To Thanatos...(presumebly death but titles are far less polite then actual names in the eyes of the Reaper...true I had a name but it is lost to memories...)

Your answers intrigue me....all except the answer to my second question...

The answer only furthers the truth about your kind...oh how you'd laugh if you learned of my intentions and goals....that is if you could....

Knowledge possessed by one who has indeed tapped a strain of curiosity in my mind has prompted me to further questions...:

- The Abyss located in the demon realms is connected to the underworld is it not? If so....are souls ever sent/put into Tartarus?

- Do you know of the "Mark of Moros"?

Thanatos: Ah, a truly intelligent being it seems. Few remember my name.

As for your first question; the Void which holds the demon realms is indeed connected to the Underworld. In fact, it is connected on the very island my followers and I call home. On the southern area of the island there is a mountain of incredible height, adjacent to this is a crater filled with fire and brimstone. At the very bottom of that crater is a gate leading to the Void. The gate is said to have been made by eternal magic, and only allows people to enter the Void from our side, not the other way around. Likewise, I have heard that if someone has even the smallest sliver of goodness in their heart they cannot enter through the gate. I do admit though, I have never tried. Even though I am immortal, the Void is one of the very few things I fear.

And, it really depends what you mean by Tartarus. In the past, that word was synonymous with the Void, but as of late, I've heard the Void King created a new section of the Void and named it Tartarus.

If you were asking about whether souls are sent to the Void... As I mentioned earlier, every soul we gather is taken to the Hall of Judgment, and well, judged. Afterward, if the soul is judged to be evil without remorse, it is turned over to one of the inhabitants of the Void, who takes it through the aforementioned gate. In the past, there was but one messenger of the Void per soul, but now, with the fracturing of Voidal factions, there may be as many as ten, all clamoring for possession of that soul.

As for this "Mark of Moros" I have not heard of it, at least not under that name. Perhaps however, that is just because it is a human name for something we deities call by another name. "He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."

To Thanatos: I thank you for your time in answering my various questions. I'm always prompted to ask more but I'm sure you're quite busy and so I'll leave you alone, satisfied with your current answers...

The information will prove to be quite useful in my travels...

Perhaps we shall meet each other one day....although not in the way you'd likely expect....

To Aqua: Can we expect an add soon? These character questions have been quite fun but I believe a story continuation....may soon be in order...

Oh wow, people were paying attention... oops.

Anyway, the add is partway written and will be up either tonight or tomorrow. "He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."

Good thing too, or else I, *mumbles name and title* would totally *mumbles profusely* and *mumbles with obvious venom* in your backyard! Also, if you discover my title, keep it secret. In Bandosian, Shining Light God give me big boom in head if secret shared. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! My head! The pain, the agony!

Okay, I'm about to post the add. A little warning before hand; the first part of this add is pretty gruesome, so if you're squeamish I suggest skipping to this line:

“Ah,” sighed Kevin as he leaned against a tree. "He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."

The captain of Ardougne's paladins frowned; it seemed that even this early in the morning, the gossip of peasants spread like wildfire. The moment he had gotten word of the incident, he had thrown on his armor and rushed down to the marketplace, but it seemed that half of Ardougne had beat him here.

With gruff shouts, he managed to get the crowd to give way just enough for him to get into the marketplace center. There, he found a few of his best men standing between the crowds and the gruesome sight in the market's center, doing their best to hold the crowds back. When his eyes finally fell upon the object of all this attention, the paladin captain immediately gagged and felt bile force its way up his throat. He had seen numerous battles of all sizes and against all sorts of enemies, but none had been as gruesome as what he now beheld.

In the center of the marketplace three columns had been stuck to the ground and now held a sign proclaiming “Thus to traitors and all who defy the Great Lord!” On each of the columns holding up the sign, was a person wearing the symbol of Zamorak, each of whom had their eyes gouged out, their tongues sliced off, and their faces mutilated beyond recognition, except for the symbol of Zaros which was burned into the foreheads of each. On top of this, their limbs had been mangled to a point where they were but loosely connected bundles of shredded flesh. And perhaps worst of all was how they were secured to these columns; apparently whoever had done this to them had taken the time to carefully pulled out their throats, stomachs, and intestines all through their mouths, moving with such care that they came out still connected. After this, the person who had done this had used the intestines as rope to tie these Zamorakians to the pillars.

The paladin captain shook his head in shock; he had heard of this sort of thing happening recently in other parts of Gielinor, but never in a thriving city. "He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."

“Burn these corpses, and the whole monument with them,” the captain told his men. He was surprised to see that instead of being obeyed, his order caused the paladins to exchanged worried looks. “Is there a problem?” he asked.

“Sir,” ventured one of the paladins, “It's just... They're not corpses.”

The captain's eyes widened, and he turned back to the macabre monument. Upon closer inspection he realized that though faint and erratic, the Zamorakians were still breathing.

“Saradomin have mercy,” he gasped. Turning to his men he added, “Put these poor souls out of their misery, make it as painless as you can.* The paladins nodded in reply, and three crossbow shots were fired, each into the chest of one of the Zamorakians. A moment more and the Zamorakians went still.

From a nearby rooftop, a young man with long blond hair watched the paladins end the lives of the pitiful Zamorakians. “You really go overboard,” he sighed, turning away from the marketplace.

“Bah,” said Rue, “Don't be a pansy. Oh wait-”

He was interrupted as an arrow flitted past his head.

“Would you like to keep talking?” asked Kevin, notching another arrow.

“Fun-sucker,” hissed Rue.

“Honestly, why I am stuck babysitting you whenever Isamu isn't around is beyond me,” sighed Kevin.

“Because I'm such a hot little devil,” said Rue matter-of-factly.

“Well, you're right about being a devil,” replied Kevin, “I dispute that other part though.

Anyway, we've confirmed that the example you left for all those not following the Great Lord was seen, now let's get out of here before...” Kevin trailed off as a new commotion filled the market square, and turned back to see what was going on.

A clown stood near the corpses of the now dead Zamorakians, looking them over, while the paladins stared at him in shock.

“So,” he said, looking at the sign. “If I get these “words” right then, this sign means that if you are a Zamorakian, Zarosians will do this to you... is that right?” "He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."

“That would appear to be the message,” replied the paladin captain.

“Hm, I see,” said the clown, “Well then, sign me up for some of that six star treatment!!! I'm one of Zamorak's biggest fans! See?” At these words, the clown spun around rapidly, and upon stopping was wearing a red evening gown embroidered with golden symbols of Zamorak, a foam helmet in the shape of a Zamorakian symbol, and a foam hand upon which was written “Zamorak pwns!* *See?* questioned the clown, “I even have a Facebook group dedicated to him! And my clan's name is Zamorak is Aw3s0m3! Zaros is a Sm3lly D14p3r!

I believe I've proven myself as a true follower of Zamorak, now hit me!”

The clown waited for a few moments, and when nothing happened shouted, “Oh come on! Is this not Zamorakian enough for you?! Fine, how about this?!” At this, the clown tore off his clothing, revealing his pasty-white-but-covered-in-red-tattoos-in-the-shape-of-Zamorak's-symbol body to all of Ardougne, Immediately, a third of the gawking citizens ran for their lives, a third turned to stone, and the rest spontaneously combusted.

“There!” shouted the clown, “How's that, Zaros the smelly?” After another few moments of nothing happening, the clown groaned in exasperation.

“Alright,” he said, “But I still have my secret weapon, behold!” At this, the clown tore off his skin, revealing that every bone in his body had the symbol of Zamorak carved into it, and all his organs were in the shape of the same symbol.

“Not even you can deny that I am the l33t3st pwnistist follower of Zamorak!” exclaimed the clown, “So hurry over here with that six star treatment!”

“Who the fu-” Rue was interrupted as another arrow flitted past his head. Glaring at Kevin, he continued, “is that?”

“A good question my boy,” said the clown, standing right behind him.

Rue spun around and glared at the clown. “Well then,” he said, “Who are you?” "He appears in the Form of a Man with many Countenances; and he hath a Book in his right hand. His Office is to teach all Arts and Sciences unto any; and to declare the Secret Counsel of any one."
