G'day,

I suggest Guthix is alive & living in a tree, the Tree of Balance.

I further suggest that the symbol on the Druidic Stone indicates that there are 3, and only 3, gods watching over the world. Perhaps the coming war will simplify the lore back to the original 3 gods?

I don't know how you see 3 symbols on the Druidic Stone and how are there only 3 gods, but I can tell none of the known god symbols are on that stone.

BTW, the revealed in a Lore Livestream it can only be more complicated with bigger and bigger threats coming after the Elder God War, so perhaps even more news gods will show their faces. :D

I saw 3 circles linked to & above 1 large circle.

Also, my guru ate my ice-cream but I am sure I saw green mint flakes in the chocolatey ice-cream; a sure sign that the green god will emerge from the darkness.

3 circles linked to above 1 large circle? If the 3 circles were the 3 small gods, wouldn't the large circle be the 4th and bigger god? :D

Sorry, Jagex's words on Guthix and the Easter Festival from the lastest Q&A:

"We're very happy with how the Druidic Festival has been received.

No intentions to resurrect Guthix."

^ You got April Fooled. That post is a prank; the stream VOD link is a Rick Roll and the last part of the post alludes to it being satire. Well disguised satire, but satire none the less.

That being said, I have my doubts that they'll resurrect Guthix; it's well-documented at this time that gods don't have afterlives and their consciousness is more or less destroyed upon their death, so unless it turns out that we've been misled (or, I suppose, if it gets retconned), Guthix is presumably gone forever.

But my inner conspiracy theorist wonders if this might be the druids' attempt to resurrect Guthix. Even if it's destined to fail, looking closer at this event does make one think; the Guthixian butterflies are seemingly created from Guthix's divine energy, so gathering several million of them in one place, combined with a large amount of concentrated worship, using a tree that vaguely resembles him, and knowing that Guthix ascended to godhood from direct exposure to large amounts of divine energy (from killing Skargaroth), and that Seren, the goddess who was closest to Guthix before his death, was the one who came up with the idea for this festival... well, if you look at it a certain way, it almost looks like someone is trying to create a scenario that could possibly lead to the ascension of a new god that looks and acts a lot like Guthix. Perhaps even a desperate attempt to recover some of his knowledge on the Elder Gods to aid us in the coming War?

Am I overthinking this? Almost certainly. But it's fun to speculate.

I am not sure about the "gods don't have afterlife" part as it can also be that no god have returned from death and hence nobody knows what happened to them after they died.

What we do know is gods do have memories like all the mortals and memories remain even after they died. Now think what if we can find and gather all the dead gods' memories and combine them? It still doesn't mean the dead god is resurrected though, but as long as we can gather all the memories, there will be an artificial intelligent way to create the gods' future visions hence Guthix can still think and give us his knowledge and guidance for the future. :)

Guthix may be dead, but he still has a remarkable amount of influence over Gielinor. I definitely think this tree was formed out of some of his energy. As Dilbert said, there are his various memories, also formed from his energy/anima. And, perhaps most important of all, there is us , infused with some divine Guthixian energy to become the World Guardian. So I suppose one could say Guthix is "alive" through all these forms...

With today's update including the Once Upon A Time: Flashback quest as revealed in the "prank", we probably can't rule out the "prank" may not really be a prank at all. ;)

Oh yes, the Redditor might have made a prank with the video link, but Jagex's own reveal is definitely not a prank although the timing made it look like one:

That said, we probably should believe Jagex has no intention to make Guthix live again and it is not an April Fool prank, unfortunately. :(
