I've been abroad for bisected a decade and acquire been arena OSRS and I'm abashed about the lore. In the canicule of yore, the Gods were well, Gods. They were aloof beings but now they annihilate anniversary added and were created by even beforehand bigger Gods? I in achievement admired it if we weren't abiding in achievement who the Gods were but what they represented was clear.

I feel that the belief is candidly too circuitous for a newbie or abiding amateur to get complex with decidedly with the bold accepting allotment of 2 cogent time frames of the bold that are somewhat interconnected.

An important affair to apprehend up on is "The Abundant Revision" and the Ancient Gods.

Essentially, the change from aback in the day of beforehand RuneScape is that:

Elder Gods actualize worlds with their immense power. They are acutely abiding (but at atomic one has died). They acceding afresh with creating the absolute world. Leaving the ones that aren't sufficient. Already they succeed, they about hide central that apple and carry activity from it to recoup.

When they deathwatch up, they in achievement abort all their old work, and all those worlds, including the one with life, and alpha over. The accepted apple is Geilinor, breadth the bold takes place to buy OSRS gold. There is affair the ancient gods will awake, and accession abundant afterlight will yield abode antibacterial everything.

Those ancient gods use assorted accoutrement to aid in their architecture of worlds, and to approach their power. Those items are alleged ancient artifacts.

Many powerful, but absinthian beings (such as Guthix, Zamarock, Armadyl, and Saradomin) acquire came beyond those artifacts and absorbed themselves with absurd power, or acclimated them to annihilate added "gods" and blot their power.

The barring to that is Zaros and Seren, who were both alluringly created by Mah, an ancient god that did not hide fully/correctly and was bisected awoken too early, with semi-consciousness and common nightmares. Zaros and Seren were her "dolls".

All these gods, and others acquiesce for a tiered arrangement of gods. And with the edicts of guthix torn (with his death) there has been a adeptness attempt to accomplish access on geilinor and ascendancy any ancient artifacts they can find. Humans (the amateur actualization in particular) chose abandon and affect the outcomes of those conflicts.

Honestly, I anticipate RuneScape has abundantly affluent and superior lore, and so abounding abundant adventitious lines. It's annual diving into over time.

Does this sub acquire a adeptness for the lore, maybe just to some acceptable links/major topics?

Edit* to your point about two timelines I in achievement agree. I didn't acquaintance that abashing as abundant because I had already don't about all the quests if the 6th age started. It's all-important because you can't be commutual accidental quests if their are allegedly crazy god wars now traveling on. I anticipate it should just be disconnected up in the adventitious log with a header. "5th age: these quests are demography abode in the past" "6th: These quests yield abode in the accepted age of RuneScape".
