Hippodo

The Eastern Lands have been mentioned multiple times by several npc's in RuneScape, and even by Reldo in the Postbag. Ak-Haranu on the docks of Port Phasmatys talks about it as his home, and the cyclopes from the Warrior's Guild are said to have been brought from that area by Harrallak Menarous. San Fan too, found at the Trouble Brewing minigame, comes from the lands to the East, according to her examine. Furthermore, the Mysterious Old Man acquired his mysterious box there, as the people of the Eastern Lands are known as master toymakers and craftsmen.

Nice, I hope a lot of Mining will be involved in this storyline, just to hear those thousands of people whine who've been ignoring Mining for years :thumbsup:!

sacrifice the baby mahjarrat? :ohnoes: I think the baby would be too weak for them to harvest any worthwile amount of power.

[hide=] Who said Zamorak was ever human? various rs history articles??? Zamorak was NEVER human. He was a Mahjarrat who came to Gielinor along with all the other Mahjarrats fromp Frenneskae. I thought he was a human commander of Zaros' army, I think one of the ghosts of the shade robes miniquest tells this. The human commander is someone else who fought alongside Zamorak. But I can't remember if it was one of the people who directly went to fight Zaros, or just helped in the war or something. The last ghost in the Ghostly Robes miniquest was actually the only human in Zamoraks personal guard, back in Zaros' days. [/hide] Just to clear everything up: * Zamorak once was a Mahjarrat, and is now a God * Zamorak is not and has never been human * The single human found in Zamorak's honour guard is Viggora, the last ghost in the Ghostly Robes miniquest * Viggora fought alongside Zamorak during his battle with Zaros Besides that, I've just done the quest and think it's really cool. The possibility that Kharshai may be Koschei the Deathless is interesting, and I agree with the people who suspect Ali the Wise is really Wahisietel. I too noticed how slumped he stands, and even the Knowledge Base states he's a curious fellow. Oh, and Mahjarrat can reproduce just like other mortals. Zemouregal himself wrote that he asked Enakhra to mate with him, but she rejected. Getting kids is easy, the hard part is living forever by sacrificing others.

The three houses in the 'night' pictures look a bit different if you compare them to the first one. As someone before me said, there sits a crow on the roof, the straw looks a lot more shabby, and some sort of fence has appeared on top. Also, some kind of climbing plant is creeping up a support, not visible in the first pic, and the white walls of the second floor appear older. By the way, I walked past the house in Lumby, and it seems this pic shows an updated version, with crooked walls instead of straight ones.

Just a random level. [hide=][/hide] It surprises me every time how I can keep mining for days without getting bored at all. Must be a genetic disorder :lol:.

Those were thumbnails of possible concepts for the agile armor which has already been released. I doubt it. No one said the boat hinted towards Eastern Lands, Napalm_Death thought the 'Asian looking armour' did. But I agree it looks almost identical to Agile armour, so it won't be a future update. And on the boat being Eastern Lands - where did this come from? We see an updated building for what seems to be the fishing guild and all of a sudden we've got "OMG BOAT - HINT AT EASTRN LANDS PLZ??". It's a freaking boat, there's plenty of them across RuneScape. I never said the boat having anything to do with the Eastern Lands... And where did you take that info that those armours were concepts for the agile armour? Do you even know what the Agile top and bottom look like? They both have knee pads just like these do and the tops look exactly the same except without the little green thing in the middle of the chest. It's the agile top and bottom. Case closed, end of story. not to be an uniformed nub -.- but wtf are agil top and bottoms >.< rouge stuff? < i have feeling thats not wht u think [/hide] @jcube No, agile armor. It came with the release of the Extended Agility Courses. @Napalm Death I never said you did. It was a reply to other statements of people saying the boat may mean Eastern Lands/Kudos Island. No one said the boat hinted towards Eastern Lands. Napalm_Death only thought the 'Asian-looking armour' did. But I agree, it looks almost identical to the Agile armour, so it won't be in any future updates.

I always like these pictures from Jagex, they're really nice And now for the speculation! #1 Concept art for some new or existing town. Written at the top is something about a 'Goblins Cave', which makes me think it's at for the Fishing Guild. But it could just as well be for a new place, or Port Sarim, Piscatoris, etc.. #2 When I first saw it at Runehq, which got it a day earlier, I thought it could be updated Barrows Armour, But new armour from the new Slayer monster could be it too. It doesn't really look like Barrows anyway... #3 Bards, nothing to it. #4 This one I find quite interesting. Looking at the scenery, it could only be either Morytania, the Wilderness, or some new place. The latter could of course always be, but difficult to speculate about. If it's placed in existing lands I think it will come with a sequel to Rag and Bone Man. Ties in with number 5. #5 Some kind of reanimated monkey skeleton. It could be nothing more than an update to the Ape Atoll monkeys, but I have another theory. Looking at his paw, we see some kind of fuzzy handcuff. Now, if you've completed Rag and Bone Man, you can still read his wish list. It states he is searching for 'non-chafing manacles', which is roughly the same as confortable handcuff... right? So maybe the Odd Old Man is planning to combine all the bones you've fetched for him into some kind of monkey thing, and he's going to lock it up in the pen seen in image #4. #6 Quite obviously a few tests with evening and night. Very interesting, even if it's still far away.

Jagex's invisible surveillance hut? :ohnoes: I belive that is where the ghost music guy that you can restore run energy at is sitting. He's also a poet if I remember right. But that might be a totaly different location. The ghost musician is near that location, but that has nothing to do with it. I think it's just a square with a malfunctioning 'lighting'. I get it sometimes too, the square flashes between normal colour (as in disengaged lighting effects) and colour affected by lighting effects if you move the camera around.

Should have taken 'Hippodo'. EDIT: Didn't know Arnold was the brother of Mr T... Although now I know I do see kind of a resemblance.

Ow yeah, awesomeness . Going to work on a new signature soon too.

No, lol. Then again, these things were amusing for the first 5 minutes and then I threw them away, haha. Is there a term for this? You know, when you give a child a new toy and then he loses interest in it after a few days? It's not some toy you play with if you're bored, it's to use at TET events for example.

You teleported with the MA resource locator by selecting Herblore Secondaries 1, and you're wielding it so it doesn't show in your inventory ;).

[/hide] You won't be scorpion pit for much longer. And how about Official historian? Definitely something like that, although I don't know if Tipit will let me, as I'm not part of the Crew and therefore not officially official. I do hope so though :pray:. And to Cai: why so sad face? :(

I'd like a username change, I'm tired of those numbers behind my perfect name Luckily I have some kind of insurance: I already created the account "Hippodo", so no other would take it, and once this feature comes out, I hope I can change Hippodo into something else, and immediately whack the numbers off Hippodo 3113 :.

Ladycai has a new avatar I see? Nice : :thumbup: Btw anyone have a nice suggestion for the Custom Rank award? To unspam: EDIT: Woo Scorpion Pit! <=================

Yeah that'd be cool. But other than the vampire overlords and a few other ill intented creatures there's not alot to cure. Unlike the wilderness there no reference to it ever psychically changing, it's always been swampy. Mort Myre used to be a forest instead of a swamp. Where does it say that? There references of it as a swamp as far back as the god wars and I don;t think I've seen any pre-godwars mentions of it. I've heard references that imply the Haunted Wood was a nice forest once, but nothing about Mort Myre not being, Myre/Swamp It was in a tome from the Darkness of Hallowvale quest. Hallowvale used to be a woody place with an Icyene queen in what is now Castle Draken. When the vampyres arrived, the land became corrupted. It is also implied that the fate of Misthalin will be the same of Morytania (Hallowvale) if the vampyre overlords and their minions breach Paterdomus. In one quest, two werewolves escaped Morytania and attacked you. [/hide] Hallowvale is not mort myre though. Hippo mentioned Mort Myre referred to as being a forest and he tends to be epically good at his history of rs, though I am pretty good too so we do sometimes prove the other slightly wrong. I think using your reference to Hallowvale you're thinking of Morytanina in general, this is very specific to Mort Myre. Equally the Haunted wood ajoins to Hallowvale whihc suggest tht it is the forest tht tome refers to. Plus I forgot to mention before swamp and corrupt don;t go hand in hand, after all lumbridge swamp isn't corrupt. You have a point Paw Claw. I've been searching through the tomes Serephurus was talking about, and found this: This at least confirms Morytania used to be a whole lot healthier. It still doesn't say anything about Mort Myre existing back then, I agree. But I distinctly remember reading a piece of text about Mort Myre once being a lush forest, and that it was corrupted to a dirty swamp. Something to do with Drakan temporarily raising the sea to flood the land. And I know it doesn't count for much, but the RuneScape Wiki agrees with me :mrgreen:. To summarize it, I can't find much about it in any book or tome regarding Morytania I remember. Maybe later today or tomorrow I will reread the dialogue of every Myreque Quest, and see if they mention it there. I should be able to find them on YouTube. EDIT: It could also be in a letter from the Postbag...

What do you mean? I don't think old wilderness went past the shores,and other parts of gelinor would be parts of zaros's former empire. Off topic kinda but I believe zaros's empire stretched on further than we may think,I remember seeing a zarosian grave in ape atoll of all places. :o :ohnoes: That's just a fault of Jagex, unless (and this is very unlikely) a group of Zarosians made it all the way to Ape Atoll and buried someone, or those monkeys are Zarosian. Which isn't true, as they worship Marimbo.

Yeah that'd be cool. But other than the vampire overlords and a few other ill intented creatures there's not alot to cure. Unlike the wilderness there no reference to it ever psychically changing, it's always been swampy. Mort Myre used to be a forest instead of a swamp.

I think those trees with three or four leaves on 'em have been there the whole time, but it's a neat idea though. I've always liked the idea of 'curing' Morytania from its evils, and see it returning to its former glory.

Maybe I can finally change that 'unofficial' into 'official Tipit historian'

This. Apart from English not being my mother tongue, I'm not really into IT or hardcore computer stuff, so it's all a bit abracadabra for me. Ah well, it sounded like an improvement, so I'm happy :.

Maybe its an improved barrelchest that's coming with a new pirate storyline quest. Wrong Wrong I believe that's a Water Troll, saw it at a Java meeting or something, it was in one of the RS animation videos. Right Just wanted to know if it was known, before I start posting links and stuff. It is indeed a Water Troll, seen at a Java convention where Mark Gerhard was interviewed. Interview can be seen here: http://channelsun.sun.com/video/chapter+1+-+james+gosling's+toy+show/25466436001

Just posting before I start a whole investigation. Has this image already been discovered, or am I the first?
