Zeah

Zeah is a members-only continent exclusive to Old School Runescape, released on 7 January 2016. Zeah lies to the west of the map, and once all 3 phases are released will result in a 50% map increase in total over-world land. The continent revolves around five houses attempting to wrest control, and it is the player's role to gain favour for a chosen house and help their rise back to the top. Zeah is accessible via boat at the south-most pier at Port Sarim, by speaking to the NPC Veos.

Phase Schedule
The 7 January 2016 release is only the first of 3 scheduled releases, stylized as phases.
 * 1) Great Kourend is the principal content of Phase 1.
 * 2) Phase 2, as mentioned by Mod Mat K on the newspost Old School in 2016, is described as: "The second phase of Zeah will revolve around raids. These raids will scale depending on the amount of people in your party and their levels ensuring that it is always a challenge. You will explore the caverns of Zeah and fight new bosses with unique mechanics which mean you must work with your team to defeat them."
 * 3) Phase 3 information is forthcoming.

Great Kourend
Kourend is a city that was once whole, split into 5 houses by the last king shortly before his death. The king forsaw that the in-fighting between his children would devolve into war, so he gave them each a house to rule, and split the land between them.

That king has now been dead for many years, and as expected, the 5 houses are struggling for power. Your choices in the city of Great Kourend help decide how much favour you earn with each house.

Earning favour with each house comes with different advantages in various different skills.
