Now, perhaps everybody should think about why Raksha says "I'll pull you to Erebus" or something like this. Raksha is apparently the only one known to know where is Erebus or else he can't pull anybody to it.

So is Raksha dead and risen from Erebus? Or more likely is it Xau-Tak controlling Raksha all along? Either way, we know not only Zarosians go to Eureba after they die unless Rasha and/or Xau-Tak are Zarosians too. :D

The Shadow Leviathans is so big he wraps the world around his body. It is a clear reference to Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent in the Norsk methodogy. Jagex is referencing folklore here. Under this premise, we may assume Runescape's Eureba is also a borrowed idea from Eureba in folklore and mythology.

In Greek mythology, Eureba is the part of the underworld where bad souls are sent to and be tortured there eternally. This is possibly the same place what Eureba is in Runescape.

Well Raksha only became the Shadow Colossus after coming into contact with the Codex, so the Codex must have knowledge of Erebus within in, alongside having Anathema to some degree to empower Raksha in the first place

The Jormungandr reference would be nice, mythical beasts as bosses one day in RS' own way would be cool. there are a few concept arts of the Shadow Leviathans though so I'm not that they are quite on that scale (possibly changed though since the concept arts were drawn up)

Also Typhon is mentioned in the book of Colossi which would be apretty cool addition one day

Also just something to consider, if Xau-Tak infused the codex with Anathema (or whoever did it) What if he meant it to be left for the Baby Elder Gods to consume it alongside the Knowledge inside the Codex after hatching? Leaving it as a trap?

Raksha just got to it first by accident?
