Armadyleanism

"I envisage a world where gods and mortals can coexist in peace, where goodness is rewarded and justice prevails."


Officially, Armadyl is the god of justice, though he is often associated with law as well. Saradomin, the god of order, once said that he and Armadyl were "noble brethren," implying that he and Armadyl hold many of the same beliefs. However, the two should not be mistaken as the same or even allies. Whereas Armadyl will always strive for justice rather than order, Saradomin will take any path to achieve order, be it considered ethically 'good' or 'bad'. Come the Sixth Age, Armadyl has killed Bandos in war but has not made any major moves since then.

Followers

His followers, though plenty, are the least varied. Aviansie and Humans are the main species, along with the usual outliers that any religion may have.

Bandosianism

"Then fight me! There is nothing more hateful than sulking. If the world is not as you wish, bend it to your will!"


Bandos, also known as the Big High War God, was the god of war. A very powerful, aggressive, bloodthirsty and strategic entity, known for defeating many large armies by himself. He demanded worship and unquestioned obedience. His followers' main trait is strength if not high numbers, at the cost of intelligence, making them valuable warriors who would listen to him blindly.

Though he was the first god to die in the second god wars, many followers still adhere to his ways even in death.

Followers

Bandos has one of the greatest populations of followers in all of Gielinor. Most of his followers are depicted as ugly and bad-tempered beings with low intelligence, although many of them are not inherently unintelligent, and many intelligent races have served him in the past. It is mainly their lack of mental acumen, dispersed numbers, and disorganisation which has prevented them from causing serious problems for the rest of the world. Bandos' death has further lead to disorganization, however he has also proved to be a martyr for the cause and this has increased activity in the ranks. Many would shrug the Bandosians off in this day and age, until an emboldened raiding party comes to town.

The species of Bandosians include Goblins, Ogres, Hobgoblins, Orks, Ourgs, Cyclopes, Trolls, and Humans.

Godlessness

"They're all hypocrites! Saradomin preaches peace, and here he is at war. Zamorak preaches chaos, and yet does exactly what he did before."


The Godless are a sturdy, albeit ragtag faith (or lack thereof) of Gielinor. With minimal resources, they fight for freedom from the Gods. Some want them gone from the world entirely, others just wish to not be subjected to them, but all of them want independence. Vorago is the Godless' representative on Sliske's scoreboard and is not technically a god itself.

Species amongst the Godless can be, and are, just about any on Gielinor. With all of the hassle and collateral damage that these deities bring, they've rubbed a lot of people of all stripes and colors the wrong way.

Followers

Godless have always had a strong disadvantage. Up to the end of the Fifth Age, Godless were not welcomed as established powers outside of Dorgesh-Kaan, and Godless have never found it easy to accumulate wealth. When the God Wars began once more, the Godless were prone to have very little in resources.

Many Godless as a result are secretive, ragtag forces moving around trying to help people and stop the God Wars from getting too wild.

At least, this was the case until Vorago joined the fray. This powerful entity made of and from the Anima Mundi joined the Godless in a close alliance, though it is clear Vorago has it's own goals.

However this victory is not to be underplayed. With it the Godless have proven themselves strong and have been able to up their recruitment rate.

Saradominism

"The ruin I brought to the Naragi is my greatest shame. Civilisations have risen and fallen, and still the actions of my past haunt me. And so they should, for regret begets wisdom, and I have much to regret."


Saradomin is the god of order, quite likely the most worshipped god on Gielinor amongst all peoples, though undoubtedly amongst Humans. While the common man of the world views him as the god of good, this is not necessarily true or even mostly true.

As he was as much of a victor as there could have been in the first god wars, most written history favors him. The truth is that, although Saradomin is largely benevolent and wants to do things he regards as good, this does not mean that he is the personification of good itself, nor that his methods reflect his goals. Saradomin is indeed relentless in his pursuit for order and peace and has expressed a hope that the ends justify the means.

Followers

Saradomin has a vast following, both on Gielinor and across the Multiverse. Because of all the people and races allied with him, many Saradominists have varying opinions on numerous issues. These opinions may not be shared with Saradomin himself. Some Saradominists believe that there are only three gods, denying the existence of other gods/demi-gods. Others go as far to claim that he is the only true god in existence.

Serenism

"Guthix was right, Gielinor is better off without its gods."


Seren is the crystalline goddess of harmony and peace. She was the only deity besides Guthix to remain on Gielinor after the first god wars, albeit in a similarly dormant state. Fortunately, she did not suffer the same fate as Guthix and is now lucid in the Sixth Age. Seren is a pacifist, shying violence as much as she can. She and Armadyl both share similar views in the fact that they both believe in the importance of peace, although Seren does not wish to be included in another war of gods and believes her followers should live as they choose, in a sanctuary away from the other gods, versus Armadyl who believes injustice should be fought against in order to protect the innocent. But this war will exclude no one, not even deities of peace.

Followers

Elves make up the largest number of followers, but the recently restored Prifddinas is open to anyone who won't raise a fuss, and the words of emissaries eastward have not been ignored. People of all stripes and color wish for peace in these times and it's not odd to find all but the most infernal of species looking toward Seren.

Sliskism

"Why should you trust me? Well now, I don't have an answer to that. In fact, I do. You shouldn't."


Sliske is a mysterious, cunning and powerful Mahjarrat responsible for the death of the god of balance, Guthix. Although he was always loyal to Zaros, events following the death of Guthix have caused fellow Zarosians to doubt this and his dubious actions eventually led to his excommunication from the Zarosian following. He is the "host" of the second god war and promises the Stone of Jas to whomever has the most points when the next solar eclipse comes to pass.

It's difficult to peg just what Sliske represents, what he wants, or why he wants it. There are only a few absolutes about him and his followers; trickery. They're mischievous jesters always looking to cause trouble. The hijinks may well look benevolent one day, and then take a turn for the abhorrent in the next day.

Followers

Very few people that aren't forced into his servitude willingly follow Sliske. The ones that day can be of any stripe and color, sharing a common madness.

Zamorakianism

"Then stop hiding behind words and prove yourself in combat, coward."


The god of chaos and destruction. Although it is often said, especially by Saradominists, that Zamorak is the epitome of evil, he considers himself merely the god of chaos; his teachings state that self-improvement, greatness, strength and purpose are brought by chaos, whereas order and constancy supposedly lead to stagnation of society. Zamorak preaches that the best comes out of mortals when chaos and pressure are applied, and that through conflict, mortals unlock their true potential. As with every other god, results have been varied. Zamorak's largest misstep is the destruction of Forinthry which has remained a wasteland for thousands of years, but in the second god wars his philosophy has mainly held true. Previously destroyed by the first major god battle of the second god wars, Lumbridge has been rebuilt and is much stronger and more fortified than it had been.

Followers

Many species can be found under this banner. Humans, demons, vampyres, dwarves, and more. The only ones that wouldn't found here are aviansie, icyene, and centaurs.

Zarosianism

"It is my belief that everything that occurs in life - both good and bad - should be used to forge oneself, to better oneself. Where Guthix sought balance in the world, I seek balance in oneself."


The god of fate and control. At one point the most revered and feared god of Gielinor by far. Even following his defeat after Zamorak's betrayal and the collapse of his empire, the latter was still true as many believed him to be too powerful to be killed. They were right. Come the Sixth Age, it is now known he has returned by very few know his goals.

Zaros' goal is to guide Gielinor's inhabitants from the shadows, pushing them towards their full potential and protecting them from harm. Upon arrival to the planet in the Second Age, he deemed establishing a large empire with massive armies the best way to achieve this. However, this eventually led to a rebellion and his own banishment. As such, he has chosen a more subtle means of accomplishing his goal upon return, trying not to rule, but act as an unseen but omnipresent power silently guiding mortals to their greatest potential, and working with only a small number of those that have reached this state of total potential

Followers

Very few besides the most powerful species follow Zaros, as these powerful ones are the few to have experienced the real events in the empire. However a pocket of desert civilization has stayed strong in their belief from when Senntisten still stood.
