'''Gnome Gliders '''are a useful method of [[:Category:Transportation|transportation]] available after completing [[The Grand Tree]] [[quest]]. The most common way to quickly access them is by [[Teleportation|teleporting]] to [[Al-Kharid]] with a [[duelling ring]], an [[Amulet of Glory]], or the Home Teleport Spell if you have activated the lodestone in Al-Kharid. They can fly to many locations and can be used in combination with [[Spirit tree]]s and the [[Fairy ring]] network.

== Transportation ==

Gnome Gliders are located at:[[File:Glider map.png|thumb|The Glider Network map.]]

* Ta Quir Priw - [[Grand Tree|The Grand Tree]] Of Wisdom and Grace.
**Top level - Usual destinations.
**2nd level - [[Ape Atoll]] only ([[Crash Island]]) - talk to [[Daero]] (at Blurberry's Bar on the east side) after [[Monkey Madness]] quest.
* Gandius - South of the [[Ship yard]] on [[Karamja]], access to [[Jogre]]s. West of the ship yard is a crashed glider used only during [[The Grand Tree]] quest. Can be used to access [[Shilo Village]].
* Kar-Hewo - [[Al Kharid]]; very close to [[Lumbridge]] and a [[Canoe]] station, which, in turn, can bring the player close to the [[G.E.]] or the [[Fairy ring]] network.
* Sindarpos - The peak of [[White Wolf Mountain]]. Allows quick access to [[Taverley]] and [[Catherby]]. Inversely, the Glider network can be accessed quickly by using [[Camelot teleport]] or using the Catherby or Taverley Lodestones and running to this glider. However, this place is dangerous to low-levelled members.
* Lemantolly Undri - Western Feldip Hills (To access this location players must have done [[One Small Favour]] to the point which you inform Sanfew of the Gnome Glider's willingness to take him to the Feldip Hills. You do '''not''' need to complete the quest or talk to the Gnome Glider again to access this area if you have spoken to Sanfew.) Easy access to [[Fairy Ring]]s just south-east.
* Lemanto Andra - Just west of the [[Digsite]] near [[Varrock]]. (Note: The glider will crash and players cannot fly back on it). Fast access to [[Paterdomus]] or Digsite.
* Priw Gnomo Andralo - Just outside the entrance to the Tree Gnome Village maze. (To access this location players must have completed [[The Prisoner of Glouphrie]])

== History ==

Gnome gliders were first envisioned by [[Oaknock]], the famed [[gnome]] engineer and advisor to [[King Healthorg]] that was present at the [[Battle of Atarisundri]]. Although he made progress in designing rough layouts and models, Oaknock passed away before any true advancements could be made.

His equally talented son, [[Yewnock]], picked up glider design where his father left off. Although little is known of the early testing phases, some gnomish captains today, such as [[Captain Ninto|Ninto]] and [[Captain Daerkin|Daerkin]], were amongst the first to test the gliders. That they survived is an indication of Yewnock's abilities.

Gliders soon became an integral part of gnomish transport and military. Despite their success, initially [[human]]s distrusted the devices, as equally as the gnomes disputed the safety of giving humans access to the technology. Made out of only leather, cloth, and wood, it is not until the plot of [[The Grand Tree]] [[quest]] that they can be used. [[Gnome Air]]'s success has since spread, leading to the recent construction of [[gnomecopters]].

Recently, gliders butted heads with [[Ali Morrisane]]'s [[magic carpet]] fleet over air rights. They now compete for supremacy. Gnome gliders seem to have the upper hand outside of the [[Kharidian Desert]], as the gliders can reach up to 5 different areas. Gnome gliders can take you almost anywhere.

== Trivia ==

*If you translate the locations with the Gnome translation guide from the [[The Grand Tree|Grand Tree]] quest, you will get very interesting (yet accurate) results. Ta Quir Priw, the Grand Tree, translates to 'The Guardian Tree'. Gandius, on Karamja, translates into 'jungle'. Kar-Hewo, in Al Kharid, translates into 'no grass'. Sindarpos, on White Wolf Mountain, translates into 'big rock'. Lemantolly Undri, in The Feldip Hills, translates into 'stupid man lands'. Lemanto Andra, at the digsite, translates into 'man city'. Priw Gnomo Andralo roughly translates to 'Tree Gnome City'.
*Sometimes at the top of the Grand Tree, Captain Errdo will not be visible, although players may still interact with him.

*GNOME Pilot tools is a Linux package used in some IMAP email clients.
*The glider on the top floor of the Varrock Museum has not received a graphical update yet.[[File:Invisible_captain_errdo.jpg|thumb|invisible Captain Errdo]]
