Kili is the ghost of an Imcando dwarf and a resident of the City of Um, appearing in the city when the player reaches 20 Necromancy.
She is the city blacksmith and teaches the player how to upgrade Death Skull equipment, deathwarden robe armour, and deathdealer robe armour, starting with the Kili Row quest and continued in the Kili's Knowledge achievements.
She also acts as the taskmaster for Hard Underworld achievements.
Kili's tasks[edit | edit source]
Kili assigns the player tasks at each tier. The tasks only have a Necromancy level requirement; the player doesn't need to have the previous tasks completed to unlock the ability to upgrade the equipment from the previous tier. However, to receive the previous tier equipment without trading, the player needs to complete the corresponding task. An equipment upgrade task list will given to the player that lists different requirements for each tier. The required Necromancy level is not boostable.
Cancelling a task does not automatically remove the required items from the bank; players are free to cancel a task and return to finish it later.
Completing tasks for either deathwarden or deathdealer robe armour will automatically unlock the relevant tier upgrades for Death Skull equipment.
The player must carry the soul urn in their backpack to gather the souls required by the tasks.

History[edit | edit source]
Kili was an Imcando dwarf who lived in the Third Age. Her partner was Thalmund, a smith kidnapped by goblins and brought to Warforge to create weapons for them.[1][2] She was the addressee of a series of letters that Thalmund left behind in Warforge, which the player finds as part of the Heart of the Forge mystery. What has happened to her afterwards is unknown, although Thalmund said that if he escaped the destruction of Warforge he would come back home to her.[3]
Eventually both Kili and Thalmund passed away, after which both dwarves opened a smithy in the City of Um. With Thalmund spending most of his time exploring the Underworld[4], Kili would usually man the shop on her own, with Thalmund returning to visit every so often.[5]

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Kili is a reference to Kili Thekkrsson, a dwarven troll slayer in Warhammer.[6]
- Since the quest Necromancy! takes place after the re-establishment of the Edicts of Guthix and the Zamorakian Civil War, and is required to make the equipment several of the things, that Kili requests to upgrade it, are technically anachronistic:
- Commander Zilyana, General Graardor, Kree'arra, K'ril Tsutsaroth and Nex had all left the God Wars Dungeon after the Godsword was claimed, and to subsequently assist in the Elder God Wars Dungeon. K'ril had during the Zamorakian Civil War been banished back to Infernus by Bilrach. Nex left Gielinor for Freneskae assuming she'd be banished with the re-establishment of the Edicts of Guthix, having supposedly ascended to godhood.
- The generals from the Heart of Gielinor had also all left. Vindicta had retreated from the Heart on Zaros' orders following Sliske's Endgame. Nymora, the Vengeful and Avaryss, the Unceasing also left on Zamorak's orders and assisted in the Elder God Wars Dungeon, Avaryss was subsequently captured in a diabolus by Moia during the Zamorakian Civil War. Gregorovic was cleansed of his madness and returned to his true form as a Cthonian demon. Helwyr was the last general to leave the Heart, doing so to aid in the Battle of the Monolith.
- The Ambassador's plan was foiled, and he was slain before successfully summoning his master in the Shadow Reef.
- The player also asks if Kili is expecting them to defeat Zamorak with Necromancy, though Zamorak was already banished from Gielinor with the Edicts of Guthix by the time the player is introduced to Necromancy.
