Xau-Tak is expressed as a kind of malicious, destructive force rather than the coldness of the Mysterious Voice. While Xau-Tak will no doubt be incredibly powerful, I don't image him being very intelligent or willing to manipulate from behind the scenes. Besides, Xau-Tak has already been confirmed as NOT the Mysterious Voice.

The only plausible entities left are Kerpac and the Sixth.
Hmm alright that means my first conclusion was wrong. But I think the other 2 are probably still right. Just no longer referring to Xau-Tak but Kerapac or the sixth, although I do not think it is Kerapac since I find it hard to believe a dragonkin and a "false user", the least trustable "false user" would work together.
Sliske isn't "false user". He is stonetoucher NO
I do not ship ZamorakxZaros.
I follow them. And Marimbo, the best t5 god.

There's been no mention of our new fire overlady I've seen, the Queen of Ashes. Problem is we've had almost no lore on her aside from V's offhand mention. She seems cold and calculating, since she's evil and all, but I doubt Sliske would work with her. It is possible, though.

I personally doubt the interference of an Elder God very much, they just seem so far above us that they wouldn't bother with the squabbles of mortals and gods. However, an incorporeal one trying to get back is possible. I'm sure it's not Jas, though. Feonix ironman clan (1k total, IM and HCIM only)

When V first mentioned Xau-Tak and the Queen of Ashes, I was far more interested in the Queen of Ashes, so I've admittedly been kind of indifferent to ***-Tak.

While I was most hopeful for Jas to be pulling the strings, that whole cutscene destroyed my theory, so the only chance of it being an Elder God to me would be if it were the Sixth.

Another thing, look at what Sliske says after Fate of the Gods: "I suppose I'll just have to try to make things MORE interesting for you. Not like Lucien and his pantomime villain routine - 'You dare attack a GOD?' Hahaha! Not like the predictable dragonkin and their boorish violence. And not like all these gods and their huge egos...Zaros included."

So I'd say that everyone Sliske insults here is ruled out as his master. If you still insist it could somehow be Zaros, I'm not sure how else to say that it won't be him, and an Elder God would have even more of an ego, unless the Sixth is acceptable for whatever reason, though it does suit my Vessel theory best. The only reason I could see him working with the Dragonkin is if it was a Dactyl. While it's been pointed out that the Dragonkin wouldn't risk strengthening the curse, I could see a Dactyl consider all possibilities, but never a Necrosy*tes, so this supports the theory that it's Kerapac. Maybe Sliske turned Strisath over to Kerapac right after MPD? Despite thinking that the voice is uninterested in the Stone, I could also see it being that the mysterious voice - assuming it's Kerapac, or at least a Dactyl - is proud of their ability to resist the curse, so they're not afraid of it being used.

me too, although I do like X-T. The Queen of Ashes' whole shtick of burning everything to the ground seems nice, I already want to pledge my allegiance to her. Feonix ironman clan (1k total, IM and HCIM only)

its zaros...


Clearly Sliske had just gotten the stone of jas and staff of armadyl at that moment, and he was thanking someone who taught him something new about the shadow realm.

Only zaros knows more than him about the shadow realm, and zaros was still considered sliske's master before Fotg

Its zaros...

I wonder if **u-Tak will actually be important outside of the pirate series.

It looks like he will appear in the quest for a few minutes, and then die, never to be heard from again.

zaros excommunicated Sliske at the end of Fot* and I recall a mention that Sliske hasn't been in contact with the big Z since the 2nd age (until he was reformed). Zaros doesn't seem to be the guy to excommunicate someone and then still be their ally. Sliske also wanted us to weaken Zaros after he had allied with his Master, since M,PD takes place before Fot*.

I have collected my thoughts again and thought more that dialogue between Sliske and his possible master. S/he might or might not be his master, but someone asking Sliske for a (small) favour. As we know, Sliske likes to do favours, note the cases of Barrows Brothers, Gregorovic and Linza. Sliske does his/her favour since it leads to a great disaster: the gathering of gods along with the Stone of Jas. Imagine what would happen there; the Necrosy*te dragonkin come there and annihilate everyone when they detect someone using falsely the stone, the Stone of Jas shatters and plausibly causing massive amounts of divine energy unleashing everywhere, or the gods begin violently fighting for the stone.

So, master maybe a strong word for a person like Sliske. He likes to do things alone, be free and independent from others (he disobeyed Icthlarin and then tried us to sabotage Zaros' return). A moocher could fit instead of a master, because for instance Linza and Gregorovic were unaware of Sliske's plans for them. Or just the one-who-asks-a-favour. But who could (or dare) to ask Sliske for a favour with such great and disastrous consequences? I have recollected (again) some candidates:

- The 6th Elder God: Since she is unborn, she would like to get born. That may require the Stone of Jas being shattered because it would then release a lot of divine energy.

- Kerapac: Destroying the Stone of Jas to break the curse from his race. If it doesn't happen, at least there is a high percentage that the false users kill each other in the event, easing the curse.

- Sliske: I admit, thinking that Sliske has a schizophrenia or a split-personality sounds comprehensible; he would just do a favour to himself and cause a lot of mayhem among the gods, which means destruction.

- Kara-Meir: Another candidate suggested in this thread. She is a Godless, so killing all the gods through force and action could be easily fulfilled by Sliske. Would Kara-Meir then become a Barrows Sister? Loristic, the Seeker of Lore, the Archivist of Knowledge, the World Guardian, the Diplomat of Cabbages, and the Regent of Miscellania. May anima mundi be with you and hail Guthix!
