Zaros's comment that the sixth elder wasn't of substance but "of something else" leads me to believe that the Sixth is something akin to a force/spirit than a giant behemoth like the other elders. Perhaps there was a war/fight long ago that the Sixth lost with the other elders and was cursed to be forever reborn without a physical body. It stands to reason if Mah represents potential, the Sixth instead represents powerlessness. That doesn't mean the Sixth doesn't have influence, but means that -- without a physical form -- it cannot easily or directly influence *anything* that happens. Instead, the Sixth would need to manipulate and possess other entities into doing its bidding and use subterfuge, secrecy, and stealth among the universe's happenings to enact its plan. I like the possibility that the Sixth serves the same role as Apophis serves in Egyptian mythology...a malign force of entropy that works to bring about an end to order...perhaps the Zamorak that Zamorak only dreams of being, an Elder God of Chaos, of sorts. Because of there is to be an opposite to "potential", I can think of no better candidate than "chaos"...in chaos, potential loses its predictability, its rhyme, its reason for existing.

In this idea, I can see any permanent damage coming to the Stone, as by shattering, would dramatically shift the storyline of the Elder Gods into a full-blown war of survival.

I wonder if the Sixth is actually possessing someone right now? Given his actions.. and his origins...
Oh Zaros... it's Sliske! Think about it! While his actions suit Zaros's purpose for the most part, the only thing Sliske has done since the start of the 6th Age is cause chaos, destruction, death, and all that. Maybe the Stone is the Sixth after all, but the Stone is a display of Jas's power in that Jas trapped the Sixth inside the Catalyst, and the Sixth has been using that to possess multiple beings... interesting..

That would make sense!



I also find it funny that we blow up the Stone of Jas in our hallucinations in RoB :P Somehow I think if Sliske actually does shatter the stone, it wouldn't be with a barrel of gunpowder!

Isn't it funny that the first thing I thought of when I did that was this thread? I wonder if Jagex is watching this thread? xD A

The mysterious voice in Kindred Spirits makes me wonder what's going on with the whole SoJ storyline, since the voice merely wants to use the stone to collect all of the gods together. This lends credence to the idea that the Stone is disposable to Sliske (and the voice), even though Sliske has become quite attached to the stone. sTReTCh1028

i have a less likely theory, The elder gods didn't disappear instead they were locked away or trapped in a certain place and the stone of jas is the catalyst that connects their power to glienor, now if that power was given to a certain user they could release the elder gods or at the very least locate them, this kind of knowledge would give the user a much much bigger advantage, if sliske's end game is to destroy that link then the gods powers would be limited so much more as they can no longer reach out to the stone of jas for its power boost. it would take this entire competition hes created and literally burn it up in flames just like he did when he killed guthix. another way to look at it is that the stone of jas is a catalyst for jas power which is known to be TIME, Sliske might not be after the power boost but instead the ability to control that specific power, it was the only the elder artifcat to be protected by the dragonkin because it was the only one that was truly a danger to the elder gods because of its likely ability to control time. Simply wanting the stone for power results in another Lucian so it must have another more dangerous power beneath at the end of the day no matter how much power you get from it, the dragon kin will get more because they are more closely connected to it.

Who called it? WHO CALLED IT? :D

I was going to congratulate you in-game on calling it, but I was afraid of spoiling it for you in case you didn't know.

Well, it didn't quite happen the exact way you pictured it, but yes, it looks like something that's played a huge role in the Gods and Mahjarrat storyline is now out of the picture. We'll have to wait and see how this affects them, and the dragonkin who are supposedly now free of their enslavement to it.
