'''Drakan's medallion''' (known as '''[[Mysterious medallion]]''' before enchantment) is an item rewarded from [[The Branches of Darkmeyer]].

It provides teleports around [[Morytania]], including the following locations:
[[File:Burgh de Rott coffin.png|thumb|right|250px|Down in the cave, the player may search this coffin for the medallion.]]
*[[Burgh de Rott]], south of the bank, right next to the cave where you recharge it, practically giving it unlimited charges.
*[[Meiyerditch Dungeon]], in the Laboratory.
*Into the [[Meiyerditch]] [[Myreque]] hideout, after [[Safalaan]] initially modifies it.
*[[Barrows]], after [[Vanescula Drakan]] fully unlocks the medallion's power.
*The upper tier of [[Darkmeyer]], in the antechamber to the [[Blisterwood tree]]'s [[Arboretum (location)|chamber]], after Vanescula fully unlocks the medallion's power.

Teleporting between these places, or from the general Morytania area (including [[Canifis]], [[Port Phasmatys]], [[Mos Le'Harmless]], and underground areas) to any of them, does not use any charges and may be done when the amulet has 0 charges. However, teleporting out of [[Temple Trekking]]/Burgh de Rott Ramble, from [[Paterdomus]], or any other part of ''RuneScape'' uses one charge. Therefore, if one wants to save or negate the need for charges, it is a good idea to use the [[Ectophial]] to teleport to Port Phasmatys and then use the medallion to teleport to the desired location. This effectively gives the medallion an unlimited amount of charges.

The medallion has 10 charges, and can be recharged by dipping it into the blood pool, in the cave where the medallion was originally found. The cave is found just south of the bank in Burgh de Rott. Upon charging it, you receive the message, ''You dip the medallion in the pool. The symbol glows as it recharges.''

The medallion is extremely useful for teleporting about Morytania, since no charges are used when teleporting in most places there. It allows quick banking at Burgh de Rott and quick [[prayer]] recharging at the [[altar]] in Darkmeyer. This is particularly useful for players doing [[Barrows]], as banking and prayer recharging are both needed to do multiple runs of that [[minigame]]. Be aware that the [[Vyre]]s in Darkmeyer will attack a player going to the altar there unless the player is wearing the [[Darkmeyer disguise]]. However, [[Protect from Melee|Protect from]]/[[Deflect Melee]] will completely protect the player from the attacks.

== Trivia ==
*On release, teleporting from the slime pit, from inside the [[Barrows]], or within the [[Shade Catacombs]] caused the medallion to use a charge. All locations have now been fixed.
*Using the medallion at the Ectopool will also use a charge. It is unclear if this is a bug or not.
*This item has the most teleport charges on a rechargeable item, tied with the [[Sceptre of the gods]] and the [[Skull sceptre]] (if assembled while wearing [[Varrock armour]]).
*The "Submerge medallion" option on the blood pool uses a space rather than a hyphen, unlike many other right click options.
*Thanks to this medallion you can teleport near the [[Blood altar]] and run there using almost the same amount of time as you would if going through the Abyss, yet there is no [[Player killing|PK]] danger in this method. If you were to use this method, be sure to exit the altar before teleporting, as then the medallion will not use a charge.
*Teleporting from the [[Abbey of St. Elspeth Citharede]] with the medallion will not use a charge. This is most likely due to its proximity with Morytania.
