Well, to pivot away from the grave bumping discussion...

I follow the Menaphite Pantheon (surprise surprise) but this is for two reasons:

1) Out of Game - their lore is objectively the best.
2) Ingame - the Menaphite Pantheon seems to genuinely want their subjects to be good people.

Tumeken made the four lesser gods as examples of how people should be. Yes, he may have also made them to escape death, but the four Lesser gods have also been endeavoring to reduce conflict in the Peninsula - Apmeken says that she, Crondis, and Het were all trying to bring about a detente within the Kharidian Peninsula.

Furthermore, they're happy without ruling the world - the Menaphite Pantheon never invaded anywhere outside of the Kharidian Peninsula. They were more than happy as their own nation, and this is in no small part due to the fact that Tumeken and Elidinis seemed to be quite open to different cultures and not very militant.

And also I feel like the best way to better people is to lead by example. Saradomin is also trying to do what's best for everyone (that's why I'm nominally supporting him) but the Pantheon just does it so much better.

I follow Zaros because he believes in a spectrum, and that all life has a capacity for good and evil. He also seems to be against stigma, which I am also since stigma creates discrimination and fear. And then he says that he seeks balance in oneself (growing stronger and better through good and bad times), and that we should never surrender to our weaknesses. Instead, we should improve in the field we are weak in or work around it.

I also genuinely believe that he isn't a monster like a lot of people say he is, and that he has his own emotions and fondness for certain beings in his life. And there seems to be a sense of innocence in spite of his reputation, and curiosity. These are traits which he shares with Mah and Seren. For me, Zaros is one side of a symbol known as the Manji, representing a harmony between heaven and earth, and yin and yang. The side he represents is the Ura Manji representing strength and intelligence, and Seren seems akin to the Omote Manji symbolising love and mercy.

For these reasons, Seren is tied second for me, along with Armadyl for his own pursuit of harmony like her, and a penchant for diplomacy like Zaros.

I follow myself, for I am a goddess!

I am feared by my own kind, the soothsayers. They tried to starve me and lock me away, for they feared my immense magical powers and abilities.

I twisted the intestines of hundreds of divine energy-filled seacreatures and absorbed them into my body, ascending to immortality.

I killed a wielder of an elder artefact.

If not a goddess, then what am I?

Worship me now my Zuians!!!
I am a God-slaying Goddess! Worship me, the immortal Occultist! The new Khan of the Seas!
Muahahahahaahah!!!!

practically everyone worships themselves, whether they admit it or not. even most religions with gods to worship are just focused around worshipping yourself

Pragmatically, because I couldn't get the full 2013 WE set but managed to get the 2014 one instead. Since I got myself a neat title and set, I thought why not and "became" an armadylean.

Lore-wise the best I can sum up my feelings towards Arma is that he's Saradomin-lite - he's determined enough to achieve his goals but not too destructive in his pursuit of them. Plus the Aviantese are a novel and interesting bit of the lore.

He just seemed to be the best fit.
Just posting around.

English's not my first language, but I hope I make sense.

Brassica Prime, the one true god of Gielinor. Let all others dissolve into his mighty nutrients!

But really, "Deliciousness is power!". He seems to me like his being is a representation of gluttony, which is one of the 7 sins that I feel lean toward the most...I love food. lol His carefree attitude and love of food basically win it for me.

It's a shame we don't have any envoys for them, since they are on Sliske's Scoreboard...would love to have the title to declare myself for Brassica :D Was really hoping we'd see more of Brassica Prime/Marimbo in the Eastern Lands to expand on their godhood.

Sliske.... Umm he's not a god so I guess I don't need to explain myself. But he has a "God embassy" so maybe he is a god?? Or maybe it's all a deception... The sixth age, everything... It isn't real. See it's all a trick, no gods returned it's just Sliske posing as all the gods with his awesome powers of "shapeshifting", some even believe this will become an elder skill, Sliske will eventually reveal the "sixth age" is just all one joke and then share his powers with us.

Really were all living in the fifth age still, but what if Sliske ends the joke but actually carries out everything the same as it happened in the joke... The real sixth age could begin... But how would we know it's real? It could just be an even bigger joke, we may never know if that's the real Zamorak in front of us or not...


Sliske teaches us, only through him can we achieve power beyond comprehension... The power of shapeshifting.

Don't you see it? Do you understand? Sliske is the light, our salvation, the one true hope Gielinor has for he is the World Guardian. The real World Guardian, he will save us from the Red Axe and Mourners, it has been seen in the vision. He will bring peace to the fifth age. Then he will lead us into the Sixth age.
