to beasts.

Herblore Apprentice
Also at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with alchemist's
supplies.

Greater Familiars
At 6th level, your connection with the spirit plane has
strengthened, allowing you to summon more powerful
familiars. When you infuse a summoning pouch, you can also
choose the following familiars: bunyip, fruit bat, spirit graahk,
steel minotaur, and war tortoise.

 Monk: Way of Brutality
Monks of the Way of Brutality follow a tradition that values the
complete domination of one's enemies. Favoring sheer
strength over the nimbleness of other monks, they are masters
of physical combat. Many monks of this tradition are followers
of chaotic gods that value individual prowess such as Bandos,
Zamorak, and Tuska.

Intimidating Presence
Your ruthless combat techniques have taught you how to
better manipulate others' fears. When you choose this
tradition at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Intimidation.

Brutalize
Also at 3rd level, each time you attack a creature with your
Flurry of Blows, you can showcase your brutal fighting skills to
attempt to strike fear into their mind. Make a Charisma
(Intimidation) or Strength (Intimidation) check (your choice)
against that creature contested by their Wisdom (Insight)
check. If you succeed, the target is frightened until the end of
your next turn. If the creature succeeds, it is immune to this
feature until the end of your next turn.

Strength Techniques
Also at 3rd level, you have learned to take advantage of your
physical prowess in a wider variety of ways than other monks.
You can use your Strength modifier instead of your Dexterity
modifier when determining your AC from Unarmored Defense
and the damage reduced by Deflect Missiles.

Brutal Strikes
At 6th level, your strength allows you to deliver devastating
blows more frequently. Your weapon attacks and unarmed
strikes score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. Once per turn
when you score a critical hit with an unarmed strike or monk
weapon, you can spend 1 ki point to immediately make
another unarmed strike or monk weapon attack as a free
action.

Brutal Presence
At 11th level, you can make a Strength (Intimidation) check in
place of a Charisma (Intimidation) check wherever it is
deemed appropriate by the GM. When you do, your proficiency
bonus is doubled for that check.

Adrenaline Rush

At 10th level, you can also craft master runes at a cost of 3

Death Rune. You weave powerful necrotic magic into the
spell, hastening the inevitability of death. One creature
targeted by the spell takes an additional 1d6 necrotic damage,
and any hit points they regain for the next 1 minute are
reduced by half.
Blood Rune. You augment the spell with blood magic,
siphoning the life force of your target into an ally. One creature
targeted by the spell takes an additional 2d6 necrotic damage,
and you can then choose for another creature within 30 feet of
the target to regain hit points equal to the necrotic damage
dealt by the rune.
Soul Rune. You enhance the spell to temporarily strengthen
the bond between body and soul. Choose either yourself or one
creature targeted by the spell. For the next 1 minute, when the
chosen creature drops to 0 hit points, they are not knocked
unconscious. They still must make death saving throws, and
they suffer the normal effects of taking damage while at 0 hit
points. However, if the creature would die due to failing death
saving throws, they instead become unconscious and stable,
and the effect ends.
Wrath Rune. You strengthen the spell with intense
emotional magic. One target of the spell that took damage
from it takes an additional 2d6 damage of one of the spell's
damage types and the target becomes frightened of you for 1
minute. The target makes a Wisdom saving throw against your
spell save DC at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect
on a success.

Runeweaving
At 14th level, you have mastered two highly advanced methods
of utilizing the runes you craft: runesplitting and combination
runes. You can use only one of these effects at once when you
cast a spell.
Runesplitting. You coerce even more power out of each
rune you expend. If you consume a rune which affects one
target of your spell, you can spend 1 runecrafting point to
instead cause it to affect two targets of the spell.
Combination Runes. You fuse the magic of two runes
together before unleashing a greatly empowered spell. When
you consume a rune, you can consume one additional basic
rune to also gain its effects for that spell against the same or
another target. You cannot combine the effects of two of the
same rune.

 Airut
Airut are strange, boar-like humanoid creatures that
somewhat resemble the minotaur. Their bizarre mouths, many
horns, skin colors, and bulkier physique, however, distinguish
them. They are cruel, chaotic creatures that take great
pleasure in combat. They are proud warriors who love not only
to brawl and battle with one another, but to completely
pulverize their enemies in combat.

Appearance
Airut are similar in appearance to the minotaur, but actually
bear more resemblance to the boar than to the bull. They have
between four and six front-curving horns, one larger pair
sprouting from just behind the eyes, and one to two smaller
pairs along the side of the jaw. They have strange mouths with
mandible-like flaps that open laterally, revealing their small,
pointed teeth within. Many Airut wear masks made of poorly
fashioned together bits of metal or leather; they are better
warriors than craftsmen. Their heads are small in comparison
to their massive bodies, even wider and bulkier than most
Minotaurs. They have massive, bulging necks, a huge torso,
bulky arms, large hands, and small, comparatively thin legs. Long ago as Tuska wandered about the universe, she

 Aviansie
Aviansie are a race of avian humanoid creatures that were
originally from a world of floating islands called Abbinah. They
bear a strong connection to Armadyl, god of justice, who was
once an ordinary Aviansie as well. They are a majestic and
dexterous people, capable of maintaining free flight nearly
constantly. They generally share Armadyl's belief in upholding
law, justice, and the greater good.

Appearance
Aviansie have humanoid shaped bodies, but bear many
distinct, bird-like features. Their bodies are completely
covered with feathers, they have talon-like hands and feet, and
their small heads are shaped like those of birds. Sprouting
from their backs are a large pair of wings powerful enough to
give them fully mobile flight, even while wearing light combat
equipment. Though the majority of the Aviansie on Gielinor
have an appearance that resembles the hawk, with brown
plummage and large, curved beaks, many different types of
Aviansie are known to exist. Some have appearances that
more closely resemble owls, herons, phoenixes or other birds.
In Aviansie culture, it is considered very rude to point out such
differences in appearance.

From Chaos to Order

The Aviansie lived on Abbinah in a tribal society for many
centuries. They constantly struggled to survive on this world.
Deadly storms ravaged the skies, water was scarce, food
needed to be competed for with other creatures and one
another, and the floating islands frequently collided with one
another, causing massive destruction. Armadyl sought to
improve the chaotic lives of his people, so during the Second
Age, he united the species and brought almost the entirety of
their people to Gielinor, promising that this new world would
allow them to live and thrive in peace. While uncomfortable in
their new environment at first, the Aviansie adjusted quickly to
life on Gielinor, making new friends and allies with some
groups of Humans.

Near Extinction
Despite Armadyl's best efforts to avoid any involvement in the
conflicts of the Third Age, he and the Aviansie were inevitably
pulled into the God Wars. The Aviansie proved to be capable
and wise warriors, fighting valiantly under their god and
hoping to be able to bring long lasting peace to Gielinor.
During the largest battle of the wars, forces from all sides
involved fought at Forinthry. Zamorak destroyed the entire
region in a last ditch effort, turning the once beautiful
landscape of Forinthry into the now barren and lifeless
Wilderness, and taking the lives of almost the entire Aviansie
race among countless others. With the weight of these lost
lives on his shoulders, Armadyl quickly gathered up as many of
the surviving Aviansie as he could and returned them to
Abbinah. A small number of Aviansie who were separated,
forgotten, or thought to have died remained on Gielinor. With
the gods now banished from the world, they had little hope of
ever rejoining their people.

 Elf
Elves are a tall, graceful, and diverse people that mainly live in
Tirannwn, the westernmost region of Gielinor. They are a race
with one of Gielinor's longest lifespans. Making little use of
Human magic and technology, Elven society utilizes tools,
weaponry, and magic based on the use of crystals. Elves have a
deep connection with the crystal goddess Seren. Because of
their rarity outside of the westernmost areas of Gielinor, many
people regard the Elves as merely a myth.

Appearance
Elves have a similar appearance to Humans, but are slightly
taller and more slender on average and have long, pointed
ears. They are renowned for their beauty and grace. While
most have fair skin with faint tints of pink or beige, Elves can
have a variety of skin colors ranging from very fair to dark
mahogany. Many have tattoos of swirling or sometimes
angular patterns, usually on their faces. Most Elves, male and
female, have long, straight hair that is typically either let down
beyond shoulder length or put up with decorative circlets or
other accessories. Their hair can be of any typical color—
including blond, brown, black, and red—as well as any manner
of unusual colors like green or magenta.

Bound to Seren
Before coming to Gielinor, the Elves lived on Tarddiad, a world
covered in trees and crystalline structures. They lived in a
peaceful and harmonious society organized into nine clans.
When Seren arrived, she took an interest in the world and its
inhabitants. She bestowed upon them many gifts of knowledge
to improve their quality of life, such as the ability shape
crystals into useful forms through a type of magical chanting
known as crystal singing. The Elves quickly grew to adore
Seren, and she grew very fond of them as well. She loved and
cherished them, and saw herself as a maternal figure to them.
During Seren and the Elves' time on Tarddiad, one of
Seren's most beloved Elves died of old age. In a desperate
attempt to prevent something similar from happening in the
future, the heartbroken goddess attempted to extend the
lifespan of the Elves. In doing so, she inexplicably tied the race
to herself, creating a powerful and unusual magical bond
between them. Due to this bond, any Elf that wasn't in Seren's
presence for an extended period of time would slowly grow ill
and feverish, eventually leading to their death. For many years
Seren sought a way to break the Elves' dependence on her so
that they could live freely, but her search was fruitless.

Shattered Goddess
The Elves were one of the earliest races to arrive on Gielinor,
being brought there by Seren in the early First Age. Most were
very resistant to the idea of relocating, but Seren was able to
convince them, emphasizing the world's great beauty and
abundance of resources. Seren also hoped that she might find
some way to wean the Elves off their dependence on her on
this new world. The Cywir clan, which placed great value in
history and tradition, decided to stay behind on Tarddiad.
Seren and the Elves created Prifddinas, a great crystal city
and one of the first establishments on Gielinor.

faith in Bandos, however, the Goblins cared little for their
fallen brethren.

The Chosen Commander

After the gods were banished from Gielinor and the wars
ended, the Goblins' loyalty to Bandos remained strong.
However, without Bandos' leadership, the race fell into
disarray. The many tribes of Goblins warred with one another
for years. During one battle, now known as the Battle of the
Plain of Mud, all twelve of the tribes fought one another,
resulting in heavy bloodshed and massive losses. During the
night after the battle, Bandos proclaimed a message to the
leaders of each tribe, telling them that one day he would send
a "Chosen Commander" to Gielinor. What exactly the purpose
of the Chosen Commander will be is still debated. At present
day, some Goblins believe that the Chosen Commander will
guide the Goblins to conquer all of Gielinor, and others think it
will bring peace to the race.

Goblin Names
Goblins refer to one another using a single given name. Their
names typically consist of an adjective or noun, often having to
do with nature, followed by a part of the body.

Ilujanka
The Ilujanka are a race of reptilian humanoids originally from
a peaceful, marshy world known as Iaia. After showing their
talent at riding dragons during the Zarosian empire, they also
became known as the Dragon Riders.

Appearance
Ilujanka bear a lizard-like appearance, with scaly skin in light
shades of green, cyan, and purple. Their small heads have
pointed snouts and a few short, externally resting teeth. They
are slightly shorter than many humanoids, but have long arms
and necks. They have four long fingers on each of their large
hands and their feet are slightly webbed. Their fingers and toes
are tipped with short claws that are used more often as tools
than as weapons. A handful of short spines jut from their tails
and wide necks. They have frills on their heads, backs, and
tails which can expand and contract based on their mood.

Natural Riders
Ilujanka have a well-developed culture, although it is fairly
primitive due to the lack of magic or technology on Iaia. They
live mostly as farmers and craftsmen. They live in peace with
one another and with large creatures inhabiting Iaia's
marshland known as gurhs. In return for helping them search
for food and tending to their eggs, these animals allow the
Ilujanka to use them to plow their fields.

Troubled Future
There used to be many tribes of Ilujanka, but in present day,
only one village remains; the result of the species mysteriously
becoming infertile. Only one new Ilujanka is known to have
been born in the last decade.

Olun'dai
Superstition is an important part of the Ilujanka's lives. They
believe in an Olun'dai, a sort of predestined fate in accordance
with which all events occur. Ilujanka highly value their own
role in the Olun'dai, called the Olun'det. Because of this
philosophy, they see themselves as equals to the other species
on their planet, even if only they are sentient. In the philosophy
of the Olun'det, they do not fear their extinction. They prepare
the world for the other species and have accepted death.
Ilujanka believe that when they die, their spirits are brought to
an afterlife they call the Forest Beyond.

The gaddderhammer is a magic maul that was created by
Gadderanks, a Human man in charge of collecting blood tithes
for the ruling Vampyres of Morytania. He is terribly afraid of

This weapon was constructed during the God Wars to be
capable of killing a god. Each of the four primary forces of the
wars, Armadyl, Bandos, Saradomin, and Zamorak, created
their own hilt to fit the blade. Each hilt changes the
appearance and magical properties of the sword. Attaching a
hilt to a godsword blade is permanent, and only one hilt can be
fitted to a single blade. Once the hilt has been attached, the
godsword is complete and gains one of the following
properties.

Armadyl Godsword
The godsword has 3 charges. When you make an attack with
it, you can attempt to cast down Armadyl's judgement,
performing an upward swipe with immense force. If the attack
hits a creature, the creature takes an additional 4d6 force
damage, the creature is knocked into the air and must succeed

Bestiary

 The world of Gielinor contains a very wide variety of creatures
that originate from all manner of environments. Statistics of
monsters from various published 5th edition sources can be
used as is or altered slightly for many, many of these monsters.
Obviously, there is no way that every monster from every area
of Gielinor and the surrounding worlds could be included in
this document. However, many of the game's most basic,
integral, and unique creatures will be mentioned in this
section.

Aberrations
Aberrations are bizarre and terrible creatures that come from
other planes of existance. A few aberrations were known to
have had a prominent presence in the God Wars of the Third
Age, as transportation of creatures to Gielinor from other

Dark Beasts
Dark beasts are terrifying creatures that come from a dark
dimension. They vaguely resemble the rhinoceros, with
hulking, black bodies, four legs, large heads, and a single
massive, long horn that protrudes from their foreheads. Dark
beasts were believed to have played a small role in the God
Wars, after which they were rarely ever sighted on Gielinor.
Currently, they can be found in some dungeons, including the
Ancient Cavern in Kandarin, the Mourner Tunnels beneath
West Ardougne, and the Forinthry
Dungeon in the Wilderness. Dark
beasts are highly dangerous and aggressive
creatures that have been known to kill people who come
across them. They have great physical strength and can charge
at their foes with incredible force. They also have considerable
magical strength, allowing them to shoot harmful rays of
magic, surround themselves in magical darkness, and even
force their foes to run in fear.

Tortoises are huge, slow-moving reptiles that have thick shells.
They have huge flat bodies, four large legs, and long necks.
When pressed to combat, they can deliver powerful bites and
withdraw into their shells, making them incredibly difficult to
harm. Tortoises are often trained by Gnomes to be used as
mounts in battle, able to carry massive loads and as many as
three of them on their backs at once. Because they are
naturally peaceful creatures, the training process is long and
difficult, but a powerful armored mount makes for a very
valuable asset to the Gnomish military. Some tortoises are
outfitted with wooden barding fastened to their legs and heads
to offer them even more protection while in battle. In this case,
increase the tortoise's AC to 17.

Commander Zilyana is one of Saradomin's highest ranking
leaders and an Icyene. She lies in the heart of the
Saradominist encampment in the God Wars Dungeon. As an
Icyene, Zilyana bears a strong resemblance to a very large
Human with four white, feathery wings. She has fair skin,
short orange hair, bright blue eyes, and wears simple leather
armor colored blue and yellow and marked with symbols of
Saradomin. When pressed to combat, she uses a shield along
with a very long sword large enough to be a greatsword for a
humanoid, though she wields it in one hand. She is extremely
swift in combat due to her flight and agility. Her sword glows
as she swings it and hits very hard, damaging its targets with
additional radiant magic. She can also use it to rain lightning
down at her foes at close range. Zilyana also possesses innate
magical capabilities, and is able to heal herself and others and
fire huge bolts of lightning.

Demons
Demons are a large group of creatures that come in a wide
variety of shapes and sizes. Most demons are humanoid in
shape, though many are quadrupedal instead. Most demons
have beastly features, such as horns, claws, or tendrils, and
have bodies of hellish shades of red, violet, or black. Some
demons have wings, while others are flightless.
In general, demons are fairly powerful, evil, and dangerous
creatures feared by commoners. Save for a few of the most
powerful demons, their preferred method of combat is
typically bare-handed, relying on their claws, horns, or jaws in
combat. Some demons even possess magical capabilities,
such as the ability to breathe fire or cast spells.
Demons typically travel to Gielinor from other realms, such
as the Infernal Dimensions or the Abyss, and most are
followers and servants of Zamorak or Zaros. The demons of
Infernus have a complex and organized society in which
demons create and agree to contracts with one another. They
are evil and cunning beings that always try to outwit one
another, and some contracts can even end in the death of one
party.
Usually, when a demon travels to Gielinor, it exists only
partially on the world, manifesting a physical body and then
inhabiting it with their soul. If a demon dies or is killed, it
destroys the body in a small magical explosion as it bursts into
flames, leaving behind nothing but a pile of ashes. This allows
the soul to return to Infernus or whatever plane it originated
from and begin to create another physical body. This process
can make the permanent killing of a demon very difficult.

Note: The distinction between the fiends, demons,

devils, and other fiend subtypes of standard 5th
edition does not concur with that of similar
creatures on Gielinor. Therefore, all such creatures
of Gielinor are classified under the demon creature
type, which has four main subtypes: fiend,
Cthonian, Avernic, and Infernal.

Gargoyles
Unlike the elemental gargoyles of standard 5th edition, the
gargoyles of Gielinor are considered demons. They can be
found in a small number of rocky dungeons, in the Chaos
Tunnels beneath the Wilderness, and inside Viggora's Folly in
northwest Morytania. For the gargoyles of Gielinor, use the 5th
edition gargoyle statistics, but make the following adjustments:

Change the creature type to demon

Change the language known to Infernal
Change the damage resistances to bludgeoning, piercing,
and slashing from nonmagical attacks
Remove the condition immunities, except for poisoned

Avernic Demons
The Avernic demons long served as slaves to the Infernal and
Cthonian demons. Eventually, Zamorak managed to convince
many Avernics to pledge their loyalty to him, and led them in
an uprising against their Cthonian masters. They succeeded,
banishing most Cthonians that weren't killed to the Abyss. In
general, Avernic demons are the most human-like of all the
demons in appearance. They are split into four major classes,
the Shakroth, Byzroth, Alyaroth, and Tsutsaroth, with each
class acting as servants or slaves for the higher ranking ones.
The Shakroth are the lowest ranking class of the Avernic
demons, consisting of creatures such as hellhounds. They are
completely incapable of speech and magic.

Lesser Demons
Lesser demons belong to the Byzroth tribe of Avernic demons.
Their social ranking is only above that of the Shakroth, so they
often serve as slaves to the higher ranking Alyaroth and
Tsutsaroth tribes. Lesser demons have hellish red bodies of
roughly humanoid shape and size. They have horns of various
shapes and sizes on their heads and sometimes also on their
arms, backs, necks, or shoulders. They primarily fight with
their claws, which can cause wounds that become deadly if left
untreated. They also possess minor innate magic, able to hurl
small bolts of flame to assail their foes at range.

K'ril Tsutsaroth
K'ril Tsutsaroth is an Avernic demon of the Tsutsaroth tribe
and one of Zamorak's highest ranking generals. He lies in the
heart of the Zamorakian encampment in the God Wars
dungeon. Members of his tribe are rarely found outside of
Infernus, making him one of the most powerful demons
present on Gielinor. He is very similar in appearance to a
greater demon, with a red body, large wings, and a humanoid
shape, but is even larger and has hoofed feet instead of claws.
In combat, K'ril uses his brute strength as well as some
magical capability to pulverise his foes. He is one of the few
demons to utilize armor and weaponry, donning a patchwork
of metal armor pieces marked with the symbol of Zamorak
and using two huge scimitars in combat. Despite their size, he
swings his weapons very rapidly, and is able to enter a
demonic rage to make his attacks even more potent. Using his
magic, he can hurl scorching rays of flame and cause spikes of
rock to erupt from the ground and drain the life-force of his
enemies.

K'ril's Bodyguards
K'ril is usually accompanied by his three bodyguards: a lesser
demon called Zakl'n Gritch, a greater demon called Tstanon
Karlak, and a black demon called Balfrug Kreeyath.

Mountain trolls are the most commonly found type of trolls
and seem to have the greater intelligence, making the most
use of tools and having the most organized societies. They can
be found in the troll country, which surrounds the mountain of
Trollheim north of Burthorpe. Mountain trolls have brown
bodies with skin covered in chunks of rock. They have long,
muscular arms and large heads with big lower jaws and small
green eyes. They often equip themselves with a crude
patchwork of wooden armor pieces haphazardly held together
with rope. These trolls have threatened the safety of Burthorpe
as well as the Dwarven city of Keldagrim since they each were
founded, frequently launching unorganized attacks and raids
against these establishments.

 Humanoids
Humanoids are a diverse group of Human-like creatures that
can be found on a large portion of the surface of Gielinor. By
far the most populous species of humanoids is Humans, who
during the 5th Age began to take control of much of of
Gielinor, forming the three main Human Kingdoms: Misthalin,
Asgarnia, and Kandarin. Other humanoids include Dwarves,
Gnomes, Goblins, Aviansie, Elves, Werewolves, and Vampyres.

Note: For most humanoid creatures of Gielinor,

there exist 5th edition statistics that can be used
to accurately represent them. Information for only
a few notable and unique humanoids and those
that differ significantly from 5th edition will be
provided in this section.
For comprehensive details on most of the
humanoid races of Gielinor, see Races of Gielinor.
The GM may choose for humanoid non-player
characters to inherit traits similar to those listed in
the Races of Gielinor section, but is suggested to
do so sparingly. Remember that less is more.

Mahjarrat
Mahjarrat are an extremely powerful race of humanoids that
came to Gielinor from a world called Freneskae. The name of
their race means "Children of Mah", referring to their creator,
the elder goddess Mah. They have very long natural lifespans,
and have been able to live for millennia due to their rituals of
rejuvination. These rituals take place once every 500 years
and require the sacrifice of one Mahjarrat to restore the power
of the rest. In their natural form, Mahjarrat are significantly
taller than humans, possibly being the tallest of all humanoids.
They have gray skin that is covered in stripes and markings,
and bear a large gemstone on their foreheads.
In addition to having great physical strength, the Mahjarrat's
innate magical capabilities are second to none, with some
individuals having different abilities than others. All Mahjarrat
have extremely long lifespans and seem to be nearly immortal.
They can teleport anywhere they like and can shapeshift into
practically any form they choose, except for the form of
another Mahjarrat. They can also sense the presence and state
of other members of their race, even at extreme distances.
Some Mahjarrat can use their magic to prevent aging at the
cost of complete immobility. Some can prevent wounds from
healing, telepathically harm the minds of others, restore the
dead, control the weather, summon hoardes of undead, or heal
even severe wounds in battle.
The statistics of one Mahjarrat, Enakhra, are given in this
section. Statistics for other Mahjarrat can be made by applying
the following changes:

Replace the Life Funnel feature, which is unique to

Enakhra, with another appropriate feature unique to that
Mahjarrat.
Change the list of spells in the Spellcasting feature (all
Mahjarrat possess the same innate spells).
Add up to 2 languages as appropriate.

Skeletal Wyverns
Skeletal wyverns are bony, undead forms of dragon-like
creatures called wyverns. The exact circumstances of their
creation are uncertain, but it is likely that they were created as
part of the many experiments conducted on dragons by the
Dragonkin. Skeletal wyverns possess the ability to breathe
cold elemental energy which slows their enemies. Skeletal
wyverns can be found in the freezing cold depths of the
Asgarnian ice dungeon.
Skeletal wyverns have a similar body structure to wyverns,
with two legs, two winged arms, and long necks and tails.
Because they are made up entirely of bones, their wings are
little more than hollow bone structures similar in shape to the
bones in bats' wings, and they lack the ability to fly. Also unlike
the wyverns is the fact that they stand and walk bipedally,
rather than the awkward and slow shuffling of the arms and
legs that wyverns use. This is likely made possible by their
reduced weight, and as a result, they can move slightly more
quickly than wyverns can while on the ground.
