Greetings.
Today I pose a simple question to the lore community, but first, some
shameless plugging
context:
In August 2013, it was established (with the help of a certain prophet
) that the chaos druids of Taverly were an order founded by the madman Urval, who would later come to be known as Urval the Exile, some time in the late Fourth Age.
It was Urval's unshakable belief that the gods Zamorak and Guthix were the two faces of one metaphysical coin. In his quest to unravel the mysteries of the Zamorak-Guthix godhead, he turned to animal--and later, human--sacrifice in exchange for demonic confession. As his macabre studies progressed, he developed a rudimentary, shamanistic form of necromancy, which he employed to better understand the meaning of the now and the hereafter, that he might draw closer to the wisdom of Zamorak. It was this ghastly liturgy that enticed a number of Taverly's most depraved druids into his fold, and thus, the cult of the chaos druid was born.
For his atrocious crimes against Taverly and nature itself, Urval and his acolytes were banished to the dank dungeons just south of the sleepy village, where they continue their founder's dark work to this day.
Where, then, do the far-flung chaos druid covens of Yanille, Ardougne, and Edgeville come from? Are they adherents of Urval's cult? Could we infer that Urval sent missionaries to other nations? Do they believe that Zamorak is Guthix's "ultimate form", as it were? What are their histories?
And just what exactly would Ikadia think?
