Decode attempt requested. Standby for attempt...

1. Edcy had previously been banished from the forums and has been forced to use alternative means to view this thread, but he is now back.

2. Drakan hasn't invaded Misthalin for a long time simply because the Vampyres have had more than enough blood, until recently. In fact, the Vampyres blood supply is reaching critically low levels. It certainly hasn't helped that Zamorak has grown weaker.

Neither Drezel or Aeonisig Raispher appear to be who they really are.

The Vampyres found Morytania before the Icyene did. The Icyene conquered Morytania and drove the Vampyres out, before Zamorak was able to turn the Vampyres' fortunes around and help them reclaim the land.

Who is Calsidiu? Is he actually a trustworthy member? Is he real?

Second to last paragraph is proving to be difficult to translate. Possible reference to Safalaan and his longing for knowledge of the past. 'Memories' are possibly forged by Vanescula for her own schemes.

Edcy must now depart for the time being.

Also, to address some earlier posts:

Kitty: Sorry for the delay. Would I be right in saying that your counter-argument is that the land was referred to as Hallowvale during the 2nd Age and therefore had to be under Efaritay's control then? That sounds right, but there are a few things that need sorting out before we can settle on this conclusion.

1. What age does Zemouregal's memory come from? If it comes from the Third Age, it adds credence to the old idea that the Queen Efaritay was in charge of Morytania during the Second Age, though it isn't a guarantee that this was the case. Why not? Zemouregal could simply be using modern names to describe the past. Athrenn points out this possibility in another scenario. Bear in mind that the account must have been written after the Second Age, since the end of his memory talks about the God Wars beginning in earnest only at the end of the account.

As far as I'm aware, we do not know when Zemouregal's memory was created, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

2. Jagex has made a lot of lore mistakes and contradictions recently. It is possible that the mod who wrote the memories made a mistake in referring to 2nd Age Morytania and Hallowvale. For example, Hallowvale was just the city now known as Meiyerditch, but Hallowland was the region of Morytania today. Yet the account says ' Drakan was promised the whole region of Hallowvale.' A minor mistake, perhaps, but one worth considering.

The other possibility is that the contradiction was deliberate. So far we've been very much kept in the dark as to the general history of Morytania, so it could have been a conscious decision on Jagex' part keep us guessing by calling it 'the region of Hallowvale'.

Either way, I'm sure we can all agree that Jagex needs to give us answers about Morytania soon before more confusion arises.

I hate to triple post, but I thought I might add some more information gleaned from Mod Osborne's latest q and a.

6. Will we be able to see Lord Drakan in the future?
yes

19) Will Wilderness, the Desert and Morytania ever return back to its state before the God Wars?
That would be incredibly difficult to do, I'm afraid.

31) What exactly are werewolves? How did they come to exist and where are they from?
More in a werewolf quest in the future.

Nothing new there, but here's something to think about.

38) Char has mentioned that there are still other important Zarosians of the old that we haven't met yet. When will the remaining of Zaros' faithful be released to the game?

We have them saved for future content. They will be unique with very certain uses.

The same is true for a couple of guardians of Guthix too. Perhaps Morytania is home to at least one of these people?

In regards to your Point 2:

From 'The Sleeping Seven.' (Ancient tome) :

Original message details are unavailable.
Eight centuries and a score into the history of our land there came a darkness which fell about the land once called Hallowvale . The Queen of that sad time, an Icyene of once formidable power, became to be deposed by 'his-dark-self' and his hordes.

Original message details are unavailable.
The darkness which 'his-dark-self' brought with him at that time writhed through Hallowvale and wrought its way ever onwards into Misthalin. Though many men did slow its progress to what is now called Varrock, none did manage to halt its progress proper and many brave warriors so employed did die a most painful and lingering death.

Original message details are unavailable.
Fearing the darkness would sweep Saradomin's glory from the land, some odd collection of priestly advocates and pious followers of brave virtue stood forwards to steel the hearts of the village fighters and town militias, the last defence against the evil now fresh from Hallowvale, and from that time till now called Morytania .


From 'Histories of the Hallowland' (Battered tome) :

Original message details are unavailable.
In years gone by, the land of Morytania went by another name...that of the, 'Hallowed Land.' (Note that this and the title are the only instances of such a name, possibly the only instances in the entire game. Also notice that it is preceded by 'the'.)

(The same tome goes on to include) :

Original message details are unavailable.
It is the author's belief that this castle existed before Drakan entered Morytania and that some other power existed in the land before him. What this power was is not known, though stories again give us a glimpse at what might have been. One such tale is of a Queen from a far away land of considerable power and revered by the peoples. It is also claimed that the peoples named the land 'Hallowvale' after her, though there is no true record of this.

and
The Asgarnian ale must flow.

Perhaps one day we will see a redress of the evil that Drakan has brought to Morytania, and we will get to witness first hand the bounteous riches and wholesome living that can be had in that land once called 'Hallowvale' .

From 'The Fall of Six' (Lores & Histories on the RuneScape website) :

Original message details are unavailable.
The stranger had watched the campaign from its first footfall into the lands east of the river, always from afar. His lidless eyes were affixed to the six commanders, resplendent in their armour, their weapons poised to attack as yet unmet foes. Behind each commander, a phalanx of war-hardened soldiers, their metallic armour glinting even in the pale light of these dead lands – brilliant fingers of light inching towards the heart of Hallowvale.
The Asgarnian ale must flow.

D'oh! You got me there.

However, my point about it possibly being a mistake still stands, as do the other parts of in-game lore, especially from Branches of Darkmeyer, that point to Drakan's re-conquest taking place in the 4th Age.
