Following certain incidents involving cats and crossbow limbs, a superstition developed in Bramblemead that it was bad luck to house cats and crossbows together. The supposed reasoning ranged from practical concerns about feline safety to increasingly absurd fears, including the notion that cats might somehow develop opposable thumbs and weaponize crossbows against their owners.{{ | Following certain incidents involving cats and crossbow limbs, a superstition developed in Bramblemead that it was bad luck to house cats and crossbows together.

Indeed, this durability seems to have put a nominal end to the unfortunate curse between cats and crossbow limb related catastrophes. As a result, in Fellhollow, cats still had a place in the home, even after they had been systematically outcast from Bramblemead. It was said that Xikotal, in particular, enjoyed the gentle purring noises that they made and would surround his lair with hundreds of the creatures so that he might be lulled into a gentle sleep.}} | ||

Template:Otheruses Template:Otheruses Template:Infobox Scenery Bramblemead Valley is a Dragonwilds:Power level 2 area in Dragonwilds:Ashenfall, Dragonwilds:Brynmoor located east of Dragonwilds:Temple Woods.
Description
Bramblemead Valley is located in the southwestern region of Dragonwilds:Ashenfall, south of the Dragonwilds:Whispering Swamp and west of the Dragonwilds:Fractured Plains. The valley contains the village of Bramblemead, which is now abandoned and overrun with monsters. Goblins occupy the region, and rats infest the ruins. The once-fertile farmland is now bloodstained.
The valley landscape is predominantly green and forested, with several waterways running through it.
History
Bramblemead Valley was founded in the Dragonwilds:First Age by the god Dragonwilds:Guthix and his followers. During the Third Age, most of the settlement converted to the worship of Dragonwilds:Saradomin.
Under Saradominist influence, the Dragonwilds:Keep of Blue Flames was constructed in the architectural style favored by Saradomin's followers, featuring an ordered shape to symbolize the god of order. The keep was governed by a local lord under the guidance of the high priest.
The valley was once a centre of human activity and learning in Dragonwilds:Ashenfall, with institutions dedicated to magical research and monster hunting. Eventually, the area was abandoned and overrun by hostile creatures.
Following certain incidents involving cats and crossbow limbs, a superstition developed in Bramblemead that it was bad luck to house cats and crossbows together. The supposed reasoning ranged from practical concerns about feline safety to increasingly absurd fears, including the notion that cats might somehow develop opposable thumbs and weaponize crossbows against their owners.Template:CiteJournal What began as harmless folklore took a darker turn when the conflict with the Dragonwilds:garou intensified. As Bramblemead's demand for crossbows increased dramatically, families faced a choice between keeping their pets or acquiring the weapons they needed for defense. Most chose the latter. Over time, domestic cats became increasingly rare on Bramblemead's streets. Local folklore later attributed Bramblemead's destruction to feline revenge, though most historians dismiss such claims.Template:CiteJournal Not all cats faced the same fate. Dragonwilds:Mittens, unlike most of his Bramblemead contemporaries, lived comfortably in his blacksmith's forge and never learned to fear crossbows.Template:CiteJournal The superstition eventually ended in Dragonwilds:Fellhollow with the introduction of steel crossbow limbs.
