New God idea. Mahdara, God of Darkness.







~ How did Mahdara become a God? ~

Mahdara is the new, self proclaimed God of Darkness. After many decades and several current events surrounding gielinor, Mahdara has finally surfaced and somehow, attained Godhood.
Unlike the current Gods of Runescape. Mahdara was not born a god and didn't kill a god for their power. Mahdara, a powerful human like the player, took advantage of the player to help find and surface the Elder Artifacts through the past several years whilst hiding in the shadows. The only one aware of his existence was Sliske, but as cynical as Sliske is, he let Mahdara's plans play out. Using shards from the now broken Staff Of Armadyl, Energy siphoned from the Stone Of Jas, and Energy from the planets very core. Mahdara took his own Scythe to the Elder Kiln to forge a brand new Elder Item. The first of its kind. one to grant himself the powers of a God, perhaps even near the power of an Elder God? Now with his Newly founded strength, Mahdara, plans to join in Sliske's sickening game between the gods to eliminate his greatest threat, Sliske. Will Mahdara's plan to rule over Gielinor with his newly found dark power trump that of the gods?

~ Who was Mahdara? ~
Mahdara was once an adventurer, much like the player whom explored and quested across runescape. He was born shortly after the godwars and viewed Guthix as a true god, one to hold balance. However, with his recent death. Mahdara can no longer sit and wait in the shadows. Mahdara must now become a new God. One who will watch over the world and rid it of the Gods. Despite his power and extremely extended life, Mahdara still needed you to help him forge his weapon. Little to the players knowledge of them being used in the end.

What will you do to stop him? will you aid him? what will happen?

Facts about Mahdara, God of Darkness.

* Mahdara was once human and does truly want to bring balance back to the world, much like Guthix. His newly found power, however, is turning him into what he sought to destroy. The Irony..

* Mahdara, despite having used the player to create his own God power, does have a huge respect for them. Seeing his former self in them and hoping to have their support. Even should they turn against and fight them in the end.

* Mahdara's name is a reference to the character, "Madara Uchiha" from the anime "Naruto Shippuden." In the series Madara is refeared as a God among the shinobi, and only had one rival who could stand against him. Even his name strikes fear into whole nations. I hope to have this new God, Mahdara, strike a similar fear into the Gods of Gielinor. Making them realize that a Human, like the player, can stand against them and corner them.

*Mahdara has survived so long and prevented aging by defying death. He won a bet with the Reaper. In return, Death wove him an Amulet of Shadows, allowing him to not age and pass through things. However, does not make him Immortal.

P.S. I am still in the process of designing a insignia for this God. I haven't quite got it figured out. Also, should a moderator which to contact me about this, please inbox me :) . I work 4pm-2am Eeastern on weekdays and don't want to share my Email address or full name on the forums. I've also played this game since 2008 and would finally like to share my ideas with the community, and hopefully leave my mark on the game someway.

Thanks for the reading, any other input would be great! Spent all week throwing this God together and would love your input!

Question: If I WIN, can I have a real-life Guthix Edicts Godsword instead? Please?


Sadly note - we have been working with the artist who is making this for some time, discussing how best to achieve the required effects. We cannot really order a one off in that way, but who knows; perhaps there will be a chance to win an edict sword in the future.


LOL. I was only joking, but thanks for that interesting and tantalizing tidbit!

Top vote here from me thus far... I really thought that this resembled that "thing" from the Arc... I was actually freaked out heavy by how nasty that thing would have been as a boss... The Gravity field death drain.... *shudders*.... This would be a great origin story to where that "thing"s power originated from. I'd change the name to something like "Ora Jiin"? Nothing wrong with your name, but this might be able to provide a name-link to the NPC "Oracle", providing a storyline between that NPC and this "God". Making that NPC relevant again.

Also has almost has my vote... Although Sliske kind of already personifies this. Perhaps rework the backstory.

63598 said :
fronok, god of dragons

Could use. Definitely haven't seen their "God", but they don't really have one, if you know the story of the Dragonkin...

TBH, I have ideas, but I don't want this prize myself. Rather it went to somebody appreciative of it in all it's splendor, so I'm trying to constructive critique my favs, hopefully put them over in the process.

Although, it'd be fun to see something in-game, I sort of - well,

- Conjure Lore, Keeper of Secrets
The God whom's mind matters more than its matter.
This god tests not the might of the sword, but the might of your knowledge.
It's weakness is properly answering questions by hitting particular parts of it's body.
A question about the game's lore appears on screen and you have to decide what to do.
Its body is that with two legs, and six arms, and three heads.
You not only have to attack with knowledge, but demonstrate that knowledge using a different attack type, support skill type, or items from around the nearby environment.

In a battle of wits, timing is crucial while facing off with this "God".
Take out those body parts, one by one, or it tiz but a flesh wound!

Even if you manage to disassemble this God, it will regenerate,
as new information comes into the light... So be sure to burn all the books you've collected!
(Available from your local POH library & Lighthouse. LOL)

I'll certainly take part on this competition! Good luck everyone.

By the way, I don't know if this is the right place for this but I have a suggestion for a future competition. What players would have to do to enter is share their ideas for a skilling boss (drawing/describing how a fight would work). It would be really fun and it may help developers with ideas since they said in RuneFest that they're going to work on something like that. A real-life mini version of the max golem - the one that you summon with the Max cape emote - as the prize maybe (I couldn't think of anything that represents skilling)?

Tell me what you guys think! :P
