This left the city's central government weakened, allowing the White Knights to gain political supremacy. In the Year 162, King Vallance, now very old, fell ill. Falador, like the other settlements in Misthalin and Asgarnia, was forced to defend itself for fear that Elvarg would attack the mainland. This caused a brief period of political turmoil due to the loss of the city, which had previously been an important city-state. In the Year 139, Crandor was completely destroyed by the dragon Elvarg. He continued the prosperity that his father had started, and soon Falador had gained strength and importance nearly equal to that of other significant human settlements such as Varrock and Crandor. The White Knights established themselves in a castle in Falador while the Black Knights were given a fortress on the nearby Ice Mountain.Īfter Raddallin's death, his son, King Vallance took the throne. Although the nobility was unaware of it, the White and Black Knights had secretly been rivals even before they came to the aid of Falador. King Raddallin, though the city's ruler, always was forced to compete with the White Knights and Black Knights, both of whom sought to increase their political influence in the area.

With their aid, the kingdom of Asgarnia was born. This was made possible with the help of two orders of knights: the White Knights and the Kinshra, also known as the Black Knights. Radallinn, the leader of one of the area's nomadic tribes, sought to establish a permanent settlement in the area with the help of the newly discovered runestones. As no evidence of Falador's existence shortly before the discovery of Rune Essence can be found, it is safe to presume that the Fourth age kingdom was defeated, presumably by Goblins, although the date of this is unknown. Falador has a fairly large population, making it the fourth largest city in the game after Ardougne, Varrock and Meiyerditch. Modern day Falador was founded in the Year 8 of the Fifth Age, although the Museum of Natural History states that Falador existed in some form since the mid- Fourth Age, and the surrounding areas were ruled from it.
