Development
Boelryn was introduced with the purpose of using a monarch other than King Narnode Shareen, so as to protect Shareen and keep the close link between the actual RuneScape universe and the Gieliverse intact.

It was not realised until after the 2009 - 2011 hiatus that Boelryn's name was derived from the present King of the Tree Gnome Village, King Bolren, so their naming similarity was worked into the storyline from "Land of Former Glory". After the hiatus, it was also decided to give Boelryn a more prominent role to play, rather than simply instructing the other gnomic protagonists on what to do.
