Rookgaard (Newbie Isle) es una isla situada en la bahía de Thais and the first place players visit after creating a new character. It's supposed to teach the basics of the game and give the first taste of Tibia to new players. After reaching level 8 they should talk to The Oracle to get to the Island of Destiny, though some players choose to stay on Rookgaard and never leave. Only players who are level 8 or 9 can leave rookgard, if you reach level 10 on the island, you will have to stay as a Rooker.
Santiago teaches players basics of NPC interaction
The tutorial gives basic information on client controls, NPC interaction and fighting creatures. It's logged as The Beginning in the Quest Log and consists of killing cockroaches for Santiago, bringing branches from a dead tree to Zirella and changing outfit and tradingfood at Carlos.
It can be skipped by saying 'skip tutorial' to Santiago.

| notes = The weakest Axe Weapon, making it the most effective weapon for training the axe fighting skill. It can also be used to harvest sugar cane. As these can only be bought on Rookgaard or looted from a witch, they are hard to come by. After the summer update of 2007, the loot value increased on main due to the raised popularity of playing a knight.

On a tiny island to the north-west of the Rookgaard town (here), there lies a Spike Sword called the Sword of Fury. Players are able to make it disappear by walking on switches hidden in the ground, but nobody has ever managed to capture it. The sign standing next to the island says 'Only the humble one may touch the Sword Of Fury'. It is rumoured that after making the sword disappear, it spawns somewhere else on the island. Some believe it has connection with a hidden lever in the Tom's shop.
Maze of Fury[]
A sign saying 'Maze of Fury' and a hole can be seen in a cave in the premium area of Rookgaard, but it is not possible to get there as there are stalagmites blocking the way and the entrance hole is covered with unmoveable stones. Some say it has relation with the Sword of Fury.
A book in the Minotaur Hell says the Minotaur Mage locked himself up. NPC Avar Tarclaims this minotaur mage is frightened of him and that's why he has locked himself up in a room. Some say that it's a part of some unknown quest and assume it is possible to open the door. The Minotaur Mage is also rumoured to have a connection with the lonely minotaur standing on a rock near the Sword of Fury.
