So we know what's after the EGW storyline now. For the next 6 months, we will be opening up a new chapter on Legacy of Zamorak.

The name of it suggests Zamorak may be gone (banished? killed? enslaved?) soon but we are going to have fun with the legacies he is going to leave behind.

What is the post-Zamorak Gielinor like? What future it leads to? Remember though, it is only 6 months so there probably will not be another Grand Revision or God War on that chapter.

Until more info gets released next Thursday, I'm going to make a wild guess and say that lorewise the opposite of what Guthix did in the Dimension of Disaster happens to Zamorak, with the gods draining Zamorak in the wilderness volcano before they are all banished while in the DoD Guthix drained all the gods. Perhaps zamorak gets so much divine anima drained he gets turned back into a mahjarrat. Or the whole fight could be zamorak trying to find a way for gods to win back the right to an afterlife and things escalate from there.

Honestly Zamorakians barely changed if at all since his return. Post-Zamorak Gielinor will have Zamorakians acting no differently than they did in the 5th age.

F for the big guy though


Have you played Eye of Het? General Khazard certainly wouldn't participate if it wasn't the command of Zamorak.

When did you see Moia and Bilrach fighting the world in the 5th Age?

Zamorak's return definitely made his followers more active and relevant in the game.

Weren't Moia and Bilrach in daemonheim constantly in the 5th age?

Constantly? Definitely no. They were there ONCE only and the purpose was to look for Zamorak. Of course they no longer had to search for Zamorak in the 6th Age. A huge difference already.

I think what'll be most interesting is that if Zamorak is killed outright, that there's no real "bad guy" gods left in play. There'll only be Saradomin, Armadyl, and the newly ascended Azzanadra.

Since them remaining on world would certainly result in "good guy" domination over the world - as Saradomin & Armadyl, by their own admission, share a lot of ideals. Azzanadra seems a bit lost in ideals & has no major following, and has no experience in god-ness so I can't see him being the next "big threat". So, the end result has to be either Zamorak survives on world OR we succeed in recreating the Edicts and banishing them. In the latter, Zamorak probably survives basically just so there's an excuse for the other gods not to try and return (Too busy fighting Zamorak in space!).

Assuming the gods are banished, then it comes down to the powerful, but non-divine, characters to make a play. Out of the existing quest series, we know there's mahjarrat (many of whom support Zamorak), the dragonkin, vampyres, and Amascut from the desert pantheon who seem to have serious physical power & could be a threat to significantly large swathes of the world (just not the world as a whole). Plus lesser threats from the pirate, Glouphrie, and possibly monkey/penguin series, who are more localised threats.

So, I think this post-Zamorak world will be picking up on these. We're not going to be saving the world or the universe any more. We'll be back to saving smaller groups here & there. The only other line I can see if Zaros still pushing for elder godhood, and us having to foil him off-world. (as if he remains a normal god, the edicts would stop him)

Guess we'll just have to wait & see! Exciting times though.
If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than you are now.

Rest assured, anything can happen and we may kill Zamorak in the next quest and no false idols have to leave Gielinor. But this may not be as much fun on the story telling side. So I guess gods will be physically absent for a short time and let Moia, Hebe, et al take over.

However, if I was the one who write the story, I would let the false idols either control the minds of the mortals like what Xau-Tak has been doing, or at least give them remote commands.

"Chaos will rise in a story spanning bosses, quests, a wilderness reborn, skilling updates and more beyond."


Somehow I have a feeling we are going to get an Archeological site in the wilderness.
A new method to do a certain skill ( slayer maybe?)
Some cool bosses (Maybe another skilling one?)

I think Mod Jack has said he wants the world to calm down a bit and focus on some other stories that don't have quite a major impact.
Time to follow an trail of Treasure.
