If you look at Osborne's post a couple of pages back we can't confirm the frostenhorn. I still wonder about the wilderness artefact they could just be looking for the stone of jas or something though so it could be the same as another one I guess?

I'm still convinced its Quin's horn that we have heard precious little about. My guess, after the sea monsters started dying, she lost the horn somehow, and hid the loss in some manner and was able to keep a massive uproar from happening by using everyone's fear of her.

Who knows, maybe she lost the horn before the sea monsters started dying, and she hunted them down to eliminate the theory of its disappearance with probable explanation, or the sea monsters could have just moved back to wherever THEY call home after the horn was lost, and no one has seen them since.

I don't know, I just want to see a quest line that takes us into the eastern Lands, and if I get my hands on that horn, I will be very happy. *imagines riding into battle atop a massive whale shark and other strange beasts.* "We call it being a hero"

^well, I guess we won't know until we get more information, and personally, I'd much prefer a horn that allows control over animals in the same way as Quin's

perhaps their both part of a larger hole, after all, I do find it hard to believe that it could be in the ocean at one time, and then where we found it, that just doesn't add up. "We call it being a hero"

It doesn't but remember for some reason Quin's power waned which is what makes us able to start the port up again. I find it weird too. Maybe neither are the horn and are simply a pair of horns that perform the same function.

Other than Jagex nobody knows anything.

^ i would assume the reason her power waned would be because she lost the horn, in which case we could possibly find it in game. I don't buy that about neither of them being the elder horn, because at least Quin's horn seems to have ridiculous amounts of power, to the point where she wanted to be worshiped as a goddess. the frostenhorn is also considerably powerful, so much so that it focused the demonic and freezing energies of an area into the ice demon, without any assistance from a user.

I'm thinking that the elder horn was actually broken, the smaller half being known as the frostenhorn, and the larger becoming quin's horn. I have a theory that Guthix either hid, broke or rid himself of all the elder artifacts he found, save for the stone of Jas. So Guthix finds the horn, eventually breaks it into two halves, throws one into the ocean west of Ghorrock, and the other into the ocean seperating us from the East.

Eventually the smaller half,(frostenhorn) which is able to take subtle amounts of power and amplify them, washes up on the beach of Ghorrock possibly during the second age. The other half stays hidden much longer, until possibly found by some fisherman and eventually ending up in Quin's hands. This horn has the ability to take already considerable power and amplify it to demi-god levels. "We call it being a hero"

That would be interesting. Also idk if Quin was on the level of any gods. Sure she wanted to be worshipped as one and the control of sea monsters is impressive but we don't know enough about it.

The horn being split though interesting idea.

Also I don't believe we've seen the full power of the frostenhorn because it's use has been without any users really. Atm it is stuck amplifying prayer energy to attract Zaros' attention.

Ofc this has no apparently powerful effect but for all we know it is incredibly powerful because we don't know the level of amplification needed to reach Zaros.

Makes me wonder what will happen to the barrows icon and the frostenhorn AFTER Zaros returns. Surely he wouldn't need it. Perhaps we could use it for our own gain. *points horn at morytanias cast bloom, all of morytania turns to forest*- that would be incredible :P

Perhaps Demi-god wasn't the right phrase for her power level, but she was certainly more powerful than anyone else in the region.

You made me thing of something as well, if the horn and barrows icon were both much more effective than intended, is there anything stopping other foreign gods, like say Tuska, noticing it and slipping into Runescape? that'd be interesting. "We call it being a hero"

Tuska isn't interested in prayer energy it seems s not her but others could. It is strange though. Perhaps Zaros liked payer energy a bit more than the other gods. We could use come clarification on that.

As for the Horn I like to think that Zaros will use it to make up for lost power.

I had an idea about the Zaros return quest where we would basically use only ancient related things. We'd use ice spells to freeze stuff, blood spells to lure away Vampyres, shadow spells to hide etc. However to explain this I though maybe due to the fact last minute communication with Zaros is kind of useles maybe we could use the horn to explain why our spells had more powerful and different effects.

I doubt the Baros Icon or the Relic will be useful except or maybe Zaros' own enjoyment of prayer energy. The horn I definitely see being useful.

Yes Quin definitely was more powerful than anyone in the region through the control of sea monsters. Arguably mages and stuff on the eastern lands were more powerful than her specifically but controlling sea monsters gave her so much control of the sea she was essentially untouchable.
