'''West Ardougne''' is a [[members]]-only city and part of the capital of [[Kandarin]]. It is only available to players who have partially completed the [[Plague City]] quest. It has been badly stricken by a mysterious [[plague]] which has been claimed to have been brought into the city on its king's last visit. This plague is deadly and will kill anyone who is not wearing [[Gas mask|appropriate clothing]] while inside the city. Its neighbouring city, [[East Ardougne]], is an opposite, being one of the wealthiest cities in RuneScape. West Ardougne is ruled by [[King Tyras]], although he left the city just before the plague struck to adventure the forests of [[Tirannwn]].

In addition to the plague, West Ardougne is also known for containing the entrance to the [[Underground Pass (dungeon)|Underground Pass]].

==Entry==
There are very few ways to enter West Ardougne:

*Through the pipe under [[Edmond]]'s house (during and after [[Plague City]]).
*During [[Biohazard]], the entrance from Plague City becomes sealed and the player must use a shortcut over the wall via [[Omart]]. After returning the [[distillator]] to Elena, Omart prevents the player from using the rope ladder as it is too risky.
*If [[Biohazard]] has been completed, the player can pass through the main gate from [[East Ardougne]].
*Coming from [[Tirannwn]] via the Underground Pass.
*Casting [[West Ardougne Teleport]] from the [[Arceuus spellbook]].

==Points of interest==
There are some interesting places in West Ardougne to explore.

===Civic Office===
The [[Civic Office of West Ardougne|Civic Office]] is the government body of West Ardougne. It is managed by [[Bravek]], the city warder, and it is in the centre of the area.

===General Store===
The [[West Ardougne General Store]] supplies normal general store items. It is operated by [[Chadwell]] in the south-west part of the city.

===Graveyard===
A graveyard with many tombstones. [[Ghost]]s and [[Zombie (common)|Zombies]] patrol the yard but are quite low levels, and the numerous tombstones make it difficult to get from one monster to the next. This can be countered by using ranged or magic, which allows you to use the tombstones to your advantage. This makes the zombies an underrated spot to train ranged or magic at medium levels, or for someone seeking a [[Zombie champion scroll|champion scroll]].

===Church===
The [[Saradomin]]ist West Ardougne Church. It contains an [[altar]] to recharge your [[Prayer points]].

===Residential area===
A housing area containing [[Men]], [[Women]], [[Rat]]s, NPC children and NPC [[civilian]]s. If you talk to one of these civilians, they will buy a [[cat]] or [[overgrown cat]] from you for 100 [[death rune]]s (200 if you have completed the easy [[Ardougne Diary]]). It is located near the graveyard.

===Other facilities===

*An [[anvil]] in the north of the city - Use in the [[hard Ardougne Diary]] task: ''Smith a Dragon sq shield in West Ardougne''. 
*A [[range]] in a north-eastern building.- This can only be accessed after [[Biohazard]]
*A [[sink]] in the same building as the range
