'''Cam Torum''' is an underground city beneath [[Ralos' Rise]], accessible after killing the [[Sulphur Nagua (Perilous Moons)|sulphur nagua]] and then talking to [[Attala]] in the [[Perilous Moons]] quest. During and after the quest, players help subdue the [[Moons of Peril]] that are imprisoned under the city in [[Neypotzli]]. Attempting to enter the Cam Torum without having the quest's requirements will result in Attala turning the player away.

The city was founded by [[Imcando dwarves]]{{CiteNPC|npc=Attala|quote=Before Lovakengj, there was Imcandoria. Our ancestors there were forced to abandon their home, just as we were forced to leave Kourend.}} descended from [[Lovakengj]] refugees who fled [[Xeric]]'s rule during the [[Age of Strife]].{{CiteNPC|npc=Curator Herminius|quote=Finally we have the dwarves. These were refugees from Lovakengj who established a home beneath Ralos' Rise, becoming known as the Dwarves of Cam Torum.}}{{CiteNPC|npc=Attala|quote=The Varlamorians won't mention this, but we were the first to settle here. Our ancestors saw the writing on the wall when Xeric came to power in Kourend. They chose not to stick around.}} Though part of [[Varlamore]] geographically, Cam Torum appears to be equivalent to an independent [[Kingdom|city-state]], being governed by [[Highlord Katlo]] rather than [[Queen Zyanyi Arkan]]. Additionally, they do not appear to refer to themselves as of the Imcando, but rather as the "Dwarves of Cam Torum".{{CiteNPC|npc=Seer (The Darkfrost)|quote=...you should know that the Dwarves of Cam Torum take a different approach to worship than your kind.}}{{CiteNPC|npc=Blacksmith (Cam Torum)|quote=I am one of the Dwarves of Cam Torum, human!|loc=Perilous Moons}}{{CiteNPC|npc=Attala|quote=The Lovakengj dwarves have mostly forgotten their history., but we Dwarves of Cam Torum remember it all too well.}}

Despite having an alliance with [[Civitas illa Fortis]], the dwarves prefer to keep to themselves and are not particularly fond of humans, who they perceive as dangerous, arrogant, and short-sighted.{{CiteNPC|npc=Attala|quote=You have your virtues, but you have short sight and even shorter memories, which can be very dangerous.|loc=Perilous Moons}} As such, authorising humans to enter the city is often an exasperating task.{{CiteNPC|npc=Attala|quote=I am a key advisor to Highlord Katlo himself. Few dwarves hold as much sway as I do. Not just anyone can authorise the entry of a human.|loc=Perilous Moons}}{{CiteNPC|npc=Jessamine|quote=I work at the museum in Fortis. The dwarves have a begrudging alliance with the capital, and so they begrudgingly let me in. They demanded agreement to some absurdly expensive export deals in exchange, and even exclusive rights to some imports from the mainland. It took weeks of negotiation, and they still don't seem entirely satisfied.|loc=Perilous Moons}}

The city had at some point maintained contact with the dwarves of [[Lovakengj]] until some centuries ago,{{CitePostbag|issue=23|author=[[Lady Vulcana Lovakengj]]|letter=6|quote=There are a few other dwarves in Varlamore, but we haven't been in contact for centuries, on account of all the assassinations and wars and such.}} presumably during the [[War of the Five Houses]]. It is not known whether they had remained in contact with their brethren in [[Camdozaal]], but they appear to be aware of their demise in the [[Runecrafting Crusades]].{{CiteNPC|npc=Overseer Khougo|quote=The Imcando were our ancestors, but I thought they were long dead.}} As such, Cam Torum is the last city on Gielinor with a major population of [[Imcando_dwarf#Status|Imcando-descendants]].

==Transportation==
[[File:Cam Torum entrance.png|thumb|Cam Torum's entrance]]
The player must first travel to Civitas illa Fortis via [[Regulus Cento]] after completing [[Children of the Sun]] before other transportation methods become usable.
* Teleporting with a [[calcified moth]]. Requires partial completion of [[Perilous Moons]].
* Taking the [[Quetzal Transport System]] to the entrance of [[Cam Torum]], then running all the way north once inside. Requires having built the [[landing site]] there.
* Taking the [[Quetzal Transport System]] to [[the Teomat]], and then running around the west side of the mountain.
** Players with level 47 [[Agility]] may run south-east to the [[Rocks (Ralos' Rise)|agility shortcut]], then crossing the bridge west to the city entrance.

==Features==
===Cam Torum mine===
The [[Cam Torum mine]] contains a variety of ore rocks, notably having a formation of [[iron rocks]] suitable for [[Iron_rocks#Power-mining_Locations|power-mining]]. Uniquely, the mine contains [[calcified rocks]], which yield [[blessed bone shard]]s and [[calcified deposit]]s.

===Neypotzli===
{{Main|Neypotzli}}
[[Neypotzli]] is home to the imprisoned [[Moons of Peril]], and is accessed from the northern end of the city. The quest [[Perilous Moons]] heavily revolves around it, and serves as an introduction to the city and the prison itself.

===Guarded houses===
In the north-east and north-west corner of the city, there are two houses each manned by two guards. When attempting to enter either house the player will be stopped by a guard. They will explain that the player cannot enter, piquing the players curiosity. The player will guess that a "really large anvil" is being kept secret in the house which prompts the guard to issue a final warning. The player is given options to either leave, or ask if they are hiding a dwarf with a really long beard. Should the player ask about the long-bearded dwarf they will receive 10% current health damage. The guard will then ask the player to ask them again, resulting in a loop unless the player clicks away or selects the "Okay, okay! I'm leaving." option.

===Amenities===
* [[File:Bank icon.png|link=]] A [[Cam Torum bank|bank]] is found of the north-east of the market.
