What happens if Zamorak won the battle of lumbridge? Would he have gotten control of lumbridge?

What happens if lucien survived the dragonkin? Would he have achieved godhood?

What do you think of a new race/creature that has a crocodile face and the duck body?

Something I have always wondered, and was intending to ask at runefest before I got sidetracked by Mod Orion and his elite dungeons...
When a quest line such as the pirates has its finale many years after the previous parts, how long had you been holding on to the lore for it? Do you decide from the off where the series will go, or do you make it up on the spot? I am guessing that there is a bit of both throughout the game, but are there any major examples of either?
The big one for me is Endgame. Did you plan Sliske's plan and the appearance of an Elder God way back when you killed Guthix?
Thanks for your time, looking forward to seeing what the future of the lore holds Goals

It was previously mentioned that you had prepared for Tuska to win, and in fact, for any outcome from that event. Since raids and mazcab likely took a long time to produce, I assume that they were being made before the outcome of Tuska Comes had been determined. How would we have accessed that content if Tuska had have won? Goals

I know this one leans towards the bad topics, so I wont feel bad if you ignore this, but I've been wondering:

How did Xau-Tak settle on Giellinor before the eredicts of Guthix were destroyed

Xau-Tak might not be a god, but rather something of similar, or in fact, greater power much like Hostilius. I always interpreted Xau-Tak as simply being an absurdly powerful creature that had been, potentially falsely, worshipped by the Mwana who are under the impression that it is Tezcasathla Goals

Misthalin has had an on-again-off-again relationship with the church of Zamorak since the burning of the Wizards' Tower in year 70. How might relations between the Church and the State have been effected by the Battle of Lumbridge?

Ooh you'll like the events of the Zamorakian Insurgence following the War of 164. :) Have you read the novels? Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

Can you give us a brief overview on King Baxtorian's kingdom was at it's height of power? I've broken down how what I would most like to know in the these bulletpoints:

* How large was the kingdom? Was it comparable in size to Kandarin today?
* How strong was King Baxtorian's military? We know it wasn't enough to prevent the Great Divide and the Civil War.
* How long exactly did the kingdom last for? We don't have the exact dates for the eventual fall.
* Who did the Iorwerth hire to bring down the kingdom? Where they just marauding bands of humans for hire, or where they are more familiar people we might still find today?
* What ultimately happened to Glarial? We know she stayed behind and became captured when Baxtorian went to go fight the Iorwerth during the Great Divide, but we don't know by whom, and Baxtorian only ever assumed her death.

What WERE you going to do if Tuska had "won" the world event?

How powerful are anima guardians like Vorago, Telos, and Solak compared to gods? Vorago needed a powerful, temporary powerup to kill an already wounded Tuska.

Have you ever considered writing your own full length novels about RuneScape, like the trilogy by T.S. Church? There's so much material you could use!

How canon are holiday events and characters from holiday events? We know that the Land of Snow is a fragment of Remnark.

Thanks!

Lore adjacent question:

With the focus of the devs seemingly being on maximizing player's playtime vs dev time required, equating playtime to player's enjoyment or reasoning to stay subscribed, to determine priority on what projects to develop, is there any hope for those of us who love quests to see 7-9 quests a year, with several larger scale lore heavy quests? Or are we now at a stage where Runescape will be 3-4 quests a year, much smaller in scale, and reusing as many assets as possible to minimize time spent?
