Those contradictions are not too serious and can be taken away with some thinking. I see this strong link as the final proof.

*Spoiler mania*

It seems the book is about the Icyene's homeplane. There is nothing related to Morytania so far though.

Right, I've just read the Saradomin chapters. What we know is that there are Icyene who are still alive. Some of them, however, were or still are in rebellion, most likely against Saradomin.

What I find interesting is the language used to describe them. They are 'filled with hatred' toward something else other than the priest, but the fact that it was a Saradominist priest suggests that Saradomin is the object of their animosity. The book says they attacked from the air, brandishing spears. Sound familiar?

In the past, some of us have discussed the idea that at least some of the old Vampyres were rogue Icyene who joined Drakan's cause. Is it possible that this is the 'minefield' link between the Icyene and the Vampyres which Mod Osborne spoke about? The chronology of the book isn't clear, but it doesn't rule this theory out either.

I've read all the chapters now. And although it reveals some very interesting things about the Icyene's origins and the involvement of Saradomin, there is once again no information about anything Morytania related.

It's also interesting to note that the description of the fall of Senntisten resembles the events of AoG.

I suspect that Jagex is using the hype over the present as an opportunity to screen their rewriting of the past. As long as it is coherent and isn't radically different from what we 'know', it should be ok.

I've gone Armadyl, by the way.

The lore from emissaries is clearly a huge set up and allow clearly some more of the past up and explaining how it all links together. Such the the coming it eh Mahjarrat finally being explained, Zarosian society being explained etc.

I am still unwilling to say this is confirmation on Icyene and Vampyre relations though. Quite frankly the Saradominist book was rather lackluster compared to others.

well about the icyene farm lands stated at the book, there is no confirmation that it really is their original world, instead of just a colony, like Gielinor was. Think about it, it is a bit weird that they mention no city at all? only few small farms.

and um, Saradomin isn't exactly the most forgiving guy; there are high chances that the icyene rebels got caught and punished with death by him.

Yeah, but that's not excessively cruel either, assuming the rebels are rebelling against him. Practically any god would kill those who actively attack his/her followers.

Of course, some of them kill you for honoring them...

I think Balustan is right to say that the information was too vague to make firm judgements on the matter. Still, the rebels seem rather malicious. They're destroying crops and killing priests (who might be civilians) as well as villagers and feel a burning sense of hatred toward their god at the same time. Perhaps killing them is the only way to stop them.
