Now about being warlike, you may be right. Hopefully there is still a lot of Bandos lore to be explored hopefully in a Bandos God Saga. If Armadyl used to be different, maybe Bandos used to be different too. What if there was something more that made him turn to the actions he took in his early days? Maybe a lot of what he said in the tower was so he looked good? I would hope to have a Bandosian story of suffering, something that made him give up on everything and want to destroy everything.

I would hope there was more to the story, something to almost make you feel bad for him until he unleashes his rage and loses control to become a god of war.


The Mighty Fall gave us a book of Bandos's memories that traced his path to ascension from his early life. It traces his warlike tendencies back to his childhood sociopathy when he'd break his toys in play fights and not care because, 'They're his and he can do what he wants with them.'

As a god, he later extends that mentality to his followers. Part of the reason he hates Guthix so much and worked so hard to un do the Edicts was because Guthix claimed his followers on Gielinor as denizens of Gielinor and forced Bandos of world without them. Because of this frustration: he has his remaining followers on Yu'biusk fight until the world is uninhabitable; he scries on Gielinor incessantly until he finds out Hopespear can see him (from there developing his Chosen Commander plan); and even while second guessing himself when the battle with Armadyl was clearly turning in Armadyl's favor and Bandos was second guessing his past actions, Bandos still ended up blaming everything on Guthix (Zarador post The Mighty Fall).

Jagex very clearly assassinated any chance of his character being seen positively after his death (deliberately turning his statements above his ascension and origins into half truths and lies).

Would have made a lot more sense for them to put the God Sagas out before we had to do all this God siding for the Endgame so we got to know the Gods more personally.

Agreed. I also remember most of what was in Bandos's Memories was based on work written by Mod John A which unfortunately because of World Event 2, had to be altered. He even stated on an old forum post that if there happened to be anything that didn't seem to match, the solution would have to be that "Bandos was lying."

Yea I don't like that was done either and they didn't seem to want to paint him in a better light and it was just easier to let him die as he was and people think the worst of him. He was not one of the more popular factions and had more antagonist qualities than other gods so he was just kind of discarded.

He was at least made a decision on and not built up whereas V was built up as this new god who was going to ascend and is just killed off to somewhat further the Dragonkin storyline. So I do feel you lol Supporter of

V was honestly amazing too. It's shameful that he died. It's like deaths are made to impact a story but the way these two deaths were done, it honestly made me feel nothing. Like, they discarded the characters in such a way I didn't even feel they were story-based characters anymore but just regular NPC's.

I do think it would be a good idea to make
Bandos
the title of the New War God that way his memory is commemorated, Say if Zarador were to take up the mantle and claim the title of "Bandos" for the faction. Supporter of

To be honest, I would hate for the new title to be given to Zarador or a character that already exists. I would love to see someone stronger, perhaps the equivalent or greater than Bandos was.

I've actually got an ogre shaman in my RP (can't remember if he has a name or not), and he has quickly grown in power and tactics, even improving his writing skills before the story starts. He has now taken the mantle as leader of the Bandosian forces in this RP which is a full-blown god war, and is currently commanding his troops to search for machine parts to repair a super-weapon that he and Zarador are working on in Yu'biusk, having prepared blueprints and battle plans. The Armadyleans and Saradominists are also looking for these parts, and this is a war unlike any other. Fire rains down on the earth, black rocks erupt from the ground and the sea bubbles and spews smoke and flames, particularly in that one place where the thick of it is happening... Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!

I would like to see Zarador become the third in command to the bandosian faction. Then Graardor second in command (love that guy).

Lastly i want a quest where all contenders for the position of war god get punched into the dirt by an ourg (or big bandos fanatic) that is not introduced yet. He wins and leads but is lacking power because he isn't a god yet.

In the next quest they then seek a way for him to become a god. They succeed (stone of jas or him/her killing a t5 god).

Congrats the bandosian faction has new meaning and will continue to bring excitement to the world of gielinor!

(also no respect for you guys who won 3 world events, learn to make your own decisions for once) WE 1: Alligned with
Saradomin
(W)
WE 2: Alligned with
Bandos
(L)
WE 3: Alligned with
