What do the Godless think of Sliske and his faction, I wonder? :P


Currently, I think they would treat him like every other god. A deranged, manipulative zit that needs to be banished soon asap. I doubt they know whether or not he is actually a god or not, but if he wants to play pretend, so be it. Remember, Sliske told us and only us that he isn't really one, and we haven't really had the dialogue option to divulge that secret to anyone yet. I worship Mah, for she is mah homegirl! The correct adjective for Mah's followers are: Mahomies, Mah-homeboys, or Mah-homegirls.

This is precisely why I don't acknowledge the Godless in the same light as other factions.
Also the fact that other factions have philosophies and a way of life, where as the Godless just have a goal.

So I do wonder what becomes of the Godless if they succeed. Do they disband? Do they take on generic tyrants? At what point does 'casting off the shackles' go too far? Will they find something else to target that 'oppresses' them?

Because you're right, Zaros and Seren cannot help being Gods by birth, and their attraction/loyalty ability would only stir things up if word got out. There has been mention that they may get involved with the anima, possibly the Anima Mundi. In which case they will end up building a way of life on the job.

I had asked this question last year when I was a VIP in the VIP Q&A.

1. Seren's spell she casted on the elves isn't known by everyone, unless asked. The Godless view on her would depend on its member. One side would try to see why are the elves so attached to her. The more hardline members would try to put them to understand they don't need her, which technically they don't anymore, but the Godless aren't aware of that fact that Seren is trying to help Gielinor from a greater threat. Now I don't know if the Godless know of the elder gods, I tried asking that question but it was never answered, with the numbers of members, I think one of them would be a seer and have a vision, similar to Xenia, and would inform them. After all, the Godless were aware of Sliske's contest, when only the Gods and us were announced it. So the better question is, What does our leader, B-I-E-H-N think of her and what would he have the faction do.

2. V is dead, so honestly what they think of him is really, just a dead god. THE ONLY THING I can imagine is this. Like me, they would hear his story of being a hero, and how the the Fremenniks didn't worship him, but saw him as a champion, a hero. So the Godless would probably respect the culture of Fremenniks. So honestly, there isn't much about him for them to know. The Hardline would probably be glad that there is one less god now, with maybe a bit of a "I hope the Fremenniks are ok" feeling.

3. Gods like Icthlarin are what the Hardline of the Godless would aim to rid of also, as Mod Osborne stated in thee VIP Q&A section. While other wouldn't, understanding his role over the underworld. But of course the Hardline would think Death would have to do the job alone again like he did before.

Over all it all depends on what the Faction leader B-I-E-H-N wants to do, and what his order is, which according to Garlandia is a more peaceful road.

I spelled out his name because of The filter in the forums.

You need to understand there is still more worlds out there, with more gods and beings aiming to be gods. So honestly they're goal are also a way of life, wanting the world to be free of the gods and their influence, so if they succeed in stopping the gods from influencing Gielinor (Would would mean either banishing them like Guthix, or another option, which depends on the faction leader B-I-E-H-N.) Remember there are still more gods out there, and the current ones wouldn't want another Guthix's attempt, and would once again aim to return to Gielinor, and with the possibility of new gods getting attracted to the attention Gielinor has.

The Godless philosophies is a goal and way of life. Like all the other faction, is a goal and way of life. Don't believe me? Saradomin being order and wisdom, his, and his faction goal is to get rid of evil, including Zamorak's influence of evil. It is to get rid of any evil presence or ideal. So needless to say, the Godless isn't the only ones with goals.

Overall there is factions out there that would do anything to try and call in their gods. So the Godless would stop them. According to Mod Osborne, in the Runescape Podcast # 92 -The Godless, Did you know? ; They are somewhat like Guardians, and if they get their goal, they would interact more with what is going on with Gielinor and it's Anima, as it is something that can give teh gods power.

I doubt the Godless as a whole care about Seren in the slightest. She's secluded in the Tower of Voices and is letting mortals rule with minor guidance, so she's pretty much "dealt with". Why would they care about something that they can just ignore?

V is dead, so I doubt they particularly care about him either, although they probably respect him for discovering Runecrafting.

While they don't particularly like Brassica and Marimbo, Cabbage Facepunch showed that they are at least not violent towards them. Same would probably be true for Icthlarin, who is pretty much never on GIelinor. You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?

Would you say killing/banishing a God is enough to warrant a true victory? Sure Tuska is no longer a threat, but the Airuts and whatever else lurks on Mazcab now have the chance to invade. Not just a mere scouting trip as we've seen at Piscatoris.

Likewise, Bandos may be gone, but the more boneheaded of his followers have all the more reason to cause pointless destruction out of spite. Zanik's afterlife wasn't the most pleasant.
Respect to the goblins who took a trip to V's shrine though.

Surely a better long-term plan would be to destroy the Elder Artefacts, preventing the ascension of another control freak. Rather than outright slaying a God and letting the crown pass on. I look forward to meeting a more logical Godless, Kara-Meir isn't very approachable.

As for what you said about Icthlarin and Death.. are we sure Death ever had to do both? The way both he and Icthlarin make it sound, it seems like Death has always done only the part he does now. Don't forget, up until Amascut got warped by the experiences on Freneskae, Icthlarin makes it seem like there was no danger for the immortal souls. I honestly think all Death had to do before Icthlarin showed up was point them to the right boats and go about his business. Amascut getting psycho'd by Freneskae is the cause for all this trouble. A
