Yesterday saw the release of Desert Treasure 2 – The Fallen Empire in Old School RuneScape – the MMO’s first Grandmaster quest since 2019.
A sequel to the classic Desert Treasure quest released back in 2005, Desert Treasure 2 – The Fallen Empire sends players back to the depths of the Kharidian Desert to explore a vault connected to the fallen Zarosian empire where they’ll once again get caught in the plans of the mysterious Mahjarrat.
As many RuneScape players will know, the lore in Old School RuneScape frequently deviates from the stories told in its modern counterpart due to its being created from an August 2007 archive. This means any quests released after this date, King’s Ransom being the last, are not present in Old School RuneScape, allowing the developers to not only craft stories unique to Old School, but to take the ones which overlap in a different direction.
