I couldn't resist and had to ask three. Forgive me!

1. Where the hell is Elidinis? How closely is she watching us? Why are there no hippos ingame yet? Hippos are AWESOME (and menacing)!

2. What happened on previous expeditions to Acheron? Has anyone ever settled there? Can we get some Inuit-style awesomeness going on? Dog sleds hype?

3. Why haven't gods we've never seen - like the Obsidian Tribunal - chosen to come to Gielinor? Isn't Gielinor's whole schtick that it's god cat-nip (god-nip?) ^ "Some of those words were

Is "holy magic"
(Holy Force spell, silver blessings, holy water, etc) just a type of magic that Saradomin and his followers developed to level the playing field against their most common superhuman enemies (vyres, demons, werewolves), or is it a magic that draws on the power of belief (like the Afterlife), or some mix or something else entirely? Mods pls notice me

Mahjarrat obviously don't follow the same rules of life that other creatures do, since they're divine dreams of an Elder God. Jack has said they can’t be vampyrized or ripper demon’d.
Any other interesting tidbits we should know about Mahjarrat, like if bane metal can't be attuned to them or something?

What can you tell us about Mahjarrat reproduction?
It seems like the parents can either combine a large chunk of their energies to immediately create an offspring (like Zemouregal Sr making our favorite egomaniac), or they can-.. Do the do -- Palkeera was pregnant with Khazard, and Zamorak has a belly button, implying that pregnancy and birth is also an option for them. Mods pls notice me

Is ice-related magic limited to the dark, ancient element of ice?
Ariane has told us that the ancient spellbook is a bit taboo at the Wizards' Tower - and reasonably so given its association with some pretty rude (read: murderous) dudes. But, the RuneSpan has an ice platform that requires air and water runes, and there's also the Queen of Snow and the ice sprites, and the Moonclan taught Suqah ice magic - all of which seem unrelated to last revision's ice. Basically what I'm asking is if a hydromancer HAS to use magic that they might consider "dark" if they want to work with frozen water. Mods pls notice me

We know the combat abilities in game are noncanonical - but the shadow, smoke, and blood tendril abilities, as well as ice asylum, have lore basis as Ancient spells.
Does this mean that ice magic could be used to heal?
The Codex Ultimatus seemed to refrain from referring to it as ice, calling it 'crystal' (which is a Seren-Zaros thing), so is it actually a form of healing crystal magic (like Prism of Loyalty) that was misinterpreted as ice? Mods pls notice me

Why did Zaros seem to be wary of the Shadow Realm's "leviathans"?
It seems odd to me that the Shadow Realm would naturally produce creatures able to take on a tier 2 god, so I imagine there was some more reasoning behind what Zaros said. I'm guessing they'd be a waste of time and energy (and a higher risk in case he slips up) for him to take on? Mods pls notice me
