As much as I may not like it, Jagex has made the argument that 6th age quests occur in the order in which they are released (world events slot into that timeline the same way). So unless it's an exception, HW would have occurred after MPD, and the kin wouldn't have had the Siphon.

Even if we make the assumption that HW can occur prior to MPD, however, the Siphon would have been broken at the time (and it took Sliske with Jas's help to repair it) rendering it rather non-useful for the Kins' purposes at the time.

Hmmm I was under the impression that the gem at the top was an addition by Armadyl, and not necessary for its function as an Elder Artifact. I seem to remember that explanation being given in Q&As after TWW. -
I have noticed your kind does tend to blindly stumble forward towards danger simply because it exists. What is your word for that?

It was an addition by Armadyl. For some reason I thought the staff got broken in half as well.

Looking at pictures of the cutscenes, the orb wasn't the only thing to break. The Armadyl symbol that held it also appears to have broken, and that may have been part of the artifact or may have been part of the orb.

I actually thought that too earlier, before I asked the question but when I went to look it up and all I could find was information about how the Orb shattered, that's why I even mentioned it along with The Mirror, if it had been snapped in half I would've assumed it wouldn't really work that well anymore.

And we don't seem to get any kind of notification where Saradomin is at while we're holding The Measure.

The Locator just tells you the plane artifacts are on, and tells wielders of the other artifacts what plane the wearer is on. Seeing as we already knew that Saradomin was on Gielinor, the Measure had nothing to tell us about the Locator that we didn't already know.

Something I just remembered, we actually get The Measure on Freneskae and we can also travel to a few different worlds and we still get no notification about where The Locator is.

That actually made me think of something I hadn't thought of before, what were the Dragonkin doing during the Battle of Lumbridge?
Two flase users were fighting to the death (even though neither died) how did the Dragonkin let that opportunity pass them by? 99-120 Skill content , Skilling boss ideas , Talents , God Emissary D&D/Minigame , Vampyric and Elven tech trees

More questions:
Will Kerapac actually focus more on helping the Ilujanka now that The Catalyst is destroyed and will Zaros also help him in order for them both to keep their promises to the Ilujanka?

In theory if an Ilujanka was powerful enough could they have used their beast taming power to tame Tuska? Or Loarnab? 99-120 Skill content , Skilling boss ideas , Talents , God Emissary D&D/Minigame , Vampyric and Elven tech trees

Because Saradomin presumably remained on Gielinor. He would have gotten notice of the Measure moving about, but as long as he stays on Gielinor, the Measure wouldn't tell us anything we didn't already know.

Presumably, Sliske had already captured Strisath and taken the Siphon by this point (as he did so before the events of MPD). Alternatively, they simply recognized that they couldn't possibly take on the two gods directly even when distracted by one another and didn't have the pull to perform a successful test of the mirror strategy (which they may or may not have developed by that point) against false users of their power.

It also wouldn't have helped that the gods were surrounded by their armies at the time (the irritation of habing to deal with the retaliation of which was another factor behind the kin not using the mirror on Saradomin immediately).

Could we perhaps compile all the questions that have already been asked? I'll be more than happy to ask a few on behalf of you guys, but I don't want to inadvertently ask something that's already been asked...

I read the new posts daily, so I'm good on this. No need to worry :D
