Guide book

The guide book, or Tourist's Guide to Ardougne, is an informational book found in the real estate agency near the southern bank of East Ardougne. The book details various points of interest in and around the city, and is presumably meant to help inform visitors and attract commerce to the city.

The book contains the full name of the owner of the Handelmort Mansion, Lord Francis Kurt Handelmort. This is useful in the Tribal Totem quest, during which players must use Handelmort's middle name, Kurt, to bypass the mansion's security system.

The book can also be found in the bookcases in a player-owned house if the player has previously read the book.
