I just did the updated version of the Rune Memories quest.

I have to say... both Rune Mysteries and Rune Memories were pretty awesome, lore-wise.

The new ones were much better than the older ones, which were essentially fetch quests. Even if they did retcon some things.

Edit: I say new... the change was made years ago. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Lorewise, I think it's fairly irrelevant for the majority of the playerbase. In a nutshell, it was just another case of Saradominist bigotry creating enemy mines where they didn't have to - and the implications of the reworked quests have yet to see the light of day. Now bring back Zaros.

Lore may not have been relevant in the grand scheme of things, but I found it interesting nonetheless. They expanded the tower's backstory, and I loved hearing about the Four Orders. The old Wizard's tower was basically Hogwarts - why couldn't the new one be that awesome?

Yeah, I facepalmed when the Saradominists walked away. But I'd like to point out that the other factions were just as bad. Sure, the Saradominist leader walking away in moral outrage may have been the stupid at the time, but at least she didn't steal another apprentice's work and try to pass it off as her own (what the Guthixian did), or refuse to help her apprentice gain the credit he deserves for a life changing discovery just because it wasn't shown to her first (what the Zamorakian did.)

Both the Guthixian and Zamorakian Master Wizards indirectly contributed, even if the Saradominists were ultimately responsible. The Grey Wizards were really the only sane ones there, and I'm glad I got thrown in with them.

Okay, honest question here: do you like Zaros or not? I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic when you say that. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Of course I like Lord-Messiah Sueros. He's literally the only character who can make definitive decisions to defeat the elder gods and save the world, whether we like it or not.
