First talk to king Narnode Shareen in the big tree, he gives you tree sample and translation book. Go see Hazelmere just east of Yanille on an island. Take some armour as the island is full of Jungle spiders (level 42). Hazelmere will take your sample and will give you the message, which, when translated word-by-word, says:

"A man came to me with the King's seal
I gave the man Daconia rocks
and Daconia rocks will kill the tree!"

Go back to the king and talk to him. Select a message similar to above and you'll learn you have to recover some stones. Go talk to the guardian Glough. You will find him on a tree to the south and a little east. Next go back to the king.

The King will tell you that Glough has already caught someone. Ask to see the prisoner. The King will give you the permission and will tell you that the prisoner is at the top of tree. Talk to Charlie, the prisoner, and he'll advise you to search Glough's home.

Go back to Glough, search the cupboard; you will find a journal. Show the journal to the King and tell him of your suspicions. The King will dismiss your ideas and will send you back to talk to Glough. Talk to Glough once again. You accuse him, and he has you arrested and imprisoned next to Charlie at the top of the tree. Charlie will tell you about warships being built on Karamja. He will also tell you a password to tell to the foreman of the shipyard (Ka-Lu-Min.)

Surprisingly the King lets you out of prison; you can now use the glider to go to Karamja to find the foreman. Before flying take some armour due to Jungle spiders and Jogres massively found there. Try to open the gate; the shipyard worker will ask for a password. Tell him that Glough sent you and select the three choices: Ka, Lu, Min. When inside, go to the end of the southern dock and talk to the foreman. He'll take you to his office and ask you three verifying questions:

1. How is Glough�s wife? (his wife is no longer with us).
2. What�s Glough�s favourite dish? (worm holes).
3. What's the name of his new girlfriend? (Anita).

You'll learn about a planned invasion. Take an order from the foreman and go talk to the king again. Don't just walk into the Gnome Stronghold as it is closed now. Use rather the spirit tree in the Gnome Maze Village. As you might have expected the King yet again will refuse to believe your accusations against Glough. Go and talk to Charlie at the top of the tree again.

Charlie will suggest that you talk to Glough�s girlfriend, Anita; she might be able to help you. Anita lives West of the swamp, northwest of the Grand Tree. Talk to Anita and she will ask you to return a key to Glough. This is the key to the chest in Glough�s house. Go open it - you will get some notes about his plan to take over RuneScape. Take this evidence to the King. Once again, he won't believe you but will say that they have searched Glough's house and all they found were four sticks. The King will give you the twigs. They spell T-U-Z-O. If you check with your translation book you will find that, if rearranged, the twigs will spell the word 'open'.

Go to Glough�s house and go up to the watchtower (agility level 25 is required.) Here you will find a stone stand. Place the sticks on stand in the following order: (use the sticks with stand)
't' in the far left position
'u' in center left position
'z' in center right
and finally the 'o' in the far right.

Once you have done this, you can open the trapdor, but DON'T DO IT YET! After you drop down a Black Demon (level 172) will attack you. So be sure to go prepared - plan for a strong battle. Prayer is recommended.

When finally down, talk briefly to Glough. He will start talking to you about world domination, then... a Black demon will attack! When (if?) you finally win, go along the cave and talk to the king. The king will send guards to check out your story. Once proved he will asks you to help one last time and find the last Daconia Stone. Search all the roots in the area until you find a small blue rock (far east of the king.)

Once you find it return to King and he will reward you. You will also be able to use the glider, and there is a mine now open to you under the tree, if you push some roots. To access this mine in the future, enter grand tree and move the tile in the floor.
