A handy list there, but make sure that when you say 'could be removed', you specify 'could be removed from requirements' in all cases. We don't want people getting the wrong idea.

Otherwise, this is a good resource for both Jagex and fans to get the lore's chronology straight.

So something I'm quite interested in is what could be converted to a 6th Age quest with ease...

And I had a thought. What about moving Nomad's Requiem to a 6th Age quest? It'd provide motivation for the series again if Nomad no longer wanted to kill Lucien, who's dead anyway. If he was after someone like Moia or Zamorak it'd provide a solid leap into continuing the series, and would mean Mod Mark couldn't call him dead and relegate him to a Boss Fight only.

Another candidate could be the EW quests. They're standalone enough that calling them 6th Age would be little problem, as long as they were removed as requirements for 5th Age quests.

I think EW will eventually link into the elder gods because of the elementals so possibly. I like Nomad' before ROTM and then we find Nomad who needs to find a new use for his powers. He is still a Zamorakian according to Osborne though.

Scorpion Catcher could eh an easy 6th age quest but it should just be reworked. I also think the clock tower would be the same but I don't know if that is required for anything etc.

I honestly don't mind quests going 5th age as long as they are free from all ties and it was never their intention for them to be labelled as 5th age like Branches of Darkmeyer was.

Also the tower of life and deadliest catch. Deadliest catch relates to sea monsters and stuff so potentially could lead to the elder horn and the tower of life deals with creating life but really make no sense anymore.

EW linking to the Elder Gods would make it an even better 6th Age series :D

I think the issue with Nomad now is that nobody at Jagex knows what to do with him. That's why I think changing his motivations might offer a strong story potential for the future.

And yeah, small and standlone quests and series would be great for official 6th Age stuff. As long as they have no requirements for larger 5th Age series, they're fine. @Fannygirdle on Twitter | Co-Owner of The Scrying Pool, a future updates and lore clan

Transcript of Mod Hew and Mod Osborne's stream, starting at 49:50, ending at 51:10. Sorry if it's a little inaccurate, external noises and distractions. Mod Osborne's last line is a little cut off, because I couldn't hear what he said in the rest of it.

Mod O: This segways nicely into something that I wanted to say in this live stream today because obviously people on the lore stream were talking about it.

Mod H: Oh, yeah.

Mod O: I think that some people particularly in the lore stream are under the impression that I'm going to go in and change - retcon lore at the moment just so it fits in with the Sixth Age and what we are doing. That is not the case. If there is anything more than - I mean certainly there is no project to do that on a large scale fashion. The aim is that if there is anything more than a couple of word changes, a couple of sentence changes within a quest, then that is a quest that really deserves to be in the Fifth Age, and we would probably move it into Fifth Age, which is - there's no difference it's just the case of you acknowledging that it's a Fifth Age quest when you go to play it. So please don't get under the impression that we're doing a large-scale overhaul of all Sixth Age quests so that it fits in the Sixth Age and removing any reference to a live Guthix or the edicts of Guthix. So I said something in my last live stream that I just wanted to retract.

Mod H: And that, again, that's why I'm not blaming this on players, but that's the sort of thing where we said something, you said it in good faith, has been a bit misleading. That's a shame.

Mod O: I think it's got a lot to do with the surplus information that comes out of my mouth.

List updated to include every single quest in the game. Fifth Age quest list also a little bit tidier.

Credit to Half Centaur for the help with the Age Neutral quests. You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?

Ok gonna have to disagree on the Elder Kiln and Brink of Extinction because we know the Elder Gods will be involved in the 6th age and as such when they return and the TokHaar are saying in quests that their masters have no returned yet when they have that will be awkward if it is not labelled in the past. I know it could take place at the start of the 6th age but we must remember they are not labelling past to every quest in the past but just what age they are in so labelling 5th age denotes past for certain quests which is a good thing.

I still disagree with you on Koschie's miniquest as Zaros has not gained power in the 6th age so the requirement would be met.

Let them eat pie cannot be 6th age it is built into the linear tutorial experience therefore it is 5th age.

Smoking Kills should be 5th age because of Duradel's replacement as a Slayer Master. It makes more sense that way.

A Soul's Bane I know needs reworked but I still think it fits more 5th age since it talks of an unknown ancient civilisation and is meant to allude to Zaros. Mod Stu wants to rework that and hopefully he gets to and decides whether it's 5th age or not.
