The Eastern Lands or Eastern Realms are a region said to exist in the far east of Gielinor, across the sea from Morytania. They are currently inaccessible, but will be released eventually. This was confirmed in a Q&A. "It is intended for the eastern lands to be released in the future. However, there is lots off other lands we want to create before hand, like Acheron, the Elven city and Menaphos."
[edit] Description
Very little is known of the Eastern Lands, and the information that is known greatly varies in nature. Only a handful of characters mention it, leading some to question its very existence. However, it seems that it will be based on medieval Asia.
According to the Mysterious Old Man, the people of the Eastern Lands are famed for their complex toys and puzzles. While exploring it, the Mysterious Old Man happened upon a strange box, which he kept with him. He soon discovered, though, that it magically multiplied constantly, so now he gives them away.
The ghosts of Port Phasmatys are known to trade with the Eastern Lands, although their trade has diminished greatly since their town was conquered by Necrovarus, who is said to have been born there. Ak-Haranu, a trader found in the port's docks, also claims to have come from the Eastern Lands. Ak-Haranu appears to wield a katana, and many players believe he is a samurai of some sort.
Kamfreena, located in the top of the Warriors' Guild, says that Harrallak Menarous, the owner of the guild, went on an expedition to the Far Eastern Lands and brought along with him the Cyclopes, often killed for the Rune Defender.
In an issue of Postbag from the Hedge, Reldo of Varrock expresses his beliefs that the Eastern Lands are a myth. Many far-fetched tales surround them, leading him to believe they are merely the subject of children's tales. One text on the Eastern Lands describes 'Grate fiery beastes enwrapt in poisons' and 'one-legged, one-eyed men of lymestone.' This leads him to believe that, if they are real, they are very far from Morytania, far beyond Dragontooth Island.
