	~~==Getting there==~~
	~~[[File:Barrows Map.png\|thumb\|right\|295px\|~~
	~~1. (Red) Using the [[Barrows Teleport]] ([[Barrows teleport\|tab]]) is the quickest route.<br/>~~
	2. (Blue, Green and Orange) Using the [[Grouping#Destinations\|Mort'ton minigame teleport]], [[Mort'ton teleport\|Mort'ton teleport scroll]] and [[Morytania legs 3]] & [[Morytania legs 4\|4]] are good alternatives to players who don't have access to the Barrows teleport.<br/>
	~~3. (Pink and Light blue) Travelling using the [[Swamp Boaty]] is a valid method for ironmen who don't have access to abovementioned options.<br/>~~
	~~4. (Yellow) Using the {{Fairycode\|BIP}} fairy ring is the longest of the routes, but takes the player close to the [[Nature Grotto]], which players can visit to restore their prayer points.]]~~

	~~There are several different methods for travelling to the Barrows. The best options, ordered from fast to slow, are:~~

	*Casting [[Barrows Teleport]] in the [[Arceuus spellbook]], which requires 83 [[Magic]], or using a [[Barrows teleport (tablet)\|Barrows teleport tablet]] or [[Portal Chamber\|portal]] will teleport the player right next to the entrance.
	*If the player is not an [[Ironman Mode\|ironman]], they may attempt to visit a [[player-owned house]] on a [[house party]] world with a [[portal nexus]] for a quick and cheap [[Barrows Teleport\|teleport]].
	*Using the [[Mort'ton teleport]] scroll and then running east to Barrows.
	*Using the [[Morytania legs 3]] or [[Morytania legs 4\|4]] to [[Burgh de Rott]] and running north through Mort'ton towards Barrows.
	*Using the [[Grouping]] interface to teleport to [[Shades of Mort'ton (minigame)\|Shades of Mort'ton]]. This requires completion of the [[Shades of Mort'ton]] quest. This method is free and takes up no inventory or equipment spaces, though there is a 20-minute cooldown between uses.
	*Use [[Drakan's medallion]] to teleport to [[Ver Sinhaza]], leave through the western door, run south-west to board the boat to [[Burgh de Rott]], and run north through [[Mort'ton]] to Barrows (requires completion of [[A Taste of Hope]])
	*[[Kharyrll Teleport]] (requires completion of [[Desert Treasure I]]) to [[Canifis]], use the [[Myreque Hideout]] shortcut south of the pub and run south to cross the rope bridge. Continue running south until reaching [[Swamp Boaty]] and use the travel option to travel to Mort'ton. Run east from here.
	*Using the fairy ring code {{Fairycode\|BKR}} and running south-east until reaching [[Swamp Boaty]] and use the travel option to travel to Mort'ton. Run east from here.
	*At 50 [[Agility]], players can use the fairy ring code {{Fairycode\|bip}}, go east, and south, following the path through Mort'ton.
	*Run east from Canifis, then south through the swamp. Turn east at the northmost hunter spot, loop around to the other nearby hunter spot, then run south-west to the swamp exit.

In the [[Miniquests\|miniquest]] [[His Faithful Servants]] players are tasked to slay all six Barrows brothers and then loot the chest for the [[strange icon]].

	==~~History~~==		==Location==
	~~The Barrows brothers were ancient warriors of [[Saradomin]] who established a reputation of near invincibility while fighting in the [[God Wars]].~~		{{LocationHead}}

	They launched a massive attack, known as the Morytania Campaign, to liberate [[Morytania]] from the clutches of [[Lord Lowerniel Vergidiyad Drakan]] and his [[vampyre]]s. As the brothers departed, a mysterious stranger granted them superhuman power to battle Drakan's forces, by supplying them with the weapons and armour now known as the [[Barrows equipment]]. It succeeded, for the brothers, who were in the front line, seemed invincible. They had not anticipated, however, that the stranger had ulterior motives for helping them.

	As the brothers and their accompanying army progressed further into enemy territory in [[Morytania]], the stranger followed them until the brothers became weakened. The brothers were grievously wounded in battle near the Great Vyrewall, and thus the army set up camp just west of [[Meiyerditch]]. Soon, the brothers died of their infected wounds simultaneously in the army's camp. The army quickly decided to retreat from Morytania, realising they could never succeed without their former leaders' prowess, but as a reflection of the brothers' bravery, they vowed to honour their martyred heroes as a final act before retreating.

	~~The army spent six days and nights holding off the attacking vampyres to construct burial mounds, the Barrows, to honour the fallen brothers.~~

	As the army began its return, the stranger slowly started walking towards the brothers, now dead and interred in their barrows. Arms outstretched atop the central mound, the stranger chanted in some foul, ancient language, casting his old magic. A vulgar purple light formed in front of him, fell to the earth, and bled into each of the barrows.

	Not many of the original army made it back on the journey home, but tales were told of how each night an unnatural glow could be seen on the horizon where they had buried the brothers. Even today there are stories told about those mounds of earth, and of the sights and sounds that have been witnessed nearby.

	A [[crumbling tome]], obtained by searching the hut near the mounds or by talking to the [[Strange Old Man]] found digging the crypts, provides a detailed account of how the brothers came to be buried.

	~~==Trivia==~~
	* There is currently a glitch where if [[Guthan the Infested\|Guthan]] is slain and he heals simultaneously, a message will appear in the player's chatbox stating {{mes\|We'll finish this later...}}. This message can also appear if players run too far away from a brother in the crypts.
	* Despite the fact that the brothers appear to be ghosts, the [[Crumble Undead]] spell cannot be used on them.
	* If your inventory is full when you loot the chest and you get a Barrows item, it will be dropped on the ground but will be in 100% condition. This and Falador Party Room drop parties are the only ways to drop Barrows weapons, chest pieces and leg pieces on the ground without them degrading. Barrows helms can also be dropped by using them on a [[hat stand]].
	* Barrows could be in direct relation or inspired by the Barrows from lord of the rings. "The Barrow-wights began appearing in the Barrow-downs after the Dúnedain of Cardolan succumbed to the ravages of the Great Plague. These evil spirits were sent by the Witch-king of Angmar, who wished to keep the Dúnedain from resettling the region." Its often that these barrow-wight spirits protect a tomb of jewelery or riches, as seen when Frodo and crew are put under the spell of one.
