And the king threw of the veil he had worn.
And before the brute's eyes, a god was born.
The brute was mildly amused by what he saw.
"So this is the face of the ruler of all”.
The god turned towards the mercenary.
“The power you have was invested by me.”
“All these dealings you had to do.”
“Were meant to make you stronger, now you will do”

The god made the holy blade come to his hand.
And he raised it, ready to strike down the man.
But the brute had not the slowes of wits.
And evaded the slash while attacking in a blitz.

Honed by years of fighting, he struck for the jugular.
Surprised by this, the god attempted something similar.
The blades clashed, blood was spilled.
Yet it was not clear who had been killed.

A maelstrom of dust and blood raged through the manor.
Whoever won, he had done so in empathic fashion.
As the dust settled, face down lay the god-king.
And risen above was the creature made by him.

With a smug expression and power coursing through his veins.
Time had come to take his rightful place.
The godly blade was formed into a mace.
And multiple cities he razed.

Now we come to the end of this considerably long chant.
I hope these origins you understand.
This being you might come across.
He listens to the dread name of Bandos.

The Short And Glorious Ascension of Brassica Prime:

One bright Raktuber day, a thief named Rennard ambled past a field of cabbages; on his way to deliver the Staff of Armadyl to Zaros. Hungry, he looked around for food, but saw only the cabbage field. “Yuck, cabbages….” he said- but gave in and went into the field. Rennard realized that he couldn’t pick a cabbage holding the Staff of Armadyl in both of his hands, (a fact that many modern adventurers have seemed to forget) and set the Staff on the ground next to him. However, the tip of the Staff brushed a cabbage that was a bit larger than the others.
Rennard finished his cabbage and picked up the Staff. He left the field whistling. And then a cabbage moved….

I've started writing some content for a short while to put into the suggestion forum regarding the Menaphites and Icthlarin emissary. Here's what I have so far, a sort of account on the Menaphite home world which (hopefully) gives an idea of what the Menaphite Pantheon would stand for.


Original message details are unavailable.

The Menaphites arrived in Gielinor, along with Tumeken during the first age. Our home, Osmayiris is a wonder to behold, but its very nature is alien to that of Gielinor. Our world soul, the Anima Mundi, exists as one with the very fabric of the material world, the sun hangs low, locked in an eternal sunset. There is no Life or Death, only Existence and Obliteration. There is no Chaos and Order, only Accord and Discord. Where the Light of the Anima shines, the Shadow of Osmayiris dwells, bathing the world in a perpetual veil of twilight.

To us, life is but a shadow of the soul's true self, just as Osmayiris is the shadow of the Anima. To us, Divination and Magic are one and the same. In life, we shape the world through our soul's desires. The creatures we hunt for food are honoured in their death. Their spirits, become esteemed guests at our banquets, whereby they are then freed to wander the world as guardians, or return to the Anima. By abstaining from greed and selfishness, valuing resourcefulness and altruism, we ensure balance between light and dark is kept.

When our time is up, we must give back what we have taken from the world soul. Death is not a time for mourning on my world, but rather contemplation and reflection. To look back on what one could have done differently in life and pass this wisdom onto those who still live. This is why the Menaphites hold the dead with such respect, their spirits are the elders of our kind, guiding young mortals to strive for accord within themselves and each other.

When we have done all we can, we return to the world soul to be re-birthed, renewed, and in turn, shaped ourselves by the very souls we helped nurture in our previous life.

When the nature gods Guthix and Seren came to our world, they stood in awe of the harmony the people of Osmayiris exhibited with their world, and sought to bring a piece of that Balance to Gielinor, 'the Jewel of the Cosmos' as they called it. Guthix met with our lord of the light, Tumeken and convinced him to bring a fraction of our peoples to this new world so that we too may strive for harmony with the other races of the cosmos.

I was a young Aviansie, born on on my homeplane called Abbinah. In my younger years I didn't see the chaos inside my world, I only cared to live happily with my family. When I became older, just then I realized how chaotic this world is, my friends and family members struggled to survive and some of them gave up and wanted to live without struggle in the afterlife. This was the biggest pain in my life, and I could not stand it.

Many of our cities got crushed by the rocks, we had to start over again once more. Our leaders didn't help us, they only cared about themselves and everything was full of corruption. Why do they have more rights than we do? Why are they able choose who should live? We are all the same, we should stand firm and watch over one another, only then we are able to survive this world.

I have lost too many people, This led me into a depression. I stopped gathering food for my remaining friends and I stopped to encourage them. I walked around the city and watched how the rocks were heading towards our city. A wise man approached me and said to me: 'If you want everyone to survive, go to the core.' I wanted to ask some more questions but the man fainted infront of me. I carried him and left him with my friends.

I was Ready to head to the core. If this can save us, then I should go there. I was still wondering what's waiting for me, we all know that the cave inside the core is a holy place and we go there to pray, hoping that the Elder Gods will save us. I was infront of the cave and went downstairs, when I arrived at the altar, a rock crashed into the cave I fainted for a while but when I got back up.. The rock revealed a secret place, I saw light coming from the hole it made. I went inside and I saw a big glowing stone.. It was amazing, I felt power coming from it. I touched the stone and I felt different, life started to grow around me. This power can save us. I flew off to the incoming rocks and destroyed them, saving us all.

Ummm fine :P

This is more like a Menaphite Myth of Creation, not an attempt of guessing any past; and with many made up thingies haha. Had posted at stories section, it was probably eaten by page 50 I guess.

It was just another dark day of eternal night at the surface of great Kalil lands, but soon obscurity would cease in a birth of power and bless.

The very earth of this planet was tired, dried by melancholy due to the constant obscurity, dreaming about the bright and cheer of a great Sun, a Kharid! And, for so to finally happen, the natural forces of the very World would join together on a massive beam of energy and holiness.

A new star was to arise, more powerful, more glorious than any other on the great sky! Heat and light shinned on the whole horizon as a gigantic ball of fire formed in the highest of the skies.

And it continued to grow and enlighten the whole world, on a ferocious battle between the Space, trying to devour and conquer all of the skies in light, and Time, trying to contain it and deliver it back to the oblivion of darkness.

The battle kept on, heated and high, and soon the very World would fear for its own survival.

It realized It had made a terrible mistake, Its lust for warm and bright had dived into a battle of the most powerful and destructive of the gladiators! Foreseeing Its own doom, the World was bound to intervene.

The Sky breezed on a massive hurricane of lights and energies, as it formed into the Mighty, the father of all menaphites, great Tumeken, lord of Sun, who, with his great staff-of-skies, the Amun, ordered the battle to be stopped at His domains! And so the skies calmed down, within its center remained the powerful Kharid, as the remaining of the celestial battle our planet once witnessed.

But still the Earth was raging in pain of the heat and burns of the flaming battle, and thus it too formed, in a great earthquake of beautiful blessed chants and powers, transforming into the form of the Kind, the mother of all menaphites, great Elidinis, lady of Water, who with Her great staff-of-oceans, the Geb, flooded her domains with refreshed and sacred waters of birth!

Finally, with the holy gifts of water and light of our great Menaphite Gods, life sprang on the lands of Glielinor, and the Parents started to build the great civilization of their blessed and protected menaphite people!

Two. Only two of them remained. The rest had found their place of rest.

''We must get rid of them. We no longer have any use for them, our job is complete.'' said the woman.

''I know, but I am afraid. Beings have risen from the imperfect ones. With our tools, they could become far more that mere mortals. They could threaten our perfection.'' stated the second woman.

''You fear too much. Simply place a safeguard on them, as I have done with my Kiln, giving the obsidian ones a thirst for battle.'' exclaimed the first.

''Perhaps you are right.'' said the second.

''I leave you now sister, it is time for me to rest like the others.'' said the first. She turned around and stared off into the cosmos, then down to their beloved creation, the perfect world which took them so long to make. She glanced over her shoulder, and said ''Goodbye.'' She turned her head back foward and disapeared, leaving no trace of the flames that permiated from her body.

''I am alone now. Time to deal with these infernal items.''

The woman waved her, summoning her tools in front of her. One by one, she cursed the tools, forcing any user of them to bare their cosequences.

Finishing, she willed them away, scattering their locations.

''One more.''

Consentrating, she called for it to come. Her most prized possession, used to create the others.

''You are too powerful. Any curse i set on you would ware off from the amount of my energy you give off. I must find protecters.''

Scowering the universe, she searched for worthy guardians of her item, but found none.

Frustrated, an idea came to her.

''If none of these being can meet my task, I shall just have to create some that can.''

Slowly, she drew power from her possession, formed it into a being the universe had never seen, and blew life into it.

Her creations mummbled silently. One of them spoke up, ''Wha—what? Where am I? Who am I?''

The woman spoke softly ''You are the Dragonkin. I am your creator. This is your assignment.'' Crondis, mightiest God of the Kharidian Desert!
