I don’t purchase it, and I buy it even less Tumeken
The something that’s been indirectly talked about is suspected by me, and is the artifact from the RuneScape gold desert and that used to generate the pantheon. We never hear any other gods having the ability to only bestow godhood on people to make them lesser gods, the nearest was Guthix who had been super powerful (BECAUSE of the many elder artifact interactions) and forced us a type of anti-god, along with most existing gods that we all know got that way by ascending either by killing an existing god or using an elder artifact.
You’re telling me one day this arbitrary god Tumeken who’s potent enough to make lesser gods at will just started investigating the desert, found a monkey and said”you are a god now”? I don’t purchase it, and I buy it even less Tumeken could be so powerful and yet his presence be unrelated to the occurrence of the elder god artifact within his domain name. Why could Jagex even aim to get an elder god artifact from the desert if it wasn’t/has played some type of role in the world.
The story of this desert pantheon sound precisely what I would believe something called the template would do. He discovered beings like a fighter or crocodile and used them as literal templates, through the”Template”, to create gods. That is the reason why the production tales are so inconsistent because not one of them knew the creation worked, they only know the foundation ingredient and the manufacturer only made up the rest of the details themselves. There is just a lot the world’s history.
Like clearly something is really here by contradicting histories, and while a part of it I think is to mimic the mysteries brought about. I can not help but believe a larger truth is hidden amongst those contradictions and oddities. Is the core of gielinor (or some thing there) maybe not a viable competitor for the template? In the desert supply consumed in order to enact the revision that was great. The god created telos. There’s just so much material in the desert although I hate it to be authentic as it feels as though it has been too long since it’s release.
The god artifacts exist to create planes and were eventually largely phased out, the Heart of Gielinor does not seem to match that whatsoever. Given it is nature it seems to just be a huge quantity of anima so that I would sooner suspect that this is the”main course” if you will. The yummy anima that is the yok of the planet which will be feasted upon by the older god’s children. However I really could believe so as to create its guardian Telos, they used the template.
It seems the desert includes a LOT of things BUT Tumeken who are god-like items based on existing things or religions. Puppies, Scarabs and Scabaras, Crocodiles and Crondis, Het and Monkeys, Apmeken and people, and as you pointed out the heart and Telos along with the river, Amascut and cats, Icythlarin and elidnis is another one. Heck even Amascut proceeded and somehow generated 3 corruptive spirits employing the sight, voice, and OSRS Gold For Sale hearing Apmeken.
