Tylluan Hen

Tylluan Hen (pronounced /'təɬɨ̞an 'heːn/, meaning "Old Owl") is the Elvish name for an ancient creature of immense wisdom who has the form of a great owl. The Old Owl hails from the Crystal Plane, which is also the homeworld of Seren and the Elves before they were invited to Gielinor by Guthix. He had a close friendship with the goddess Seren, and accompanied her when she led the Elves to Gielinor; but after the Edicts of Guthix and the disappearance of Seren, he became more reclusive. At first he travelled the lands, returning to the Elves regularly; but after a few centuries he was seen no more.

He took up residence in Polypore Dungeon, and for those with the skill and fortitude to make their way through the perils of that vast cavern, there he was to be found for those who sought him out, and once roused from the long slumber with which he filled his days, he would gladly share his wisdom and knowledge of ancient lore in exchange for news of the wider world.

Early in the Sixth Age, a young elf in Lletya had a dream in which was seen that Tylluan Hen was in grave peril; and, setting out to find him, it was found that Tylluan Hen was indeed gone, and there was evidence of Zamorakian involvement. Indeed it soon became apparent that Tylluan Hen had been taken by the Zamorakians for they believed he might have knowledge of the whereabouts of Seren. The elf attempted to track him down and eventually managed to find him, but she was herself captured by the Iorwerth Clan, narrowly escaping. The whereabouts of Tylluan Hen remain unknown, although his rescue is a priority of the private organisation styled the Delegation of Seren.
