Here we go:

Saradomin is sitting in Falador castle now, along with Zilyana. Would Saradomin (or Zam/Armadyl) step in if say, Kandarin, tried to invade Asgarnia? (Theoretically; obviously Kandarin isn't stupid enough to try it).

Is Saradomin attempting to lead Asgarnia now that he's sittin' on a nice throne in the castle? He's known to be micro-managey regarding the church, and he ruled countless worlds before, so.

Is the wighting process only able to be done on living people? That's what we've seen so far. It seems to skip the 'death' phase and goes straight from Living -> Undead, with Linza and Akrisae being the main examples.

So, the Pest Void and the Spirit Beast Void are effectively 'artificial' voids. That said, are they still connected to each other, and is there a natural Void outside the Universe?

Another thing I'd like to confirm: All of the worlds in the universe are pretty much shaped from Sacred Clay, divine crystal/energy, and magic, right? Not including special exceptions that we may not know of yet, of course.

With the existence of the Dimension of Disaster, there are some implications. The most major one, in my opinion, concerns the elder gods. Does the other dimension have another Jas, Ful, Wen, Bik, and Mah, or do the elder gods exist in all timelines at once due to representing facets of time (especially Bik and her facet of 'alteration', which seems to imply alternate timelines)?

Is daeyalt absolutely necessary for the vampyrification process? Can people be vampyrized without it?

Is/was Kethsi a human colony? As in, were Kethsians humans?

Is Puro-Puro (the impling world) the moon of Infernus, similar to how Zanaris is the moon of Gielinor? It seems to fit, with the implings basically being like the demon equivalent of fairies, and how the moon of the last realm made in this cycle is permanently linked to the moon of the first realm created in this cycle. Mods pls notice me

Are werewolves, icyene, elves, gnomes, and dwarves all just evolved humans? We know that humans on Teragard would just enter the Schism and go to new worlds - presumably that's how they colonized other planes. So I'm thinking it's a fair assumption that certain worlds would warp, imbue, empower, corrupt, etc these humans, turning them into different creatures such as the ones I listed. Am I right or wrong?

"Holy magic". Blessings, exorcisms, Saradomin Strike, Icyenic Purge, Holy Force. Is 'holy' just a religious term coined by Saradominists to refer to themselves, while 'unholy' refers to their enemies? And as a follow-up to that, the fact that 'holy' things damage 'unholy' things (demons, vyres, werewolves): I'm thinking that this is really just magic devised by Saradominists to work especially well against their more powerful enemies (demons, vyres, etc), to level the playing field. Am I correct? (This is excluding the holy stuff we have in other faiths like Guthixianism)

Mahjarrat seem to have two possible methods of reproduction. Firstly is just a combination of energies to create offspring at the cost of energy drainage of both parties, and presumably the sex of the parents is irrelevant? Secondly, seems to be the method more common to other life forms, involving pregnancy and birth(because Palkeera WAS pregnant with Khazard, right? Plus, Zamorak has a belly button). So firstly, am I correct in this deduction? And secondly, what are the advantages and disadvantages to each method, if I am right?

Are there frost spells unrelated to the Ancient and dark element of Ice from the lower planes? As in, spells that just freeze existing water and manipulate the water molecules, hopefully not seen as too taboo by the Wiz Tower (Ariane said they were too superstitious to use the Ancient spellbook)? Mods pls notice me

What's the extent of firearm technology in the world of RuneScape (INCLUDING outside of Gielinor - namely, Teragard and other human colonies)? We know the Eastern Lands have muskets (Musketeers from the Skull region in Ports), the dwarves have automatic cannons and hand-cannons, and the Imcando dwarves developed pistols. With the advent of the Invention Guild, are more firearms likely (in-universe that is, not necessarily in game)?

What is the full extent of Teragardian technology? Do they have planes? Cars? Bombs? Phones? Guns? Sliske mentioned that they had their 'terrible science' or something like that in Endgame, so it seems to me that they might have technology similar to what we have in real life. On top of that, is it all powered by the Schism, or have they discovered other methods of energy production like we have in real life?

Do Mahjarrat have enhanced senses? We know they have great noses (Kharshai was able to smell Enahkra enough to trigger his memory of being attacked by her), but since they don't eat/drink, and their flesh decays, I don't know if their sense of taste or touch would be all too great, but what about hearing and sight?

The vyres' ability to dodge incoming attacks. Are you able to give us any insight on how it works, in full? I'd imagine it only works on creatures that would be 'prey' to their 'predator'. So, it'd work on elves, humans, gnomes, and dwarves, but perhaps not Mahjarrat, icyene, or demons. And how would it work on hybrids? Could they avoid an attack that Moia or pre-vyre Safalaan sends at them? Would it be possible to enchant a weapon to bypass that ability?

Is Teragard meant to be Greek, like how Infernus and the Zarosian Empire are Latin/Roman? Saradomin's daughter is named Adrasteia, which is very Greek, but apparently she isn't FROM Teragard. Are the icyene (or the Saradominist culture as a whole) meant to be Greek? Basically, what part of RuneScape story is meant to be Greek-inspired? Mods pls notice me

A question kinda for RS Wikia ...
What's the in-house name for all the 6th Age Conflicts that have been going on since While Guthix Sleeps to Sliske's End Game (this includes World Events)?
(sort of like how the last God Wars was simply called the "God Wars".)

Zulkir said :
Is there a definitive in-house plan for Floor 61?

Do we have more secrets to discover there other than a corpse and the Rift?

Speaking of, can we have an answer as to who the Smuggler is? Or is that to be saved when (Hopefully) Floor 61 is released.

Posted these questions.

Ingame, there are many types of golems, from the clay golems of Al Kharid, to the rune guardians, to the ones utilized in WE2, made of dead creatures. However, there seems to be no link connecting the creation of these inventions. So did these different inventions inspire one another, or was it all coincidence that different inventors all came up with the same idea of creating a magic robot? The legendary creators have been long gone from this world. When they return, they'll be surprised and angered of their creations' new sapience. Meanwhile, the world's most elite, summoned to be its guardians, have abandoned their purpose and intend to plunge the world into chaos. -- Bionicle or RS?

Thanks for this!

What's the new Camorra lore we veterans cannot access?

It has been said that the Seers' Village is multi-cultural - what are the various cultures in the mix?

I created a noob account just to get this information. It was a quick line, but basically Camorra stole the Ice Queen's gloves in order to take an Entranan Fire Bird as a pet. Thank you! That doesn't give us much - Camorra slew the dragon Garak and had a pet Entranan Fire Bird - not exactly a life-story.
