Yanille (pronounced "ya-NEEL")^[1] is a members-only city south of Ardougne, known for hosting Wizards' Guild. Due to the threat of ogres from nearby Gu'Tanoth, the city is surrounded by tall walls, and is heavily patrolled by guards.

A number of methods exist for teleporting to or near Yanille:

• Teleport to House — Yanille house portal. Requires a POH there.
  • Construction cape — Yanille house portal.
• Minigame teleport — Nightmare Zone, just outside the eastern entrance.
• Watchtower teleport — Watchtower. After completing Ardougne Hard Diary, the teleport can be switched to the centre of Yanille.
• Fairy ring CLS — behind Hazelmere's home on the Yanille Chain.
• Fairy ring CIQ — north of the ogre island, just outside the western entrance.
• Khazard teleport — Port Khazard, a good run north-east of the city.
• Ring of dueling — the Castle Wars lobby, well west of the city.
• Gnome glider — Feldip Hills, well south of the city.
• Spirit trees — centre of Tree Gnome Village. Players must first follow Elkoy out of the maze, then complete a long run south-east.
• Ardougne cloak 1 or higher — the Ardougne Monastery, well north of the city.

The following lore is sourced from Watchtower, Postbag from the Hedge, dialogue with the Watchtower Wizard, dialogue with Colonel Radick, and Eastern Discovery.

It is unknown what year Yanille was founded, but it was originally built by both soldiers and mages.^[2] At some point, an ancient spell was placed to ward off ogres by the Watchtower Wizard, sustained by a crystal-powered machine. At some point, the crystals powering the machine broke, until an adventurer helped fix them.

There has been ongoing tension in the city due to the threat of ogres in the area. While gnomes and humans were able to sign a treaty of peace with the elves following the God Wars, the ogres of Gu'Tanoth didn't sign. In the time since then, operations have been largely defensive; however, in the year 169, a H.A.M. member saw this conflict as a reason to try to destroy the nearby ogre burial ground of Jiggig.

• Just west of Bert's house is a house portal. Players with 50 Construction can pay any estate agent 25,000 coins to move their house here. This location is popular due to it closeness to the bank.
• The Fight Arena mine is located north-east of the city. It is one of the closest mines to a bank, and provides excellent experience for miners wishing to get levels quickly.
• There are two anvils are just south of the bank in the anvil building. Smithing runite limbs here is part of a task for the elite Ardougne Diary.
• The hops patch next to the guest house is used in the Farming skill. It is watched over by Selena.
• A number of regular and oak trees can be found inside and outside the walls of the city.
• Nightmare Zone, a combat-focused minigame, can be found next to the eastern entrance.
• The Yanille Agility dungeon, a dangerous dungeon where players can earn herbs for training Herblore. The dungeon can either be entered from the building north of the city, which requires slashing a spider web with a sharp blade or knife, or from the door in the basement of the building just south of the bank, requiring 82 Thieving.

• The archipelago to the east of Yanille is home to many jungle spiders. Hazelmere, the gnome mage, may be found up a ladder here. The CLS fairy ring can also be found behind Hazelmere's house.
• The ogre island west of Yanille has jangerberry and bone spawns, as well as many safespottable ogres.
