Wednesday, 11 January, Cambridge, UK – Today, Old School RuneScape is launching a brand new quest with Secrets of the North which continues the Mahjarret storyline which begun back in 2001. This is a Master level quest which features a solo-only boss encounter and powerful new rewards.

There has been a murder and there is no shortage of suspects. The Hazeel cult, the Khazard forces and even the player themselves have all been incriminated. To discover the truth, players must form an unlikely alliance with a pair of mahjarrat to uncover the true killer and their motive.
*
Rewards for this quest include an upgrade to the Ancient Potion, an upgrade to the Ancient Staff, and a brand new Venator Bow for all the archers. The fun doesn’t stop there, the boss encounter will be repeatable for the loot-hungry completionists.

Secrets of the North begins a journey toward the sequel to the iconic and beloved 17-year quest Desert Treasure. Desert Treasure II – The Fallen Empire will arrive later this year and lead players across four brand new areas, each of which contains a deadly new boss. Vardorvis, Duke Sucellus, the Leviathan, and the mysterious Whisperer await adventurers brave enough to uncover the secrets buried in the Kharidian Desert.
