Forinthry Ossuary

The Forinthry Ossuary is a temple located just inside the border separating Misthalin and the Wilderness. Despite many centuries of abuse, it has survived into modern times, and most recently has been the site of much activity.

History
Construction of the temple now known as the Forinthry Ossuary first began near the end of the Second Age. It was intended to be a place of worship for those who followed the god Zaros. By the time it was finished built though, Zaros was seemingly destroyed, and before long the temple itself was completely abandoned.

When the God Wars started the temple was all but forgotten. It remained nestled high atop the Forinthry Cliffs, hidden from those below until it was discovered by happenstance. Refugees who had fled their homelands came across the temple, which by now had fallen into disrepair, and decided to rebuild their lives within its walls.

In time the now restored temple became home to much more than just simple refugees and runaways: scholars, artists, and philosophers came to the temple and immediately began cataloguing their works as to preserve the knowledge of their age and those that came before. To accomodate, a section of the temple was renovated and made into a library of sorts. There they stored what they could and prayed it would survive what would come.

The temple was nearly destroyed along with the rest of Forinthry when Zamorak brought about its destruction. Somehow it survived, albeit with considerable structural damage, which its occupants struggled to restore. When the God Wars were ended they ultimately decided to quit and start anew somewhere else. Once again the temple was deserted.
