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.

You're welcome.

What if Sliske, being a trickster, gives gods pieces of the Stone of Jas until every piece of it is shared among the gods, and they began to fight over them? Nomad, depending on the World Guardian, was able to get a piece from the stone during Dishonour Among Thieves. The artwork for Sliske's Endgame supports this slightly, since almost every piece from the stone bears a face of a divine being, and Sliske has like "open hands".

That just came into my mind since it wouldn't plausibly mean that the gods would fight for the pieces during the quest, but after the quest.
iirc it has been said Sliske is really going to give the Stone to the winner, so I doubt he's going to break the stone apart and give a bit of it to everyone. A god fight seems unlikely to me, anyway, since they seem to reserve them for world events. 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...

Or Camel God. Why not.
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*.



That scene was a flash back before Fotg
Sliske literally was talking about how he just got the stone of jas and the staff, thanking the "mysterious voice"


Its zaros. everything fits ~

Doesn't seem to be Zaros. He's a pretty big talker and despite the Saradominist stigma does understand the concept of beauty. The voice, not so much.

Zaros also knows the siphons and the catalyst's true names and calls them such, even when talking to his followers. The voice used the common term.

I suppose it wouldn't entirely be out of the realm of possibility to be Zaros, but feels all too unnecessary to hide his identity during a time when we know he and Sliske were having contact.

The only way it can be Zaros is if they do a complete 180 on his character, with his previous appearances in FOT* and elsewhere being explained away as a charismatic front.

While it would be a pretty cool twist it's not very likely. Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.

To be fair, Zaros had a completely different personality in TLW compared to FOT*. 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.

From his perspective we carried his unconscious sister back to the worst place in the Universe for no reason.

We also saw a flashback to an exchange between him and Seren, with no mortals present, presumably totally candid. And even then his speech/attitude didn't match the mysterious voice in KS (although that assessment is based on how much you trust Seren's memory/word).

Kemtros said :
Zaros was acting in response to Seren's appearance, so I could see his personality in Fot* being closer to how he would usually act.
Regardless of the identity of the mysterious voice, I personally think that in FOT* Zaros was pulling out all the stops to appear as agreeable/charismatic as possible to the World Guardian, given the simple fact that he was completely dependent on her/him. It's somewhat possible that in the absence of Seren's emotional influence and without a need to dissemble, Zaros' true thoughts are along the harsher and purely logical lines of the mysterious voice.

I agree that Zaros was doing whatever he could to impress us, but as pointed out, the mysterious voice sees the Stone of Jas primarily as bait. The voice actively wants the gods gathered for a reason , while Zaros would only want that as a distraction. Their personalities might be close, but their goals are completely distant.
