==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.

The Barrows is a series of six burial mounds east of Mort'ton in which the Barrows brothers were entombed after their deaths during the Third Age. 'Barrows' also commonly refers to the minigame-like dungeon-delving experience of looting the chest at the centre of the tunnels beneath the crypts, released on 9 May 2005.

Players can attempt to rob valuable items from the Barrows brothers' crypts. However, due to an ancient spell, the brothers' wights continued to dwell in the barrows, protecting these treasures.

Looting the Barrows is popular due to the potential of receiving valuable rewards, including the unique Barrows equipment, with increasingly valuable rewards for killing more monsters in the crypts, including the Barrows brothers themselves.

In the miniquest His Faithful Servants players are tasked to slay all six Barrows brothers and then loot the chest for the strange icon. Completing the miniquest rewards some Prayer experience and the ability to use your minimap within the Barrows tunnels.

Getting there

File:Barrows Map.png
1. (Red) Using the Barrows Teleport (tab) is the quickest route.
2. (Blue, Green and Orange) Using the Mort'ton minigame teleport, Mort'ton teleport scroll and Morytania legs 3 & 4 are good alternatives to players who don't have access to the Barrows teleport.
3. (Pink and Light blue) Travelling using the Swamp Boaty is a valid method for ironmen who don't have access to abovementioned options.
4. (Yellow) Using the 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:
