Cultural Notes
Children in Gielinor reflect the imaginative and playful aspects of the game, often serving as a reminder of the lighter side of the otherwise serious world of RuneScape. They embody the aspects of growth and community, as the actions players take not only affect the adult citizens of the world but also the innocent lives of its younger inhabitants.
