Information comparing locations for Slayer tasks will be on this page

Black Guards are members of the Dwarven Black Guard found throughout areas controlled by the Dwarven Realm. They give Slayer experience if players are assigned to kill dwarves. They wield black warhammers, however the black guard in Keldagrim attack with them much faster than a normal warhammer.

Note: The Black Guards located near Ice Mountain have a limited chance of dropping dwarven loot. Refer to dwarf drop information if this is of interest to you.
