A long time ago, the Wise Old Man of Draynor Village won instant wealth and notoriety by robbing his local bank. Since then he's lived fairly peacefully in his little house, under constant surveillance from the bank staff and his nosy (and hideous) neighbour. But the world has not forgotten this elderly hero, and the time has come for him to embark on one final quest to bring his adventurous career to a fitting conclusion...
Jump on the little boat moored in the river west of the Gnome Stronghold and travel northwards to the coast where you'll find a struggling fishing colony under attack from vicious sea trolls. Herman Caranos, the director, needs a highly qualified adventurer to help save his colony from ruin. If you meet his exacting standards, you could earn yourself a large reward (including prayer xp) and gain access to a new area with a bank where you can catch an entirely new kind of fish!
swan song: A person's final deed or performance before their retirement or death. This is based on the traditional folk-tale that a swan sings a beautiful song just before it dies.
In other news...
Following feedback from players about the Wilderness changes in last week's update, we've flattened the area near the Greater Demon ruins.
Lava in the Wilderness should no longer block you from ranging across it.
The new volcano at the north-eastern end of the Wilderness is now a multiway combat area.
The "Crumbling tome" you find during the In Aid of the Myreque quest has been renamed to "Battered tome" because it was being confused with the crumbling tome found near the Barrows.

You get a bank, (well a banker dude that doubles up as a general store guy)
You get the ability to fish monkfish, which give like 120 xp fishing and 150 xp cooking. It heals for 16 hp too, and it's as fast as fishing lobsters (though it is 62 fishing and 62 cooking) and certainly faster than sharks. So they would replace lobsters as training food, pretty much.
You also get the ability to fight Skeletal Mages, which are very good xp.
You also get a furnace, which might possibly be the second fastest bank-to-smelt behind Port Phasmatys.
You get two seaweed spawns (well not really spawns, you collect them from the nets) and it is reportedly to be faster than Entrana.

Wow, sounds like a great quest. How long did it take you to finish it, start-finish?
About 2 hours, without a guide or any help, not including the final battle.

But due to this laptop and my dad's usage of it and in the middle of a quest, no image saving softwares :\
This would mean I'd have to open paint, save the rs screeny, paste it, save it, upload it, and put it into the guide as I was writing it. Not very productive at all.
I'll just write the text and someone could put in the screenies.
