'''Aldarin''' is a large island off the south-west coast of [[Varlamore]]. It is a lush and luxurious location, inhabited by wealthy citzens who live in villas, though its rocky south and west coasts are inhabited by [[Dwarf (race)|dwarves]] and [[Bandit (Varlamore)|bandits]].

The island is most known for the famous [[Moonrise Brewery and Winery]], the oldest producer of alcohol in Varlamore. It is also home to the main facility of the [[Alchemical Society]], an organisation of herbalists who fuse techniques left behind by the [[Old Ones]] with traditional druidic practices to advance the study of [[Herblore]].

==Transportation==
There are several ways to reach Aldarin:
* Using the western ship from [[Sunset Coast]]. Requires paying [[Antonia]] 20 [[coins]].
* Using the [[Quetzal Transport System]].
* Using [[charter ships]].
* Casting [[Teleport to house]] if the [[player-owned house]] is in Aldarin; otherwise a [[Teleport to house tablet]] with a [[Scroll of redirection]] (requiring 35 construction), or the [[Construction cape]].
* Using [[Fairy Ring]] {{Fairycode|CKQ}}.
* North Aldarin teleport via the [[Pendant of ates]] (Requires completion of [[Death on the Isle]] and subsequent activation of the North Aldarin statue).

==Points of interest==
===Alchemical Society lab===
In the main facility of the Alchemical Society, the player can partake in the [[Mastering Mixology]] minigame that offers [[Herblore]] experience and unlocks several related rewards, such as the [[prescription goggles]], [[reagent pouch]], [[potion storage]], [[chugging barrel]], [[alchemist's amulet]] and several potion packs. [[Aldarium]] can also be bought from here, which is a secondary ingredient for [[Goading potion|goading]] and [[Prayer regeneration potion|prayer regeneration potions]].

===Villa Lucens===
The largest villa on the island. Owned by [[Constantinius]], the quest [[Death on the Isle]] takes place here.

===Market===
Contains a [[Portal (Player-owned house)|house portal]] and three shops:
*{{plink|Aldarin General Store|pic=General store icon}}
*{{plink|Faustus' Fruit and Veg|pic=Food shop icon}}
*{{plink|Toci's Gem Store|pic=Gem shop icon}}

===Moonrise Brewery and Winery===
The [[Moonrise Brewery and Winery]] is famously known for their unmatchable variety of wines that are sold at [[Moonrise Wines]], and also own the [[Sunlight's Sanctum]] pub just east.

The facility possesses a [[fermenting vat]] that is usable by players, as well as a large field of grapevines which can be harvested when ripe if you have a [[grape barrel]] in your inventory, which can be obtained after talking to the [[vineyard foreman]]. After picking ripe grapes from 4 bushes, the player may hand in the full grape barrel to the vineyard foreman, which will reward the player with 5 noted [[grapes]].

===Mistrock===
A mining outpost located on the southern coast of Aldarin. [[Overseer Khougo]] manages the operations there.

A [[Mistrock bank|bank]] can be found here, as well as many [[maple tree]]s and [[yew tree]]s. There are three shops found here:
*{{plink|Mistrock Mining Supplies|pic=Mining shop icon}}
*{{plink|Stick Your Ore Inn|pic=Pub icon}}
*{{plink|Shields of Mistrock|pic=Shield shop icon}}

===Mysterious Nest===
There is a [[Nest (nice)|nest]] that sits at the top of the windmill that players can interact with, similar to that of the [[Woodcutting Guild]]. Instead of using [[Bird's egg|eggs]] from [[bird nest]]s, players can use any item from their inventory on the nest, and upon world-hopping or relogging, players may retrieve a different item to that they input.

===Darkmoon Ravine===
Darkmoon Ravine is currently an [[Inaccessible areas|inaccessible area]] on the west side of the island. There are a few [[Bandit (Varlamore)|bandits]] roaming the area. There is also a [[jug of wine]] in one of the buildings, and some [[seaweed]] on the north coast, one of which can be [[Telekinetic Grab|telegrabbed]].

===Sunlight's Sanctum===
[[Sunlight's Sanctum]] is a pub opposite to the [[Aldarin bank]] near the fountain in the centre of Aldarin. Owned by the Moonrise Brewery and Winery, they provide travellers with meals and a large variety of alcholic drinks.

==Resources==
* Three [[magic trees]] are located along the north-western coast of the isle, and three [[yew trees]] are located along the north-eastern coast.
* Two yew trees and 27 [[maple trees]] can be found around [[Mistrock]]. These are notably only about 10-15 tiles from a bank.
* A [[hops patch]] is located directly next to the fairy ring.
* A mining site exists on the south end of the island to the east of Mistrock, containing 5 [[gold rocks]], 5 [[silver rocks]], 6 [[coal rocks]], and 8 [[iron rocks]].
* A [[wheat]] field and [[windmill]] are directly next to the Quetzal Transportation System waypoint.
* [[Ruby harvests]] may be caught to the west of the vineyard, and [[copper longtails]] may be caught to the north.
* The north coast of the island has fishing spots for [[Fishing spots|small net]] and [[Fishing spots|bait]] fishing as well as the south coast for [[Fishing spots|cage]] and [[Fishing spots|harpoon]] fishing.
* A [[loom]] is located in a shack just north-west of the fairy ring.
* [[Chest (Aldarin Villas)|Thievable chests]] in two of the villas containing various items such as gems.

==Charter ship==
The [[charter ship]]s also have a dock in the harbour in Aldarin. It provides rides to several other locations. After completing [[Cabin Fever]], the charter ship fare is reduced by 50%. Wearing the [[ring of charos(a)]] also reduces the fare by 50%. These two bonuses can be stacked to reduce the cost to 25%.

==Trivia==
* The mysterious nest atop the windmill is likely a reference to Dark Souls' Hawk Girl, who is known by the larger community as Snuggly the Crow. Players can exchange certain items with Snuggly by dropping them by her nest and reloading the area.
