Aristarchus: Good day, sir. Are you interested in the history of this area?

Option 1

• Player: Yes, I want to know more about the desert!
  • Aristarchus: It's good to meet someone so eager to learn!
  • Aristarchus: Now, what would you like to hear about?
• Aristarchus:

• Enakhra the Mahjarrat
• Akthanakos the Mahjarrat
• Enakhra's Temple
• The Camulet

On selecting Option A

• Player: Tell me about Enakhra the Mahjarrat.
• Aristarchus: I have read only little about her. She was one of the Mahjarrat who arrived in Gielinor many thousands of years ago.
• Aristarchus: She supported Zamorak when he tried to gain power, but her efforts to gain his favour failed, and she retreated to a temple she had built.
• Aristarchus: This is the last anyone knows of what happened to her, and it took place several thousand years ago.

On selecting Option B

• Player: Tell me about Akthanakos the Mahjarrat.
• Aristarchus: Like Enakhra, his rival, Akthanakos came to Gielinor with the other Mahjarrat. He took on the aspect of one of the local gods, and is usually drawn with a camel's head.
• Aristarchus: He was against Zamorak's rise to power, but the last anyone knows of him was that he and Enakhra were thinking of forgetting their rivalry.

On selecting Option C

• Player: Tell me about Enakhra's temple.
• Aristarchus: Well, sources say that Enakhra tried to gain favour with Zamorak by building him a temple somewhere in the desert.
• Aristarchus: It is said that when she showed it to him, he was not impressed, and told her he would rather have a weapon that could slay gods than a temple.
• Aristarchus: After that, it seems Enakhra retreated to that temple. If she hasn't died, she's been there ever since.

On selecting Option D

• Player: Tell me about the Camulet.
• Aristarchus: I'm afraid I've only heard rumours of it, but here's what I know.
• Aristarchus: When Akthanakos came to Gielinor and took on the aspect of a man with a camel's head, he made an amulet that allowed him to understand camels.
• Aristarchus: Using it, he even trained some of the native camels to fight for him. Their name, "Ugthanki", is derived from his.
• Aristarchus: Since he disappeared, however, it is said that the Ugthanki became more violent, and started attacking travellers.

Option 2

• Player: Why should I care about what happened thousands of years ago?
  • Aristarchus: Because those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
  • Aristarchus: Knowing something about history can prevent you from making mistakes that people have made before, you see?

Option 3

• Player: Who are you?
  • Aristarchus: I am a librarian from the great library of Menaphos. I left to travel the desert and learn more of its history.
  • Aristarchus: Unfortunately, the plague of Sophanem prevents me from returning to the library.
