Lovakengj

Lovakengj (/ˌloʊ.və.ˈkeɪn/ loh-və-KAYN^[1]) is one of the five cities in the Kingdom of Great Kourend, which resides in a volcanic area exclusively inhabited by dwarves. One of the three cities founded in the history of Great Kourend, Lovakengj was founded by Yonrith Lovakengj,^[2] the leader of a dwarven army allied with Saradomin that fought against the Zarosians at Lassar during the God Wars. Today, the city is led by Lady Vulcana Lovakengj of the Lovakengj House.

As one of the five cities of Great Kourend, the city is responsible for providing military equipment for the Shayzien Army; their main export are ores found by blasting rocks with dynamite in the Blast Mine, in addition to Shayzien armour, which is made from lovakite, a unique metal found only within Lovakengj.

Since the establishment of trade routes between Great Kourend and the mainland, Lovakengj has established contact with the Mining Consortium of Keldagrim, though they offer nothing notable to Lovakengj.^[3] In the past, the city once had maintained contact with the imcando dwarves in the southern kingdom of Varlamore, who reside in an underground city beneath the Ralos' Rise. However, they lost contact with them centuries ago,^[4] presumably during the War of the Five Houses.

The Sulphur mine is located in the north-western section of Lovakengj. Volcanic sulphur deposits are found here. Breathing filters like the gas mask or facemask must be equipped to reduce damage taken from toxic gases in the mine.

The lovakite mine is located south of the sulphur mine and is the only place where lovakite ore can be obtained. A bank can be found within the mine, making it a good place to mine coal.

The Lovakengj mine is a small mine found north-west of the southern bank. Four iron rocks, six coal rocks, and one mithril rock can be found here.

The blast mine at the north of Lovakengj is the location of the blast mining minigame, which requires 43 Mining. It is run by operators who clean the player's blasted ore, returning ore based on the player's Mining level.
