diciples of zamorak

Zamorak is a fictional deity from the game RuneScape. Zamorak is the God of chaos, war, and death. He also burnt Wizard's tower. Zamorak was the second main participant in the God wars. Though he did not shape the world as Saradomin did, Zamorak had corrupted many parts of the would-be orderly world Saradomin envisioned with taints of evil, especially in human nature and such.

Zamorak was not always a god but was once mortal. To how he became a god was once a closely guarded secret. However, it can now been found out by talking to ghosts from the era. He used to be the head general of the great god Zaros and warred against the other deities who had risen against him (including Saradomin) until he and some of his close followes decided to rebel. Using the Staff of Armadyl Zamorak was able to stab Zaros in the back with it whilst his close followers (including Hazeel, Drakan, Zemouregal and others who can be found in the modern era) fought off Zaros's body guards. When Zaros had the staff imbedded in his back, his power was weakened enough so that he was now on an equal field with mortals and so Zamorak fought him. Even though Zamorak was the strongest mortal of all time and Zaros was in a weakened state, Zaros was still able to best Zamorak. However, when Zaros had him in his grasp and was ready to deliver the death blow, Zamorak kicked him, thus causing him to lose his footing and causing the Staff of Armadyl, previously only barely in his skin, to impale him and Zamorak. Due to this, some of Zaros's divinity was transferred to Zamorak and he became a god while Zaros was forced into another dimension.

The Zamorakian symbol is similar to "W", with the top of the left and right legs curled inwards. Zamorak is portrayed as a larger figure with a red tint in his face and horns resembling Satan and other demons of the Judeo-Christian religion. Though not as famous among humans, Zamorak holds many cults of them through RuneScape in addition to his ability to raise beings from the dead to add to his armies and most formidable his demons and dragons. Though not as common as altars to Saradomin, chaos altars are still a relatively common sight in the RuneScape world. There is a Chaos Temple north of Falador on the boarder of the wilderness. In this small temple, evil monks guard the sacred Wine of Zamorak which is used in the herblore skill. If you take the wine Zamorak himself will use the Flames of Zamorak spell on you with a little box of dialogue saying "STOP STEALING MY WINE! GAHHHH!" There is also a church dedicated to Zamorak in Varrock, despite it being a heavily Saradominist city. Zamorak's territory is mainly in the former battlefields of the God wars now known as the wilderness. It could be said that Zamorak controls the lands to the east of the river Salve as there is a much greater proportion of his followers here made up of werewolves and vampires. However this can be arguable as many Saradominists have managed to make settlements in Morytania (Port Phasmatys has grown so prosperous it manages to conduct heavy trade with the peoples of the east) However, these settlements often experience disasters due to Zamorak's intolerance. In the mage arena one can learn the spell 'Flames of Zamorak' which sets fire to the enemy. In castle wars when you enter the Zamorak portal while wearing Saradomin or Guthix items you will get a message from Zamorak. He expresses his disgust that you dare come to him wearing items of his lesser brothers and that such wrongdoing should be rewarded with time in the most mischievous of forms. You then spend the rest of the waiting period in the form of an imp. Zamorak rarely uses Olden English, unlike Guthix and Saradomin, but occasionally, one will see him refer to himself in a pretense. He also tends to be extremely sarcastic, as opposed to the other two gods.

Zamorak's main source of entertainment is death, even that of his own followers. Forgiveness is not a trait associated with this deity.
