Yu'biusk as it appeared in the distant past.

Yu'biusk is the original homeworld of the goblins, as well as other races such as the ogres, orks, and hobgoblins. Goblins believe that when their high priests died in the sacred tomb of the Goblin Temple, they would transfer to an afterlife in Yu'Biusk.[1][2]

According to Grubfoot's dream, it was originally a cool and wet place, covered in marshes, swamps, and other wetlands. As far as the native goblins were concerned, they did not know warfare.[3] However, at some point, Yu'biusk was discovered by the god Bandos, who moulded them into warriors and indoctrinated them to live for battle and worship for himself above all else.[4][5]

During the God Wars, Bandos brought the various Yu'biuskian races to Gielinor to fight for and bring glory to his name.

Yu'biusk as it appears today, ravaged by war.

Following Bandos' banishment from Gielinor at the end of the God Wars, he took his anger out on Yu'biusk's inhabitants and eventually made the planet desolate and barren.

During the Land of the Goblins quest, the player travels with Zanik and Oldak through a fairy ring to Yu'biusk in hopes of bringing the goblins to a peaceful world, only to find it torn asunder contrary to Grubfoot's visions. After opening a strange coffin-like box, Zanik disappears, and the others are forced to go back through the portal as it closes. The box has the symbol of Bandos printed on it.

Players can return to Yu'biusk after the quest is completed by using the fairy ring code BLQ. However, there is no sign of Zanik other than the strange box that she disappeared into. Interestingly enough, the fairy ring in Yu 'biusk is a portal, instead of the usual fungi.

Treasure Trails

  • Digging anywhere in Yu'biusk (after completion of Land of the Goblins) is the solution to a hard cryptic clue: The Big High War God left his mark on this place.

Beyond the icelands to the north, beyond the mountains to the west, beyond the oceans to the south and the deserts to the east. But it is also close. Wherever goblins fight in the name of the Big High War God and their blood spills on the ground, Yu'biusk is close. My predecessor told me that no living goblin has ever gone to Yu'biusk. If no living goblin can go there, then perhaps the dead can."
