''For information on Taverley prior to the [[31 January]] [[2012]] update, please see [[Taverley (historical)]].''
[[File:Taverley_lodestone_icon.png|left]]
The village of '''Taverley''' lies to the North-west of [[Falador]] and is the westernmost province of the kingdom of [[Asgarnia]]. The town is the often described as the druidic hub of [[Gielinor]] as most of its residents are [[Druids]], although the area has recently seen an influx of citizens from [[Burthorpe]] that had lost their homes to the [[Troll]] invasion from the north.

Taverley makes up part of the [[Troll Warzone]], which is the tutorial as of 31st January 2012, and regularly sends supplies to the neighboring [[Imperial Guard]] to aid in their struggles against the trolls, although several [[Pompous Merchant|War profiteers]] have attempted to take advantage of this situation.

Much of the town is centered around the theme of nature, houses, bridges and furniture seem to be grown from the very earth itself, the mill is powered by the river running through the centre of the town, and the local pub and other buildings are even constructed with large trees still growing in the center. In fact, the only major man-made structures appear to be impressive wall to the east, bordering the Troll Warzone from the rest of Asgarnia, and the few wells dotted about the town.

Taverley is available to [[members]] only and houses the starting point of several quests, including [[Wolf Whistle]], [[Druidic Ritual]] and [[Let Them Eat Pie]], and also houses the entrance to the [[Taverley Dungeon]]. Much of the area can easily be seen by using an [[Orb of oculus]] in free play.

Since the update every skill can now be trained here making it an excellent place for players to develop their skills. With the number of close banks it will also unlock many money making opportunities. The POH portal is located right across the street from the Rogues Den making it an excellent place to level construction. As there is already a teleport option to this area, higher level players may want to place their POH in another area to increase their teleport locations. Players of all levels are sure to find some very good points of interest here, ensuring that this area will be a very popular location.

==Travel==

*To the north lies [[Burthorpe]] and [[Death Plateau]]
*To the south-east lies [[Falador]] - players can get there either by climbing over the crumbling wall (5 [[agility]] required) or via the gate to the north-east of Taverley
*To the west lies [[White Wolf Mountain]], which can be dangerous for new players to cross, and beyond lies [[Catherby]] - players who have completed the [[Fishing Contest]] quest can use the tunnel to the north-west of Taverley to go under rather than over White Wolf Mountain
*Taverley may also be reached via the [[Balloon transport system]]. This provides ready access to Taverley from [[Varrock]] (by the [[Earth altar]]), [[Entrana]] (west side of the island), [[Crafting Guild]], [[Castle Wars]] (to the east & north), or from the [[Tree Gnome Stronghold]]. Note to reach Taverley requires 1 set of [[Logs]] after unlocking the route.
*If a player's [[Player-owned house]] is in Taverley they can teleport there with [[Teleport to House]]. If the [[Love Story]] quest has been completed, players can use a [[Taverley tablet]] (made from a chipped Teleport to House tablet) to teleport to the Taverley house portal, even if their house is located elsewhere.
*If the Taverley [[Lodestone]] has been activated, a player may teleport there via the[[Home Teleport| Home Teleport]] spell.

==History==
===Origin===
[[File:Taverley stone circle.png|200px|thumb|The Stone Circle.]]Between the years 1 and 200 of the Fourth Age, The Druids of Guthix erected a stone circle slightly north of the site now named Taverley. It is unknown whether the Druids had already settled at Taverley before they erected the stone circle, or whether had already erected the Stone Circle before settling at Taverley. Taverley was definitely created by the Druids, as it seems to have grown out of the ground. Evidently the ability to grow houses, as well as furniture is an art which has been lost even to the Druids over the course of time.

The Tunnels below Taverley were most likely discovered sometime near the end of the Third age, or the beginning of the Fourth age, when Zamorakian Disciples wandered into the cave system, and inhabited one of the few empty or near-empty caves. Later on, a group of Druids either rebelled and were forced to enter the caves, or stumbled on the caves by accident and were converted into believing in Guthix and Zamorak by the Zamorakian Disciples, before inhabiting another near-empty cave and erecting an altar slab for sacrifices to their deities.

In Year 2,000 of the Fourth Age, Rune essence is discovered. The Druids will learn the art of magic soon after, and will use for years, for defensive purposes, until present day, 169 Fifth Age.

Today, Taverley makes up part of the [[Troll Warzone]], and regularly sends supplies to the neighboring [[Imperial Guard]] to aid in their struggles against the trolls, although several [[Pompus Merchant|War profiteers]] have attempted to take advantage of this situation. The area has also seen an influx of citizens from [[Burthorpe]] that had lost their homes to the [[Troll]] invasion from the north.

===History===
'''Year 8:''' Modern Falador was established by [[King Raddallin]] with aid of the [[White Knights]] and [[Kinshra]], two rival knightly orders founded in the late Fourth Age. The Druids were protected by the White Knights, allowing them to live without fear of invasion.

'''Year 42-62:''' The runecrafting crusades begin. Barbarians from the Fremennik province launched a brutal crusade against the arts of [[magic]] and [[runecrafting]], saying they are fit only for the Gods. Due to the fact that they had almost reached Varrock by Year 62, it is almost definite that the Druids would have been pillaged by the Barbarians, as they were known magic users, and over the ice mountain, right next to Taverley, was probably the way the Barbarians came, as a road leads from Taverley to Varrock, the Barbarians final destination.

'''Year 162-163:''' King Vallance, the current ruler of Asgarnia, fell ill. Sir Amik Varze of the White Knights took temporary control. Tension between both the White Knights and the Kinshra, and the White Knights and The Imperial Guard increased, and civil war threatened.

'''Year 164:''' Civil War between the Kinshra and The White Knights sparked. The goblins of northern Asgarnia, with the exception of the [[Thorobshuun]] and [[Garagorshuun]], invade Taverley under the instruction of [[Lord Sulla]]. Many of the houses of Taverley are burned and some twenty Druids are killed. After the [[War of 164]] ends, Taverley is re-populated and restored.

==Notable features==
[[File:Taverleyportal.png|left|thumb|Taverley's house portal.]]
*[[File:Taverley_Farming_Patch.png|thumb|The farming patch.]]The entrance to the [[Taverley Dungeon]] lies to the south of Taverley - this is the third largest dungeon in the game (behind the [[God Wars Dungeon]] and [[Brimhaven Dungeon]]), and features some powerful monsters to train on.
*The [[Heroes' Guild]] lies to the north of Taverley, where players can train [[Ranged]] or [[Magic]] on a captured [[Blue dragon]], and recharge their [[Amulet of glory]] or [[ring of wealth]] in the [[Fountain of Heroes|fountain]] if they have completed the [[Heroes' Quest|Heroes Quest]].
*The [[crystal chest]] is located in [[Ivy Sophista]]'s house (players can open it if they have a [[Crystal key]], which is made by joining a [[Loop half of a key]] and a [[Tooth half of a key]]). Opening the chest will always yield an uncut [[Dragonstone]], and usually some other items.
*There is a [[Herblore]] shop run by [[Jatix]] that sells [[vial]]s and [[Eye of newt|eyes of newts]] - if players obtain some [[Goutweed]] from the [[Troll Stronghold]] or by growing it from a [[Gout tuber]], they can exchange it for other high level [[herb]]s with [[Sanfew]].
*There is a [[Player-owned house|house]] portal in Taverley - players can move their house here if they have [[construction]] level 10 and 5000 [[coins]].
*[[File:Taverley_Market.png|thumb|Taverley Marketplace.]]There is a wood-tree patch, used in the [[Farming]] skill, watched by [[Alain]].
*South of the town is a magic patch used to grow a magic beanstalk during [[Grim Tales]] quest.
*Just to the north lies an [[altar]] of [[Guthix]] if players need to recharge prayer points.
*There is a [[Pet shop]] south of the quest start of [[Wolf Whistle]] [[quest]].
*[[Kaqemeex]] will sell you a [[Herblore cape]] and [[Pikkupstix]] will sell you a [[Summoning]] [[Cape of Accomplishment|Skillcape]] for the price of 99,000 [[coins]]

==Trivia==
*In the book, [[Betrayal at Falador]], Taverley is misspelled as "Taverly".
*As of [[31 January]] [[2012]], both Taverley and Burthorpe have been graphically overhauled.
*Previously, there was a glitch in which a gate opposite the pet shop would cause the players to immediately stop in their tracks. Clicking on the gate to continue walking would not shut the gate and would give the player a message saying "Nothing interesting happens." This has since been fixed and the gate is now permanently open.
