...I just did the Gower quest.

I can no longer take Zaros seriously...

Why? Zaros never appeared in Gower Quest. That was obviously Zaros. Who, by the way, is tall, handsome, a total super genius, and is obviously super great at bass guitar.

Yeah! That was obviously Zaros. That's why I am always in a state of completely hating him and never taking him or his followers seriously. Mad that Zaros is the realest G in Gielinor. I don't blame you, bruh, I don't blame you.

You misspelled Sueros.

Did I mention that Sueros is fantastic at Smash?

Think of it this way:

If the Godless faction is to come out of this struggle on top, who is going to be in charge? Mortals. But mortals are prone to succumb to greed, passion, lust, etc. This means things like, war, disease, hatred will not cease with their victory.

In order for peace and harmony there must be a sacrifice of will. If Zaros is to succeed he will be able to provide it. How? Let me explain. Being is aloof in his philosophies -he would not fall to the appetites of mortals. It's already been stated that Zaros has no desire for massive conflicts or wars or revenge, all he cares about is manipulating through the shadows and controlling fate.

In many ways he is like Guthix. He desires a Utopian society and that is made possible only when an omnipresent being manipulates from the shadows. You remember how I spoke of a sacrifice of will? This would be it. Say for example I wanted to rob a store, Zaros' influence would inhibit me from disrupting the peace. So, in other words, we give Zaros the power over our lives and in return he prevents all evil.

Consider his words:

"It is my belief that everything that occurs in life - both good and bad - should be used to forge oneself, to better oneself. Where Guthix sought balance in the world, I seek balance in oneself."

Zaros has found balance in his self. He is immune to the frailties of man and believes that a world cannot find peace unless the people achieve balance. Thus he will not be corrupted by his position and we can have full confidence in him. He is a being of logic and control, being neither good or evil.

The other gods have sought to pollute his name after his death not because he was evil but because he sought to neutralize all power and unbalance.

Zaros is going to change us, and then we will change the world. He will instill within us the 'logic' as he rules from the shadows. How? Through control and fate (experiences). He is a teacher more than a ruler.

So what I am getting at is that Zaros had the same vision as Guthix. The means by which he tried to enact it were the only difference. He did not see his acts as evil but as a necessary means to an end. The greater good. Thus by following Zaros, you are by no means betraying Guthix but rather achieving his vision. Zaros is a win-win for you!


Fate and Control. Lord Zaros, I await your orders.

Follow Zaros for the power,and also because most of the other gods are hypocrites,except for armadyl maybe,which i hate to admit, since i still have to get over the fact he killed bandos in that popularity contest without losing a wing or two despite bandos's side killing much more with less people.

I do agree that mortals being free to govern themselves will probably end in disaster after disaster. Personally IF I were to go with the Godless, I'd want them to choose an Overseer of Gielinor, if you would call it that. Basically, mortals themselves are a great source of imbalance, and for the balance to be maintained, there has to be someone who makes sure of it. Naturally of course, I would choose the World Guardian to keep the Balance, for that was obviously who Guthix chose.
That being said, I'm not sure that any single mortal, even the World Guardian, can hold the weight of the entirety of Gielinor on their shoulders in that sense. Which is another reason why I support
Zaros.
I truly believe that his system of guiding mortals to find balance in oneself is the best method of maintaining Balance in the world. (That's MY take on it. Sepulchre herself is Zarosian regardless, honestly. My other character is the one who takes Balance really seriously.)

Sepulchre supported Zaros even before he was revealed to be a much nicer person than we anticipated. She doesn't trust any of the other gods, as they seem to be nothing but trouble for the world, and have personally frustrated her already. She was drawn in by the mysterious air surrounding him, and the interesting past and future only serve to make her more likely to follow him. A

Become a Serenist. Her faction is basically the godless, but with a god that obeys the command of mortals. The godless have no elder artefacts or any great power. The serenists have a t2 goddess to protect you. The godless have nothing powerful. They only have themselves to fend. Seren was also Guthix's lover. I worship Mah, for she is mah homegirl! The correct adjective for Mah's followers are: Mahomies, Mah-homeboys, or Mah-homegirls.
