Kourend Chronicles: The Plot And The Potion
New day, new story! I can hardly keep up!
"A girl, a witness, a stranger, a terrible crime."
A Witness:
This story seems to mainly build on the events of Queen of Thieves, https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/The_Queen_of_Thieves, where we assist Lady Piscarilius. Penning her in as the thief, she doesn't seem concerned that she is the girl in question. To the very end I was convinced it was Councillor Hughes, who we had arrested for demonic cult dealings. But if she's the Witness , who's the Girl?
A Stranger:
On the note of the cult themselves, Lady Piscarilius would certainly recognize their voices if they were the Kourend Council. The only hint we seem to get is that one of them is balding.
https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Kourend_Council
The Stranger. "That man, that thing. " All my chips are on Xeric, which would mean the entire Kourend Council is in his pocket. The houses may have their leaders, but they answer to the Council. And the Council, it would seem, answers to Xeric. Scared, manipulated, but going along with his plans for good old fashioned "absolute power."
A Terrible Crime:
"If you're reading this, things haven't gone to plan and YOU should be worried. The King has been killed..." -Kharedst's Memoirs
Rowdy citizens protest outside the capital. What happened to King Kharedst IV? Who killed him? I don't have any backing for this one yet, but regicide would certainly be a terrible crime. Good thing us heroic adventurers never partake in that sort of thing .

Kourend Chronicles: A Kingdom United
This is the toughest to interpret so far, the only glimpse we've had into the Varlamore society, and packed with terms we've never heard of.
The only hint that seems to tie it to the others is that a cloaked stranger broke into the palace. But why? Nothing was missing that they could tell.
It seems we have another loose end. First a potion, next a break-in with nothing missing. Perhaps these mysteries are one and the same? And the crime...

Kourend Chronicles: The Man In The Tower
Another story, another mystery. My first thought was naturally to start digging through the wiki to see if anyone had seen reference to a "Magnus" or his journal. Just some Magnuses in Miscellania which seem unlikely, as this person writes in detail about Kourend.
Magnus is a white-haired, emaciated human prisoner in a tower full of books, guarded by lizardmen to get information from him. He writes a journal to warn the outside world, but it is confiscated by the lizardmen leader.
For this one more than any other, the picture may help. This is our only image of Magnus, or the place he's been kept.
And, at long last, the potential answer to the question I built this entire thread on:
Where is Xeric? Headcanon Haven, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

So with one week left to the quest itself, and the mysteries piling up, let's make a theory:
A GAME THEORY!
As far as towers with books, we've got the Arceeus House tower, which we've seen no signs of allegiance with Xeric from, and seems too far from the lizardmen.
Dinh's Redoubt from The Forsaken Tower quest is suitably isolated, but doesn't have many books, it's a smithing workshop.
Where would a tower be that's affiliated with Xeric, full of books, and close enough to the lizardmen to house their secret prison?
Right in front of our noses.

Kourend Chronicles: The Ascent
Concerned about the events of the Arceeus portion of the questline, one citizen heads to Mount Karaluum.
Coming face to face with a ghoulish undead with two spectral arms around its body, judging by the picture. Radiating magic. Wait, that sounds familiar. "Someone we'll meet?"
Xeric is on the move.
To be continued, I have a quest to finish. Headcanon Haven, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

Touche', Jagex.
It'll take a while to piece all that together, but for goodness sake if you haven't yet, do the quest!
Once I can get my head on straight I'll review everything and figure out what I got wrong, and more importantly, what's to come. Headcanon Haven, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.
