God's Guide
One of the greatest mysteries of Runescape is that of the Gods, there are many and I am here to sort out fact from fiction. In order to understand the gods, and their place in this world, we will have to take a quick look at the history of Runescape.
A brief history of Runescape
The First Age
This is know as the age of creation, priest and theologians believe this is the time when the Three Gods, Guthix Zamorak and Saradomin, created Runescape, shaping it to their desires. Although this concept is widely agreed upon there is further evidence to suggest that Zamorak and Saradomin were not involved in creating the world. All that is known is that Guthix went into a deep slumber after he created the world.
The Second Age
In this age the gods interacted a lot more with mortals than they do now. During this time, some races rose to power, some which have not survived to today. The intelligent races rose to power, such as the humans.
The Third Age
War! The Gods, Zamroak and Saradomin were at war in these times, other minor deities allied with both. During this age much destruction took place, wiping out some of the weaker races, while other fled, such as the cave goblins of the dorgeshuun tribe. The wars ended when Guthix woke from slumber, halting both armies, and they stopped for they could feel that Guthix was the power of nature itself. Guthix made the Gods sign a treaty, saying that they would stop the wars, and only continue to hold influence over the land through their supporters and followers. This treaty remains today, and if broken it is said that Guthix will purge the land, and recreate Runescape and its life.
The Fourth Age
In this age Mortals rose to power once more, with the races that have survived starting to build permanent settlements, and warring with each other. Now race had stronger power until humans in the north-west discovered the power of runic magics.
With the power of magic, human settlements grew into cities, and places such as Varrock and Falador being established. The cities which would have been incapable of controlling a region now grasped the land and easily maintained control with magic.
This was also the time of the great heroes Robert the Strong and Arrav.
The Fifth Age
This is the time when humans thrived, the great cities flourished and kingdoms grew. Disaster struck in this time however, Zamorakian mages burnt down the Wizards tower, destroying with it the vast knowledge of the ability to make runes. Without these the kingdoms are in jeopardy. They stopped increasing their lands for fear their rune supply would run out.
It is currently the year 169 in the fifth age.

Guthix is neither male nor female, and is of no race that Runescape knows. Guthix does what needs to be done to balance out chaos and order, respectively the actions of Zamorak and Saradomin. It is seen as neither good nor evil.
Guthix came to Runescape and found a bare world. It chose to shape it to his liking. After this it went into a deep slumber. Guthix woke from this slumber to find the world on the brink of destruction; the land was blackened and pitched from the battles. It halted both armies and they stopped, for they could not match the power of Guthix. It made both Saradmoin and Zamorak leave Runescape, and has them sign a treaty to say that they will only remain to hold power over the lands by their followers and supporters. The strange thing about Guthix is that he does not need followers to continue to have a presence in Runescape, which is why he does not demand it like the others Gods, it seems to draw it's strength from the plane itself.Statistics: Posted by Potatohead_1 — October 7th, 2006, 2:15 am
