Map of the City

Attractions

There are quite a few other things around this city to see, from quests to farming patches and more.

(1) Fishing Contest Quest

To the north of Catherby is a small building with a set of stairs leading downwards. If you speak to the Dwarf wandering around, you can begin the Fishing Contest Quest. Once you've completed that quest, you can use the underground shortcut from here to Taverley and back. Here's a map of the cavern:

In this dungeon, you can find several Dwarves and a bar. There are some level-20 attackable dwarves along with NPC dwarves. Khorvak, the Dwarven Engineer is part of the Between a Rock...Quest. Holoy is the owner of the crossbow shop. Rohak is part of the Recipe for Disaster quest. You can also find some Dwarven Stouts on the tables, which will raise your Mining and Smithing levels by 1 for a short time. Not only are there dwarves, but there is also a gnome. Captain Nino is a gnome who is part of the Gnome Cuisine mini-game.
