Hallowvale is early second age, and it was the Icyene colony on Gielinor.
The Sleeping Seven:
Original message details are unavailable.
Though little is known of the Fourth age, especially in the land now known as Morytania...
...Eight centuries and a score into the history of our land there came a darkness which fell about the land once called Hallowvale.
From this we can tell that the book was written in the fifth age.
With the 4th age lasting ~4,000 years and the 2nd age lasting ~2,000 years, this means that obviously it isn't referring to 820 years before it was written, as that would still just be late 4th age, so it has to be saying that Hallowvale saw 820 years of Saradominist rule.
Then assuming Hallowvale fell at the beginning of the 3rd age, this would put the founding of Hallowvale at year ~1,200 of the 2nd age. There are then three options:
1. Saradomin willingly made a colony on the other side of an aggressively expanding superpower.
2. Zaros arrived first (contradicting established lore) and Saradomin made Hallowvale as is first settlement.
3. Forinthry was built in less than 820 years. (All ~3,300,000km^2 if we assume Gielinor is the same size as Earth. (Surprisingly, this is only a third of what the Romans managed in half the time, but they didn't start out with stone age tech.))
Of these, only 1 is likely.So then Zamorak was justified for invading as Hallowvale was 820 years of a figurative middle finger towards Forinthry.
