Long ago, before the vampyres were united as one, they lived in disparate clans in their ancestral home of Vampyrium. For the Drakan clan, strength ruled above all else. Clan leaders were selected during a brutal festival of combat known as the Night of the Blood Moon. Along with leadership of the clan, the victor of this festival was granted a title: they became known as the Blood Moon.
Now, thousands of years later, Lord Lowerniel Drakan, the last Blood Moon has returned. He has but one goal: to return his people to the old ways and reclaim his former title, even if he has to sacrifice every life in Morytania to do it.
For Drakan, this is the endgame. Failure is not an option and he does not intend to let anyone stand in his way. No matter what, the Blood Moon will rise once more.
The Myreque storyline has been one of the most beloved narratives in OSRS, captivating players with its dark themes, gripping twists, and unforgettable characters. Since its beginning, we’ve followed the Myreque’s desperate fight against the vampyres of Morytania, from their underground resistance in In Search of the Myreque to the climactic confrontation in Sins of the Father.
Now, after years of anticipation, we are thrilled to present The Blood Moon Rises, a Grandmaster quest that will serve as the end to this legendary tale.
This quest will take players to a new realm – the land of Vampyrium – where they will come face-to-face with Lord Lowerniel Drakan in a battle that will decide the fate of Morytania. Expect high-stakes storytelling, complex puzzles, and some of the most challenging combat encounters yet seen in a quest. Do you have what it takes to end the vampyre dominion once and for all?
Requirements
We’re still in the early stages of development, so we don’t have a full list of requirements just yet. What we can confirm is that you’ll need to have completed Sins of the Father and A Night at the Theatre. For skills, we’re looking at multiple requirements of level 70+ and would recommend a combat level of at least 110+.
Question #2: Should The Blood Moon Rises, a Grandmaster quest acting as the finale to the Myreque Saga, be added to the game?
Vampyrium: A New Frontier
The land of Vampyrium is a hostile and eerie environment that has remained unseen by mortals – until now! The realm where Vampyres were first born is dominated by jagged mountains, crimson rivers, and looming castles.
After completing the quest, players will be able to return to Vampyrium. We’re not looking at a massive expansion like Varlamore – think something slightly larger than the Stranglewood from Desert Treasure II. We’ll have more details later this year about what you might find in this inhospitable realm, but for now, we can confirm that we’re planning one major piece of content and several smaller ones, covering both skilling and PvM.
Question #3: If The Blood Moon Rises is added to the game, should we allow you to return to the land of Vampyrium after the quest?
A Dark Tale Comes to a Close
While the conclusion of the Myreque saga will bring about many changes, Morytania will remain the ominous and dangerous land it always has been. Victory may come at a cost, but for the first time, the people of Morytania will have a future!
The Blood Moon is rising. Are you ready to face it?
Stay tuned for more development updates as we prepare to bring The Blood Moon Rises to life.
