And Sliske has vastly increased his undead arsenal as the war approached, taking soldiers from other factions and making deals with people in exchange for their souls. Even Nomad and the countless souls absorbed into him have been turned over to Sliske. He, as ever, has his own agenda of which only the World Guardian is aware. And soon they may come and tell your character of what he is planning...if you choose to allow them in the RP (that is your actual character in game).
Even Icthlarin is running himself ragged trying to shepherd as many souls as he can to their afterlives, and Amascut is having a feast in these times. Icthlarin's forces are fighting to save the souls of the deceased and stop anyone taking them for themselves such as Sliske and Xau-Tak, and Amascut has sent all manner of foul beasts to rend such souls and prepare a banquet in her glory.
The monkeys on Ape Atoll have also become victims to this dark era, and Marimbo has set her glass aside to protect them no matter what. The zombie monkeys are attacking the living ones after being taken by Xau-Tak's curse, and Marimbo is pulling out all the stops to save them. As such, the city is now more heavily guarded than usual, and even the monkeys themselves are being searched for black stones or sea slugs, or being checked for signs of the curse.
As for Xau-Tak, I don't know its true nature, but it is shown to have necrotic abilities and rends souls, as well as being associated with corpse oceans. But here in this RP I have made a few theories which I will go into now.
It isn't like any other god. It doesn't have any traits of an animal, like most gods such as Saradomin or Zamorak, nor of plants like Brassica Prime. Xau-Tak is in fact an ascended pathogen, starting off in a form far weaker than a mortal which can be killed easily if cut off early. But in this case, the disease has long spread, and now its power is tier 3, equal to Saradomin. And its main enemy is the World Guardian.
