Symbol

Zamorak is the god of chaos, personal ambition, and change, and one of the three major gods of RuneScape alongside Saradomin and Guthix. Originating from the hazardous plane of Freneskae, he climbed through the ranks of the Zarosian Empire to become its highest-ranking general, before ascending into godhood himself after usurping Zaros - a historic event that ended the Second Age and ushered in the God Wars. Throughout the Third Age, he and the other gods that remained battled over Gielinor, until Guthix woke from his slumber and banished the gods with the Edicts of Guthix.

His followers allegedly burnt the original Wizards' Tower to the ground, depriving the Saradominist mages of much Magic knowledge, in particular how to make runes.

History

Zamorak was once a mortal Mahjarrat. Icthlarin brought Zamorak and many other Mahjarrat to Gielinor, however they defected and joined Zaros, where Zamorak rose to the rank of general before deciding to rebel. While his close followers (including Hazeel, Drakan, Zemouregal, and Viggora) fought off Zaros' bodyguards, Zamorak stabbed Zaros with the Staff of Armadyl. In the struggle Zamorak was impaled with the other end of the staff, transfering some of Zaros' power to him. Zamorak grew more powerful while Zaros disappeared.

Zamorak's usurpation eventually led to the God Wars, where Zamorak and his followers for millenia clashed with other god factions. When Guthix awoke from his slumber he banished Zamorak and the other warring gods from Gielinor with the Edicts of Guthix, ending the war and the gods' influence on the world.
