Arguably, one could affirm that it was timelessly true that the world guardian identity has been a constitute of the player character's identity; that is to say that even in the first, second, third etc. age the player character is the world guardian. You can come to this conclusion by considering the implications of time travel, bootstrap paradoxes, destiny, prophecy, Xua Tak; the player isn't bound by time so it's impossible to say when the player character is the world guardian and when the player character is not the world guardian. That being said, the player character only experience's the powers associated with world guardian status post their experience of The World Wakes, as far as we know.
I'm not saying you're wrong (I haven't been following the Xau-Tak/time travel/destiny stuff too closely personally so for all I know you could be right), but I was trying to keep things simple because the thread author is new to RS3 lore and probably doesn't fully understand what any of that is about.

Thanks for the responses
But is castle wars being in ruin really just aesthetics? There's no reason it's all destroyed now?
Nope, just aesthetics. It was part of some Castle Wars update a while back that did a makeover on the whole thing if I'm remembering it right. Apparently Jagex wanted to make it look more like it was part of an actual battlefield, but I'm not 100% clear on if that was their actual intentions or just some Jmod giving their opinion on twitter or something since it happened so long ago.

Not to worry!
I wasn't saying you were wrong either! I just wanted to give an alternative interpretation of what it means to be the world guardian, hence why I said "arguably". Thought it might be worth mentioning since Slayer mentioned something about being the "chosen' one and because identity is one of the cooler topics in philosophy and I shamelessly take any opportunity to make a discussion about it
. You gave a great answer and I in no way meant to undermine it.
