Thought I'd share this peculiar Mod post of an account without "Mod" in the name:
Original message details are unavailable.

Perhaps another clue or a red herring?
"Follow me if you can" -- well, that sounds like the sort of thing a Robin Hood-esque trickster would say. So I'd guess Jack of Spades, even though he doesn't sound anything like a vizier. Maybe that's his secret identity or something.
Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.

Check out the Golden Path Discord channel (a quick search for "golden path discord" on /r/runescape should get ya there) -- the third name got found out practically instantly by bruteforcing female Arabic names beginning with E:



(funnily enough, this exact name was tried yesterday but didn't work -- looks like the names only work beginning from the week of the challenge they're for).

It's looking pretty sure that Commander__A is real, too, seeing as the account was made very close to the time that /u/Hero_Batal (the clue for the second week) was made. So time to guess five letter female Arabic names beginning with A on Monday, heh.

(I demand the credit that I found Commander A on day one of the Golden Path)


Edit: I just realized that this was the original post, and it already mentions that I found it. Ignore me, I'm a moron.

The scrambled words are not anagrams. They were part of a Viginere Cipher with the keyword to decode the cipher "Tumken." Using basic knowledge of ciphers, it says

Commander__A is open again and has posted a picture and the following words:
Look high, look low -

Adventurer, you have far to go.

So far I have not figured out what this means, thought I'd share (just want to do this as a community thing rather than a competition ;) )

The picture she posted was a much higher quality version of this:




The picture I got was from the video of concept arts Runescape uploaded yesterday.

Throughout most of the video, it says "The Golden City of Menaphos" at the top:




However, when it shows the 4 faction leaders at 0:16, it briefly changes to "The Golden Path of Menaphos":





I believe Commander A's picture of concept art was a hint at looking at this video, and her "look high" was a hint of looking at the top of the images.

The legendary creators have been long gone from this world. When they return, they'll be surprised and angered of their creations' new sapience. Meanwhile, the world's most elite, summoned to be its guardians, have abandoned their purpose and intend to plunge the world into chaos. -- Bionicle or RS?
