The Dragonkin's problem is with the CURSE from the Stone of Jas that caused them pain, not specifically the Stone itself. We know the Stone is destroyed, but as Kerapac mentioned in the Curse of the Black Stone, the Curse remains there and they have yet to find a permanent fix although with the help of Hannibal, they have created a potion Hannibal called "The Seed of Tomorrow" or something like that... but it is just a temporary cure.

No matter how Armadayl became a god, as long as it wasn't because of the Curse of the Stone of Jas, why would the Dragonkin has a bone to pick with him? That's why the Avainsies are not in hiding like the other tribal rivalies.

Zamorak doesn't have much to worry about Zaros? You know Zaros can change his mind anytime just because he is a real god with real powers... or in other words, just because he can. Zammy also has a lot to worry about the Ritual of the Mahjarrat as he may be the next one to be consumed. :D

There are absolutely no words how Saradomin can be "stronger than ever". He was able to resurrect the iceyenes before and he could even resurrect a human now. His powers is definitely fading. And don't forget he is a false user. Even the Magister think even Itchlarin is more powerful than him. Besides, in what ocassions have any of the false users, Guthix included, showed they have the real powers without the Elder Artefacts?

You can see all the powers mortal can gain mostly come from the Elder Artefacts. Even the dying little girl Primrose could guard the Needle and fight against the immensely powerful Kerapac when the powers of the Elder Artifacts was with her. That said, without the Elder Artefacts, the false idols are nothing... they may not be much more powerful than a dying little girl.

Zaros' goal is definitely not to save the universe. Otherwise he would not have left Freneskae. Why didn't he save Freneskae with his fellow Mahjarrats to begin the story with?

Oh BTW, my last post was just meant to be a one-off response to the person/people who asked so many questions not related to the Rite of Passage 2. I do not intend to further elaborate on things off topic although I will be more than happy to discuss Zaros, Saradomin and other gods, etc on a more appropriate thread. :D

I was unaware of that snippet from Curse of the Black Stone. I concede on that paragraph.

This argument doesn't make any sense at all. Based on the most current intelligence, nothing suggests that Zamorak has anything in particular to worry about from Zaros. What you're saying is like trying to claim that "Well tomorrow, Saradomin might decide that he actually really likes Zamorak's philosophy, after all these millennia of absolute rejection. You never know! It could happen! Saradomin can change his mind anytime!" That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of RuneScape's timeline. Zaros, Seren, and the Mahjarrat were born after the most recent Great Revision, which is what Freneskae would've had to have been saved from. At the end of Fate of the Gods, Zaros literally calls out the Elder Gods as the biggest threat to all life, and declares his plan to save the multiverse by finding a way to stop the next Great Revision (lest every planet be destroyed again except for Gielinor, whose fate would be the current state of Freneskae).

Looks like the discussion has been a lot of places, but I just came here to voice my support for rite of passage. What a great idea for a quest... I just hope it gets released soon. Click here for ideas on exploring other worlds, specifically the human homeworld Teragard. This one's me baby

Hi, thanks for the support. We will not likely be getting Rite of Passage anytime soon unfortunately, but they’re throwing us a bone here with the Stormguard Citadel , which will be a training site for the new Archaeology skill announced yesterday at Runefest.

I demo’d the skill at Runefest and I can see a lot of potential for great storytelling from this skill, and Armadylean/Aviansie enthusiasts will get a nice slice of the pie with this new site. I did ask around about the Guardians of Armadyl quest (started at the most recent gameblast), but didn’t get any new information about it. I do hope that one does get picked up and worked on more as well.

It seems like we'll get a little more information about the Stormguard Citadel in November, judging by the Archaeology page. The preview picture seems to show a rather idyllic island, but I do think that are some ruined structures on it?

If I were to take a guess, I'd say this is a Gielinorian Island that was active during the God Wars. All the other dig sites appear to be on Gielinor too, so a change to Abbinah would be surprising.

The Citadel was mentioned in the BTS:

Archaeology Journal: Stormguard
Make sure to pore over our first Archaeology Journal when it goes live later this month. It features the first of our newly-discovered sites, Stormguard Citadel.

Rumour has it that this floating fortress was home to a top-secret aviansie lab during the God Wars. What forgotten technology might lie buried within its halls?

Find out more about RuneScape’s newest skill on the dedicated Archaeology page.

So we can tell from this it's a god wars lab, which puts it in Gielinor for sure. It'll be interesting to find out more when the Journal goes up this month :)
