Auburnvale is a town in Varlamore. It stands in the Auburn Valley, a redwood forest which was devastated in the War of Betrayal, and which is now host to animal spirits and Ents who are regrowing the forest.

There are a few ways to reach Auburnvale through various means.

Name	Teleport destination	Requirements	Walk
Quetzal Transport System	Centre of town	Sufficient progress of Twilight's Promise	None
Fairy ring AIS	Auburn Valley just south-east of the town	Started Fairytale II	Short
Pendant of ates	Nemus Retreat, south-west of the town	Must be charged	Short
Walking from Civitas illa Fortis		Completed Children of the Sun	Very long (can be shortened by following the mountain guide)

For those without teleports or the Quetzal Transport System, it is generally safe to walk from Civitas illa Fortis to Quetzacalli Gorge, where there is a mountain guide that will take you to Auburnvale for no cost.

Auburnvale was a peaceful town throughout its history. During the reign of Imafore Tullus it was close to being burned to the ground in an effort to halt the progress of Kourend's troops. This plan, however, failed as Imafore's general Nemus refused to follow the order, thus saving the town and the Auburn Valley from being destroyed. As a result, General Nemus was executed, which lost the Emperor Imafore the support of Nemus' troops.

It is currently unknown for how long the ents have been wandering the forests of the Auburn Valley, but it is clear they play an integral part in the area's flora, as documented by Ranulph in his work Sacraments of ent folk.

The main feature of Auburnvale and the surrounding valley is the Vale totem sites, which can be built and decorated to train Fletching and Construction (if a house has been purchased), after completing the miniquest of the same name.

Building	Description
Auburnvale bank	The Auburnvale bank consists of 4 booths, one on each of the four cardinal points. Its close proximity to a sawmill makes it the perfect bank for those looking to gather planks for Construction.
Auburnvale General Store	A classic general store with the usual stock. The building also contains an oven and a knife spawn upstairs.
Sebamo's Sublime Staffs	Sebamo sells a stock of magic staves identical to those of Zaff's Superior Staffs, although there are no battlestaffs for sale. Every basic elemental staff can be purchased here.
Lunami's Axe Shop	Owned by Lunami, the axe shop is notable for selling mithril and adamant axes, making it especially helpful for ironmen with a Woodcutting level below 60 doing the Animal Magnetism quest. It also sells battleaxes up to adamant.
Auburn Pub	The Auburn Pub sells a wide variety of beverages and food, many of which give small boosts in skills such as Farming and Agility. Reading the noticeboard in the pub will start the Shadows of Custodia quest.
Vale Research Exchange	Run by Ranulph, the Research Exchange is the reward shop for the Vale Totems minigame. A total of 1,120 research points is needed to buy one of everything in the shop.
Sawmill	The Auburnvale sawmill is run by the Sawmill Operator. Its close proximity to the Auburnvale bank makes it a desirable location for players wanting to make planks for Construction training.
Tanner	Chouani operates the local tannery, providing all services one would expect from a tanner. Like Sbott in Canifis, Chouani charges higher prices than a standard tanner, a bit over twice the normal price.

• There is a plethora of Maple trees () scattered all around Auburnvale, as well as 3 Willow trees on the banks of the river and 2 Oak trees in the western section of the town. In the north, at the Hunter spot, there are a few dead trees.
• Both a furnace () and an anvil () can be found within Auburnvale, but they are quite a distance apart from one another. Players looking to smelt and smith bars in the region might do better to go to Tal Teklan.
• Inside Chouani's tannery, a loom () is available for Crafting training.
• On the east end of town there is a Belladonna patch () that can be used at level 63 Farming.
• To the north of Auburnvale, there is a small Hunter () spot consisting of 6 deadfall traps and 12 wild kebbits which can be caught at level 23 Hunter. There are dead trees nearby, so bringing an axe and knife is enough.
