Khazard's Army
Khazard's Army is the armed forces of General Khazard, that are situated in Port Khazard, the Fight Arena and the Battlefield. They fight for the god Zamorak.
The forces of Khazard are currently at war with the Gnomes of the Tree Gnome Village. During one of their most recent battles in the Battlefield north of the Village, one of the troops stole an Orb of protection and hid it in a stronghold north of the Battlefield, so that the gnomes would surrender to them. This led the Village's gnome king, King Bolren, to ask for help to a human adventurer who just recently had managed to trespass the Village maze in his curiosity, starting the events of the Tree Gnome Village quest. After the adventurer successfully infiltrates the stronghold (using a gnome ballista) and recovers the orb, he/she returns to King Bolren only to find that, while he was recovering the orb, another Khazard troop, leaded by a Khazard Warlord, attacked the Village and stole the remaining two Orbs of protection, killing some gnomes in the way. Again, the adventurer searches for the orbs, until he/she finds the warlord hidden outside the walls of West Ardougne and defeats him, recovering the orbs and saving the tree gnomes from near-extinction. The armies of Khazard and the Tree Gnome Village can still be seen fighting after this, meaning that neither group will surrender to the other.
This "hunting" campaign is one of the facts that enraged Glough against the humans, leading him into his plan of killing the Grand Tree to provide wood for the production of ships to attack the human kingdoms (most likely including General Khazard's army) and putting gnomes as supreme rulers of Gielinor over the humans.
