Original message details are unavailable.
Varrock City Square

"Varrock's army grows weaker! Even after zombies stormed your walls from the outside and almost took the palace, he has done nothing to bolster recruitment. Such is the Corruption that Stagnation has wrought! And you're too blinded by Saradominist propaganda to see it!"

Is this accurate? IIRC, Misthalin is the strongest human kingdom, and Roald has been hiring tonnes of mercenaries to venture into Morytania and assist the Myreque. He doesn't use his own men because it would violate the Edicts or something... Ramsay Bolton is the king we deserve.

We actually haven't seen much of Morytania in the sixth age. The invasion of Varrock happens after the Vampire quest series (which we apparently completed even before becoming world guardian)

Angel says the thread takes place before River of Blood and Lord of Vampyrium Ramsay Bolton is the king we deserve.

"Varrock's army isn't what it used to be." - During either the River of Blood or Lord of Vampyrium quest. I can't remember which.

Also I don't know if Roald is paying them directly - it never says how much they are being paid. I was just under the impression that it was a call for adventurers and militia to rise up and deal with threats that would then drop loot which they could sell for a profit.

What we do know is that they could not repel Zemouregal's disorganized invasion of zombies without outside help, their armies are woefully under-equipped against Vyres, and both Asgarnia and Kandarin have stronger soldiers than them. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

It really irks me that they didn't get the Gods involved in the fall of the Vampyres.

Like, they could have had Drezel call on Saradomin to restore the Salve, only for Saradomin to reveal that he hadn't created the barrier at all, causing Drezel to lose faith. Saradomin promises aid, but it won't arrive fast enough, and he leaves with the promise to return. Then Zamorak show up and offers to help, recognizing that the Vyres were creating a corrupt and stagnant society that needed to be overthrown. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

EDIT: They held the Vampire quests in the sixth age SPECIFICALLY because every quest is now tied to the Dragonkin, a god, dungeoneering, or all of the above. I assume they wanted to avoid this, at least for this arc.


I have to agree, in a game where there is only one "present" you probably shouldn't have multiple continuities running at the same time. Though, when it was pitched, the sixth age was supposed to be another game world unlocked by completing The World Wakes, full of compelling player driven stories or world events that would change the world forever.

Where did those dreams of yesteryear run off too?

They realized that most of the high level players would run off to the Sixth Age worlds, leaving a scarce handful of low leveled players behind. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Asgarnia and Kandarin should be more powerful, but the RS Wiki says Misthalin is the strongest. There's no citation for that, though. I could see Misthalin being more powerful because it is more unified than either of its counterparts. Roald seems to have close relations with Horacio, and there is no reason to believe he doesn't have the support of Edgeville and Draynor.

In Asgarnia, the full force of the White Knights could only stalemate the Kinshra. In RotM, the Temple Knights Tiffy brought for back-up were defeated by a much smaller force of Khazard soldiers. Falador lacks the support of Burthorpe and possibly Taverly.

Kandarin is divided between two kings, one of whom has been crusading in Tirannwn and hasn't been around for a while
until we killed him.


Tyras's half of the city is ruined by a plague.
But it's not actually a plague.
Much of Lathas's kingdom is ruled by others, like the Gnomes, King Arthur, and Khazard. I'm pretty sure if Lathas called banners, he would only have the support of Ardougne and Yanille.

So I can see Misthalin having at least a numbers advantage. Ramsay Bolton is the king we deserve.
