it just makes you a hypocrite.
People get so caught up in this whole "hypocrite" nonsense lol.

Look, the universe is a wild and zany place. There's no evidence of it having any inherent structure or meaning. Morality is probably arbitrary, and you might as well treat it that way. This is just my opinion, but it seems like too much work to try and consistently apply justifications for every moral assessment and decision you make and it appears that there is no real advantage to doing so. My advice, just judge things as you fancy and make-up justifications when it suits you to do so, even if sometimes it makes you a hypocrite... :P :P :P :P

The lore section was very interesting, thing that caught my attention the most was the cosmology section. Especially so infact because i actually made that picture of the universe they showed, a really unexpected surprise to see it used in official lore! Thing is though i made that over a year ago and there's been quite a bit more new information since then so i wouldn't call that image the most up to date. Infact after checking out this information more carefully i may make an updated version

The rune and elemental thing was interesting, thats something i never thought of before (outside the fact theres 4 paths). But the rest of it i have to admit doesnt make much sense right now. I used the information from ingame at the time to determine theres the lower worlds with terrible balance, the 4 elemental paths with themed worlds but still unbalanced, and the higher planes with good balance for high anima production. It was this premise that helped me determine how far up each planet is in the universal path. But jagex seems to be mixing it up in ways that dont make sense. For instance i placed new domina (now renamed hallow) on the wen path because its stated to be mostly water with little land. And it was low down because being so close to the sun and how half the planet freeezes cus of its VERY long nights it was unbalanced, but they called it a higher plane. Then with yubuisk i called it a higher plane because ingame footage from before it became toxic shows it was FULL of lush plants and life. But they called it a low elemental plane, i suspect they're ranking it on only what it is now, not what it was

I'll have to watch the vid very carefully again and maybe try to get in touch with raven but atm it makes less sense than it did before. Still i am very much interested in making a new picture and FINALLY drawing up the definitive image of RS

Btw any questions on my pic, i'd be happy to talk you through my reasonings for how i made it

Are we talking about cutting off the main feathers on a wing, and them growing back like people do to pet birds, or are we talking about Good Ol' Fashion Saradomin Wing-Rippings?

Also:
Spoiler: Dimenson of the Damned is a dimension where Saradomin won the SoJ, so now he's using it and the wand of resurrection to it's fullest. Reason it takes place in falador is because it's supposed to be the white knights going "Oh shit, we dun goofed!"

What Saradomin did to Garlandia, in essence.

And wot. The wand has other effects, not sure where you came up with this.
It's Paladin, stupid trolling is what he does.

Interesting Bandosian stuff, but man it just feels pointless given how the Bandosians got tossed aside.

Big reveal here, but most of what he says is meant to be laughed at. You're meant to chuckle. Not brandish a knife at the screen and cut where his username is because he's mentioning the Garlandia incident. You kids need to lighten up.

I agree with the Bandosians being utterly useless, but I'm glad we're learning more flavor text stuff either way.

Mayhap the Queen will take pity on them.

...I'm confused. Infernus and Abbinah are both elemental planes of Smoke?

Neither of which make sense to me btw, because I was expecting Air for Abbinah and Shadow for Infernus.
I think theres a difference in the ancient element of smoke (from ancient spell book) and the conbination rune of smoke. Besides which i know for a fact when i made that image of a molten exposed core of abbinah raven said the planet isnt firey but instead very windy. So it isnt a planet of smoke rune at all, this was a mistake on their part

This is why i'm thinking they didnt really put in as much research as i did making that pic, alot of stuff they said doesnt make sense or add up. I need to get in touch with raven sometime and actually work this out with him

I don’t get the whole honeycomb/plane thing. Are planes basically different star systems or galaxies? Could we theoretically travel to different planes with a spaceship? What the heck is a realm then? ;_< Also, what kind of planes are the Killerwatt and Cosmic Entity Plane. The whole area is labelled as a “plane” on the fairy ring catalog.

See this is jagex's mistake for being so vague about this for so long. Until recently "other worlds" literally meant "other dimensions". So there was the dimension of runescape, the dimension of demons and so on, a rather lazy design tbh. This is what is called "planes" or "realms". However since the quest missing presumed death and the revelation that zanaris is not a different dimension but gilenor's moon, they've adopted the idea that each world is instead a planet. They've still been a big vague on this but that stream confirmed they fully accept the planet system

So to answer your questions, realms are now planets, or possibly regions on a planet. Yes you can physically travel to other worlds, tuska does this. As for the picture they used, i am actually the one who made it a year ago, they added the honeycomb thing over it and it is honestly confusing. I think they tried to make it so each "plane" is a different sector of "space" (or the abyss as its called) which would hold a star system, which in turn would hold planets. As for the cosmic and killerwatt planes i think they're just random bits in space, they look it anyway

Tbh i dont think they REALLY did the research or thought it through, infact i know some details where incorrect. I am hoping to make an updated picture thats much more accurate and contains more information than was shown to get the definitive image of the universe =P

If your still confused, i'd be happy to go through my research on the rs universe and explain it better than they did ^_^

I rose from the dead just to await Attila's eventual 10 page response to the cosmology reveals, assuming he rises from the dead too sometime.

Also, a bit unrelated, but I feel a bit ashamed that I didn't pick up on the Lovecraft references in Shadow over Ashdale. Nobody cares about Crassains, but it makes sense for them to appear in PoH unlike random dragonkin again *rolls eyes*. I'm too Unaligned to have a forum signature.
