“Exile, you must leave our province. Our people will no longer see you as their brother...”~ Brundt the Chieftain
The Fremennik Exiles
The Fremennik bards often sing tales of the past. Of great battles, deadly foes and heroes long gone. However, in recent years, things have been much quieter in the Province, as there’s increasingly less to sing about. All that is about to change though, as what starts off as a simple investigation soon leads to one of the greatest threats the Fremennik have ever seen.
The next instalment in the Fremennik questline is here! Every feature in the poll blog passed, so you can expect to see all of them in-game! If you haven't read the blog yet, make sure to check it out for some words from Mod Wolf and Mod Ed who wrote and developed the quest.

Island of Stone
The Island of Stone has a new dungeon available after the quest is complete. It contains dagannoths, basilisks and basilisk knights. The dagannoths are split across three rooms which are multicombat with cannons allowed. The basilisks and basilisk knights are each split across two rooms which are singleway combat with no cannons allowed. The basilisk knights, featured in the quest, can be fought after completion as part of basilisk slayer tasks. They have a better drop table including a unique item called the basilisk jaw. If killed off-task, the drop rate of the jaw is lower.
Neitiznot Faceguard
The Neitiznot Faceguard is the Helm of Neitiznot combined with a basilisk jaw. The Neitiznot Faceguard is untradeable and requires 70 Defence and completion of The Fremennik Exiles to wear. The helm can be freely reverted at any time and will convert to the normal Helm of Neitiznot plus the jaw if lost in PvP. It has the following stats:

Do you have what it takes to save Rellekka from the basilisks?
