Lore
Long ago, the god of Balance who had created Gielinor known as Guthix, was fatally wounded by an assassin of Zaros.
Guthix created protective wards to stop other gods from entering the realm, but due to his death, they were weakened. The gods of destruction, war and entropy ventured into the plain, seeking the end of mortality.
A new godwar was about to begin. Each god called forth their armies, destroying everything in their path. Mortals came closer to extinction with each city the armies conquered, and hope was diminishing.
But before his death, Guthix entrusted two adventurers with his power to assist the mortals and save Gielinor. Their names were Illerai and Eldrax. They joined the god war, evacuating cities, towns and villages before death was upon them.
They formed an army of mortals who rebelled against the onslaught. The Elves trained the Ogres, Gnomes and Humans. The Dwarves crafted armour and weapons, and the Fairies assisted with setting up protection magic against the evil they drew close.
Illerai and Eldrax led charge against the creatures that were patrolling areas of the once called homes, and won every battle. Word reached the divinity about the two Demi-gods. The gods then led the front line to defeat them.
But every god had come forth, and the new godwar had commenced. Visuals of mass destruction covered the land; many entities lay still as they drew their last breath. As the battle raged on, Illerai and Eldrax's army lessened. With the combined power of true gods, the mortals were no match, and nor were they.
Zamorak, the god of destruction, fought Eldrax and Illerai. During the battle, Zamorak offered alliance with Eldrax, noting his power could become more than what he already has. When Eldrax refused, Zamorak cast a curse on him.
The curse was suppose to brainwash Eldrax, but the power Guthix had granted infusion and changed him forever. Eldrax's skin turned into metal scales, his eyes beamed with fire and his back grew large wings with claws. Eldrax became the God of the Dragons, and with one piercing roar called forth hordes of dragons through the plains of the abyss. The battle became immense.
Corrupted, Eldrax turned onto Illerai and stunned Zamorak. As the god rose to his feet, he retreated, knowing Eldrax was too powerful for him to handle..
Illerai tried to reason with Eldrax, but it had been too late. The mind of Eldrax, was no more.
Illerai knew her mission, and fled from the battle. She knew fighting against Eldrax was pointless and dangerous, it would only lead to death. Illerai then created a portal, drew as many souls as she could from the mortals who had fallen and vanished..
The world of Gielinor, has died.
Illerai found a new world, and carried out the wishes of Guthix. She infused the souls into the land, produced elements of water, fire, wind and earth and sacrificed herself to bring peace to the new world she had created.
Spirits of Illerai now carry out her wish, assisting mortals and their journeys around the new world. Towns, cities and vast lands were created based on the memories of her previous life, and thus created the world of Illerai.
