RuneScape Adds Fort Forinthry: New Foundations Storyline

RuneScape Fort Forinthry: New Foundations

Jagex has announced that a new storyline has been released into its signature MMORPG RuneScape. Fort Forinthry: New Foundations introduces players to new ways to improve their construction skills and earn bonus XP. In addition, the Fort Forinthry storyline lays the foundation for the next year of story updates to the venerable game.

New Foundations is the first update in the Fort Forinthry storyline. Players become dux, dukes and duchesses of a fort built by their own hands. Following the epic conclusion of the Elder God Wars, this story begins closer to home. As Zamorakian forces threaten Gielinor, players are asked by King Roald and Queen Ellamaria to construct a fort on the edge of The Wilderness. In this initial update, players will begin building their fort and the first four buildings each with their own gameplay bonuses. 

Base Building in RuneScape

As described, the new content allows players to build their own epic base within the game. Players will work through content to become master craftworkers as they use a new construction skilling method. This allows them to build a fort over the course of several game updates. As with many base-building games, as the fort grows and new buildings/rooms are added, more bonuses and benefits will unlock.

Players will also gain access to the Workshop where they’ll train in these new construction methods. They’ll make their own planks at the sawmill and access workbenches for other skills. Players can even increase their Prayer skills at the Chapel. The Command Center allows players to take control of their duchy to manage other content they’ve unlocked including their remote outposts.

The Town Hall is another new feature for players to toy with. Once built, the Town Hall gives players rested XP that is earned when they’re offline or working in their forts.
