Here are some of my most pressing lore questions. Please answers these if you can I narrowed it down to my top 5.


1) Will the Gorajo get their own story/quest in the future in the Spirit Plane?

2) How soon will the Queen of the Ashes be returning to Gielinor (on a scale of 2017-soon[tm]) and is she an older or newer god?

3) Have Ping and Pong ever played concerts outside of the iceberg? If not can we get a quest where we help Ping and Pong travel around Gielinor and play concerts? I don't know about you but I would love to see them play for a whole bunch of Ogres in Oo'glog and then relax in the spa pools.

4) With Xau-Tak and Queen of the Ashes starting to return, will the Godless start to play a bigger role in defying the gods?

5) How is the world of Vampyrium going now after the death of Draken and the rise of Vanescula?

9. Since the release of emissaries there has been 2 factions who have been mostly ignored in terms of content, but one of them has had it worse, the godless, so far they have been ridiculed and undermined every time they appeared and have received no actual content so far, with this I mean quest, armor, etc, they even didn't appear in sliskes endgame which was really odd; anyway are there plans to give actual content to the godless like a quest for example?

10. Why didn't the godless appear in sliskes endgame? considering vorago isn't a member of the godless.

11. Are there any plans with the bandosians? like making them join another faction?

12. which races have joined the godless? other than gnomes, trolls, demons, humans, dwarves, and a icyene

13. Are there any plans of introducing Biehn the leader of the godless any time soon?, considering he is the only faction (that u can join) leader we haven't met

14. Will godless keep using ehmmm, let me correct, will godless keep lacking clothes in future content or will they get an improvement on their clothing situation?

1. Are there any upcoming plans regarding the blank observation that Azzanadra gives you?

2. Zaros assigned Nex and Char separate missions, with Nex overseeing Sliske's game, and Char trying to locate the Stone and Staff. After Sliske's Endgame, what does Zaros intend for them to do?

3. With Kerapac destroying the Stone of Jas, are there still plans to give the Dragonkin their own separate story pillar? My understanding is that the Dragonkin pillar may wait until the Elder God pillar is done. Is this accurate? Or could both storylines develop concurrently?

4. Sliske's Endgame marked the end of the Stone of Jas story pillar. Outside of the Elder God and Dragonkin pillars, does this lead into a wider "Young Gods" pillar? Mod Ollie has also suggested that Children of Mah could leave room for a Mahjarrat story pillar. What is the current list of Sixth Age story pillars, and how much would you say your plans for them have changed since The World Wakes?

5. During the Twitch stream discussing the results of the Summer Summit survey, Mod Osborne suggested the idea of "Fifth Age quests with a Sixth Age lean." Does this mean that some of the unfinished Fifth Age storylines, such as Pirates or Gnomes, could continue the Sixth Age, like Plague's End, or would they be close to River of Blood, which resolved the Fifth Age events, but we've heard that there could still be Sixth Age content for Morytania?

6. Did Ful create The Horn specifically as a "companion" artefact to The Kiln? Would The Horn be reserved for future Eastern Lands content, or could it appear in other content?

7. Out of all the planets Icthlarin and Amascut could have visited to recruit reinforcements, why did they end up in Freneskae? Was it just pure chance, or is there a particular reason they ended up there?

Mm, all right.

1) If it isn't a spoiler for the Dungeoneering finale, what was the original intention with Moia and Bilrach? It certainly wasn't Bilrach sacrificing a Mahserrat...

2) Since the postbag has been cancelled (minor depression), what was the name of Narras's father, the first King of Kandarin? Why did he and his son die so soon? Was the Ardougne Council founded after Narras's distrous reign? Was Kandarin founded in 98 or 101?

3) What happened to Sir Theodore?

4) Where in RuneScape is the Dragonkin Castle?

5) Does Wizard Finix have a secret agenda? Is he an agent for the ZMI?

6) Bandos pretended to be Guthix and used his Tears to resurrect Zanik - wouldn't that be possible for other dead characters, in theory? It's interesting because it seems to be the least damaging way of reviving the dead, compared to e.g. Elora's horn or Kardia's creepy ritual.

7) What exactly did the kingdom of Dathalas and Rashiliyia encompass?

8) Lorefail of the Week: River of Blood mentions Ivandis invented Guthix Balance after the Battle of the Salve, even though he is known to have used it during the war. Is this intentional or will it be rectified?

9) When exactly would Amascut have eradicated the four lesser gods? Fourth Age most likely, but anything specific?

10) What's the deal with the Sultans of Al Kharid? It's an Emirate but it had a Sultan a century ago (Great Carpet Crash) and Ali M another NPC I can't recall mention the current one. His existence makes especially little sense given the power vacuum in Stolen in the Rough (y'know what I mean).

I could easily quintuple the amount of questions and exponentiate that but I'll stick to ten for now. I was hugely looking forward to the postbag, though (it's been way too long), I'm massively disappointed it was replaced with this. :( (or, if not, it effectively sort of was anyway) Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire.

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

I'M BACK!

Can we get some info on the lifespans of the races? We know icyene live tens of thousands of year, humans are pretty much the same as in real life, elves tend to reach five-hundred but their lifespan is malleable and can be stretched to millenia -- but we don't know much else. Vyres seem to be biologically immortal, as in they don't die of natural causes, werewolf aging is all over the place, dwarves and gnomes are pretty much unknown.


Can we get confirmation on whether or not Mahjarrat 'ascended' after the events of Children of Mah? Maybe not to full godhood, but Azzanadra noted that his previous 'power cap' seemed to be gone -- which sounds an awful lot like "we can move up the tier list from low tier 7 now".


Are blood and shadow magic considered to be 'dark magic' like necromancy is? I imagine smoke and ice are a little more tolerated.


Is lightning considered a part of the air element in the Runescape universe? Guthix's wind druid lady seemed to indicate it was.


On a similar note, is flora (trees, flowers, moss, and so on) considered to be part of the earth element along with the standard dirt and rock? And, is sand part of the earth element as well?


How does metal interact with magic? Since wearing armor seems to make one weak against magic and also less able to use magic -- or is this just a game mechanic? We know metal 'conducts' magic, but, what does that even mean? Does metal attract magic like a magnet?


Are mithril, adamant, runite, and dragon innately magical metals? They don't exist in real life, but we know that you acknowledge the existence of the elements (tin, copper, iron, silver, gold, nitrogen, carbon have all popped up in game in various forms), so are they formed by metals interacting with the natural magic of the world, creating a different substance entirely?


What species does the vampyric dodging ability work on? Presumably not icyene, Mahjarrat, and gods - I'm guessing it DOES work on elves, dwarves, etc, however? Mods pls notice me

What exactly IS the Runespan? Where did all of these magical energies and rune essences just pop out of? Was it originally a holding dimension for the Stone of Jas? Essentially the Elder Gods' back pocket? That seems to make the most sense, so. Mods pls notice me

OooH! I always find myself asking lore questions to myself as I wander about my day to day life, so I'm quite looking forward to this!

1) My understanding of the Arc's lore is that once a moai dies, the island becomes dilapidated, and all the plantlife dies. So how come Cyclosis is lush and green, when their moai is clearly dead?

I'll probably think of more questions as time goes on.

My questions:

1) Will Sliske's influence in our body be part of all storylines from now on or will it be only relevant for the Elder Gods storyline? Could Sliske affect any other 6th age quest that isn't related to his storyline?

2) Will the Queen of Ashes and Xau-tak be part of the Elder God questline or are they getting their own sub-story?

3) In the latest Twitch stream it was mentioned that the Menaphos expansion wouldn't require the Sophanem quests but maybe a miniquest. Wouldn't this make the Sophanem quests inconsistent?
Couldn't you just give players an incentive to get the skill requirements like you did with Priffdinas (crystal amulet) and Children of Mah (Empty Throne room)?

4) Do you have an idea what the plot of the Evil Dave quest is going to be?

5) Why was Vorago completely ignored during Sliske's Endgame maze?


Also, the Memorial of Guthix memories were beautifully written. Great job to whoever wrote them. Member of

More questions,

Apparently, a time traveler who was with Guthix had the power of the World Guardian, Guthix takes that power back and fuses the said time traveler with the others to form the elemental.

1. My question is, how was she given the world guardian power?

2. after our death, does that mean after a certain quest that out character"dies" WE no longer become world guardian? (like a clean slate)
