He claims violence is foolish just shortly after laughing about melting some guys face off for laughing.
As if you wouldn't do the exact same thing if given a chance, Hazeel. :P


Yes and I also fully support violence....like any decent Mahjarrat.
Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.

Back on the subject of Mah.

Does it sound possible that Mah could absorb Zaros and Seren, returning her power and inheriting their knowledge and value of sentient life? In a similar way to Seren absorbing Eluned and the Dark Lord.

But if Mah was supressing sentient life before, that knowledge could make things worse and not better. Mainly by solidifying her previous reasoning for doing so. the only way to avoid that is for her to gain knowledge of how to using living sentients to generate more long term power than just a plain Revision would give. Though even that cold backfire if she decided to turn all the sentients in to her personal willess hive :P

If that happens, would that count as Mah killing two gods, and therefor gaining six points? :D

A question I've never seen put forward is how exactly Zaros and Seren, Canon wise at least, got their names.

Mah is incapable of forming a sentence verbally, so it wasn't from hearing her call them by their names outloud.

Perhaps deep down in that corrupted mind of hers she knew what she was doing when she made them. Afterall She could never replicate them again evidence why the Mahjarrat are pale imitations according to Seren.

I hope questions like this are explored in Fotg2.

I just assumed they made them up once they learned language. Before that I think they just communicated telepathically so names wouldn't matter. -
I have noticed your kind does tend to blindly stumble forward towards danger simply because it exists. What is your word for that?

I believe Seren is a play off the word Serene . Given this word and what it means, I'd suspect that Seren was the name she was given by the Elves. It just seems to fit in with the general ideals and the speaking manner of the Elves, a word like Serene.

In the old Latvian language, Zaros is the plural of the word zars . Zars, in Latvian, roughly translates to "branch" in English, and Zaros is only the plural form of zars when zars is used in the context of a physical branching off, like a pathway that splits in two directions. Whether this is what Jagex meant, I don't know. Though it does make sense as Zaros is a branch off of the tree of the Elders, and certainly an outstretched branch when compared to the other Young Gods. Perhaps he chose this name for himself when he learned the Demonic tongue, Latin.. Latvian.. Jagex might've confused them? :P

Alternatively, it is possible Mah gave them their names, and they somehow just knew them upon their creation. I can't recall now, but somebody go back and check the flashback from Within the Light and see if Zaros or Seren actually ever refer to each other by name or just 'Brother' and 'Sister.'

They both refer to each other by name, right before Zaros decided to free himself from Mah, So they've known for quite a while what their names were.

^ that cutscene is kinda fucked though. For one thing they are using language even though Zaros said he never used/had it before meeting mortals. Either he's lying or the cutscene isn't accurate.

I liken it to a story rather than a flashback. It's Zaros' interpretation of events told in a way we can understand. Neither name would likely gave existed before meeting mortals if Zaros is telling the truth.
