Hello honorable lorehounds and Leth. As you may have already heard, Jagex shared the most recent god emissary stats in a data stream. If you have not seen them, The Aviansie has a thread displaying them for convenience. These percentages give us a pretty good idea of how popular each faction is with the RS community as a whole, but I'm sure everyone reading this is well aware of how little the average player cares about lore.
Many people who chose their faction did so for superficial reasons or without a clear understanding of the lore behind them, for example, some Saradominists may be unaware of his morally ambiguous nature and follow him out of a belief that he is the god of good. Some Godless players may support their faction simply because they liked Guthix, without questioning whether or not the world is truely better off without the gods. And of course, we've all heard of Zarosian players who only follow Zaros because he has ancient magic, ancient curses, and Nex, rather than the actual merits of his character. So I wondered... would the emissary stats look different if only lorehounds were included, the people who truely care about that sort of thing?
-Which of the 9 emissaries you align yourself with.
-Your reason for supporting your faction. Frivolous or factually incorrect reasons (such as "I like Zamorak because red is my favorite color." or "I like Seren because she liberated the avernic demons."
will result in your post not being counted.
If you are so inclined, you may also include the following:
-If your faction didn't exist, which would you choose instead and why?
-Is there anything about your own faction you dislike or disagree with?

The purpose of this thread is to attempt to gauge how popular each faction is within the lore community, and to see if there are any significant differences in faction alignment between the lore community and the RS community as a whole. Each player should respond with:
-Which of the 9 emissaries you align yourself with.
-Your reason for supporting your faction. Frivolous or factually incorrect reasons (such as "I like Zamorak because red is my favorite color." or "I like Seren because she liberated the avernic demons."
will result in your post not being counted.

-Is there anything about your own faction you dislike or disagree with?
