I think that it would be really cool to see some of the werewolves join the Myreque under an uneasy alliance, with distrust on both sides.

I'm not sure they would ever do that...

It should be really hard for the werewolves soon though, as with the Edicts of Guthix removed, nothing is stopping an extremist Saradominist group from just going in and trying to burn Canifis to the ground. "We call it being a hero"

Canifis was already partially burned down by the Myreque once! Although I have my doubts that anyone other than an organized military group could do much damage unless a large number of wolfbane daggers were acquired.

As for the hypothetical alliance, I think that it would make for an interesting plot. Two enemies having to unite, against the odds, in order to achieve a mutually beneficial goal. Distrust on both sides, the vampyres trying to throw a wedge between them. If Jagex is looking to introduce other characters from the novels, this would be the ideal time to throw Gar'rth into the mix.

I was imagining more an army (maybe the Society of Owls) led by Aeonis*g Raispher into Canifis to completely destroy it this time. Hopefully, we'd get a chance to help the werewolves out though. Maybe some Guerilla warfare.

The problem is, the way current things are going, Vanescula would be pulling the strings, and a werewolf alliance doesn't seem very good... Especially with talk of there being a solution for the Vampyre's need for blood, the werewolves could just stick with the Vyres.

I'm not really sure how Gar'rth would be involved, from what I've gleaned, he really hates Zamorak and wouldn't be too keen to help his fellow werewolves out. "We call it being a hero"

@ Centaur

The Society of the Owls isn't really a military organization, they're more similar to secret police or an intelligence agency.

As for the werewolves rebelling, that could actually play to the advantage of Vanescula. She'd have more scapegoats to blame, like she did with the Myreque after she killed Ranis. And seeing as fear is easily exploitable, the werewolves could be pretty easily manipulated and used to her benefit.

This is just an assumption, but I'm willing to bet that if haemalchemy became a success, the vampyres would just discard the werewolves or use them to their advantage in other ways. Perhaps turn the population of Canifis into slaved working in Meiyerditch. After all, they're more physically capable than humans, and the vampyres would no longer have any use for them collecting victims for the tithes.

Gar'rth is not Zamorakian, but he's extremely sympathetic and empathetic toward the other members of his race. He becomes extremely angry with Kara-Meir after she kills a werewolf who attacks her. He also has a pretty strong hatred of the vampyres.

I would think that'd it'd be better for the Vampyres to use the werewolves as warriors to keep the Saradominist* out- seeing as the werewolves are directly in the way of the Vampyres getting destroyed. If they actually sided with the Myreque- that could potentially compound their problems and actually threaten the dominance of the vyres in Morytania.

Personally- I'd just want the Vampyres to stop treating the werewolves like second class citizens. I have no idea how or if that would happen though- as, lets face it, the Vyres are pretty big jerks like that.

Do you think Gar'rth would enter Canifis again to try and encourage the werewolves to rebel against the vyres? Or at least seek a higher status? That'd be cool.

If he thought that he stood a chance of freeing his race from oppression, yes I think he would go back to Canifis. Especially if he thought that he could at least reduce the tension between some of the humans and werewolves.

In the year 164, he only went back to avoid a death sentence, as Roald was blackmailing him with his life. However, since then, he has played his part in killing a powerful vyre lord and stopping an invasion. I believe that he would hold more hope for his race since then. He's also now seen the conditions in the ghettos, which he despises.

If Jagex has any intention of bringing more novel-exclusive characters into the game, I see no better way than this. Although they could still explore what happened to Jerrod after Legacy of Blood.

Hmm...

It seems to me the only place Jerrod could have gone would be either to King Lathas- where he'd probably be made a slave working for the elves- or to Lucien.

In either case- he'd either be dead or escaped by now.

I don't really understand his standing with the Vampyres, but it seems like he'd be interested in their fall from power.

Ugh, I need to buy these books, don't I.... "We call it being a hero"

Yes, buy the books. They were honestly some of the most interesting novels that I've ever read, although that's partly because I'm a lorehound. I have to admit, I wasn't expecting them to be any good before I started reading Betrayal at Falador.
