The [[Rhun Ruins]] are one of the six ruined cities found in Novia that date back to the period in Novian history in which the Obsidian Order rose to power.

The obsidian shards (which are of great concentration in this area of the world) have torn up pieces of earth, as they refuse to be chained down.
 
Right before meeting the ocean the terrain drops off and forms the jagged coast line, it is on these ocean side cliffs that the Rhun Ruins are located.<ref>[[Update of the Avatar]] [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=68278 #213 - 2017.02.03: The Making of Rhun Ruins]</ref>
 
The Maze area contains many hazards and traps, such as pressures plate which under the right (or wrong) hands can turn the center area into an inferno! Areas like “The Killing Fields” (so named by Lord British), are filled with plenty of deer blinds and perfect places for archers to stand guard and attack. Huge gaping holes in the ground are remnants of what was left behind when obsidian shards ripped those floating islands off the ground. The corruption brought along by Obsidian shards causes alien life to fill some of the ruined areas.<ref>[[Update of the Avatar]] [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=68582 #214 - 2017.02.10: The Making of Rhun Ruins] (cont)</ref>
 
Certain areas of Rhun have been overgrown with Alien life, including a giant hole where one of the floating islands ripped its landmass off the ground, tearing with it an entire plaza area.
 
An ancient castle sits on the treacherous rugged cliffs of Rhun,, filled with traps and hazards few dare to wander inside. A lone watch tower with some scaffolding allows players to board the floating island circulating the area.<ref>[[Update of the Avatar]] [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?p=68862 #215 - 2017.02.17: The Making of Rhun Ruins] (cont)</ref>
 
The ruins of Rhun are accessible on the overland or by boat near [[Broochash]].
