Get ready for September's bloodiest update – The Lord of Vampyrium is here.

This Master-level quest is the sixth in the Myreque series. Can you help the brave band of freedom fighters take down the tyrannical Lord Drakan?

In an act unseen in living memory, Lord Drakan has appeared in public – an opportunity that the Myreque can't pass up.

This is their chance to take down the biggest of bads, and they need your help. Infiltrate Darkmeyer once again, and bring a blisterwood-tipped end to Drakan's reign of terror...if you can.

This is as dark and intense as RuneScape questing gets, and we hope you have a fang-tastic time. There's a full-blooded helping of rewards, too, including new blisterwood weapons and a cosmetic wing override.

If you haven't already, check out the latest Lores & Histories story – The Old Blood – to uncover some of Drakan's early history and get in the mood for the quest itself. You can also try the Vampyre's Riddle – a web-based mystery with some cool prizes up for grabs if you complete it by 21st September.

Have fun!
