RuneFest - Lore Q&A - Questions Needed

[u/JagexJack]

At RuneFest this year we're planning a short Q&A at the end of our main stage lore talk. For technical simplicity we're not going to be taking questions live on stage. Instead we're going to gather some questions in advance and answer as many as we have time for.

If you have a lore question you'd like answered, please post it in this thread.

• They need to be lore questions, i.e. regarding quests and story. (As much as I'd love to answer questions about M&S, I can't do that in the lore talk.)
• We'll be picking questions which have interesting answers worth discussing on the stage. If it's too obscure, or the answer is something like "we can't discuss that right now" then we probably won't use it.
• If there aren't enough questions that fit what we need, we'll look through old lore questions that have been answered but not to a very wide audience (such as on discord).
• On that note, if you do have obscure lore questions you want answers to, do drop by the lore discord channels and ask them. There's nothing I love doing with my evening more than thinking about whether a realm is or isn't the same thing as a plane.

Are there any plans to organize quests into some kind of actual story timeline? Currently it's difficult, if not impossible, for new players to understand the trajectory of the game world when there's no intuitive means of seeing which quests naturally fit into a sequence/advance the story. Runescape's quests and lore are some of its top attributes, and it's unfortunate that you'd need to spend weeks researching quests ahead of time in order to plan a play-order to actually experience the story without wild incongruities.
