Player's allignment to Zaros?

[Kilo]

Going by the number of quests about Zaros you can conclude that, but I don't think we're bound to being his freer. Juna leads me to believe that we will have a choice in the matter, and I think the character acts more on the side of good, than 'zaros' whatever he is.

Zaros could be the good guy in this story. :P

 

Sara is not exactly good.

 

Zammy is the God of Chaos not evil either.

[Seraphi]

Balance is power. Whatever happens, I shall remain loyal to Guthix. Plus, if Zaros is reborn, he's toast when Guthix wakes up and finds out...

 

I always considered that Zaros was basically an equal to guthix, Can't I support them both :?

I think Zaros=Guthix=Seren=supreme desert god. Powerwise anyway.

 

I dont think of it like that... Probably because Zaros was overthrown, and Seren hasnt really done much we are aware of, I see it:

 

 

 

Guthix>Zaros>Seren=Desert God

But Zaros had almost all of the mahjarrat turn against him, surely that counts for something. Then even after almost all the mahjarrat turned against him they still couldn't kill him. Now we know Saradomin=Zamorak

[Wkw]

if

 

sara = zammy

 

serene = desert god

 

all other gods we dont know about = all ohter gods we dont know about

 

then what does guthix equal?

 

 

 

BY LOGIC, zaros would be the best choice. All of the gods still exist, but just to watch, including guthix.

 

 

 

NOT ZAROS

 

 

 

By guthix's own logic, his presence creates unbalance

 

 

 

--

 

That, or guthix isn't present at all in this world, that would preserve balance

[wackoredhead]

I see it this way, our player happily skips around runescape helping people do lots and lots of things. We've gone so far as to see Mahjarrat like hazzeel (coulda helped) Lucien (coulda helped) ankothasa(sp?) azzandra(sp?) and a few more. Some are Zamorack "fans" some are Zaros, but either god is played up to be evil. Zamorack is more widely known as the "bad guy" Zaros also hasn't looked like a happy guy.

 

 

 

 

 

While Guthix Sleeps. That quest name never really mad sense, yea Guthix is taking a nap and while he's asleep Lucien went to be a (cabbage) and took the staff of Armadyl and Stone of Jas and became a tank. The widley belived to be the sequal was either a hint or "accedental" leak in to Quick chat, Mysteries of Mahjarrat. And as we were told in the muspah quest, they are gonna battle and sacrafice a Mahjarrat, again Zammy vs Zaros will probably be how it plays out. But, what side is lucien on? Lucien was amazingly strong in WGS and could only get stronger with the stone of Jas. He also has the Rejuvination of the mahjarrat to look forward to, so I can garentee, we saw Lucien at 1/2 maybe even 1/4 strength he will be after.

 

 

 

Imagine, stone of jas, staff of armadyl and rejuvination.

 

 

 

wow.

So i just had a realization. It came from the jagex tipit interveiw.

 

 

 

Question 15

 

How do Quest NPC's die such as Duradell, but we always respawn?

 

 

 

An interesting question. From a story point of view, it may be that the Gods smile upon the player. From making cakes in Cooks Assistant to defeating Tormented Demons in While Guthix Sleeps, our protagonist plays a big part in the affairs of Runescape. Perhaps some deity is protecting our player for some greater purpose as yet unknown. As for a gameplay point of view: Perma-death is not to be taken lightly. The time put into raising skill levels and acquiring items is so enormous that wiping the slate clean, youll be glad to hear, is just not an option.

The other person we know that this has happened to was Zannik, who was being used by Bandos and he would revive her upon death and whatnot. Maybe the person who wants us alive is Zaros. We have helped his followers out quite a bit. I would say it was Guthix but he is asleep right now... So, just some ideas.

[nameles]

Well i hope that zaros will return and guthix dies with his balances etc..

[Saunamajuri]

its quite funny how often mahjarrats make accidents:

 

Zamorak: tripped when trying to kill Zaros (thought, the reason he is god now)

 

Jhallan: Accidentally changed into muspah in his dream.

 

Maybe Lucien somehow accidentally manages to resurrect Zaros in the next quest?

This question bothered me too. But I do hope that we ARE infact Guthix in our soul. We are just not aware from it, he still sleeps in us. It would explain how we could respawn, how we are so good at using anima mundi AND doing 150+ quests who change the face of Gielinor forever in just 1 year.

 

At the end of WGS, there was something "unlocked" in us, the Armadylian leader said, so I actually think that we didn't absorb some power from the Stone of Jas, but just made a kind of lock break, which kept Guthix sleeping in our soul.

 

Also, the Balance Elemental spoke to us like we knew each other and finally, we are not bound to the laws of Guthix, it seems. Talk to Juna after WGS or TCC, she says she hates our actions, because we didn't act like the balance would like it, but however, she says the gods will not act now, because we still have a task to complete...

 

 

 

So, in short: I really hope we are Guthix, there is some "proof", but if it isn't true, it's always cool to search those little hints to speculate about the future of us and of Gielinor like we know it.

Then how does Sir Tiffy and Merlin know about "respawning"? They talk about it like it were common place

[HunterDexter]

I think that's just to make players life easier. :P

[Da_Latios]

The Temple Knights are protected by Saradomin, remember?

[Ravenkana]

The Temple Knights are protected by Saradomin, remember?

And the Knights of the Round Table must live until Britain's darkest day.

[Hippodo]

I see that two evenly powerful gods would create balance, but in my eyes having only one "supreme" god (Guthix) who works to preserve balance wouldn't cause imbalance :|.

But since he is more powerful then any other, his presence of preserving balance creates it!

[I_am_Geed]

Who knows

 

 

 

I think that the character is pro-Saradomin because when you examine a Saradomin statue it says

 

 

 

"What a good likeness!"

 

 

 

unless im taking that wrong.

 

 

 

but thats my 2 cents

[Wkw]

Where is this? Maybe an old area. I don't recall examines being what our player is thinking..

[Aeon_]

This isn't your player, but one of the digsite's sample cleaners says "It teleports you to Sanithrim." Or something similar. Maybe he's Zarosian?

[Golvellius]

I don't understand why people admire Zaros.

 

He was a weak or stupid god, because he was overthrown by his own follower.

 

Zamorak was greater than Zaros and I am sure that Zamorak would strike down Zaros again without hesitation if he appeared again in the world.

 

I think the Zaros storyline is dead other than to add a touch of depth and history to runescape.

Zamorak betrayed Zaros...hit him from behind, tripped and became a god..

 

To ME it sounds like Zamorak is the weak one, Jealous of Zaor's power or somthing

 

 

 

I like Zaros, cause theres not much know abut him, and his Magiks own! :thumbsup:

He was overthrown because Zamorak was a scaredy-cat who couldn't fight without 5 other people helping him do it.

 

And the Edicts of guthix don't include Zaros because he was supposedly dead then. But they restrain Zamorak since he was present when they were made. So he can't attack Zaros, apart from through his disciples.

Actually, I believe the Guthixian Eddicts forbade all Gods from directly interfering into the world. Whether they be from past, present, or future.

[Wkw]

Zamorak killed Zaros by chance. He wasn't sure he could do it, but he did ti by chance. He triped and fell.

 

 

 

That is like walking to a table with somebodys steak, tripping on a spoon, falling, and have the plate and steak land on the table unharmed, and you get a big tip.

 

 

 

ALL ON CHANCE
