Economy War

The Economy War was the name given to the event that nearly caused a world war.

Trigger Points
King Lathas, the insane king of East Ardougne, planned to dominate the world. He had been plotting for years, and had been slowly draining the money from the rest of the world. He used the money to build up an army and gain Zamorakian allies. He also managed to convert the Paladins of Ardougne to Zamorakism, and equip them with godswords.

He also planned to use the Grand Exchange Link to teleport his armies all over the world, but the link was destroyed by Bruce Brysworth. He had also allied himself with some mountain monks and even some sapient birds.

The war itself was truly started when The General and Lathas had a scuffle. The Socialists invaded Ardougne.

The Battle
As the Socialists invaded, using powerful weapon known as lava launchers, Lathas fought back by sending his paladins against them. Soon after, a Zamorakian army arrived. TzHaar-Kot-Tok summoned the TzHaar army, with the TzTok-Jad leading them.

The TzHaar and the Socialists worked together, but the Zamorakians were able to teleport the Jad away. Tarqinder and his 13 allies also fought, and infiltrated the castle. They confronted Lathas, where Dancus Frumac and Robert Bandano died. It was also revealed that Harmon Reeves was plotting against Lathas as well. When the wizard Henry sacrificed himself, Lathas was defeated.

The Zamorakians and Paladins had retreated, as their leader was gone. Lathas wasn't dead, but sent to West Ardougne instead.
