My personal crackpot theories:

* We find out the true extent of what Sliske did to us during Kindred Spirits...which may or may not result in Zaros or Zamorak stepping in to offer to 'repair' any World Guardian powers that might have been affected by Sliske's crap, or possibly give us new powers in some form. The outcome may or may not depend on how strong the 2 gods are after your choices during their quests.

* Any encounters between Zamorak and Zaros are most likely going to end up in a stalemate or no real fighting at all. If anyone's going to die, it's sure as hell not two gods who're supposed to be up for an appearance at Sliske's endgame last I checked.

^ Alternatively, one of the two *does* die somehow and the survivor gets an invite to the endgame. But most likely the invite goes to whoever handles Mah.

* Xau-Tak and Ravensworn reference happens. Last 2 quests in the Endgame line had one so why not :P

* Sliske is definitely gonna benefit from this somehow. I'm guessing a massive power boost from whatever happens. Or maybe a payoff to the whole kidnapping Nomad thing.

* Zamorak's camp is going to start planning to fight the Elders by force or trickery and open that option up for future quests when dealing with the Revision.

Now watch a good 99% of these go horribly wrong in some way :D

Well they're interesting theories for sure, but...

*According to Mod Raven, we probably won't realize the effects of Sliskes attempt on our soul until the Endgame. Even if it happens in this quest, there's no guarantee Zaros or Zamorak can do anything for us. Guthixs Blessing may end up coming back to bite us if they try.
*Aye, I predict this as well. I don't believe Zamorak and Zaros will come to blows at all. If anything, I wouldn't be surprised if WE have to step in and make sure Zamorak doesn't try to go after Zaros. Even by Jagex standards, killing off either god would be pure idiocy. Mahjarrat, on the other hand...
*Yes! I very much foresee both Ravensworn title-holder exclusive dialogue and a (maybe not so) hidden Xau-Tak teaser.
*Last I had heard, Sliske may not even BE in this quest except as a minor character (like his role in Nomads Elegy). Though I suspect that like Elegy, he'll make a cameo appearance near the end. A

Was this from a stream or something? Because I wasn't aware of Raven's statement on that O_o

Regardless, I'm envisioning more of a temporary power up situation similar to the first FotG happening with a potential plot thread later down the road to (attempt) undoing anything Sliske did anyway. Nothing has to stick, but I don't think anyone can tell me with a straight face that Zaros at the very least wouldn't be interested in trying if he can since his whole character is based around manipulating important people like us to begin with.

Though I could be very wrong on that. Wouldn't be the first time it happened :|

Which is why I didn't say he was going to actively be in the quest itself beyond potentially inviting either of the gods to his endgame (like he did in Elegy) and maybe sticking around to channel the inevitable Elder God energy that spreads around if someone gets a good shot in at Mah. I suspect that this is pretty much going to be Zamorak's ticket to the game more than Zaros' though since Zaros is having Char keep tabs on Sliske anyway just so he can get to the Catalyst.

Seren is an obvious question to ask. I've thought for awhile now that this is going to be the quest where the option of killing a god would occur. The idea of taking the life of a god is certainly a conversation idea and doing it would certainly be pushing the envelope, which Jagex seems to like doing in quests. Back to Seren's involvement, I believe her and Zaros will be the two gods on the pedistel. Kill one and empower the other. Zaros said he wanted to become t1 I'm sure he knows where power like that would need to come from, so the character would do it.

Saying this should make you question what Zamorak's involvement will be. However with kindled spirits, Sliske is no longer a "neutral" faction. Zamorak weirdly is, he has history with both Seren and Zaros as well as the guardian.

So how I see it going is Zamorak going to Freneske for some reason meeting Zaros followed by Zaros summoning Seren. Zamorak gives us our guardian status back somehow so we can make the choice of who ascends and who dies (we totally get a "godslayer" title). And then a boss fight with Azzy/Braxorian, and Zamorak says I hope you made the right choice. Zamorak and whoever lived through the quest go to endgame.

In "Dishounor Amongst Thieves" we learn that Khazard's father is "Za..." I think this Quest can expand on that.

In "Kindred Spirits", Sliske is revealed to be working under a master. Could this master be related to Mah?

In "Nomad's Elegy", Sliske took Nomad with him, either dead or alive. It can be presumed that he has been turned into a wight.

Amascut's descent into madness was partially due to witnissing Mah, somehow. I hope the Desert Gods will be involved again, especcially Amascut.

I'm fairly certain that we'll find out who Khazard's father is, but I don't think it will connect to Kindred Spirits or Nomad's Elegy. Those two quests were developed by Raven, while I think it was always understood that Fate of the Gods 2 would be handled by someone else, even if it wasn't the Watch at first. I think what we'll see would more of a sequel to Dishonour Among Thieves, especially thanks to Ollie developing. As such, I don't think we'll learn who Sliske's master is.

I'm not sure if the Desert Gods will be involved. That might strongly depend on how the Desert quests do for 2017. Amascut probably won't be featured in the Sixth Age outside of the Gauntlet of Souls until the Desert series ends. We might see Icthlarin, unless it's decided that Nomad's Elegy was enough for him in the Countdown.

I could potentially see them acknowledging God Wars Dungeon 2 somehow. If Seren is involved, and even if Sliske has a small role, the four factions in that dungeon all share a connection to Mah. There's a good place to tie the narratives together.

Oh, and we might get a new item for Degquest.

.

Maybe it was a reason why all four factions in GWD2 has ties to Freneskae and Mah.
