Sixth Elder God?
I thought Elder Gods looked down on us like ants, beyond our thoughts and comprehension.
Why would one cooperate with lower lifeforms let alone talk to us. Then again, this 6th Elder is apparently 'not of form', suggesting it needs help finding a vessel, like Zaros once did.

Do they look down on mahjarrats? Do they look down on their own creations?

Maybe. Maybe elders like borrowing the creations of others


They're only Mah's creations, and unintentionally so at that. They probably see them as we see ants. Just as they see the rest of us.

Jas only saw the Dragonkin as something useful, to guard the Catalyst. (More interesting than ants - perhaps more like hornets?) Ful created the TokHaar, but seems to have only used them as tools and nothing more. Still, it is interesting to speculate: did other Elders create other things similar to TokHaar?

On topic: It's nice to see the confirmation that it's not Xau-Tak. It's probably not something we'll be seeing until the End Game; they do not want to introduce more gods until that is over (so I can already safely throw out the Queen of Ashes as someone said upthread; she's almost a Lenin-esque figure with her "recruiting the downtrodden to her infernal cause", see the Book of V; she'd be too interested in getting the Catalyst to aid her "infernal cause," I'd imagine).

Nonetheless, I am now leaning in the direction of "whatever the Mysterious Glowing Orb's voice is" for the one Sliske is serving. It's got a very similar attitude and gave me very similar shivers.

FOR THE RECORD

I went back and rewatched Rainy's playthrough of this quest on YouTube.

SLISKE IS TALKING TO SOMEONE OFF-CAMERA. He turns around JUST as the mysterious voice talks. So he's NOT talking to the Stone!


OHAI, a fellow Rainy fan :D !
And i went back and re watched that part as well....You are not worn* :3!!

We can rule out Jas and the Stone of Jas as possible suspects as Sliske's master is clearly hesitant about the power contained within the Stone, observed by the following dialogue:

Sliske: Something like this... it wants to be found, it needs a user, false or not.
Unknown: Is there a point to this?
Sliske: Sorry, getting all poetic there for a moment, totally out of character I know.
Unknown: Enough! This will bring them?
Sliske: Oh yes, very much so. The siren song of the Stone will bring all the gods together


Jas is also not a false user, so therefore he is not Sliske's master.

I would also like to rule out Zamorak, Lucien, Guthix, Saradomin and V from the position as they have used the Stone before (so must presumably have some understanding of the Stone's power). I strongly doubt that Sliske's master is either Armadyl (who has previously encountered the Stone before) or Seren (as Sliske's master states that "Beauty is meaningless" and that it is irrelevant that the Stone emits pure emotion, when Seren is effectively a being of pure emotion).

I suspect that the being in question is either immortal or has longevity. The dialogue of Sliske's master, which is impassive to say the least, brings me to the conclusion that Sliske's master is either Zaros, the sixth Elder God or Amascut.

It could well be that Sliske's master is a new character (eg. Xau-Tak or the Queen of Ashes), which goes towards explaining their objective of gathering the gods of Gielinor together in one place.
"Guthix was right, Gielinor is better off without its gods. I will not leave you, not again, but I will not lead you."

Mod Raven posted on Reddit in response to Xau-Tak being the Sixth Elder God:


Mod Raven
> "I think it's within the realm of possibility that Xau-Tak is the sixth"

Can confirm this is not true.



A theory or post was made about this and Mod Raven responded.. Here is the theory:

If you have completed the new and in my opinion well made quest (Although I wish it was a bit longer) "Kindred Spirits" [Spoilers ahead] you will have seen the cutscene where Sliske appears to be serving someone else, who is this figure? Is it Zaros? Is it another being we are yet to see? Is it Zamorak and has he switched sides? Has Sliske fallen in love with the player?

Is Sliske actually "Godless"? Is that being perhaps even Guthix?

So many questions... At least we have definitively answered the question "Is he a god yet?" (he isn't)

In my opinion I would say it is Zaros due their previous links, and previous quotes about everything Sliske does being for himself or Zaros.. But wasn't he effectively sent into exile from Zaros? Or is Zaros just as manipulative as he is, and trying to hide their allegiances from the player?

Also do you think as Guthan says Linza is ever retrievable? I have my doubts.

If you are a Mod Raven please don't forget to leave a cryptic clue ;) To get us thinking until the end game comes along. I loved the quest!

I could tell you the answer,
But then you would know,
And there'd be nowhere left,
For wild theories to grow.

I would answer the question,
Bring this lore into light,
But I looked at your theories,
And perhaps one is right?
Then again....perhaps not.

Oh, that was almost as good poetry as Sliske's in the dialogue in Kindred Spirits ;)

Anyway, assuming that some of us is right (or perhaps not), we have the 6th elder god, Zaros, Kerapac, Strange Glowing Orb, the Prehistoric Abyssal, Queen of Ashes, Balance Elemental, Kara-Meir, Jas, Mah, and many more others mentioned in this thread and in many other places like Reddit. Xau-Tak being an elder god is now impossible so we can take the god out of these candidates.
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!

OK so far...we got a maybe on Zamorak/Zaros/Guthix

It can't be one of the five Elder Gods, because they definitely can't communicate with mortals. It can only be the sixth, if the sixth can break this rule. It can't be Guthix. We have confirmation it's not Xau-Tak. I reeeeaaaally doubt it's Zamorak. So our likeliest candidates are:

Zaros, Sixth, and Sliske
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.

If it's Kara-Mier I won't even be mad.
Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.

It turns out Sliske's Endgame quest series is actually just the Godless quest series that people have been asking for.
