Well, first and foremost I want it made very clear that I'm not a good role model; I'm a thief, a liar, a cheat, I drink far too much "rum" and I've buried more friends and spouses than should be reasonably expected. The way of this World Guardian is not to be encouraged.

But if people wanted my advice on how to live their lives? Honestly, only one man had the right of it and that's that they shouldn't have to ask someone else how to live their lives. They should live for what makes them happy, cherish the things they love, stand up for what they feel is right, avoid what they feel is wrong and accept that their friends and neighbours won't always share the same opinion.

Just live life for themselves, not to please some celestial crowns and beards/horns and wings.

That's what I'd hypothetically advise.

Anyway, who's for a drink? First round's on me.

As High Priest of the Unaligned, my first and foremost mission would be to eliminate the heretics.

Everything is literal, everything is exact. Nothing is to be put more emphasis on than another. Just be unaligned in every way. Even be unaligned to existence. Even unaligned to logic itself. To thinking. To breathing. To reading this post - hey! Wait! What do you think you are doing?

I'm too Unaligned to have a forum signature.

We had an interesting discussion in Lore FC today about if we were in charge of a certain sect or denomination of the major RS religions. Kind of like the ones in that alternate reality the innkeeper of the Blue Moon Inn talks about (you know what I'm getting at.)

So, we all have our favored gods and factions. But what if you lead a certain denomination of that religion? What teachings of your god(s) would you emphasize? Would you interpret them literally? Metaphorically? Would you only embrace certain facets?

Discuss what kind of religious leader you would be for your faction!


Reformed Bandosianism, emphasizing cutting through the deceit and manipulation of other gods and focusing on personal strength in all forms: brain and brawn.

"I see a world where there is no need to flatter or deceive. Where power is there to be taken by those with the strength to do so!"

Of course I might have to take some of his words out of context to fit my interpretation, but that's par for the course. :P Dead gods can't smite you for blasphemy!

In the Zarosian church, I would emphasize improvement of society through technological development.

Like Zaros himself introduced aqueducts, irrigation and plumbing, and Hazeel mused about communal heating systems, as a Pontifex I would devote my diocese to the advancement of technology to improve quality of life.

As an Archbishop and, if need be, Acting Consul/Imperator of the Holy Zarosian Empire, I would emphasize what our Great Lord Zaros desires for us: to achieve our full potential, be it mental, physical, spiritual, magical, or otherwise, and to lead productive, cooperative lives as a united empire of races. Our Great Lord's benevolence and guidance will lead us in times of trouble, turmoil, and doubt. He will always show us the way, directly or indirectly, through intervention or inspiration, as he sees fit for he knows we can achieve much without his constant direction. If we follow his desires, our logical abilities will be able to comprehend what needs to be done and we will retain our emotions for better judgment.

Further, as we grow, we can trust in our Great Lord to stave off threats we cannot face and guide to us those who require uplifting. His wisdom and understanding of what we can be will be warranted and his trust in us to believe in him by choice while improving ourselves will be vindicated.

Our code of laws call for growth of the individual's skills and the group's capabilities, for the people of our beloved nation to take part in the nation and its faith by choice, to be able to prove something is necessary and must be done, and to prevent specific crimes from occurring as they forestall our development.

We also have wondrous artistic, jurisprudence, and philosophy programs in our Royal Sennisten Academy. Cultivating our aesthetics, intellect, and ethics for the betterment of all who join our cause. See what the previous poster mentions for examples.

What? Are you saying that I am not already the leader of Zarorakianism? My life is a lie!

All Zarorakians need to remember that both Zamorak and Zaros are great gods and important to this game. It would not be the same without them. Another important teaching is that neither of them is evil.

And both gods must be supported. If a choice between them happens with no middle ground, one must quit runescape for at least a week to explore their inner selves to find out which god do they prefer. I personally am slightly more on Zamorak's side.
NO
I do not ship ZamorakxZaros.
I follow them. And Marimbo, the best t5 god.

Indeed. In fact, I considered mentionning Tomlin in my original post due to the similar utopia I share with him, but since he works by himself (minus the crew and boat I lend him for his missions) well, he doesn't really represent a denomination of Saradomin's faction.

I did start out as a Saradominist, and I still think the blue man is good. I just grew to like Zaros after Azzanadra saved my life and I got the ancient powers. And no risk to my soul or sanity. :)

From what I can tell, most gods have decent intentions. And Zaros makes sense once you get to look at things from his perspective.

Though on another note I am officially a Grey wizard post Rune Mysteries, and my Elite Void armour is grey (Justicar) too. It may just be the case I'm a light grey or something. But even so, I don't have problems helping anyone who tries to do the right thing. Who knows? I might even end up teaching them to do it properly while coming up with plans to solve all the problems.
