'''Zanaris''', also known as the '''Lost City''', is the home of the [[Fairy (race)|fairies]] and is the moon of [[Gielinor]].{{CiteNPC|npc=Konar quo Maten|quote=Zanaris is the moon of this world.}}{{CiteNews|url=https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/qa-summary-07042022?oldschool=1|title=Q&A Summary 07/04/2022|newsdate=12 April 2022|quote=Yep, the moon is called Zanaris and the city there is also called Zanaris.|notes=Question #31}} Accessed during the [[Lost City]] quest, the settlement is notable for bearing several amenities, such as a marketplace to buy a [[dragon longsword]], or the highly useful [[fairy ring]] transportation system.

The entrance to Zanaris is located in the [[Shed (Lumbridge Swamp)|shed]] in [[Lumbridge Swamp]]. It is the city of the fairies and can only be accessed once the [[Lost City]] quest has been completed. The city, in all likelihood, is deep underground.{{CiteTwitter|author=Mod Ash|url=https://twitter.com/JagexAsh/status/964574157395591168|date=16 February 2018|archiveurl=https://archive.is/ZnPst|archivedate=29 May 2020|quote=The fairy queen has a line about there not being sunlight "down here", so it does sound like it's a cave in whatever realm it's in.}}

==Travel==
The [[fairy ring]] code for the main portal in Zanaris is {{Fairycode|BKS}}. Zanaris can also be accessed by wielding a [[dramen staff]] or [[lunar staff]] and entering the small hut in the middle of [[Lumbridge Swamp]], north-west of the [[Mining tutor]] in the [[East Lumbridge Swamp mine]]. Players can also gain access via [[The Abyss]] to the [[Cosmic Altar]]. 

There is a one-way fairy ring to [[Al Kharid]] bank from the market area.

==Quests==
The [[Lost City]] quest is a pre-requisite to visiting Zanaris. Both [[Fairytale I - Growing Pains|Fairytale Part I]] and [[Fairytale II - Cure a Queen|Part II]] naturally require visits to the land of the fairies.

==Notable features==
===Fairy rings===
*The [[fairy ring]] is located south of the water fountains and west of the farm field (code {{Fairycode|bks}}). Activating the ring while carrying a [[dramen staff]] or [[lunar staff]] will open a combination window to enter a code to go to other fairy rings elsewhere in [[Gielinor]].
*The other two original fairy rings in Zanaris are exit rings only:
**There is a fairy ring in the market area that leads to just behind [[Al Kharid]] bank.
**The northern fairy ring leads back to [[Lumbridge Swamp]]s.

===Bank and shop===
There is a [[Zanaris bank|bank]] in Zanaris, close to a [[general store]].

===Market area===
[[File:Zanaris market entrance.png|thumb|The magic doors to the market.]]
The market area lies to the east of Zanaris and costs one [[diamond|cut diamond]] to get in. The gatekeeper will stop players with any sacks from entering.

Here, players can buy [[dragon dagger]]s for 30,000 coins, and [[dragon longsword]]s for 100,000 coins, from [[Jukat]]. Players must have completed the [[Lost City]] quest to be able to wield these powerful weapons.

There is also a [[Irksol_(shop)|jewellery shop]] here that sells [[ruby ring]]s starting from 1,012 coins each, which may be enchanted into [[rings of forging]], useful for [[Smithing|smiths]] with a large amount of iron to be smelted.

There are also two yew trees for [[Woodcutting|woodcutters]], and [[Lunderwin]], who will pay 100 coins for cabbages.

Finally, the exit from the market is to the north-east of the market area; by entering the fairy ring, players will find themselves behind [[Al Kharid]]'s bank. Players cannot return back.

===Cosmic Altar===
The [[Cosmic Altar]] lies to the south of Zanaris. There are two [[Shortcuts|Agility shortcuts]] that allow faster access, requiring 46 Agility for the medium shortcut and 66 Agility for the advanced shortcut. Players will take 4 damage if they fail these shortcuts.

===Crafting===
Near the wheat field inside the city are several [[cow]]s that are reasonably close to the [[bank]].

There is also a [[sand pit]], which is used in glassblowing. If you already have [[soda ash]], the [[furnace]] to the north may be useful for making [[molten glass]] at the same time as collecting [[sand]].

===Cooking===
There is a wheat field and a nearby windmill, so flour is easy to make here. There are also several fountains for collection of [[water]], though these are by no means the closest water-sources to a bank in the game. There is also a [[cooking range]] to the south of the bank.

Among the [[cows]] near the wheat field is a milk cow, and in the windmill, there is a churn. Combine that with the [[bucket]] spawn near the windmill and the nearby bank, and all the requirements for making [[butter]], [[cream]] and [[cheese]] are present.

===Slayer===
[[File:Zanaris throne room.png|thumb|The [[Fairy Mafia]] and the Slayer master.]]
[[Chaeldar]] is the fourth highest level [[Slayer Master]], and requires a minimum [[combat level]] of 70 to take tasks from.

===Evil Chicken's Lair===
{{Main|Evil Chicken's Lair}}
By using a [[raw chicken]] with the shrine of the [[Evil Chicken]] near the entrance from [[Lumbridge Swamp]], players gain access to the [[Evil Chicken's Lair]] with 4 [[black dragon]]s and a [[baby black dragon]] as well.

Mining rocks are also available. Using a rope on the tunnel entrance leads to a small chamber with dragon eggs and the baby black dragon.

===Other features===
*There is a [[yew tree]] to the north-east of the bank.
*There is a [[furnace]], but its distance for the bank makes it of little use for anything except possibly glass-making, making use of the nearby [[sand pit]].
*Near the [[Cosmic Altar]], players can gain access to [[Tanglefoot]] creatures seen in the [[Fairytale I - Growing Pains|Fairytale Part I]] quest, as well as [[Mutated Zygomite]]s.
*When players are in Zanaris, they'll often notice strange things happening. Sometimes, a frog or a small [[Zanaris choir|choir]] will come to annoy them, rain clouds can appear over their head or they'll get a sudden urge to dance.
*Players may also be turned into a chicken, pig, or rabbit for a second.
*In the middle of the wheat field is a permanent crop circle to the [[Impetuous Impulses]] minigame.

==Trivia==
[[File:Zanaris Evil Chicken Lair.png|thumb|right|The lower level of the Evil Chicken's Lair as seen from southern Zanaris.]]
*Using the [[New Official Client]]'s expanded draw distance, it is possible to see the lower level of the [[Evil Chicken's Lair]] from the southern edge of Zanaris. This is because Zanaris, like all areas not on the overworld map, is actually located on a section of the world map north of the [[Wilderness]] which houses all of the underground and other non-surface areas of the game.
*The [[Zanaris choir]] will follow players into random events.
