I follow Zaros, the reason i started following him back in the day well i liked the color purple and he seemed like a cool god but ever since I've become a lorehound over the 9 years I've played i have actual reasons to follow him.

I support Zaros 100% in his goals becoming an Elder god to protect the mortals from the elder gods. I support his ideas and how he says he wants the world to belong to mortals(basically like Guthix) but he also thinks that we as mortals wouldn't be safe or capable of surviving without the guidance of Gods, the gods could set some rules and set some proper control. he wants to sit and watch the mortals. He also wants to silently guide mortals to grow to their full potentials.

But the biggest thing that made me happy to be a follower of him is that in Fate of the Gods
he said he wants to learn from the mortals and that he learned from his mistakes long ago
. Zaros may not be able to feel or have emotions but he respects Armadyl for how he handles himself, he shows no hatred towards Zamorak for how he betrayed him during the God Wars. He may not like how Saradomin Acts but he believes that Saradomin's beliefs and actions have merit.

Zaros is the only god i will ever follow and i will show my up most support for him in all the events that involve him and his followers....

I'm a Zarosian.....And just like Azzanadra said to ones who sabatoged Zaros.....or wants to stop Zaros "if Zaros dies as a result of your actions, do not think for one second that any of that will save you. I will pour every ounce of my strength into your destruction. Nothing will stop me! Do you understand? Nothing!"

I have been a loyal Zarosian for 5 years now. The reason I have chosen to follow him is mostly because of his philosophy. I highly believe in trying to increase in both power and knowledge based on your own life experiences and to not drown yourself in your problems when u face something difficult. Another thing I highly value is to find that balance within oneself and I always try to remain levelheaded in all situations, be it real life or not (ofc I don't always succeed... especially not when some1 is attacking me and any attempt at trying to keep the dialogue "non-flame" fails, but I try).

Other than that Zaros has also shown that he is very logical and level headed and think through his decisions before he actually makes them, which is something I consider very important in a leader. He doesn't for example get angry and punish people when he doesn't get what he wants when he wants it... which some of the gods have shown in the past quests.

I agree :) and hello fellow zarosian.

Is that a strawman? I'm pretty darn sure that was in the lore somewhere, maybe one of those lore books you get from the engrammameter.

Hazeel's memory:
context: talking about the other races within Zaros' empire, and Hazeel's distaste for them. Especially humans eating instead of consuming the energy of their kin via ritual stone to prolong their life like normal people.

-------------
"...The Chthonians are just as bad, although unlike the humans they are capable of absorbing the whole essence of their meals rather than just the nutrients. They have a legal rather than a cultural restriction on cannibalism, and without exception every Chthonian I have met slavered at the very thought of consuming its kin. There is a law in the empire against consuming humans, but I do not think they keep it very well, and I do not think Zaros is aware of the violation. There are many forces that keep the streets of Senntisten clear of the homeless, and not all of them are economic."
--------------

Rereading over this, it seems like Zaros doesn't know this is happening, so I suppose holding it against him isn't fair. It was how his empire was running, which after a certain point outgrew him. Headcanon Haven, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

Y'know, it's pretty much this reason alone that, despite believing that the end goal is to remove all gods, I chose to bring Zaros back to full power. I have a deep respect for his ideology and his character. He, unlike most other gods, has demonstrated that he is capable of reason and humility.
What concerns me about him is his plan to rouse the Elder Gods.
I am concerned that he will bring unnecessary destruction to Gielinor in an attempt to ascend beyond his transcendent nature, and I can tell already that this will not end well for him. Not only that, but if the universe is cyclical as lots of lore evidence would have us believe, then the Great Revision is inevitable. Nothing he does will prevent it, only delay it.

I am sure that Zaros, as reasonable and logical as he is, has anticipated this.
Even if he has not, is it not the duty of the World Guardian to prevent such senseless destruction of Gielinor? Balance in all things.

Zaros. To me, he makes sense, has a good plan, tries to actually think instead of whine or bully, and is trying to bring out our potential. I will have to talk to Seren and see more Zaros in action before I totally commit but he just feels right for me. Guthix, Saradomin, Zamorak, Bandos, Armadyl... All false gods, mortals with powers at most. Not to mention demanding and tyrannical. They all want to be followed [*coughSaracough*] or have ideals that can't be met [here's lookin' at you, Arma].

From an in character perspective, I [Siegfried/Peach38] used to be a Guthixian-type person, being more spiritual and supportive of nature and life rather than follow Saradomin because I had to. But as time went on, I heard more and more about Zaros and met followers of his that got me interested. And when I actually MET Guthix, heard his story and views, talk about disaffected. It was like hearing a broken man who did not know who or what to truly blame for everything bad that had happened to him. He lost his homeworld, his entire race, and his daughter and blamed a false god. My heart was moved but my mind told me that he was unable to see the truth for the grief he felt. When Sliske killed him, I felt disappointed and empty, realizing I was never truly satisfied with Guthix as a god. When I later met Zaros and heard his story, his plan, it felt like I found the meaning I had been missing with Guthix. He made utter sense, far more sense than Guthix had, and showed me that I could actually be more, even if I didn't follow him. He did not require me to serve as Saradomin would. He did not try to ask anything of me beyond what I wanted or needed like Guthix did. But his mention of Seren interested me. I had heard of her from the Elves as well and found myself wanting to meet her. So I decided I would walk his path until I could meet her and truly decide for myself.

It's a strawman, yeah, because it was an argument against a different point than the one at hand.
