The first fanart of Xau-Tak. The creator and I made a deal that if Xau-Tak wasn't at Runefest he'd do a full body fanart. ^_^

Also I can't tell what god you follow, Zamorak or Zaros?
Both. I just can't decide (true fotg2 will be all in my head...)

Do you really think you can save them, ZamorakZaros? You can't. There is an impatient hell that knows your name. And this is Xau-Tak.

Xau-Tak

seems

stupid.

He/she

doesn't

realize

that

the world guardian

can

and

will

defeat

him/her,

be

it

by

the world guardian's

own

hands

or

by

the

power

of

deus

ex

machina!

NO
I do not ship ZamorakxZaros.
I follow them. And Marimbo, the best t5 god.

I don't side with a god, but rather with Vorago (and by extension Geilinor as a whole) to defend the planet from any threat no matter what form it takes. I think this is our duty as a World Guardian, to defend Geilinor, nothing more and nothing less. While this philosophy does overlap heavily with that of the Godless, I think the overzealous, militant hatred of Gods that the Godless carry is unnecessary and perhaps even detrimental. Some gods are clearly not threats to the stability of Geilinor (Brassica Prime, Marimbo, etc), and so killing or driving them away would be a pointless act of violence that accomplishes nothing. Would engaging in behavior like that really make the Godless any better than the gods they hate? We should die for the things we believe in

I would say you're pretty much Godless, then. Even though they have that dogmatic anti-god aspect to them, they're really just a popular movement with no single unifying leader or platform. So your less extreme "the defense of Gielinor > extermination of gods" frame of mind easily fits within the faction. I'm certain that there are others in the Godless (both players and NPCs in the canon) who think the same way you do. Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.

I can just imagine Sliske thinking 'what horrible parent would give their kid a name like bubblegirlxo or zezima133?' At least it's distinctive and he doesn't have to wonder if you're the Peter or Susan the ~~prophecy~~ random crazy people spoke of Carn
