Draynor benefited from this and, along with Lumbridge and the rest of southern Misthalin, became part of a large agricultural region known as the Breadbasket of Misthalin. The bridging of the Lum encouraged the growth of trade in southern Misthalin, and settlements in areas such as Al Kharid, Karamja, and Entrana grew rapidly as a result. Polonius encouraged the rapid growth of the area, and bridged the River Lum, earning the settlement its name of Lumbridge. In the year 1937, the fort in what is now Lumbridge was granted to the Misthalanian noble Polonius by King Claudius. These crops, like many grown in the region, were distributed throughout Misthalin and, by way of the Southern Sea and existing trading ports such as Port Lina and later Port Sarim, the civilised human world. Draynor Village's fertile farming grounds allowed to it produce vast quantities of crops such as potatoes, wheat, and onions. Although the nation was constantly invaded and attacked, the military strength of Varrock managed to repel most threats, although with difficulty. Although the Village lived in constant fear of Count Draynor, this fear was evidently not enough to dissuade the settlement's modest growth.Īs the late Fourth Age progressed towards the Fifth Age, Draynor Village became one of many successful agricultural communities in Misthalin. Because he lacked the authority or power to exact organised blood tithes like the vampyres of Morytania, these attacks had to be done covertly and sporadically. Regardless, in the years to come, the village was regularly terrorised by Count Draynor as he sated his constant need for blood. A display in the Varrock Museum's second floor indicates that Draynor Village may not have been referred to as such until as recently as the last hundred years. Because they settled so close to the Manor, they may have adopted its name without realising its meaning confusion regarding Count Draynor's race, nature, and history have circulated even into the modern Fifth Age, so such a mistake would not have been overly difficult to believe. The most likely scenario is that later settlers were aware of Draynor Manor to the north, but were unaware of its inhabitant or nature. At the same time, if a village already existed in the area, it is unlikely that it would have adopted Draynor's namesake. Given that Count Draynor was regularly forced to feed on the blood of local humans to survive, but at the same time was very weak, it is unlikely that Draynor declared any type of control over the area upon arrival. It is unclear at this point whether Draynor Village, albeit under a different name, existed at the time Count Draynor arrived in the area. Draynor took up residence in a large manor north of the modern village, which he aptly named Draynor Manor. He eventually managed to reach the area that is now Draynor Village, along with a vampyre servant known as Ruantun. Draynor, greatly weakened by his separation from his people in Morytania, was forced to flee west to escape the rapidly-growing development of eastern Misthalin. Sometime during the Misthalin - Morytania War of 1100 to 1200, the vampyre noble Count Draynor of House Drakan was banished from Morytania by his brother Lord Lowerniel Vergidiyad Drakan, the recently-established overlord of Morytania. Draynor Village is under the administration of Varrock, due to the fact that it is part of the kingdom of Misthalin. For free players, Draynor Village offers a great willow woodcutting spot just south of the bank and good ranging targets in the south-east while members enjoy having several stalls as well as a Master Farmer to steal from. Draynor Village is a small village between Falador and Lumbridge.
