Deep within the Kharidian Desert, south of Shantay Pass, unrest is growing within the cities of Menaphos and Sophanem. (http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=2702) With the threat of the Devourer still lurking in the shadows, the High Priest of Icthlarin has deemed it time to make contact (http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=2928) with the citizens of Sophanem who had fled to Menaphos in the face of the recent plague. Thus far his attempts have proved futile, however, as Menaphos remains wary of the contagion and refuses to comply. Perhaps all is not lost, though! Perhaps some brave soul will step up to this challenge and help out the High Priest! They will need to be well versed in the ways of the desert lands, having survived Icthlarin's Little Helper (http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=1824) as well as Gertrude's Cat (http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=1817) and Prince Ali Rescue (http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=1753). Adventurers with a desire to help should brave the desert as far as Sophanem (http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=2702) and seek out the High Priest in the shade of the temple found in the south-west of that city.
Be prepared for what an ancient dungeon full of dangerous high-level creatures might throw at you. Rumour has it that certain sturdy inhabitants of this town have recently vanished during attempts to make contact with those over the river, so folk afraid of physical danger should probably steer well clear of this mission. Especially likely to come to a sticky end are those who rush in blindly and unprepared, though the careful and nimble explorer might find that success comes relatively easily. Those who prove themselves in this task can expect not only generous Thieving and Combat experience, but a new weapon that will prove most potent against Kalphites (http://kbase.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/viewarticle.ws?article_id=2670) and other, as yet mysterious, foes. These rewards will come from both the High Priest and more unexpected sources; will you be among the first to experience them?
Make sure to pack your lantern, tinderbox, food, and plenty of guts, though maybe not your life savings. You'll need them for one of the most dangerous places in RuneScape!
(No, honestly, we really mean that.)
