1. Can you tell us one more (as minimally spoilerific thing as possible) about Armadyl, Abbinah, or his followers that we don't know yet?

2. Will we ever see more Bandos lore, or something that the Bandosian faction (what's left of it) gets involved in? For example, and this is an idea I've seen tossed around, but perhaps a quest/event/story content of some kind involving a civil war within the Bandosian remnants, some wanting to join Armadyl (and Armadyl probably face-taloning as they utterly fail for a while to assimilate well, given that they're joining their opposites for the wrong reason) because Armadyl was the stronger one between him and Bandos, and others stubbornly refusing, still wantting to live by Bandos's law but not joining Armadyl as the conclusion.

3. Is there anything, absolutely anything, in the works for the gnomes? They've consistently placed very low in popular opinion polls, and in my view, their story is split between Arposandra and Ape Atoll. (The 10th Squad is still to this day stranded out there!)

4. What would you say to a player that expresses anxiety that seemingly being so hasty to bring out the Elder Gods makes the young/faction Gods (let alone what has yet to be resolved in the Fifth Age!) "not matter?"

5. Following up from Question Four, why was the Elder God quest not mentioned in the Year Ahead video?

6. Will we be seeing more Lores and Histories?

7. Following up from Question 6, I knew that there had been a Lores and Histories about Nomad, but all the information we would have gotten from it appears to have been used for Tales of Nomad instead. Is this the plan going forward? If so, can these be replayable, like the Tales of the God Wars scenes are?

8. How canonically accurate are the ages stated for the GWD1 generals on Top Trumps?

(Here's why I ask: Kree'Arra is stated to be 2600 years old, whereas Zilyana is stated to be 2500 years old. We know from elsewhere that Aviansies have - in good environments - a lifespan comparable to humans. It's also unclear whether the time spent frozen accounts for such a long lifespan, but even assuming it does, this still makes Kree'Arra ridiculously old among his people, and showing no physical signs of aging on top of that. He's Zilyana's, an Icyene (which is a race with a very long lifespan, even under the poor conditions Efaritay was subject to) elder by a hundred years. Is this intended, and Kree'Arra is a very special Aviansie (and I've got my theories on that, which I will jealously keep to myself) or is this an error, and everything I just typed under this Question 8 irrelevant?)

9. How did Vindicta get all those troops, who use Nex armors, Nex weapons, and in the case of the meleers, chaotic mauls?

10. Will there be more backstory on the God Emissaries? (Could this be possible Lores and Histories fodder? :D )

11. Will there be more backstory on World Event NPCs (i.e., Padomenes, Taka'ra, Kamiee, Bree, Gee'Ka, ect.?)

12. Will there be backstory on the faction representatives in The Heart?

13. Why does the Anima occasionally produce thinks like Vorago and Telos? Will there be more like them in the future?

14. What might Jas have said, had we gotten the opportunity to ask her about Vorago and/or Telos? Was it deliberate that it didn't occur to our character to inquire?

15. Is there anything you can tell us about Xau-Tak that isn't too spoilery and we don't yet know?

16. Same as Question 15, but for The Queen of Ashes?

17. Are there even more Gods out there interested in Gielinor we've not heard about? Hero's Welcome seems to imply that the Universe is even more vast than what we can visit through the World Gate, and that on some of those worlds, there are more Gods.

18. Any chance we'll ever see more Tuska backstory?

Ok, that's all for now, I asked just a few more than I planned to. Thanks for hosting this and answering as many questions as humanly possible! :D

Yes!!!
And also just more other lore things, like journals, NPC dialogues, more MahMem or Memoriam to Guthix lore stuff. Maybe linked to skills perhaps? Like finding random lore bits while skilling, a box while mining, an interesting coin while farming (giving some dialogue with the people at the Varrock Museum), something in the pelt of an animal when we've successfully hunted it, a strange object in the ashes after/during the burning of logs, a peculiar note while thieving. A bit like bird's nest in woodcutting, but with lore stuff instead of jewelry and seeds.

(you missed an open bracket on the close quote code)

I know about this answer, but that might be out of date. I just want to be really sure about more Lores and Histories is all :)

What exactly is the way of life of modern Zarosians, and how do they practice their religion? Have they kept alive many traditions and customs from the empire, and have they adopted any customs from the Kharidian peoples? If I remember correctly, they are forced to be bandits to survive; is this because the other Kharidian desert peoples/Menaphites are hostile to them? Are they legally barred from escaping into Misthalin through Al-Kharid? They idolize Azzanadra; do they lionize and revere the other major Zarosians similarly?

Has Wahisietel salvaged many imperial books and/or artworks for his library? Given Akthanakos' connection to camels, is he an animal lover/skilled at animal talk in general?

Who or what exactly is Soran? Why is he capable of accessing the Shadow Realm? Does he preach the ways of Zaros because Zaros himself or Azzanadra tasked him with it? Is he old enough to have lived in the empire and remember it?

How did there come to be a Zarosian presence in the Loop region?

How do new converts to Zarosianism in the Sixth Age who have talked to Soran live? Are they closeted or open about their faith? How are they viewed by others? How do the existing Zarosians view them?

What was Sliske and Trindine's relationship? And what of her implied romantic involvement with Kharshai--did they have a falling-out of some kind?

Where do Vindicta's forces come from--are they soldiers originally from Nex's platoon? Will Vindicta ever clash with the other major Zarosians due to not knowing about the empire or their history? How much did Gorvek teach her, exactly?

How would Helwyr react to the news that Seren has returned? Would she disapprove of his efforts in the Heart to destroy Greg?

And how does Saradomin view the Zarosian genocide and his role in it?

(Not sure if this is a relevant thread, but here goes)

As someone who has consistently voted highly on the pirate questline in content polls, are we any closer to finding out what Mi-Gor has been up to since A Clockwork Syringe? Or is this all tied in to the underwater city and all that jazz, which still begs the question, are we any closer to seeing the culmination of the pirate quest line? :(

What are the Dragonkin doing now that the Catalyst is destroyed?
- Is their rage subsiding?
- Is their power decreasing?
- Is Kerapac, who for some people holds Ilujanka Hannibus for research purposes on a cure to the Catalyst curse, willing to release him now that the curse has been broken? (Insert Kerapac "
No.
" here =p)

Something I have been pondering for a while: the Ilujanka, who have severe issues reproduction wise, live on a planet described as with a night sky devoid of stars. Does this mean their planet could be a remnant of the previous cycle, not being destroyed in the last Great Revision?
I especially wonder this because of the apparent connection Dragonkin share with the Ilujanka according to Kerapac. This would make sense if they share a similar origin. With the Dragonkin having their origin in the previous cycle, it makes sense if the Ilujanka do as well.

Continuing my pondering, is the issue the Illujanka are facing actually due to their world losing anima, a fate befallen on those areas which lack the elder gods their presence?

When I walked into the Heart of Gielinor, I had no idea I was walking into a crack den my new obsession, both with the lore and with the PVM. There's so much I want to know about it (though I have my own theories)...but here's the stuff I wanna know the most.

We'll start with my (somehow) personal favorite, Gregorovic. What was he like before he got sick? Where did he live and what did he do for a living? How did he first meet Sliske? What was he doing for the few centuries before Sliske needed him, and what happens to him post-Endgame?

Next, my second favorite Helwyr. When did the Cywir offshoot he was a part of arrive to Gielinor given how conservative the Cywir were judging from the Tarddian journals? And how do the shapeshifting powers within the Cywir clan work?

Moving on to questions related to my favorite anima guardian, Telos the Warden. How does the anima spawn guardians and what determines the traits each one has? Does the anima spawn guardians because of some inherent property or was Guthix or the Elder Gods involved in some way?

Finally, just who is the third Fury sister?

Thank you in advance for the answers! I'm really looking forward to more quest involvement with this cool lot.
