Yu'biusk is a world within the multiverse that is separate from Gielinor. It was originally the home of a number of species, including the goblins, ogres, orks, hobgoblins, fayrgs, raurgs and ourgs.
According to Grubfoot's dream, it was originally a cool and wet place, covered in marshes, swamps, and other wetlands. Its original inhabitants lived primitive lives and although they had small skirmishes and conflicts, organised warfare had not yet been invented.
At some point, Yu'biusk was discovered by the god Bandos, who, after seeing the people of the world as savages, decided to give them civilisation as he knew it, and declare the world as his. During the God Wars, Bandos brought the various Yu'biuskian races to Gielinor to fight for and bring glory to his name. Following Bandos' banishment from Gielinor he took his anger out on the Yu'biuskian tribes. Some of these tribes he would manipulate and deceive while others just took advantage of weakened tribes and attacked them. Eventually this led to the construction of fire-raining weapons - weapons the likes no other world has seen according to Bandos. These weapons were what eventually tore Yu'biusk asunder and made it what it is today.
According to the goblin Strongbones, Yu'biusk is not a place on RuneScape. It is another plane of existence. No goblin alive today has ever been there. It is many millennia since Bandos brought their ancestors from Yu'biusk, but the call to that plane is still strong in them. If barriers between the planes were ever to be broken, goblin blood would call out to open a portal to Yu'biusk.[1]
During the Land of the Goblins quest, the player travels with Zanik and Oldak through a fairy ring to this now-barren place in hopes of bringing the goblins to peace. After opening the strange box, Zanik disappears and the others are forced to go back through the portal as it closes. The strange box has the symbol of Bandos printed on it. Players can return to Yu'biusk after the quest is completed by using the fairy ring code BLQ. However, there is no sign of Zanik other than the strange box that she disappeared into. Examining the box reveals that it looks like it never had a way of opening up. Interestingly enough, the fairy ring in Yu'biusk is a portal, instead of the usual fungi.
Zanik remained trapped in Yu'biusk until the quest The Chosen Commander, in which she escapes and teleports herself to Dorgesh-Kaan while the player fights Merchant Walton. Zanik explains that a box leading to Bandos's throne is in Yu'Biusk, and time moves at a matter of seconds to our days. After completing the quest The Chosen Commander, the strange box may be used to teleport to the exact spot in Bandos's throne room where Zanik is seen unconscious up to the point in the quest when players can control her.
According to Zanik after the Chosen Commander quest, Oo'glog is somewhat similar in climate and geography to Yu'biusk as it originally was. Oldak has expressed his belief that nothing can be done to mend Yu'biusk. He speculated that, in thousands of years, it may become habitable again, but nothing can be done to speed the process up until then.
Additionally, Yu'biusk is involved with the Hopespear's Will miniquest. After defeating all five of the goblin priests (Snothead, Snailfeet, Mosschin, Redeyes and Strongbones) without armour, and having obtained all of their bones, their bones are then buried anywhere within Yu'biusk for bonus Prayer experience, except Bandos' arena on Yu'biusk.
Teleport to there by fairy ring code BLQ.
