If there is going to be a Rite of Passage quest, it probably won't come before the World Guardian and his fellow Gielinorean adventurers have mastered the Avaiansie technologies of flying/aviation. How else can we travel in Abbinah which is said to be composed of floating islands?

Note that we built a barge to go to Anachronia. We need to either fly (with our Armadyl Wings free from SGS for members) or build a flying object that carries us or ride a big flying beast which is strong enough to carry us.

While that would be epic, I definitely do not see jagex doing that. Besides, we have the world gate to get there. Maybe one day we can fly, but not today :(

The Stormguard Citadel is shaping up to be a pretty sizeable and lore-heavy batch of content, possible the biggest Armadylean/Aviansie one ever - judging from the streams how much stuff the Archaeology skill is including that is lore-heavy, not to mention how big the areas seem. If the reactions to it are good, it could definitely give more arguments to ROP internally, if it's still a thing ;)

It is also nice to hear they have reworked the Temple of Ikov in the latest stream, to what extent that means remains to be seen, but I think it's pretty much all a graphical thing. We got a good look at the outside ruins and it looks good - especially the fancy new portal!

If we're lucky and all goes well, we might get a showcase of the Citadel itself on Friday's video. Which would be our first look at how a very modern floating island will look :)

We've also learned that Stormguard will require level 70 Archaeology, so it will take some grinding before it unlocks, even more to unlock everything!

I think it'd be very possible to do mini-quests without replacing ROP, for people who just want straight up lore. For all intents and purposes Stormguard is kinda that (with a brand new island to go with it, so mini doesn't really suit it :P ). There is a story to it and we will explore this island and discover a bunch of lore. Rite of Passage

On reddit they have uploaded the video showcasing Stormguard Citadel, I recommend checking it out! There was a nice picture there too :) As you can see it's designed to be stormy, so it's a nice sneak-peak of how Abbinah could look.

Given the time it can take to level this skill I think it would be best to avoid for a while discussing anything notable from the Stormguard Citadel if it is relevant here - as it will most likely take a good while for many to get access to and unlock the various mysteries there in their own pace. Unlike a quest etc where we all can jump in at the same time. Rite of Passage
