Mourners are elves that have joined the Prifddinas Death Guard. They can be found in and just outside West Ardougne, in their headquarters in the same city, and walking from Prifddinas to Arandar. They were introduced with the Plague City quest, and play a large part in the Elven Civil War quest storyline. Those in the basement of the Mourner HQ can be killed for elf slayer assignments.

The Mourners at Arandar and in the Mourner HQ dungeon in West Ardougne (requires already having one mourner gear) can be killed for the Mourner gear they drop, required for Mourning's End Part I, Part 2, Within the Light and Plague's End. The mourners in West Ardougne have no drops.

After the events of Plague's End, they are replaced by Knights of Ardougne and elves, which have exactly the same stats, although they do not have the same drops and do not count for elf tasks.

Locations

• East Ardougne (non-attackable)
• West Ardougne (level 33)
• Arandar (level 79, 84 and 86)
• Death Guard HQ (level 85)

Update history

This information has been compiled as part of the update history project. Some updates may not be included—see here for how to help out!

• patch 18 August 2014 (Update):
  • Some Mourners and slave workers in the Temple of Light tunnels are no longer present after the completion of the Plague's End quest.

• patch 13 October 2009 (Update):
  • Improved script dealing with some of the mourners’ chat and related code.

Trivia

• Before a graphical update, the Mourners used to wear modern gas masks, instead of the more era appropriate gear they wear now.
• The Mourners are a reference to plague doctors from the Black Death epidemic during the 14th century.
• Before the Evolution of Combat, the mourners at Arandar would drain all your stats except Summoning to 20, including life points. This ability made them one of the highest hitting monsters in RuneScape. While wearing a full set of Torva, Pernix or Virtus equipment with 99 constitution and full life points they would hit for 1190 damage.
