After playing this game for almost 20 years, words can’t describe how much lorehounds like me have always wanted content like this. It’s amazing to see a concise timeline that helps fill in the gaps of this incredibly complex story. THANK YOU for your time and effort on a project like this.
@@CharlieScape I wanted to say too, it was a really great feeling having all these old moments of nostalgia triggered. There was at least 20 different parts of the video where I was like “oh wow I remember that!” & it was nice having all these old childhood memories triggered and remembered in a way that made a lot more sense. Can’t wait to see future videos related to lore and backstories. 😁
I was just talking with a friend about how I wish someone would combine the entire history of runescape lore into a single video/series. Then yesterday I stumbled upon this and the previous video. I cannot tell you how much I've been wanting something like this for years. Thank you so much!
Love these lore videos! Watched the prequel to this one a few days ago. Its helped me understand rs lore more, and i even got a rs book recently called "gift of guthix" it just came to my house yday :) on the back it talks about king radellin, so im excited to see what its about cus you talk about radellin in this video in the first 5 mins in or so. Keep up the awesome work!!
Great Video. One thing: You have the fall of Drakan before the events of the rest of the Myreque questline. Still, this is the most amazing summary I've ever seen. Thank you
@@CharlieScapeit does! We just lost the frostenhorn to sliske and the stone of jas was just stolen from another majahratt after WGS. It’s shaping up to be quite the story
Tyrus was no better than Lathas, he abandoned his people for decades trying to start another race war with the Elves and basically allowed Lord Ioworth to radicalize the dying population and almost single-handedly caused the rise of the dark lord by feeding them all that rancor and breaking the stalemate the clans had maintained since Baxtorian ran away like a coward.
Thank you for the full story! As an avid quest and lore enjoyer, I have always wanted to know what happened after rs3 came out. It was interesting listening and identifying where rs3 and osrs lore diverged.
@@CharlieScape I would love it, though it has been covered by other OSRS creators already more than the rs3 timeline. Admittedly, since OSRS develops storylines slower, a lot would be repeated if going by a timeline. I would watch it all again anyway, and I'm sure others would too! I'd guess the viewer base would be niche, but there's also an EXTREME lack of rs3 to OSRS lore/storyline comparisons. Definitely options if you do decide to explore this style on OSRS. :)
Listened to it a second time after talking to you on discord. Great job dude, really. As I was listening the only thing I could think of was, “man, not a single word about the gnomes.” A serious let down by jagex in the current time frame. So much untapped potential and story to be told there :/
Great lore videos! Only niggles are some pronunciations here and there like Seren (sometimes you say Seh-ren, sometimes you say serene) but other than that very well constructed lore videos, thanks for the effort you poured into these.
Am I wrong to assume you either coincidentally sound like "InDeepGeek" or you are heavily inspired in the way you tell the lore? It works very well on these kinds of videos :)
Great video but the zamorak bit is super off. We didn’t strip zamorak of his power nor did we defeat him. The entire concept of the boss battle is we are no where near Zamorak’s power, so we desperately must do what we can to survive and recast the edicts. We succeed in doing so but Zamorak is still as strong as ever and in the hard version of the fight he pulls you with him. We have to use the remaining edict runes to defend ourselves long enough to escape with the battle ending just before Zamorak can grab us. Your video makes it sound like we’re zamorak’s equal when we weren’t remotely close to it. Otherwise this is a great video and other than some I think missing connective tissue to make certain parts make sense you did a great job.
Apologies for the that, I appreciate your comment I really do. Constructive lore points are great for me to use moving forward. Thank you for your kind words, I'll try and be less cinematic in my words in the future. I guess I got carried away writing the script to be too epic :P Thank you, truly.
Well your cinematic words are what make it engaging, it’s more just gotta channel that cinematic nature a different directions. Make it sound like we escaped by the skin of our teeth can be as just as cinematic, after all the under dog and come from behind victory are cinema cornerstones. One thing that might help with the connective flow issue is have someone who doesn’t play RS, that you trust, to read your script. They might be able to spot stuff you might not because they lack a context. Example you mention Moia betrays us at Iaia, no details on what that betrayal was. But then about 5 seconds later you say our character was seeking to report to Moia…as someone who played extinction I have the missing bits. But to my roomie he was like “wait so you were betrayed by her but were also giving her a status update, is she like your boss or was it a test”. Maybe sometimes also less is more, when you consider how fast it happens and resolves the fact Moia betrayed us really wasn’t super relevant. The main purpose of that moment was to poison Adrasteia and Moia’s relationship as it launched into her doing a tear down of Adrasteia. Over the course of the quest they had been bonding but it’s this sobering reality check that turns that burgeoning friendship into an adversarial relationship and highlights Moia very much wants to see Adrasteia break. But I get this is too much to really shove in the video and honestly Moia and Adrasteia’s history could be their own video. At its core it’s really not about us at all or super relevant so that’s why I’d probably cut it.
Just want to point out that Bryll Thoksdottir should be pronounced as "Thok's daughter" like in the common icelandic last name "fathers name+dottir(for a girl) or fathers name+son(for a boy). Although I don't think it's mentioned in the game anywhere Thok should also be Thok Thokson Thok is her brother but her fathers name was also Thok. It's 2 different people, Thok and Thok. Thok is dead while her older brother Thok Thokson is still at Daemonheim.
So im thinking the whole Erebus thing is forshadowing GWD4. Zaros and Jas are there, so presumably we'll see 2 more get banished there sooner or later.
Kerapac is there too, so he could possibly have broken away from Jas and survived somehow, right? I’m also sure we haven’t seen the last of the Gods in RS3. Maybe Amascutt ends up there?
didnt zaros attack the monolith to leave geilinor as he was upset that he couldnt be an elder god? was him attacking the monolith like a last resort to get more power in erubus? i could have sworn i remember zaros saying he has nothing else in gielinor and left. or something like that?
You might be right Carlos, honestly I found so many conflicting points while looking for information on these main events. So even if it wasn't mentioned here, It doesn't mean you're wrong! I think points like that would be best found doing a story of Zaros himself maybe? If that is something people would like to see!
@@CharlieScape yea for sure...i love the lores....and you helped alot on missing pieces....i quit when eoc came out....and came back maybe 4 or 5 years ago....so alot of things i missed out on...like sara vs zammy in lumby....i didnt know we had more dukes etc....so i love it when you explained the lore....even last vid i saw it was amazing...questioned some part myself....as i am also a lore head but you did an amazing job
@@carlosmoran8925 Thats super kind of you to say and I'm glad you're enjoying them. I fully encourage you and everybody else to highlight any questions or queries about lore in here, if we combine our brains we'll get to cover much more accurate lore which is much more fun for everyone! Thank you for your insights and thank you again for watching
King Lathas took control of west ardougne. Me: okay, we are getting close to when the game's story starts. Then, right after, the adventurer defeats lord draken Me: wait wut
Regarding the Demon Slayer coverage, you're using outdated info. Grufeld Bach was renamed to Gideon Bede and is no longer a descendant of the wielder of Silverlight.
@@CharlieScape No problem! Doing a video with so many history nuggets is bound to have some details slipping through the cracks. It's already admirable that you compiled all of these in video form.
Varrock has been attacked a lot of times. Lucien lead one of the attacks which is where Nomad met Lucien and set on his path to become Lucien’s apprentice.
still wish they never changed King Arthur's lore to him being from Terragard, we know the Terragard humans have visited many worlds, why couldn't KA have been from our Earth, or another Earth in the multiverse?
Haha, you're totally right! I don't mean to make excuses but I'm dyslexic and sometimes I mess my words up. or pronounce them as I've heard others say it (Often when its still wrong)! My apologies for the mistakes in pronunciations. Thank you for watching!!
