Eastern Lands (Regnus1)

The Eastern Lands is a members-only continent with various islands to the west which form a great number of islands protecting the coast of a China-like continent that is around the size of the Wilderness, Asgarnia and Misthalin.



History
During the first four ages (First Age, Second Age, and Third Age) the continent wasn't home of any intelligent race of Gielinor, but that changed when in the early Fourth Age when some human settlers from a mysterious land arrived to the east of the land and they started to build three clans, Nepatakra, Chinchuria and Chinyang, each one establish in different parts of the main continent. Later the Chinyang clan, formed the first kingdom after the founding of the city of Kitaroyama, then a time later they establish the towns of Koroshima and Shuxiang, in this last one is where Necrovarus and Ak-Haranu were born.

During the middle of the Fourth Age some people of Port Phasmatys arrived the area and founded the Oshurakan clan in the north of Chinyang and build town of Kerakotrum, some years later the Kingdom of Chinchuria was founded by the Chief of Yinkong, Hoang Xi who establish the monarchy in most of the east side of the continent, at the time the other two clans Oshurakan and Nepatakra establish their own kingdoms.

In the sixth year of the Fifth Age the kingdom of Chinchuria discovered rune essence in the mines near Fu-Hai village and started a new era with the born of oriental magic, ten years later Oshurakan discovered the gunpowder and enormous rune essence mines near the city of Noriyang this made the kingdom powerful enough to declare war to Chinyang and obtain the title of "The most Powerful Empire of the World", but they waited for the attack at the year of 169 of the Fifth Age (the actual year of RuneScape) they attack only some days after the Ak-Haranu sailed to Port Phasmatys and captured the city of Sintoyama, plus, started attacking Shuxiang through the sea, the situation is critical soon the city of Shuxiang could fall in Oshurakan hands. The history continues with the Eastern Lands Series of Fake quests.
