Template:Relativelocation The Kingdom of Asgarnia is one of the main kingdoms of the RuneScape world. Asgarnia's primary economic activities are crafting, mining, and fishing. It also has a notable navy based in Port Sarim. It is ruled over supposedly by the King Vallance and Prince Anlaf; however, they have recently vanished from public life and Sir Amik Varze (Based in Falador) and Denulth (Based in Burthorpe and opposed to Varze) have taken their place. Some players believe the White Knights are not telling the full truth about themselves (Juna, a Guardian of Guthix, warns the player about this too). Asgarnia is also the possible home of the Temple Knight's Headquarters and recruitment centre. Contrary to popular belief, Draynor Village and Edgeville are NOT located in Asgarnia, but are towns of Misthalin. Many are surprised by this due to the fact that the border between the two regions is so close to these towns.
Most of Asgarnia has a temperate climate. There are exceptions to it. Ice Mountain, for an example, is cold enough to be permanently covered with snow (however, this is due to the height of the mountain). Also, the southernmost end of Asgarnia with Mudskipper Point has tropical climate.
History
Asgarnia has always been a nation that encourages chivalry and duty, as it was a stronghold of Saradomin during the God Wars. Therefore it seems fitting that the White Knights and Temple Knights have made Falador (the capital city of Asgarnia) their home. They however are not the only group of people who have settled in Asgarnia. The druids have been worshipping in Taverley as long as anyone can remember and they have made summoning and herblore popular activities throughout Asgarnia.
The dwarves have built a large network of underground tunnels and are tolerated by the people of Asgarnia. However not everyone has been known to get on. The Imperial Guard of Burthorpe have always fancied running Asgarnia themselves, supported by The Crown Prince. The Black Knights have a heavily protected fortress to the north and it is only because of the endless endeavours of adventurers to foil their plans that they have not wrought havoc and destruction.
Although a normally quiet nation, Asgarnia has its fair share of problems to deal with. Growing numbers of those who worship Zamorak gather nearby and the strong ancient fortifications of Falador may be needed in the future to keep Zamorak's power from within its walls.
