It seems to me that Drakan may have been torn from the Myreque storyline by Mod Osbourne for use as Morytanias presence in the greater scale of things, which makes sense because it leaves the Myreque with the same Vanescula/Myreque/Vampyric socitey trio of powers to form the basis of the Myreque quests whilst still allowing Morytania to interact with the wider world. The mystery surrounding Drakan and his teased at motivations make him versatile enough that he isn't necessarily even a player in the politics of Morytania.

More importantly, would the Icyene even make it to the throne of Castle Drakan before the Myreque? The vyres would likely see the return of Saradomin as the key threat and rush off to fight the invaders at the Salve resulting in another icyene/vyre war, leaving Vanescula and the Myreque in much better positions to even up the power triad.

Hmm, I never thought about it before in that way. Perhaps that is why Mod Osborne said that Drakan might not be in his castle after all, because he is involved elsewhere.

Is it possible for a 'win' scenario to occur for the Myreque while Drakan is alive and kicking? Perhaps so if this 'rock' of his has anything going for it.

First off, I would like to apologise for asking people to post questions for the Lore Q and A and then forgetting to do so myself. Doh!

Anyway, I picked out these points. Some are interesting, one might be, some are not.

Original message details are unavailable.
4) Is Vanstrom Klause really dead?
Mod Osborne 4) Yes, very dead. Twice dead, technically!


That probably means that I'm wrong to speculate that Vanstrom will come back to haunt us in some way, but does 'twice dead' mean that he wasn't always a Vampyre?

Are the novels canon? - Mod John A: We also can't rely on all RS players having read the novels. That means we can't write in-game stories that assume the player has read the novels; the novels are an optional extra rather than something you have to read in order to get the full story of RS.


That's not the full quote, but the main point to garner from that is that what happened in the novels will have no bearing on the future of the series, lest those who haven't read them miss out on the full story.

When Drakan took over morytania alot of people living in morytania were captured, how is it that the Myreque managed to get past the vampires and went in to hiding without being noticed? Cause even vanstrom klause couldn't find them anywhere until we came along to assist him.. :o

Mod Osborne - There is something or someone interesting among the Myreque that makes them more than human.


Mos Osborne could be referring to Safalaan here, but we already know that. That 'something' makes me think that he is referring to the 'someone' having a special power which ordinary humans don't have. This would be Ivan Strom and his 'faith' in Saradomin, as described in In Search of the Myreque, though he later has some disagreements with the church's teachings. Ivandis Seergaze might have left another legacy which we don't know about, as some other posters have already suggested.

A divine nub said:
Will there be a new myreque quest anytime soon? Cause after vanstrom died Morytania isn't truly free of drakan yet, will there be a quest where we can fight drakan himself and finally free morytania of these vampires?

Mod Osborne - Not soon, I'm afraid. But it's on a "really, really want" list. We have an outline for what we want to achieve, and it would likely form the final quest in the series. Drakan would of course feature.


Self-explanatory.


Original message details are unavailable.
1. How will the aftermath of the World Wakes change King Roald and the kingdom in their constant vigilance against the Wilderness, and Morytania? Will there be a quest to cover this?

Mod Osborne - 1. He would have to change his approach to Morytania, in my opinion. More of that in future story


This doesn't necessary mean that he's watching Drakan. Sliske has a presence in Morytania too. Nonetheless, things are stirring in Morytania. See the point below.

Sozerius said:
If Sliske has gained newfound power, will this also impact a change on his slaves- the Barrows Brothers? (perhaps even hinting into the hinted upcoming Barrows update)

Mod Osborne - Great question. If Sliske were to have knights, it would be the Barrow Wight*. That means they wouldn't necessarily gain in power, but they may get more exposure soon.

Scapeon said:
Will anything involving Safalaan be happening in the not too distant future? What with him being half icyene it intrigues me.

Mod Osborne - A continuation of the Morytania quests is something we want to do, but are not working on. Can I say that Mod Ana has a fantastic outline for story?


At least we now know that Mod Ana is still the chief architect of the finale.

X Pur3 04, on the novel quote, you could at least have mentioned that he stands by his 'canon unless contradicted' thing!

But anyway. Can we try to compare this, though, to the lore stories we have on the websites? {Edit: website, not 'websites'...}

The lore stories associated with quests, that is, like 'The Rising Sun - Ozan's Tale', 'The Burning Tower - Ariane's Tale', 'The Song from Before the War'...

Can we consider those to be 'an optional extra rather than something you have to read in order to get the full story of RS.'?

Now, I'll post this then continue reading your posts, X Pure 04.
The Asgarnian ale must flow.

We can consider them optional extras but those are 100% canon I'd think.

I am very interested in what Ana is going to do with the series. I want her to keep the gods out of it but maybe in the very last quest the barrier falls and that provides a lead for more Morytania quests involving gods not strictly Myreque.

Sorry, Kittyphantom. I only included that part of the answer because it's the most relevant to the future of the series. As for the lore stories, they're freely and easily accessible by anyone. A marketed novel is a different matter.

Balustan, the lore Q and A makes me think that Mod Osborne is keen to get the Myreque storyline concluded, even though they've only got a brief sorted out. This would allow Morytania (and, perhaps, Drakan?) to be used as a part of the Sixth Age saga in a different way. In other words, maybe he can't include the return of the gods to a large extent because of the series.
