Lord Drakan said :

Crondis - Crocodile-headed goddess of resourcefulness and pleasure and part of the Menaphite Pantheon.


Crondis should be the goddess of resourcefulness and modesty, not resourcefulness and pleasure.

For reference, Jex has this to say about Crondis:

"She embodies modesty, diligence and resourcefulness, so Crondis is worshipped by the desert's subsistence farmers and hunters. Conversely, she proves unpopular amongst society's elite."

"Crondis teaches that people should take no more than they need and make do with little, which, as you can imagine, conflicts with the values of many in the richer echelons of society."

Also, it is writ that on the Third Day of Tumeken's Dream:

Original message details are unavailable.
Tumeken caught the eye of the crocodile, nodded, and said: "You are, indeed, the most resourceful of creatures, taking pleasure in hunting for no more than your own sustenance. I shall give unto you a piece of myself, so that you may help me rule this desert realm, an example to my people not to overindulge in their physical pleasures, so that they too can be blessed by Tumeken." And so, the lesser god Crondis was born, and Tumeken, happy with his day's work, returned to his camp at the centre of the desert to prepare for tomorrow's journey.


P.S. Great work on this massive thread!

You are correct; I copy-pasted her entry from Apmeken's and forgot to change the second word it seems. Silly me. Thanks! :)

It's essentially nothing, I don't think that the spirit beast is creating it per-say, but rather causing a rip exposing the void.

Reminds me of the old "facing the void" expression of Mahjarrat, maybe they believe their deceased go to space?

Maybe sacrificed Mahjarrat are *literally* annihilated?

^ I think it was stated in a Podcast that the "spirit" or "essence" or whatever you want to call it of a Mahjarrat sacrificed at a Ritual does not simply disappear but lives on inside the Mahjarrat present at the Ritual who are empowered by it, in this way, they are not able to "pass on" until the very last living Mahjarrat dies, as they will be effectively carrying all their fallen kin.

Great thread!

Also I'm probably just nitpicking but the North Wilderness Volcano no longer has a bridge since the wildy graphical update.

Shame, I really liked that bridge.

It doesn't? D: Then how do you get the Ring of Kinship easter egg?

You just have to stand near the top I believe.

Currently, there is little trade in Port Phastmatys due to everyone's being a ghost, but the town is not completely dead.

I love the pun :) .

Lord Drakan said :
Demons * Intelligent and hierarchical creatures from Infernus with multiple subspecies, such as the Infernals, Chthonians and Avernic, and cultures, active on Gielinor since the Second Age. (TNTL)

Technically speaking, demons as race does not exist. Demons is an umbrella term for all races that originate from Infernus. A Chthonian and Avernic demon differ as much as an ogre and an ourg. So you should split them up into imps, fiends, Avernic (with three subspecies), Chthonian and Infernal race.

Hm, very well. I'll do it once every cell in my body stops aching. I assume Jack said this?

In the Scrying Pool chat long ago.

It is also logical. Chthonian, Avernic, Infernal, imps and fiends differ wildly. The only thing they have in common is that they originate from the same world. I assume Yu'biuskian races are separated and not thrown together?
