TzHaar City
Template:Infobox City The TzHaar City is a city located underneath the volcano on Karamja. It is home to the TzHaar, a golem-like humanoid race. This is where the TzHaar Fight Pit and TzHaar Fight Cave activities can be played, as well as the only city that uses the Tokkul currency. The TokTz-Ket-Dill and The Elder Kiln quests also heavily feature the city. The city is also notably the one of the few sources of Onyx in the game (other than kingly impling jars, the Squeal of Fortune, Nex, and the Queen Black Dragon).
Transportation
The main entrance to the city is on the top of the Karamja Volcano, which is located west of Musa Point on Karamja. It is west of the rock entrance to the Crandor and Karamja Dungeon.

Inhabitants
The TzHaar City features several different native inhabitants of the volcano, known as the TzHaar:
Name Combat level Occupation Attackable? TzHaar-Ket 149 Guards of the TzHaar race Yes TzHaar-Xil 133 Hunters TzHaar-Mej 103 Advisors; some are leaders of the city TzHaar-Hur 74 Craftsmen TzHaar-Hur-Lek N/A Runs the ore and gem shop No TzHaar-Hur-Tel Runs the weapons shop TzHaar-Mej-Roh Runs the rune shop TzHaar-Mej-Jal Guards the TzHaar Fight Cave. Banker. TzHaar-Mej-Kah Proprietor of the TzHaar Fight Pit. Banker. TzHaar-Hur-Zuh Banker TzHaar-Mej-Lor Librarian
None of the attackable TzHaar are aggressive. Be warned, the TzHaar-Mej and TzHaar-Hur may call for help from other TzHaar when attacked. It is dangerous to attack those two, as the entire city is a multicombat area. All of the attackable TzHaar drop Tokkul, and occasionally they will drop various items that can be obtained from the weapons shop.
There are several dead ends guarded by non-attackable TzHaar-Kets. When asked why players cannot pass, they are told that it is because the TzHaar citizens do not trust them enough to permit them further into the city yet. This may mean that these areas will become accessible in future updates, just as Dorgesh-Kaan (the city of the Dorgeshuun cave goblins) was made accessible when the Dorgeshuun council decided that they trusted outsiders enough.
With the release of TokTz-Ket-Dill quest, players were able to access some certain areas of the city, such as the library and the mines. The TzHaar language and numbering system was also introduced to players through this quest.
