You neglected the possibility that the Balance elemental knew the player in the future after he/she banished the gods and then died. The balance elemental is a being with the capability to straddle dimensions and as such exist in the future or past.

There is a possibility that the Balance Elemental simply told us of our eventual death.

Furthermore we do also know that Guthix had been watching the adventurer grow and develop for a long time before he blessed him/her. This implies that the adventurer's birth may have something special to begin with.


Check Page 1, Post 4. Aquamage did not forget the Balance Elemental.
Where do you know that Guthix is following us? He was sleeping...

He referred to the possibility of it knowing us in the past, not the future.

Refer to Guthix's dialogue in TWW. Furthermore Guthix's sleep is not a state of inactivation, it's much more complicated.

Whenever I talk to the Sin Seer in Seers' Village, she says, "Augh! Your sins! They BLIND me!" Now, I'm not sure, but I THINK that she says that to every player character, which would mean that she isn't talking about anything we've done in our adventures, but something (or more than one something) that we did before we began our adventuring career.

Or maybe she doesn't say that to everyone and is referring to something I've done while questing.

I doubt the Adventurer is destined to banish the gods from Gielinor. Guthix may want that, doesn't mean the Adventurer is going to actually do it. Futur content (God emissary) seems to suggest that the Adventurer isn't going to necessarily follow Guthix's will. And The chosen commander quest shows that destiny is just a lie that gods (Bandos in this case) use to control mortals.

Hmm, could I request more info on the grandmother thing?

I actually incorporated an aunt into my character story due to the penance runner examine message. So, tell me more about the grandmother thing if you can! (EDIT: Clarification - I knew about the examine message before reading this thread, and incorporated the aunt before reading this thread. So it's not that it's a result of this thread.)

Also, something else. In optional dialogue with the ghost from the Restless Ghost quest - Talking to him without an amulet, where you can't really understand him - You have the option at at least one point to say 'My brother had EXACTLY the same problem.' or something.

...Although considering the player can't really understand what the ghost is saying, could it be that that's nonsense and doesn't necessarily mean the player character really has a brother?

Nice thread you got here. :)

I had a theory about our character for awhile, but The World Wakes destroyed it. lol (I thought maybe our character was Guthix, and his 'sleep' was really him erasing his memory and going on as an adventurer. I think I can modify this theory however.. How about this! The 'player' is really an Elder God who wished to experience the 'simple life', so he became a 'mortal' and erased his memory? :D Ok.. probably not, but that'd be awesome!

Anyways, I think for the Balance Elemental it's most likely it either thought you were someone else (ancestor?), or simply was driven insane from guarding the stone for so long.

Guthix was said to be a position, a title, of someone who maintains balance and no one said it has to be a god. People gave Guthix that name even though there's no proof whatsoever that he was that mythical 'guthix'. There's also no proof that it doesn't pass from person to person without requiring death to do so. The fact is with all of what's been said in the OP the player could very well be a 'guthix' without being the god Guthix.

Don't forget that the player went back to the First Age in Meeting History where you fix some problems, so I'd say Guthix is well aware of the Players existence and could even have been waiting for them.

Where does it say all this, then?
