The town of '''Taverley''' lies to the North-west of [[Falador]] and is the farthest west players can go in the kingdom of [[Asgarnia]]. It lacks a [[bank]], but it is a starting point for several quests, and houses the [[Taverley Dungeon]]. Most of the humans in Taverley are [[Druid]]s, followers of [[Guthix]] that live close to nature. Taverley is available to [[members]] only. However, you can easily see much of it using an [[Orb of oculus]] in free play.
==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.

==History==
===Origin===
[[File:Taverley stone circle.png|right|thumb|Taverley's Stone Circle, the last [[Guthix]]ian 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. The end of the Fourth Age, Start of the Fifth age.

===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.
