Amazing story! I would LOVE to see as much of these as possible! Maybe one about Ikov? I'd love to know just who exactly he was...

As soon as I saw "Harold" I knew who it was. Very great suspense though :)

One thing jumps out at me, though it is a bit of a lesser detail:

Original message details are unavailable.
the Imperial Army's widespread use of weapon enchantments meant that even the lowliest bronze short sword retained its point and its edge nigh indefinitely, and there'd been no call for such a solution.


Does this mean that the reason why metal weapons do not degrade is because they are enchanted with a form of Ancient/Zarosian magic?!

I really wish that we could get these stories more often, they're always fun to read. It'd be great to get a story that tied up some of the loose ends left by Legacy of Blood, since there won't be anymore novels to follow it. I would also love to see something involving the werewolves, since lore revolving around them is severely lacking. Perhaps something from Jerrod's perspective - life in Canifis or the years he spent earning money for Handelmort in the Fight Arena, something along those lines.

I love this so much! it was nice to get some Cres lore, seeing as he died pretty quickly after his introduction, and it was rather nice to see Harlold outside of his role as death, as we rarely get a chance to engage with him as a 'person' ingame, besides during Deathcon 2 when we see him fangirling over his favourite band :)


What would really be nice though, is if an ingame link could be added to characters with deep ties to the lore, such as Reldo, or the varrock museum (perhaps, at a push, tie in an exhibit with each lore story? :) ) We could ask him about some of his rarer findings which would open up the lores and histories section, helping newer players to engage with the lore?

Infact. Yeah, I'm just gonna totally propose each time a new story is released, you add a new exhibit to the varrock museum to draw people there, with the specific exhibits offering a summary of the content, and a link for us to read the full story if we wish!

Would give the museum some real use beyond tasks :)

Request that in the premier club Q&A section to get an answer. I like that idea. :D

Beautifully written.

The only thing that I find weird is the "Dark Imperator" title since we've never seen it used in this dimension, only in New Varrock.

Unrelated to the new story, but the version of "History of Gielinor" on the new Lores and Histories section is one that's been edited by players while it was on the official wiki, as opposed to the original one written by Paul Gower way back when the Lores and Histories section was first released. The original version was actually more accurate than the current one, as it's consistent with the Varrock Museum displays and doesn't mix up stuff that happened before the First Age, the First Age, and the Second Age.

Anyway, could it possibly be replaced with the older version? Some changes may need to be made to reflect the Runecrafting retcon and to include the Sixth Age, but personally I wouldn't mind it staying as it was originally.

I could link an archived version of the original on Twitter or something if you're interested.

Yes please.
