West Ardougne is the side of Ardougne that has been quarantined due to concerns of the plague that seems to be infecting its citizens. It features prominently in the quests Plague City, Biohazard, and Underground Pass. Its ruler is King Tyras, however, he seems to be falling out of favor with the people. The city is in a particularly dire state compared to East Ardougne, with many rats scurrying around; rotten apples, animal skulls, ashes, fungi, and fallen trees also litter the ground.
