Hmm… yeah, the Heir as Jas's redheaded stepchild would make sense. I remember Jas being excluded from the Heart of Stone poll. Even Mah, while not a part of the final poll, had "Mah and the Abyss" mentioned, but Jas didn't even get that , because there were plans for her. So my Heir theory is about what those particular plans for Jas are. All of the options involved an Elder God's awakening, so either Jas is awakening, or something else is going on.

I go with Heir because, while I could see it being a "Daughter", it's about a vessel. So either this is a female aspect in control, or it's whoever wins the contest, and considering how Armadyl and - to an extent - Vorago both identify as male, I'm being gender neutral. For example, Armadyl becoming the Heir would probably have different plans than whoever you would prefer to win Sliske's Contest, unless the Heir overrides the vessel's personality, which would go back to the notion of the quests being accessible if there's only one personality for the Heir to account for. Not to mention that, the more potential candidates there are for the Heir, the more Hazeels we'll get in the Endgame, which would hinder the idea of having the God storyline able to continue even after the Stone of Jas story ends.

Going forward with the Dragonkin storyline, the Dragonkin could stay bound to Jas, while the Heir would probably contribute more directly to the Elder God pillar. Maybe we'll at least get closer to Seren figuring out a plan for stopping the Great Revision.

I was thinking more along the lines that the Heir would have its own personality as well. Far easier to start from there in the next leg.

The "Daughter" may only need a vessel or host until it can solve the problem itself, or with a little help. And from what Mod Osbourne said, the Elder Gods are inherently female, at least when referring to gender. The purpose of adventure is to shine light into dark places,

Holy crap that's brilliant.

Sliske's Endgame shows the stone looking particularly strange, glowing with the individual pieces visible, almost as if the energy inside it is molten and volatile.

The how could change, but I'm all but certain the stone will be destroyed forever. It's not like teleporting it away to where no one would ever find it via plugging in 3 random coordinates did anything.. Headcanon Haven, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

Interesting theories on the Heir of Jas ideas, but I don't think that'll happen simply because it makes the Dragonkin storyline irrelevant. There's no "problem" for the Dragonkin anymore if the stone is "hatched"...however, if it still exists, in the form of millions of shattered shards polluting the entire planet...well now their problem has gotten WORSE and drastically more complicated. Since the Dragonkin story is meant to be one of the main pillars of the age, it seems very unlikely that the Stone's influence will be removed...although, the form of a "stone" will.


I mean, think about it -- Sliske is not in this just for power or to give one of the gods a stone. He never intended that. That would be boring and simply maintain the status quo of "God gets stone, god uses it, gods fight for it, another god gets stone" that has plagued the land for Ages, literally.

What better way to PERMANENTLY spice things up than get everyone in on the action? Make everyone a player? End the "God Killer Game" with the opening ceremony of a brand new game...the "You Are A God! You Are a God! You Are a God! Everyone Is a God!"

Well, not really, but think about it...if Stone of Jas shards are like runestones scattered over the Earth, just IMAGINE the chaos! Imagine how that changes things. The gods can no longer be a tiny elite group. Humans, gnomes, elves, dwarves...but also aberrant spectres, minotaurs, harpe swarms, abyssal demons, stryke***ms...everyone could find shards and gain immense power, even godly power if they gain enough of it. Remember Nomad in DoT getting a tiny shard and exclaiming at the power he gained? Imagine that for the common man now...

The Phoenix - Black Arm Gang War just got real. Hazeel's Cult sets realistic aims to control Ardougne. The Dark Tower uses shards to power a weapon to control Asgarnia and destroy the Wizard's Tower. The Wise Old Man sets in motion his world domination strategy. Literally everything changes.

Think about it. sTReTCh1028

Wonder if that could change depending on the vessel, but it still needs one. I think it will have its own personality, but there has to be some reason for why a particular host would be chosen, as we may choose who wins the whole contest.

I mentioned in the Heir of Jas thread that the Stone during Dishonour Among Thieves also looks like it's beginning to hatch.

Edit: and would you look at that, the other thread that quoted me got bumped. This is so meta now ;o I'm too Unaligned to have a forum signature.

Not gonna lie, this is probably one of the more interesting theories I've heard about the Stone after the endgame. Which probably means Jagex won't do it because that means they have to actually write an interesting story to live up to the potential changes this sort of thing can cause...and after their show with the Sixth Age so far I'm not holding out much hope for that happening :(

Though this would finally give us a chance to explore the whole world guardian thing in better detail instead of sitting on the sidelines. Or start giving the Godless/V factions a storyline to show us how they intend to deal with new gods that come about because of the changes.
