This quest (not the entire series) was a whole lot more about Vorkath than it was about Fort Forinthry, and there's certainly been more on the Fourth Age (the Dragonkin Conflicts) than there has been on the First Age.

The entire rising action that this singular, specific quest provides the Fort Forinthry saga involves the resurrection of Vorkath, and this quest's cliffhanger is Zemouregal flying the dragon toward our Fort and us having to find a clever way off of Ungael in order to beat him there.

There's more about Vorkath than there is about Aster grieving Bianca.

There's a lot more about Vorkath than Bill being an unappreciated carpenter.

There's a WHOLE lot more about Vorkath than Queen Ellamaria and King Roald.

Vorkath, is the entire focal point, of this quest.

We only saw Vorkath for a few seconds. It is just Zemouregal's weapon anyway. Nothing more.

And don't forget Zemouregal is destroyed by Moia, and Moia is probably Xau-Tak's dummy since the 'Til Death Do Us Apart Halloween Event.

There may be "a whole lot more about Vorkath" later in RS3, but that's only in RS3. Nothing to do with OSRS, let alone the 2 Vorkaths being "in parallel" in the two different games. Vorkath in OSRS is just another one of the tens named mobs that game called "bosses" but in reality are just dummies sitting in one place permanently without any lore or other values added to a MMORPG.

The Bianc/Astor/Varrokian Authorities storyline is going to lead us to the next big Misthalin storylines. Now we know Jagex is also hiring a Wizards of the Coast writer to write 3 new Runescape novels starting with Guthix's Gift featuring the Falador King Raddallin's untold stories. If you know about RS3's lore of Invasion of Falador and other stories involving the Temple Knights (which also includes their chieftain Sir Vey Lanc who is actually a Zarosian demon), it is not surprising to see the Varrokain Authories can be the Kinshra who was originally the ruling party of Varrock. ;)

So connecting The Raptor's dream of the past, present and future from Dead and Buried to the revealation of Bianca and the "Varrokian Authorities" from Ancient Awakening, we probably can predict Roald is going to die and then bunch of Nightmare Biancas and other NPCs rose to attack The Raptor in the future.

Roald may meet his fate in the next chapter as soon as next month, and then the political part of the Misthalin storyline starts, most likely related to Bianca/Astor who are of course connected to Murder on the Border.

The Raptor Queen probably is the legitimate heir of Misthalin, of course, but the Nightmare Biancas and "Varrokain Authories" are thinking the other way, essentially igniting a Civil War as previewed in the very end of Dead and Buried, especially if they are really the Varrokian Kinshra from the Lord Valzin era. It also makes perfect sense then why the Black Knight attacked Edgeville, probably after Sir Owen killed Iban, as now Saradomin is gone and (they thought) so is the World Guardian only that they don't know the Duke of Fort Forinthry who is still the World Guardian, which is also his destined responsibility dated way back to the First Age, has acquired a new power of Necromancy after learning mthe Vos-Xau-Tak ritual from Remains of the Necrolord. Even the First Necromancer is no match to the World Guardian, but the Vorrakian Authories are still in the dark.

And they may not know Ellamaria is not lame queen who only knows gardening... but the Signature Hero The Raptor. :)

I do think a lot of people forgot most lore is already out there in novels/ background information and in game details.

the lore it self is sometimes, what am I saying! most times not play able or possible to watch in form of cutscenes in game.

zeah was already in some novel out there osrs was just sooner with the in`game release.
Same about vorkath and ungeal.

Maybe Arposandra is a perfect example of this.
Both osrs and rs3 does not have it in game, but this location is already there because of the lore.
Just a matter of time who will release it first in game?

Zeah certainly doesn't have a thing referenced in Ancient Awakening. Zeah also doesn't have much lore even in OSRS.

We are far likelier to see lore not in any Runescape games yet, but in the upcoming new novels such as Gift of Guthix in RS3, than anything not related to Misthalin, Fort Forinthry, Necromancy and Age of Chaos up to the end of 2024.

Luckily for us both I did not reffrence towards ancient awakening with the lore based examples ;)

Its just a general statement that many people forget about novels etc and the novels etc do say things about things like vorkath etc etc

You can read it all in my last part about Arposandra ^_^

There aren't novels referencing Vorkath to my knowledge. I think the RS3 Vorkath is going to be more novelty than the OSRS Vorkath and easily so, maybe like Zuk but it won't headline a novel. They may further the Ungael Dragonkin experiment with ED5 and put Vorkath there, similar to the Black Stone Dragon story in ED2. However, the clear focus is Kerapac and the experiment with Shadow Anima and not Black Stone Dragon. They may say ok, let Vorkath be a Necromancy experiment of Zemouregal, however, the main story will be the Ungael Dragonkin's experiments in the past, aiming to control what Fort Forinthry used to be at that time, and have us go back to Ungael and find new dungeon with bunch of Vorkath like expermental blue dragons.

Zeah is even worst. It is simply uninspiring so hard to think anything worthy from Zeah to put on something "novel".

You know we are going to have 3 new novels already planned out, and probably Gift of Guthix is already written, right? RS3 always put multiple plots and hidden messages in one piece of lore. I see plenty of plots of future updates being revealed in the last 2 quests and the Necromancy series.

I do think you did not understand me.

As I was trying to tell you: most in game things started or already exist in some kind of lore.
Novels is one example of this.

Read my first example about Arposandra.


The new novels probably do have new lore things and regions to .
Many of those things do not exist in both games yet.

The game already did tell us multyple times about ungael.
I know it is a shock for many spacebar warriors, but read the in game books sometimes also the dialogue and many examine able things it really does have many in depth story most time!

Please tell us how the new novels mean to the Ancient Awakening quest. Of course, Varrock exists perhaps since the 2nd Age, but other the existence of old regions mean ZIP to this quest and Fort Forinthry.
