Taverley (Members)
Introduction
The town itself is composed of buildings in odd shapes, more reminiscent of the curves of an elaborate pipe than a house.
The town also boasts a mightily impressive stone circle, where the druids gather to worship Guthix.
Location
West across White Wolf Mountain is the town of Catherby, where many adventurers pause to work on their Fishing.
Just south of the town, its entrance hidden in a forest of dead trees, is the ominous and deadly Taverley Dungeon.
Points of Interest
The stone circle, north of the town, is not just for decoration, or for the druids to pay their respects - there is an altar to Guthix there which adventurers may pray at to restore some divine favour.
There is also a house portal for those who have chosen to make Taverley their home.
Personalities
 Sanfew is the wise leader of the druids, and it is his duty to ensure that they do all they can to maintain the balance that Guthix embodies. His primary interest is in returning the stone circle south of Varrock to the worship of Guthix.
|
 The job of maintaining the stone circle falls to Kaqemeex, a particularly reliable druid with many years experience making potions and tending to herbs. Because of this duty he is also working with Sanfew to restore the desecrated stone circle of Varrock.

 Children are not a common sight in RuneScape (with adventurers rushing about slaughtering everything that moves, it is understandable that their parents keep them hidden away), but the boy in Taverley has nowhere to go. He has lost his favourite ball into the witch's garden and will not be able to have any childish fun without it.
|
 The old woman that lives in Taverley may be a witch, but she is obviously not the particularly evil kind. She is more interested in experimenting than in simply turning people into toads (if she was in that line of business the boy that keeps kicking his ball into her garden would be less boy and more toad by now). To be fair, though, she doesn't seem to be a huge fan of the druids...

 Austri is the dwarf that guards the entrance to the dwarven tunnels beneath White Wolf Mountain, and is an essential contact if you wish to avoid the cold dangers of the mountain.
|
 Pikkupstix is the head of the Summoning branch of druidic life; a formidable summoner, he holds the skillcape and will be willing to sell you one, if you are sufficiently skilled. Beneath his house stands the primary Summoning obelisk, a conduit for power great enough to pull creatures from other planes of existence to serve their master.

|
| Austri can be found near the entrance to the dwarven tunnels, north-west of the town. | Pikkupstix can be found inside his home in Taverley, east of the town centre. |

Things in White
 The wolves that White Wolf Mountain is named for are dangerous beasts, and more than likely to cause trouble for people on their first journey across the mountains. They survive the cold of the altitude by gorging on the flesh of those foolish enough to come unprepared.
|
 Though the druids of Taverley are peaceful by nature, they are also imbued with a small part of Guthix's powers which can make them a surprisingly difficult foe for adventurers expecting an easy fight. They occasionally use Magic to defend themselves, but mostly they seem to prefer good old fisticuffs.

|
| White wolves, curiously enough, can be found on White Wolf Mountain, west of Taverley | Druids can be found throughout Taverley. |
Miscellaneous
- If you intend to train Herblore, you will need to complete the Druidic Ritual quest.
- There are a couple of tea stashes in the town: one in the house north-east of the herbalist, the other on a table in the south of the town.
- Upstairs in the house north-east of the herbalist, someone has rather carelessly left a shortbow.
- Swamp toads can be gathered along the shore south-east of town.
- There is a king worm spawn point near the cabbage patch. King worms are slightly nutritious by themselves, but fantastic when used in gnome recipes.
- There is a mysteriously locked chest in one house in Taverley which, rumour supposes, can only be opened by a key of purest crystal.
