RuneScape will soon run red with blood as The Lord of Vampyrium – the latest quest in the Myreque series – arrives with the next game update.

This week, we've got a few toothsome treats to tide you over until the quest hits: The Old Blood - a new Lores & Histories story – and Vampyre's Riddle – a deliciously dark mystery to puzzle your way through – plus a podcast and a wickedly wolfish Heist event.

Read on...if you dare.

Lores & Histories – The Old Blood

First up, there's an all-new Lores & Histories story featuring Lord Drakan himself as he hunts down Zarosian loyalists in the wake of Zamorak's betrayal – plus insights into Drakan's earlier life on Vampyrium.

You can read The Old Blood – and all our previous stories - on the Lores & Histories section of website.

We've also provided some spectacular wallpapers and a Twitter header to adorn your desktops and social media feeds. Enjoy!
