Barbarian Village is a small village south of Edgeville and west of Varrock. The village contains many aggressive barbarians, so low level players are advised to proceed with caution! The entire village is a multicombat area, allowing many players to attack just one barbarian — or many barbarians to attack just one player.

Players can also enter the Stronghold of Security through a hole in the centre of the village.

Lore

A century ago, the lost art of Runecraft was rediscovered, allowing humans to quickly dominate most of Gielinor. The nomadic mountain tribes of Rellekka embarked on a crusade to stop the use of Magic and Runecrafting, which they believe belong only to the gods. During this time, the first Wizards' Tower was burned to the ground (although not by the barbarians), and the magic-using Imcando dwarves were driven to near-extinction.

As casualties mounted, however, the tribes dwindled and were dispersed, and the Barbarian Village was established in between what is now Varrock and Falador as a temporary outpost until the tribes could recover their numbers. Over time, the barbarians gradually settled down, and the village became a more permanent establishment.

Stronghold of Security

Main article: Stronghold of Security

Reached through a hole located in the mining area, the Stronghold of Security, new from 4 July 2006, is open to both members and free-to-play players. The medium-sized dungeon gives rewards for making it to the centre of each of its four levels, each of increasing difficulty. Various monsters inhabit each level, including goblins, skeletons, ankou, and several monsters unique to the dungeon, such as minotaurs.

Treasure Trails

• Killing a barbarian in the Barbarian Village or at the Barbarian Outpost for a key to be able to search the chest in the Exam Centre is the solution to the medium cryptic clue: The dead, red dragon watches over this chest. He must really dig the view.
• Hunding is the solution to the beginner cryptic clue: In a village of barbarians, I am the one who guards the village from up high.
