Saradomin, what do we actually know?

[Danqazmlp]

You see countless threads, ingame content and lores on zamorak, zaroz and even guthix quite recently. But throughout my playing i've never come across anything explaining the roots of Saradomin. Personally my fave god, the good god in the truest sense, but how did he become a god?

 

 

 

In a cutscene of the newest quest 'While guthix sleeps', there was a small cutscene when touching the stone of jas that might explain some. It depicted a small chubby man, touching the stone, then suddenly he was quite tall, beardless and a saradomin symbol on his chest. This may sound like nothing, but all through the quest the stone was also reffered to as the 'Eye of Saradomin'. Maybe this was the birth of saradomin we saw? The moment he became a god? Was he a guthix follower before he touched the stone, as he had access to the huge complex built by the druids?

 

 

 

So does anybody who's read the rs lores know the origins of Saradomin, or is it still unknown? What do you think the origins are?

[Emmentail]

I think that guy was just the original discoverer of the Stone..

 

 

 

From what i've gathered Saradomin used the Stone of Jas / Eye of Saradomin in the God Wars to boost his power in an attempt to destroy Zamorak.

[Da_Latios]

I think that guy was just the original discoverer of the Stone..

 

Yes... Saradomin.

[Lt_Surge]

I think that guy was just the original discoverer of the Stone..

 

Yes... Saradomin.

 

I'm not sure... But this guy would've had to have been at least the second person to discover it, since Guthix was the first... Wasn't he?

[Aneron]

He was the primitive human mentioned in Moravio's notes; I can't remember his name but it started with V.

 

 

 

I suppose it's possible, if it originally belonged to guthix it must have acquired the name 'eye of saradomin' from somewhere

[basiliko]

Saradomin claimed that he alone had created the world, but it isnt entirely true (at least three other gods have helped, including Guthix, who had created the majority it). Saradomin also made a deal with Zamorak to overthrow Zaro during the Second Age (talk about not making deal with the devil).

 

 

 

Although Saradomin is generally a good god to most people, his followers sure aint as good as most people think. The Church of Saradomin is corrupt and the White Knight Order isnt goodies little boys, and they kills those who try to throw suspicion onto Saradomin's beliefs.

 

 

 

 

 

Sound like a certain real world religion I know...

[krugtheorc]

maybe saradomin isn't all that good

 

 

 

maybe saradomin isn't the god of good and law, but more of the preservation, protection, and rebellion

 

 

 

maybe he's more the champion against zaros, and later zamorak. The beam of light in the darkness that was so symbolic, so famous, that he became less of a mortal and more of an ideal, a legend that grew to unursupable knowledge.

 

 

 

Of course, you do not have to be a god to become a legend.

 

 

 

Maybe he, with his valor and charisma and power, simply died out as a normal mortal, his ideals continuing after death.

 

 

 

Maybe he was a king, and his lineage kept his name and power until they all died out.

 

 

 

Maybe saradomin is not a god, but a myth; a story of a champion to right wrongs, a sage of morals, and a leader of broken soldiers to unursopable heights.

 

 

 

Maybe i'm just talking for the sake of talking.

[Da_Latios]

Yes... Saradomin.

 

I'm not sure... But this guy would've had to have been at least the second person to discover it, since Guthix was the first... Wasn't he?

 

Yes, for all we know.

Jagex's subliminal message right there

[Dire_Wolf]

Saradomin can jump off a bridge for all i care, he won't be missed. Hell there's more items and history about Saradomin than Zaros yet i like Zaros 100 times more...

[Dreggstar]

Saradomin is the god of order, not good.

 

 

 

Zaros FTW. :)

 

 

 

But yeah, there isn't really much about him I can remember from quests/lore. I think he might be that guy in the cut scene.

Armadyl is the god of law and order.

[hipyhop00]

Saradomin is the god of good

 

But good isnt nice and zamorak told noobs about what saradomin had done(eg whiping out the zaros) and turned the people against him. saradomin stopped communicating with the people because to do whats right you have to have rules to protect people. Its against the law to ride a bike without a helmet and a parent letting their child ride without a helmet because it "looks stupid" isnt nice of them, its completely stupid and endangering their lives.

 

 

 

Osama bin ladin is the worlds no.1 wanted man for killing 5000 americans which is a absolutly horrible thing. yet america with a single bomb killed 140,000 japanese im guessing mostly civilians in under a second. yet america is the "just and fair" country.

 

 

 

you cant jude someone based on what they may of may not of done on that basis alone. since the trade restrictions i havent seen a single n00b saying they got hacked

 

 

 

what would you rather. thinking god created the world or charles darwins proscess of natural selection.

 

Blacks were seen as an inferior race and they were taken as slaves by white men. And dont forget that the jews were considered inferior by the nazis and we all know how that turned out.

I understood most of your points but I can't see how these two things are relevant?

[Mercifull]

Well done for invoking Godwins law on the first page.

[Hajutze]

saradomin isnt the fkin god of good ...

[Da_Latios]

saradomin isnt the fkin god of good ...

 

Okay, technically he's the god of purity. SAME THING!

[Aneron]

Zaros FTW. :)

Wasn't Zaros a god of infinite evil lol.

Zaros is the empty lord, or the god of evil. Zamorak is the god of chaos.

[Sy_Accursed]

There's no speculation over Saradomin because we simply do not know anything about him.

 

 

 

We know lots of guthix bringing people to the world, being powerful compared to other gods, creating magic from the stone of jas etc.

 

 

 

We know lots of Zamorak and Zaros because theres a whole story around that.

 

 

 

But Saradomin we have nothing told to us about so far.

 

 

 

That cutscene is most definately the person whos name starts with V mentioned in both the ntoes and books on lunar isle. He stumbled upon the stone of Jas and touched it and learned magic but when he returned the stone had been removed by the gods. You can clearly see this in that the stone in the cutscene is clearly in a pillar of rock and not in the temple.

What the [bleep] are you on about? Learn to english please.

 

 

 

Or at least stick on topic and not rant about past wars ;_;.

Wtf is he talking about?

 

 

 

Have I missed the point or did he go from Runescape to real life issues within his first paragraph :?

[SwreeTak]

Saradomin is my favourite god. He's the good guy and he is wise. He tries to defeat evil and do what is right. Of the gods in RS, I'm the most alike him, and that's probably why I follow him. I don't know much more about him than what I have said here, but I don't really care either. He's the coolest god in my opinion. And for me, that is enough. But of course it would be interesting to get to know more about him. A quest where you got to know more about him would be awesome. If we also would have to solove a puzzle or two and use the properties of a real saradomin follower, then that quest would become my favourite one, for sure.

 

Go Sara :D

Well, you might be dispirited to find out what others have said about Sara in History and Lore (check my summary at the first page). Saradomin did make pact with Zammy to overthrow Zaro and planned to double-cross him afterward, but Zammy soon found out about his plan and decided to double-cross first. How is that for the God of Goodness to eat up his deal?

 

 

 

Again, Saradomin claimed to have created the world of Runescape, but, as we all know, Guthix and other elder gods had created the world long before Sara even existed. How is that for the God of Goodness to claim credit that he did not deserve?

The Stone of Jas was on top of a pillar of stone in the temple as well.

 

 

 

I got the impression he did find it there. Does anyone have a screenshot?
