To all lorehounds,

We did it - we got a lore forum! That's thanks - in no small part - to you. Your pestering, your haranguing, your poking. While I was doing the same thing from within Jagex (especially the poking), you were the real instigators. Bravo!

So, what happens now? Marvel at the achievement and eat cake?

No! We fill it up with lore detritus, speculation and discussion! What kind of feather does Azzanadra wear in his cap? Did Robert the Strong get his title after he defeated a dragonkin, or before? And does Sliske cast a shadow if he's master of the Shadow Realm?

This is the beauty of RuneScape's lore - it invites speculation, mystery and questions, and I hope you lorehounds have more than enough to chew over. You can certainly guarantee that I'll be dropping into the forum, as often as Zaros can spare me, to make the odd comment and frustrate you all with statements like "I wish I could tell you more, but I can't". It's almost like I'm a Jagex version of Scumbag Sliske.

Looking forward to shooting the breeze with you all.


Yay finally a Mod willing to pop into lore threads and deny us spoilers just what we needed :D

Can I ask that we get more significant lore revealed in game that out of game though. This has been a problem over the last year. Zaros needing a host and Saradomin being human both being revealed out of game which is kind of disappointing.

Also you are essential in Zaros' plan to return? Hardly surprising since you will be part of writing his return.

Edt: Also any chance clearing up some lore inconsistencies for us at one point? Like having a whole lore Q&A based on inconsistencies?

Almost forgot.

Tremble mortal, before the altar of our dread lord Zaros!


Forinthry shall rise again!

We love you, Osborne. :3 The release of this forum stimulated me to write threads about lore again. In fact, I'm posting one right now, do take a look! :P

Thanks for all the poking, we're all really happy with this forum.

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

Balustan: I like the idea of an 'Inconsistencies' campfire or AMA (although it'll make me sad to be confronted with them). I'll talk to the organisers of the campfires to see what they think, and see if there's an appetite for something like that.

In terms of inconsistencies, we do absolutely all we can to keep the integrity of our storyline strong. We have lore testers, and several champions of story who know their stuff (hopefully I'm one of them).

Ultimately, though, I'm enthusiastic and want to do bold things with a storyline that was in Paul's hands for so long, so we may unwittingly contradict.

I've commented about keeping lore ingame on your thread, Balustan.

Yeah inconsistencies are in every story and with 1 as large as Runescape it's expected but there have been a few that have existed for a fair while and it'd be nice to get a response to some of them.

The only consistency I facepalm at is the fact you guys don't know when Lumbridge was founded... there are about 5 inconsistencies related to the founding of Lumbridge.

I myself am also looking forward to reading all your posts!
As a 'lorehound' myself, I've enjoyed reading all of your speculations on Zaros, the Dragonkin and all the other awesome lore threads that have been made.

Party Pete will be busy with us :D .

Ok now the pitiful attempt to draw (JMod) attention (being cynical doesn't hurt):
Please check out my threads Troubles choosing your faction and The God Philosophies . I hope the stuff there corresponds with the idea Jagex has of the gods and their philosophies. It could help if my quiz gets "Jagex-approved" so more people can be aided with their choice.
