Dorgesh-Kaan banner

Dorgesh-Kaan is the capital city of the Dorgeshuun tribe. It was released to players 20 March 2007.

Dorgesh-Kaan can only be accessed after completion of Death to the Dorgeshuun quest. It seems likely that further quests in the series will reveal more about the city.

You can get to the city by first going from the Lumbridge Castle cellar to Dorgeshuun Mine and then south past Mistag and the weapon shop. If you want to skip the walk back, talk to Mistag he will bring you to Lumbridge Cellar again. You can also do this when travelling to the Dorgeshuun Mine by talking to Kazgar.

Introduction[]

During the God Wars, the Dorgeshuun were a war-like race. Eventually, they grew tired of the constant fighting and refused to fight for their god any longer. To punish them, their god, Bandos, banished them beneath the surface. Once there, they abandoned their violent way of life and slowly, over thousands of years, built Dorgesh-Kaan.

With no war or difficulties from the outside to hinder its growth, Dorgesh-Kaan has become one of the largest cities in RuneScape. Built entirely in the swamp-like Lumbridge underground, it is much different from the rest of the world.

Transportation[]

There are multiple ways of accessing Dorgesh-Kaan, although compared to other cities, it is in a bad position with poor access.

  • Players may enter the crack in the eastern wall of the cellar of Lumbridge Castle, through which Kazgar waits to lead players through the Dorgesh-Kaan mine. The entrance to Dorgesh-Kaan is just to the south of where Kazgar leaves the player. Note that in order to follow Kazgar through the mines, the player is required to bring a light source.
  • The city can be accessed from the Kalphite Hive through the Dorgesh-Kaan South Dungeon to the south of the city, although a light source is required.
  • There is a fairy ring in the dungeon to the south that may be accessed with the code AJQ. A light source is needed in the dungeon.
  • The Dorgesh-Kaan - Keldagrim Train System may be used to travel to Dorgesh-Kaan from Keldagrim by rail, and vice versa. The tickets are free; a player only needs to wait less than a minute in the carriage for the departure. The train station is located on the 1st floor[?], in the south-west corner of the city.
  • A player may use a Dorgesh-kaan sphere, obtained from Oldak, for a one-click teleport to the city.

Trivia[]

Listen to audio.
The jingle that plays when you enter the nursery. (link)
  • If a player enters the nursery in Dorgesh-Kaan's middle level on the eastern side, a unique jingle will play.
  • Dorgesh-Kaan has many aspects in common with the book The City of Ember. The lightbulbs break in both cities, and they both are powered from a mysterious magic generator which breaks down periodically.
