'''Lassar''' was a Zarosian fortress built on what is now known as Ice Mountain. Nothing remains of the fortress, it is assumed to have been destroyed during the God Wars. It may be that the black knights rebuilt the ruins into their own fortress, or built their fortress by cannibalizing materials from the ruins, explaining why there are no other traces of ruins on the mountain.

==History==
Lassar, during its years of service in the [[Second Age|Second]] and early Third Ages, was a massive fortress on the edge of Zaros's main kingdom. Its main features, according to [[Azzanadra]], were impressive spires. It existed atop what is now known as [[Ice Mountain]], a large mountain in northern [[Asgarnia]]. At the time, Asgarnia is believed to have been much colder than it is today, yielding snow year-round; yet nearly all of it had been settled by the Zarosians.

Lassar was likely near the edge of Zaros's largest kingdom, which, at the very least, encompassed the entirety of the [[Wilderness]], [[Misthalin]], and Asgarnia (although it is speculated that it could have included nearly all of [[Gielinor]]). Lassar most likely served primarily as an outpost, which could protect the area against invaders. It is unlikely that it served as a realm of transport, as Ice Mountain was far more dangerous than it is today.

When Zaros was overthrown by the [[Mahjarrat]] [[Zamorak]], his kingdom was beset by many religious and racial factions that had suffered under his rule for many years. Lassar was most likely destroyed within the first thousand years of the war, although by whom is unknown.

==Lassar Today==
Today, no ruins remain of Lassar, and the fortress itself has been forgotten by all but a few. The only remains of Lassar may be the [[Icefiend]]s that wander the area. It is possible that these creatures were originally more powerful [[waterfiend]]s or relatives of the Icefiends that reside in [[Ghorrock]], created to help protect the fortress.

In the [[Fifth Age]], it was discovered that those with knowledge of the [[Ancient Magicks]] could teleport to the area where Lassar once stood, using the [[Lassar Teleport]] spell, with 72 [[Magic]], 2 law runes, and 4 water runes.
