Slepe (pronounced "sleep") is a small coastal town which occupies an area east of Meiyerditch and Darkmeyer. The town is home to the sleeper plague, which causes infected people to fall into a deep eternal sleep, giving the town its name.

Due to the town's fealty to the vampyres, Slepe is the only human settlement in Morytania whose inhabitants voluntarily allow their blood to be tithed, and thus the people are healthier than others despite the grim look of life in the region.

The town was originally founded by the Justiciar of the Wolf Phosani and her band of former Saradominists who abandoned Saradomin's cause following Lowerniel Drakan's conquest of the area then known as Hallowvale. Phosani and the others offered their troops and the townspeople as tithes and sacrifices to Lowerniel, who accepted their offer. In return, he allowed them the land east of Darkmeyer. Phosani and the others conquered a small hermitage and grew a Zamorakian sisterhood, attracting more like-minded human followers in the process.

Eventually, Otrava discovered the Elixir of Everlasting, a potion said to extend the lifespan of those who drank it. Phosani and the others, who wished to live as long as their vampyre overlords, drank the potion, unaware of its deadly side effect at the time. With this potion, the members of the Sisterhood oversaw the construction of an underground sanctuary due to their revitalized youth.

The deadly side effect of the potion kicked in sometime afterwards. Seeing the danger the potion caused, the inhabitants of Slepe moved the afflicted to the sanctuary and locked them inside for their own safety. The town gained the name Slepe because of this.^[1] The locals dubbed the disease as the Sleeper Plague, but due to the precautions set in place by Phosani, there appeared to be no further incidents until Year 169 of the Fifth Age, when the Sleeper Plague was recreated by the vampyre Kroy and his master Damien Leucurte to gather more blood to meet the nobility's demands. The locals blamed it on the Painted One, who was actually a traveller from Varlamore, and killed him in the mistaken belief that it would end the plague. Kroy and Damien were killed at the same time, and Kroy's lab was destroyed, which ended further infections.

However, more than enough damage had been done, as the locals are yet to be able to cure those afflicted, and in addition to this, a malevolent entity broke into the underground sanctuary to feast on those afflicted by the Sleeper Plague.

The quickest methods of reaching Slepe are as follows:

• Teleporting to Slepe via Drakan's medallion after using a Slepey tablet on it.
• Teleporting to Ver Sinhaza via Drakan's medallion, then running north. Once players pass the small dock, run east to arrive at Slepe.
• Using the Ectophial to teleport to the Ectofuntus, then heading north to the small dock and paying Andras 10,000 coins to row to Slepe. The player will arrive at a dock just south-west of Slepe.
• Teleporting to Darkmeyer via Drakan's medallion, then use the shortcut on the eastern wall of Darkmeyer.
• Teleport to Burgh de Rott with the Morytania legs 3 or 4 or to the Shades of Mort'ton minigame teleport after completing the Shades of Mort'ton quest which has a 20 minute cooldown then go south to Burgh de Rott. Go to the southern shore and use the boat to go to Meiyerditch. Traverse the wall obstacles, run east along the shore and then enter Ver Sinhaza. Go north through the opening in the wall to arrive at Slepe.
  • After partial completion of Sins of the Father, the boat south of Burgh de Rott goes directly to Slepe and the Icyene Graveyard.

The town's church is Zamorakian, and currently houses Nemishka and Lady Crombwick, who both are infected with the sleeper plague and are under the care of Sister Sevi and Sister Toen, respectively.

On the 2^nd floor, players can take a book named explosive discovery. A chest is also found here, but can only be opened with the old key.

On the church's roof, several chaos druids and chaos druid warriors can be found.

Players can travel between Port Phasmatys (just outside the town, north of the Ectofuntus) and the small port south-west of Slepe. Andras charges players 10,000 coins if they are travelling from Port Phasmatys to Slepe, but will not charge them if they are travelling from Slepe to Port Phasmatys. After partial completion of Sins of the Father, players may board a boat to travel between Slepe, Burgh de Rott and the Icyene Graveyard.

The Rat & Bat is a small pub run by Carl. He only sells bloody bracers to players, which, according to Carl, are made with local ingredients. During the events of Sins of the Father, Carl flees after the player exposes the drinks being laced with the Elixir of everlasting, with Roy replacing Carl as barkeep.

Under the town is the Sisterhood Sanctuary, accessible by climbing down the stairs in the small house next to the church.

The Crombwick Manor is the residence of Lord Crombwick. As the entrances to the manor are locked, it is only accessible via the ladder in Kroy's laboratory in the Sisterhood Sanctuary. It has been invaded by Damien Leucurte, vampyre juveniles and vyrewatch, and as a result appears messy.
