Come my friends, come and hear the words of woe. A shadow is falling over Gielenor. A dark shadow. Deep in your inner self, you can feel them. The souls of the lost... Some say you even possess a magical artifact that allows you to see them. You see them walk, to the North.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An old adversary enlists the aide of the souls. They say that you have found a way to walk and talk with the Lost. It will be of use in these dark times. As you go about your business, you never know what the magic will show you. You have seen the Enemy's General, you have seen his followers. You have witnessed his birthing grounds, you have awakened his Children. You have taken Their Blade.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the Darkness of Woe, you have met Them. The Children fear you not, that is your advantage. But They are powerful. You have seen Them flee from one another. Fleeing...to the North.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My brave adventurer, the Planets are soon to align. The Armies are gathering in the North. The land of half light and ice. The last time the Dark Ritual was performed, Elves ruled all of the land. Now see what remains of that great civilization! But this time, a new group will be attending the Ritual. Will they assist, or will they further inflame the wrath of the Dark Lord?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My friend, we are coming upon a dark time in the history of Geilenor. With the armies of Order and the undead army of Chaos vying over the Lum, and the followers of Darkness and Chaos gathering in the North, are we heading to a new Age? A Second God War?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Barihawk: This is discussion on the dark update discussed briefly in the Behind the Scenes. Some may find that phase one of this very frightening update has occurred this week.

I dont get it is this something to do with the new shadow sword (which i think is oh so cool). The picture isnt workign for me maybe that would help.

suuuuuuuuuuuuuumoooooniiiiiing! \

Since its talking about evil. I think Jagex will release something very happy and bright just to get a kick out of people. Fuzzy pink bunny pets ftw ?

Looks like Lord of the Rings. OMG! :thumbsup:

KEWL :P what phase one came out this week i dont pay attention to much lol is it the ghost sword?

Bari, the picture is what really got me interested. =D> Dunno who pixeled that, but it's hawt. Awesome write-up, though! I'm loving it. I certainly hope they release something dark and evil.

I'm going to get that sword ASAP. I wish I could see the picture. Where did that quote come from? I agree with Dalcyte, Summoning ftw! Pink bunnies are cool too though.

I can see the picture, but I admittedly hotlinked it. That might be causing the trouble.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the quote was written by me, of course! I can almost guarantee that the Dark Update will be the Second God War judging by dialogs in certain quests and minigames.

I bet jagex is just gunna release an update thats says

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"SUMMONING"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In big capital letters. The only explanation will be it saying "It's finaly here!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then you click inside, and It says "Cabbages! You can finaly summon cabages!!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And people will think the summoning skill is here, when it's actually just summoning cabbages.

Pretty sure the Dark Update will have nothing to do with summoning. Well...at least not player summoning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A certain 5-letter deity we have all been freaking out over might just be summoned back into our dimension.

and we get to kick his wagon? hawt :) ...He will most likely be level 50 or something :lol: . Unless he is the lvl 1000 monster ive waited so long for.

suuuuuuuuuuuuuumoooooniiiiiing! \

 

 

 

:thumbsup: agreed :thumbsup:

Zaros vs Zaros magic user... epic...

Zaros vs Zaros magic user... epic...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Epic points to whoever takes him out with help from Lunar Magic, considering that is Armadyl's magic. And Armadyl is of course the Goddess of Good, countering Zaros being the God of Evil. Just like Saradomin is the God of Order and Zamorak the God of Chaos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ooh, maybe even use the Staff of Armadyl.

Lmao, i can see them doing that :lol:

The beginning bit sounds a lot like that new hidden miniquest (there another post on this board)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Come my friends, come and hear the words of woe. A shadow is falling over Gielenor. A dark shadow. Deep in your inner self, you can feel them. Change of music? The souls of the lost... Some say you even possess a magical artifact that allows you to see them. Ring of visibility? You see them walk, to the North.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An old adversary enlists the aide of the souls. General Kazhard? They say that you have found a way to walk and talk with the Lost. Ghostspeak amulet? It will be of use in these dark times. As you go about your business, you never know what the magic will show you. You have seen the Enemy's General, Kazhard? you have seen his followers. You have witnessed his birthing grounds, you have awakened his Children. You have taken Their Blade. New sword?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interesting...

personally i think it will be summoning. they need something huge to work up to it though, and i hope it involves some huge new quest. :pray:

the enemy's general might possibly be iban seing as you might follow the quest path of helping zaros.

 

Zaros vs Zaros magic user... epic...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Epic points to whoever takes him out with help from Lunar Magic, considering that is Armadyl's magic. And Armadyl is of course the Goddess of Good, countering Zaros being the God of Evil. Just like Saradomin is the God of Order and Zamorak the God of Chaos.

Can anyone confirm this? I don't remember this at all from Lunar. If it is, I'd be honored to use Lunar... but atm it's really useless aside from farming. Let's throw plant pots and weeds at each other to deal 120309 damage... ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only effective way of doing damage with Lunar is Vengeance, which is annoying to use. And that's a level 90+ skill. Mage is either gonna get really popular, or it's not going to be done with Lunar..

Iban is a Zamorak follower, and as far as I'm concerned Zaros and Zamorak hate each other.

zaros is overrated

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

besides Zammorack killed Zaros so \

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

VIVA LA ZAMMORACK

I nearly wet myself reading that. :o

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sounds spooky.

oi, pic dont work, other than that, it was a nice read

This is seeming to be a very amazing update.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I was getting my Shadow Sword, one of the scouts said something about him getting to slaughter again, or something about bloodshed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully this will turn into some huge war sort of thing, I really hope that we can get the sweet armor the scouts are wearing, or the cape of General Khazard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It would be even more amazing if we got to choose sides in some sort of a new update, and have completely different experiences if you choose to join the possible war, i.e. mage, ranger, meleer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If this leads to some new awesome update, Jagex will have done something amazing for once.

Hopefully its a new master quest. These new quests fail in catching my attention.
