East Ardougne is the eastern of the two districts that form Ardougne, the capital of Kandarin. It is in the members area of Gielinor.
Its neighbour, West Ardougne, governed by King Tyras, is closed off to the general public because of a plague affecting the inhabitants, but players may gain access by finishing parts of the Plague City quest. East Ardougne is most known for its wealth, zoo and the theft-stricken marketplace. East Ardougne is currently governed by King Lathas.
History
The area today known as Ardougne was originally ruled by the Mahjarrat warlock Hazeel, who had conquered most of Kandarin, including the Ardougne area. He stayed as leader of the area until early in the Fifth Age after the rediscovery of Runecraft where he was defeated in the Battle of Ardougne by an army of Saradominists led by Sir Ceril Carnillean's distant ancestor. This ancestor took Hazeel's mansion for his own. Over time, the city grew and became a very wealthy city in Gielinor, and the Saradominist forces expanded their territory until Kandarin became the largest of the human kingdoms. In recent times, Ardougne was ruled by King Ulthas, but when he died, his sons, Lathas and Tyras, split the city in half.

Points of interest
Ardougne Zoo
The Ardougne Zoo is currently the only zoo in Gielinor. The Zoo is surrounded by an outer fence and contains several fenced-in exhibits housing animals such as monkeys, penguins, bears, and ogres. Several zoo keepers are in charge of the zoo. Players can talk to the zoo keeper named Charlie to begin the Eagles' Peak quest and talk to the ex-zookeeper named Larry to begin the Cold War quest. The paths between the zoo's exhibits merge to form a road leading out of the south entrance of East Ardougne.
Ardougne Castle
This is the castle where King Lathas lives. It is inhabited by many paladins. A few quests can be started here and there are a few chests to loot. It is located in the west of the East Ardougne, over the River Dougne.
Ardougne Docks
This is the port of Ardougne where players can talk to Captain Barnaby to travel between East Ardougne, Brimhaven, and Rimmington with a common fare of 30 coins or 15 coins while wearing Karamja gloves of any tier. Alternatively, if the player is wearing a Ring of Charos(a) and talks to the captain (i.e. not use the right-click 'Pay-fare' option), they may persuade him to allow the player to travel for free.
As well, the docks features the Gielinor Parcel Delivery Team and their depot, boasting the only known postal service in Gielinor. The depot plays a minor role in the Tribal Totem quest, used by Wizard Cromperty.
East Ardougne Church
The East Ardougne church is located in the centre of the region. Out front is a small graveyard, as well as Councillor Halgrive, who starts the Sheep Herder quest.

The three NPCs here are the bartender, the hooded, secretive Lucien and Two-pints. It is involved with some quests. Two-pints can be spoken to, to begin the Ardougne Diary.
Handelmort Mansion
The home of Lord Handelmort. This is where the totem is in the quest, Tribal Totem. The front door is always locked, but players teleport inside during the quest.
Horacio the gardener, has a small role in the Tribal Totem quest and in an elite clue.
Wizard Cromperty's house
North-east of the marketplace is Wizard Cromperty's house. He can teleport the player to the Rune essence mine. He also takes part in helping players get inside Handelmort's Mansion in the quest, Tribal Totem. There are a respawning hammer and chisel on a table in his house.
Servants' Guild
The Ardougne Domestic Service Agency is based here. The Servants' Guild is the building located in the north-east corner of East Ardougne. They will let players hire a servant for their player-owned house here for a fee.

Many players choose to train the Thieving skill in Ardougne, some all the way to level 99. In addition to the many stalls, Ardougne is home to several chests, and NPCs that may be pickpocketed. There are a total of five chests in Ardougne: a 10gp chest, a 50gp chest, a nature rune with 1gp chest, and 2 paladin chests. The 10gp, 50gp and nature rune chests are in the building south of the road coming from the east entrance to the market-place.

Players with level 90 Agility can use the rooftop course, by climbing the wooden beams near the house closest to the gem stall. The course finishes next to a crate directly south of the gem stall. It is currently the highest level course in the game.
Stores
There are many stores and stalls in East Ardougne nearly as extensive as Varrock.
East Ardougne General Store
Aemad's Adventuring Supplies., also known as the East Ardougne General Store, is located just north of the Ardougne Zoo. It is operated by Aemad. This store is unique because it doesn't sell some of the items general stores stock. Items include vials of water, bronze pickaxes, iron axes, cooked meat, tinderboxes, balls of wool, bronze arrows, rope, papyrus and knives. Regularly sold items to the shop include shortbows, longbows, arrows and flax. It is not usually a popular general store for selling items.
Zenesha's Platebody Shop
Zenesha's Plate Mail Body Shop is the building south-west of the marketplace. It is operated by Zenesha. She sells plate bodies from bronze to mithril. It is located at the Ardougne Marketplace in the south-west corner.
Ardougne Marketplace
Ardougne Marketplace is probably the most popular and the biggest stall marketplace in Gielinor. The Ardougne Teleport spell teleports the caster into the centre of the Ardougne Marketplace. With East Ardougne being very wealthy, the marketplace is very popular with thieves, with it often being called the hub or Guild of Thieving. It contains eight market stalls (six with availability to buy from) listed with information below. The owners of the stalls will not buy back their own products for 30–60 minutes from the player if they were stealing from the owner's stall.
Ardougne Gem Stall.
This is a gem stall in the south-east area of the marketplace. The owner sells the four main gems (sapphires, emeralds, rubies and diamonds). There is no main stock so the default stock is zero. A Thieving level of 75 is required to steal from the gem stall and only uncut gems may be stolen.
Ardougne Bakery Stalls
There are two bakery stalls in the marketplace: one to the east and one to the west. They both sell the same items but are owned by different owners. They sell bread, cakes, chocolate slices and chocolate bars. A Thieving level of 5 is required to steal from a bakery stall. Players cannot steal chocolate bars from either stall.
Ardougne Silver Stall.
To the north-west of the marketplace is a silver stall. It sells unstrung symbols, silver ore and silver bars. The trader, Erin, is also a part of the Making History quest. A Thieving level of 50 is required to steal from the silver stall. Only silver ore may be stolen and only unstrung symbols have infinite stock.
Ardougne Silk Stalls
There are two silk stalls in the marketplace. Although you cannot buy silk from either of them, you can only steal it. It is recommended to sell silk here, as the silk merchant can offer a maximum of 60 coins for one piece of silk. However, players may not sell them in notes. A player can get a maximum of 1,680 coins each load, though they must leave Ardougne after they steal or else he will call the player a "thief" and call the Knights of Ardougne and the market guards to attack. A Thieving level of 20 is required to steal silk.
Ardougne Spice Stall.
To the south-west below the silk stall is the Ardougne Spice Stall. It sells spices, knives and garlic. A Thieving level of 65 is required to steal from the spice stall. A player may only steal spice.
Ardougne Fur Stall.
The fur stall is located in the south-eastern part of the market, below the gem stall. The stall sells bear fur and grey wolf fur. They also sell polar kebbit fur, common kebbit fur, feldip weasel fur, desert devil fur, tatty larupia fur, larupia fur, tatty graahk fur, graahk fur, tatty kyatt fur and kyatt fur but the default stock of these is zero. To steal from the fur stall, players need a Thieving level of 35. Players may only steal grey wolf fur from the fur stall. Most find it easier to steal from the fur stall if the fur seller is allowed to walk in the building behind the stall, and the door is closed behind him.
