Fiara seems to be a giant earwig. She teaches players the basics of Fist of Guthix. Although the player is a little doubtful at first, the druids respect her and want the player to do so as well. She can be found at the north-west of the waiting room.

After talking to her, the player can go into the entrance at the east of her, north end of waiting room. Then the activity will start (if enough players are present).

Fiara is a Guardian of Guthix placed by Guthix to protect the Fist of Guthix site after the God Wars.

Dear Fiara,

I love Fist Of Guthix, well I really love the free runes for my magic experience anyway. But I have a question for you. When I've been wandering around collecting my charges I've noticed several pillars around the edge of the arena. I thought nothing of these at first, but upon noticing them the second time, I noticed they have the symbol of Saradomin, the 4 pointed star. Now I know Fist of Guthix is an activity given to us by my favourite god, Guthix, so why is Saradomin's symbol here? Did Saradomin's followers sneak past you while you were sleeping or something and vandalise your activity?

I'd love to know what happened.

Yours Gratefully, King ash66

The Fist of Guthix was never meant for anyone but Guthix. Unfortunately, while Guthix sleeps, there are plenty who would disagree - gods, Mahjarrat and men, all after its power. I'd expect nothing less from humans, feeble creatures that they are, but Saradomin should have known better. I recall when Saradomin's knights came to claim the Fist, and to make the caves their temple. Their efforts were frustrated, of course, and, as Saradominists often do, scrawled the symbols on the walls as they left.

I have been guarding this cave for mortal lifetimes and have encountered many who seek the power of the Fist. Thankfully, in His wisdom, Guthix deemed it necessary to further safeguard the Fist, tasking Crux Eqal with its protection. As such, those who pass me are still far from acquiring it. In the meantime, I'm left to babysit a bunch of power-crazed, thankless mortals and keep them from causing too much damage. *sigh*

Trivia

• If the player talk to Fiara and claims they are a 'Guardian of Guthix', she will proclaim with laughter and call them a "seer of light but bringer of lies''. After talking to her again she will call the player this again sarcastically, and after they ask her to just call them their real name, she'll call them "NAME the indecisive" If the player claims they are a "Guardian of Saradomin or Zamorak" she will call them a blind follower of an evil god or an usurper.
• On 10 October 2009 there was a glitch that allowed players to walk "inside" Fiara. There was a minor spam party lasting for about 10 minutes inside her.
• Fiara can hear things far away because when the player chooses the option to say "who is the weird looking giant earwig thing", the guardian says "shhhhh, give Fiara some respect, she can hear you you know."
