Asskicking Equals Authority has been renamed.


Luckily, they have a way to resolve that: a Kyzaj tournament. The Kyzaj is a two-handed melee weapon in the [[RuleOfSymbolism shape of Bandos's symbol]], and all contestants must wield one. Whoever is still standing at the end [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority will lead the Bandosians]]. By tradition, Zanik must participate, but she's not feeling well after Bandos's death. Therefore, it's up to you to step into the ring, officially as Zanik's trained attack animal.

In Bandosian society, Bandos is the top god. Everyone else follows his orders without question, no matter where they might lead. Everyone not part of the system is an enemy. It's all well and good- for the Bandosians at least- except for one little problem: Bandos is dead. Armadyl ganked him during ''The Bird and the Beast''. Smashed his petrified head with his own mace and everything, and now the Bandosians have no ultimate leader.

Of course, it's not going to be that easy. A multitude of powerful opponents stand in your way, up to General Graardor himself. There's twists and turns that you're not going to expect until they happen. And just because the tournament results say something doesn't mean everyone's going to ''agree''...
