This is a great theory. I believe our choice in endgame will be to encourage Zamorak to go along with our plan and raise the elders or have him not to and he and Zaros both vanish. Leaving the stone in Sliskes hands again and he just does it anyways. I have seen the dark universe yawning, where the black planets roll without aim;
Where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge or lustre or name.

This might sound strange, but isn't it possible that Zaros will order Zamorak to let Zaros kill him? :D


Honestly, this is where I'm at.

Zaros doesn't want to make Zamorak a martyr as that will just mobilize more opposition against him. So I doubt Zaros will use it to let himself kill Zammy.

That being said, that doesn't preclude making Zamorak vulnerable to another god's assault (making that god and their followers the target of the Zamorakian's ire), having Zamorak forfeit the stone to Zaros, or making Zamorak enter another binding contract (even more in Zaros's favor this time).

Only Zamorak would die. Zaros already held up his end of the deal. "We call it being a hero"
"That's interesting, we call it utter stupidity"

I doubt he'd just ask Zamorak to kill himself. Zamorak would just give him the finger and rebel against him and die after. Whatever it is, it has to be something that isn't worth dying over, otherwise Zaros doesn't get anything out of it except maybe some pissed Mahjarrat. Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.

It was never actually specified how the pact works afaik. For all we know if the pact isn't fulfilled both parties are cursed. That's how I would make the pact at least, that way it would prevent elaborate murder attempts where you lure someone into a pact and then force them to fail so you can cause them to unravel or whatever.

You forget, this is a Chthonian pact. That's exactly how they operated.

It was.

Zaros spoke aloud the terms that both parites, himself and Zamorak, must abide by in the presence of a witness, when the terms are read out again and both parties agree the pact is sealed and each side must fulfill their end of the deal when specified.

Zaros made good on his end right away, He made Zamorak write him a blank cheque for one unquestionable command by calling him by his former title that doesn't need to be paid until Endgame. The terms were quite clear.

If Zamorak fails to obey, he alone will die.

I don't think most cthonians want their rivals existence to unwravel there's nothing left to eat that way lol.

Did it actually specify only the person who fails the contract would die? Or did they just say "if you don't fulfill the contract you die"

Only the person who fails would die. It would make Zero sense to make a pact and deliberately fail in order to kill your enemy and yourself.
