Now that we know how each god is going to die, I wonder if they'll become successors in case of said death.

Save of course for Armadyl's children who are long dead.

I would point out that we have an extremely vague image of how each god will die. Death also mentioned that he is capable of altering these outcomes. If Death, whose powers come from Guthix, can change the future, then how do we know that we can't do something similar.

As far as I'm concerned, Death revealing these futures to us creates an unnatural ripple into the future timeline. If I can keep Zaros from blowing himself up with power, keep Armadyl from (what sounds to me like) committing suicide, Zamorak from (in my head) using the last of his power to save someone he cares about from being crushed (leaving no power to escape himself), Saradomin doing whatever vague thing involving swords will kill him, Seren from meeting her death (though she seems happy with it), then I may be able to change their future.

I may not ever gain these options, but it's been laid out as a possibility.

I too am hoping that we can stop the deaths. And Zamorak is clearly once again trying to become a martyr. He keeps doing that NO
I do not ship ZamorakxZaros.
I follow them. And Marimbo, the best t5 god.

There were other tribes of children of mah too.

Mahserrat, Chelon-Mah, Mahkorrat... I think there may have been countless tribes!

Mahkorrat? Were those mentioned in Endgame? I got the impression that the Mahjarrat, Mahserrat, and Chelon-Mah were the only tribes.

The Mahkorrat were mentioned in the Endgame, yes. Sliske apparently killed Azzy's little brother and blamed it on the Mahkorrat tribe. So Azzy and Sliske proceeded to wipe the tribe out in an experience that would make Azzy consider Sliske a blood brother up until Sliske spilled the beans during the Endgame to get a rise out of Azzy.

Even if we don't rule out Adrasteia being a post-godhood child, I don't see present-day Saradomin as the type to have any sort of romantic relationship, or even a paternal one with an adopted kid. Saradomin has pretty much divorced himself from ever being mortal at this point. In addition to that, he doesn't mention having any family besides his mortal one (and granted, he could be lying, but the implication is not there).

So, if we rule those out, we are left with the only remaining explanation. Adrasteia is one of his children from when he was mortal. The question we are now faced with is how such a thing is possible - as a human, she should have died long ago. There's nothing to hint that Saradomin was lying when he stated his family was long dead - so perhaps he genuinely believed this. Maybe he was genuinely unaware of her survival until Zaros discovered her.

...Couldn't she just be adopted?

Did bandos have kids too?

Bandos had no regard for life in his younger years. He seems to have gained some form of respect for the strong by the time of the Bird and the Beast. One could argue that Zannik was somewhat an adopted child of Bandos, but nothing points towards actual offspring.

I don't really see Saradomin caring enough about a mortal to do so. You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?

Can we even be sure that she is alive? Maybe undead? NO

Perhaps but the dialogue in End Game implies Saradomin hadn't even seen his daughter as Zaros had to explain how he got her, while the oath was setup beforehand, if he hadn't seen her, why would he believe Zaros' word/strike up the oath in the first place - especially if Saradomin long thought her dead.
