Why are you on Ashdale?
Quick find code: 341-342-83-65989972
In my head, I rationalised it as being that we are, in fact, two characters.
There's the original hero which is us in the fifth age - and "the World Guardian" which is us in the sixth age.
At some point, almost immediately after Guthix's death (the finale of the 5th age) - the original hero meets their demise with their body so badly destroyed so Death cannot respawn us. However, our soul in the underworld cannot pass on to the afterlife knowing the world is still in peril. Sensing the need for a hero in Ashdale, our soul, through force of will (or with Death's help, or whatever), becomes a new body on Ashdale.
However, the adjustment isn't immediate and causes "compatibility errors" explaining why were we so confused in the Ashdale tutorial, but why we (potentially) had such high levels. Over time, the original hero's soul settles and we sort of pick up where we left off. [For new players, the skill experience was lost, hence why they start as level 3s]
For any fifth age quests now played (by new players or old), I rationalise it as a memory being triggered of our past life which we're sort of seeing through their eyes.
I know that there's still a bunch of lore errors that my explanation doesn't cover, but it works in a loose enough format for me.
If you only do what you can do, you will never be more than you are now.
