@ Big Storms - I wouldn't say this changes anything we already know about Guthix and his awakening at the destruction of Forinthry. That was still the catalyst for Guthix returning and establishing the edicts.
A lot was deliberately left to the imagination, as filling in those gaps yourself is one of the joys of reading prose fiction.
The way I see it is that Cres is completely suffused and sustained by the Anima Mundi. What speaks to him in his dreams is a sort of echo of Guthix - a way for Guthix to work through his followers, and a fail-safe in case anything goes really bad. Remember - he believes that the gods shouldn't interfere with the world - including himself. Consider, too, his relative power - his awakening would be an absolute last resort for him.
For me, while Guthix may have had a modicum of awareness - even agency - while he slept, he was still definitely out of the picture. It took a truly cataclysmic event before he had no option but to step in himself.
But that's just how I interpret it - the cool thing about lore in a shared world like this is that it's everyone's , and we all bring our own take on the RuneScape world. What do you guys think?

One thing's for sure, though - Ipcress isn't Harold's uncle. He's just having fun ribbing a grumpy old guy.

@ Rabpyre - hmm - the Zamorak typo is already fixed, as far as I can see. Perhaps some manner of cache-based strangeness. Fixed the 'of' bit, though - thanks for that.
@ Defiantpawn - Duly noted - a more prominent link is something we can consider in the future.
