Please continue your Heir of Jas idea in your own thread. This thread isn't about that.
The 2 could tie together, Young gods cannot have children, a little fiddling by an Elder, the new one, and maybe these ones could...that would change everything and still get you the chaos you mentioned.

The egg just turning everyone into gods, would be...bad, species wise.

Swarms of pass it on genetically Avatars on the other hand...
The purpose of adventure is to shine light into dark places,
Poke monsters with a sharp stick, Then steal anything that isn't nailed down!

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.


Yeah, you are speaking truth. It would massively diversify the storyline of the Sixth Age and necessitate a lot more effort into what happens next.

It would take a Sixth Age that has been mostly a series of discrete conflicts and turn it into an all-out war. This is why I think it should happen -- it fits exactly with what Sliske wants. Society likes order. The gods are meant to be atop the social and religious structure. This is their struggle. Flip that on its head...give everyone a personal stake, and give the promise of power to everyone...order is upheaved. Suddenly, the entire world is plunged into total war.
The struggle to possess the largest amount of Jas Shards becomes the impetus for the new God Wars, but instead of a cast of 5 or 6, this God War has a constantly changing cast of dozens or more. Factions split and form, allegiances are tested, trickery and shenanigans become the way of life...Sliske succeeds in the most ultimate way possible.

This also gives the Godless a true way to fight back, along with Invention. The war against the gods becomes basically using the power of the gods against them.

"So", Sliske says, "as promised, the Stone will be handed to the winner!" *insidious laugh* "But why must we let one person partake in all the fun? How BORING it is to continue this same Hot Potato Game with the Stone for eternity on end? You gods are all so...short-sighted. It's all about power, power, power...you never think about....the Endgame." *picks up Stone* "So let's end this game with the beginning of all others. Why must you few partake in all the fun? Let's have everyone play along! So here, the Stone is yours...if you can put it back together again**** HEEE HEE HEE" *smashes stone and ends his game and begins a new era in Runescape:*

I'd so be in to that.

With the release of the scoreboard, it isn't too surprising that sliske is in the lead.
(a bit of a troll on the in game gods, and the players in general)

It does make for an interesting scenario where, like you said, he could literally shatter it.
- There is a tie?
- Sliske could give a different interpreation? (he said he would give the Stone of Jas to the winner, he technically didn't say "how" or "what condition" )

There's also a scenario or three in which Sliske ends up the big winner in his own game. (Jagex so far hasn't included him in any of the factional events, probably for this very reason). But, as the Stone would be his, he could do with it as he pleases. Give it to someone. Shatter it (in a way "sharing" it with everyone)

Yeah I think shattering it offers the most potential moving forwards. It really makes the dragon kin intriguing because now this stone is everywhere and tons of people are false users. The curse would kick into overdrive. I shudder to think what they would do about that. sTReTCh1028

The Dactyl are distinguished by their ability to resist the curse, so if more False Users would kick the curse into overdrive, then it would make it much harder for the Dactyl to resist, converting them into Necrosy*tes. The two methods we've seen for countering the curse involving destroying the Echoes of Jas for the Dactyl, while the Necrosy*tes need to avoid becoming Abominations.

The Dactyl are on the right track, since defeating the Echo at least offered a step for Kerapac in coming up with a solution, although isn't the only Dactyl, so the other members of the faction could develop their own methods, but the Necrosy*tes made one step forward, and two steps back. For advancing the Dragonkin storyline, we should probably focus on the Necosyrtes first. Hero's Welcome is Experienced, so it wouldn't have the same requirement wall as One of a Kind, and that quest actually deals with the False Users as a factor.

Sliske's endgame will draw to a close with Sliske somehow finding a way to shatter the Stone of Jas and send its shards littering the landscape of Gielinor.


Are you ready for some dragon ball hunting?

The act likely would cause an explosion and jolt in the anima of Gielinor


Instead of giving people god magic it would more likely shake the earth's anima and wake the elder gods

I imagine it would look like when you put a tea bag in hot water or add milk but seeping into the planet violently
