Moreover, the Stone of Jas-- sorry, Mysterious Stone/Eye of Saradomin was handled really well. In theory, I could've known or suspected from the onset that the Eye was referring to that one important Eye in the narrative of the game. But I didn't! I obviously recognised the floor pattern in the temple but not until the Eye was mentioned directly in the vision did I make the connection. Excellent job!! I love being deceived like that. The writing is also perfectly in harmony with Movario's notes (who first mention the Eye and the scarce mentions of the Stone in various sources) and the RotM revelation that Zamorak started the God Wars because Saradomin had taken the Stone from him. I lost interest in the Stone since Missing Presumed Death in RS3 but it's been rekindled! Excellent way to use this random ‘evil eye decoration’ on the Tower; kudos for this. Would be interested in seeing how WGS would be changed were it to be backported into OS.

Apart from that, the reference to the Mage Training Arena (whilst it did not feature in the quest, the rune guardians begged a mention), Traiborn's personality and branch of magic as in previous encounters, the apprentice system from the novels, the NPC Contact gag, Asgarnia Smith's rôle, the involvement of the ZMI as more than just Muahaha Evil Zamorakians... All in all, an excellent job. I've got my suspicious about this Miss Persten, though; will keep an Eye on her. Wherever she is...

I hope we'll get a sequel to this quest, delving further into the history of magic and runecrafting and the Abyss. There's many ways to expand: the MTA, obviously, but also the ZMI operation at the Ourania altar, the Arceeus clan, the Moonclan, heck, even Brimstail's research. Very excited indeed.
