Morvran Iorwerth is a Slayer Master, curator of the Rush of Blood D&D, and the nephew of the late Lord Iorwerth. He can be found in the Iorwerth Clan district of Prifddinas. He is the third highest level Slayer Master, requiring 85 Slayer, a combat level of 120, and completion of Plague's End.

Players can easily reach Morvran by teleporting to the Iorwerth district of Prifddinas via a crystal teleport seed, a ferocious ring, or a Slayer cape, or by teleporting to Prifddinas via the Prifddinas lodestone and walking south-west.

He appears during the Regicide quest but attempting to talk to him results in "Nothing interesting happens."

Slayer points

The amount of Slayer points gained by completing tasks depends on the amount of consecutively completed tasks, and whether Smoking kills has been completed or not.

Slayer points awarded by Morvran

Smoking Kills	Points per task	Points per 10th task	Points per 50th task
	20	100	300
	10	50	150

Completing 50 tasks assigned by Morvran grants an average of 32 points per tasks, if Smoking kills has been completed.

For obtaining the of the Iorwerth title, a player must successfully complete eight dark beast Slayer tasks assigned by Morvran. Co-op dark beast assignments will count, as well as tasks obtained with the helm of darkness; however, players cannot use a dark beast enhancer or helm of darkness while on a co-op task. Both players must have the same task before getting into a co-op or both players must have no task to be able to receive a co-op assignment.

Slayer challenge

Main article: Slayer/Challenges § Morvran

Morvran offers a unique Slayer challenge occasionally. There is no penalty for refusing this challenge. It is also possible to pay 100 Slayer points to have him assign the challenge once per week. Morvran's challenge is for the player to slay the following bosses once each:

Bosses
Giant Mole (hard mode)
Kalphite Queen
Dagannoth Kings (all three)
King Black Dragon
Queen Black Dragon
Kree'arra
Commander Zilyana
K'ril Tsutsaroth
General Graardor
Araxxi

Upon killing each boss the player will acquire dark crystals in their inventory. These debuff the player, by reducing their damage dealt and amount healed or increasing the damage that the player takes, for the remaining bosses. Although the crystals can be banked, the player must carry all collected crystals while killing the remaining bosses or they will not progress through the challenge. It is therefore advised to tackle harder bosses first and finish with easier bosses. If the backpack is full after killing the boss, the dark crystal will need to be claimed from Morvran.

Moreover, if another player is in the vicinity, the kill is not awarded regardless whether it was actually soloed or not. Deathtouched dart kills do not count towards the challenge. The player should ensure lootshare is disabled, and that they are not in a group.

Once the last boss is killed, the crystals will be sent straight to Morvran, and the player will be rewarded with 50,000 Slayer experience and 45 Slayer points (if the quest Smoking Kills is completed), along with usual points from the player's current completed tasks. Each completion of Morvran's challenge increases the cap of black crystals obtainable at once by one.

Task weighting

A dynamic calculator for task weight can be found here.

The percentage chance of getting assigned a given Slayer task can be calculated using the formula

$\frac{w}{S}\times 100\mathrm{\%}$

where $w$ is the task's weight and $S$ is the sum of all weights for the particular Slayer Master. Note that the weights of all blocked tasks—as well as tasks toggled off—have to be subtracted from the sum $S$. For Morvran, assuming all possible assignments are available, $S$ = .

Preferring a task makes it approximately twice as likely to be assigned for the first assignment choice, but it does not affect the weighting of the second assignment choice provided by a Slayer VIP ticket.

History

During the Elven Civil War, he was Head of Intelligence for the Iorwerth Clan and, along with Essyllt, led a warband whose duty was to assassinate enemies. He is very skilled at slaying, as he states that he can kill any beast if he wanted to with ease. Morvran makes his first appearance in Regicide. When the adventurer exits the Underground Pass, a member of the elf resistance known as Idris attempts to ask them what they are doing in elven lands. Morvran and Essyllt ambush and kill Idris, and tell the player to speak to Lord Iorwerth before disappearing into the woods.

When the war ended and Lord Iorwerth was killed by the Dark Lord, Morvran relinquished his position as next-in-line for lordship, allowing Iestin Edern to lead the Iorwerth clan. He stated that it was unconventional, but necessary for the clan. During his travels in the war, he met Kuradal. Kuradal taught Morvran many things about the rest of the world, and in return, Morvran taught her secrets that were closed off from the rest of the world. He also decided to become a slayer master, as he was impressed with her talent. The two are on fairly good terms, as Kuradal supplies Morvran the monsters for his dungeon.

Despite knowing that the war was unjustified, he states that he was just following orders. He claims that his targets were all of military value and he never resorted to the use of torture.

During The Light Within, Morvran reluctantly grants the adventurer access to his dungeon so the adventurer can enter the Grand Library to retrieve the Seren shard of darkness.

Trivia

• Prior to the release of Plague's End, Morvran's examine text was "An elven warrior." He has the same one as Essyllt now.
• The word Morvran is made up of the Middle Welsh words mawr, meaning "big", and brân, meaning "crow". The name is parallel to the Celtic spelling, Morfran, with only the f changed to a v. The Older Welsh usage is likely due to Jagex's usual use of the Welsh language in most of the elven names in the game. Morvran is often depicted in Welsh mythology as a dark, demon-like character that is very ugly.
• In his warbands gear, both his eyes can be seen intact through his visor.
• If attempting to talk to Morvran in his warbands gear, a standard "Nothing interesting happens." message is shown.
• When assigned elves as a Slayer task from him, Morvran's tip will state that he does not advocate the slaying of his brethren. He will instead encourage the player to fight the warriors located around Prifddinas, as they enjoy being tested in combat.
