* I hated that at the end of 'The Chosen Commander' quest, [[spoiler: Juna and Zanik's friendship goes down the drain.]] You'd think that Juna would put friendship before a destiny that would result in thousands of needless deaths.

*** But if you think about it, there's no way Guthix would want Bandos to win. Bandos was planning to do the same thing to Gielinor as he did to [[spoiler:Yu'biusk. Basically, destroy all nature.]] Since Guthix is also a god of nature, how could he want that?
*** I'd have to agree with the above, but for some other reasons (of course!). Bandos literally stated that he would [[spoiler:bring the God Wars back and cover Geilnor in the glory of war.]] But last I checked, Guthix literally stated that [[spoiler:the next time a God Wars erupted across the land, he'd press the magic reset button and destroy the universe.]] Juna either has been locked away from the outside world longer than we thought, or she really is just a big jerk.

** It's never stated what exactly makes the Illujanka infertile, but given how Zaros created the Nihil by "weaving the life essences of other creatures" as a way of testing things out, it's possible that the cause is due to some sort of damage to the very Anima that makes up their souls, and Zaros would probably need the powers of an Elder God to make serious modifications to that.

*** It's also stated that Blisterwood trees, the primary weakness of the Vyrewatch/Vyrelords, were once very common throughout Morytania. It wasn't until Drakan rose to power long after the God Wars that they were reduced to just the one enchanted, unkillable tree found during The Branches of Darkmeyer.

** An even weirder one is "Back to the Freezer". When you talk to Gordon in the past you explicitly say that you're from the 6th age and have traveled back in time to the 5th age. The problem is that given the timeline for the quest this would require that the events of "The World Wakes" to happen during the middle of the quest (while you are back in time) which seems odd. Honestly the quest makes a lot more sense if you assume you're going back in time by a week at most.

* Sliske invited Brassica Prime to his Grand Ascendancy. Examining the empty seats shows there's one with Marimbo's sigil, too. Considering his goal at the time was to re-ignite the God Wars, what would he want with two insignificant and mostly-peaceful OddJobGods? [[EpilepticTrees Are they more important than we know]], or [[CloudCuckooLander did he just think it would be funny]]?
* Camels are the favorite animal of Akthanakos the Mahjarrat, who wears a camel's face, speaks to camels, and once pretended to be a god of camels. Camel Mages, ''semi-humanoid camels with powerful magical abilities'', were added to the game in November 2015... [[BestialityIsDepraved Implications... awkward]].

*** I would assume that Gods directly entering and interacting with the realm would break the Eddicts, however Bandos was smart enough to leave an amulet imbued with part of his power within Yu'Biusk in advance, so he could control the chosen one, who would most likely round up the goblins to conquer the world...or at least do a few hundred casualties.

* One for ''Chronicle: Legends of Runescape'': how the heck is Hope Devourer an Ozan-exclusive enemy? He never went nearly that far in Daemonheim, and the only adventure he had in Daemonheim, he shared with Ariane (and Sir Owen, assuming Jagex will eventually add him to Chronicle). There's really no reason for that. Unless there's a saga yet to be told...

** Ocellus Virius began his experiments and created the Order of Ascension LONG before "The World Wakes", because he did not have any other purpose established for him as a Guardian when Guthix entered hibernation. One of the last entries in his diary is his finding out about Guthix's awakening and death, and he's shocked that the other Guardians thought him too untrustworthy to involve.

*What the actual, correct timeline for when each quest and major lore event of the latter "5th age", the period of the game from day 1 the game existed to be played canonically, and the entire "6th age", which the player directly caused to start. For example, the player's involvement in The World Wakes directly causes the shift between the 5th and 6th age; however, the Order of Ascension update reveals former followers of Guthix have been experimenting on GENERATIONS of humans to achieve their goal, a goal only picked up after the start of the 6th age. This throws the character's relative canonical age into question.

* Why, oh why, has the Elemental Workshop series not been retooled as Signature Hero Linza's spotlight quests? Exploring an abandoned forge and rediscovering a forgotten metal and the methods of working it seems like it would be a perfect fit for her "ultimate blacksmith/artisan" role, and that workshop is so full of Runescape's typical Moon Logic puzzles that it could really use a helper NPC for advice anyway.
