In case it inspires any fun thoughts, I’ll share a little more of my own headcannon:
As part of my Epic of Ikov, I wrote about a time when Ikov visited a pocket dimension preserved by Guthix: a huge circular chamber with a great dome, mostly buried underground, along the wall of which stood 250 stone altars dedicated to Guthix, each built by one of the noble families of Gielinor’s dwarves in the 1st age. Although Guthix did not desire worship, he accepted the hall of altars as a gift from them and kept it as a secret place for himself.
Detail: The floor, the wall, and the dome were dark stone. A little light came through small open windows at the rim of the dome. The diameter of the chamber was about 150 meters, as was the height of the wall. About 10 meters from the wall stood a fence of stone archways, each archway rising to about 3 meters high. The fence divided the center of the chamber from its outer ring. The fence of archways opened before the entrance to the chamber and opposite this.
Along the wall, each altar was cut in a different shape and from a different sort of stone. Each was decorated with a different emblem, and with precious gems and metals. Against the wall far opposite the entrance to the chamber, barely visible from the entrance through the darkness, through the openings in the fence of arches, stood the largest altar - elevated two steps above the rest, cut from white stone, and adorned with a star made from eight, large, long, and slender sapphires.
Before the great altar, at the opening in the fence of arches, stood a tall stone pulpit on the left and a short stone table on the right. Whatever rites the dwarves performed at that table, at the pulpit, at the altars, and at the high altar were long forgotten, known then only to Guthix.
