Some of the planning on Adyna the Harlequin
Ancient Spellbook
Homecoming ApocalypseMany lives were spent during the war erasing Him from memory; desecrating His name and burning the remnants.
Stories from the time before Guthix speak of an Age of Darkness and that a matrix that was constructed to conceal the shadows; to imprison them and the filth that dwelt within. Though the matrix has remained sealed since, the feuding lords would not risk otherwise. And so efforts were made to conceal the matrix and prevent the empty rising. Keys scattered. Locks disguised. The shadows would forever be His prison.
But more than the likes of the light dwell within the unblinking darkness.
Each guardian within the quest is to be treated as a miniquest in itself, not merely a task within a quest. Storylines and such may be miniquest specific. Such as Malak, the creature you fight my not actually be the Guardian; combat isn't even necessary, as with Raunton.

Rambling;
- Spoiler:
- The miniquests as a whole make up six chapters; the conclusion to Desert Treasure, the four beacons, and an ultimatum.
In each of the four beacon chapters there will be a particularly difficult boss and a legendary item (and, possibly, a curse spell - but they may just all be unlocked at the end).
Thorg's Axe, melee weapon.
Robert's Strongbow, ranged weapon.
Dragonhead Gauntlets, multi-class weapon (lol, the guantless aren't armour).
So, do we have armour? Or a magic weapon? Magic does kinda have the whole spellbook... the only other thing left really is prayer, defence and summoning.
I mean, we could have several new familiars based on the enemies... sandworms ftw? So they're covered. We could make the beacons recharge prayer with a 50% boost (since they were originally an entrance to the gods' guild, we might as well still make them godly). All that's really left now is defence. But which class? Maybe Magic, since Melee and Ranged have god-armour for the old gods; "Ancient Robes", to match the Ancient Staff. That way, it's magic and defence! And I think the difficulty of this quest matches the difficulty to obtain Bandos' and Armadyl's... kinda.
The Dragonhead Guantlets is two-handed weapon. Their design is of two Dragonheads... only of dragons more similar to Draco from Dragonheart (the film; the shape is less slender/snake-like... and more bulky). These would be like huge caricature fists! The melee attack is obvious; the ranged attack has it spit ash; and the magic attack fires small bursts of dragonfire (basically a more yellow fire blast/wave).Requires level 70-90 in all classes, and is like the Salamander (only better).
Fog Robes (Magic and Defense, Fog Guardian)
Dragonhead Gauntlets (universal weapon, Ash Guardian)
Thorg's Axe (melee weapon, Lightning Guardian)
Robert's Strongbow (ranged weapon, Gust Guardian)
Spells... all of them (magic weapon, All Guardians)
Familiars, a few new ones. (summoning, Specific Guardians)
Prayer boost at beacons (prayer, Quest Completion)
Some of the planning on Adyna the Harlequin
- Spoiler:
- She could create a duplicate version of Brimhaven dungeon, only, magical. And instead of chase the ticket, chase Adyna.
Then a chamber of mirrors, only the reflections in the mirrors are somewhat alive. In that, if you try to walk through, ouch! Even if the reflection is of you! The reflections should also beckon you, like; "Here, come this way!"
The final fight would be direct, only, as well as any other attacks, she'll make use of the Illusory curse. She will only use it periodically, but it has a somewhat altered effect to that which players will be able to use. When Adyna uses Illusory, she stops attacking. All her duplicates will swarm you, like in usual multi-combat, including Adyna, all appearing to be attacking you... but you'll receive no damage. If coding must, you'll have loads of 0 splashes, else, it'd be invisible nothing (this is so it's still treated as combat). When you select one of the replicas, or the real, as a target, it will retaliate and do real damage. If you choose the real Adyna, all replicas disappear, if not, only that copy does. The spell wears off itself after about 30 seconds.
With the player version of the spell, the replicas are incapable of damage entirely. If you attack a clone, it vanishes, wasting the attack (since RuneScape uses a turn-based combat system). The user of the illusory spell can either peg it, or stay and fight. Now normally, the highest hitting target attracts the auto-retaliate feature; so you'd pick out the caster if he stayed. However, Illusory's fake attacks trick the system into thinking they are all hitting random high-damage (though
you'll lose no health). So your player would randomly shift around attacking random ones, never the caster.
Ancient Spellbook
- Spoiler:
You may only have two of the four chapters open at any one time. When
you pray at ones respective altar, you will be given the choice as to
which you wish to replace. The teleports and curses are open exempt to
any chapter, though the curses are PVP only (excluding Castle Wars and
Duel Arena).

Segment one contains the battle spells.
Segment two contains the teleportation spells.
Segment three contains the curse spells. PVP only (not PVP-world only, there's a difference).
You can reposition a segment by dragging it's divider bar (up or down).
X1 orders the spells by element.
X2 orders the spells by level.
All five chapters are graded between 1 and 5; and when the player chooses their chapters, the spells will be alternated, such as; Smoke, Ash, Shadow, Sand, Blood, Stone, Ice, Bone, etc. Aside from spells in the lowest and highest grade, all spells would have two possible levels (depending on which chapter they are paired with).

ah. I still need to re-write Xercus lol
Also, what would be cool is that you have to fight like a hear-shaped creature. Not like the valentine's day hart-shape, like the biological human heart shape. Possibly you have to cut off all the veins to kill the beast. OR maybe you somehow shrink into minisule size-or somehow breah into the enemy's body and destroy the body from inside-out.
sorry for the rather abstract and a tad gruesome idea, but hey, I do that! XD

The Heart Umbrae in the Flesh Section (formally Stone) resembles a heart, but you don't have to kill it. 
The whole image I'm getting is similar to Gears of War 2 and, might I say, it would be fricking sweet! (sorry, I've been saying fricking a lot lately). I've always wanted the idea of some structure being powered by a heart... although, I wouldn't really want us to kill that one. But the idea of a huge heart and you have to sever the veins...

Well, the only enemies in this quest who meet the size for attacking the heart to really be worth it is Colossus, unless we make the Great Sandworms fecking HUGE!

well, why not?
isn't this quest supposed to be a supreme grandmaster quest on epic proportions...? I mean seriously, this can be more 'epic' than Homer's Odyssey.

This website keeps hitting an error 
It is quite hard to tell you more without spoiling. Anyway, Azzanadra is free from the pyramid, and apparent he has quite phenomenal powers, or he is bluffing.

however we need at least a few ties, or else no quest requirements can be required for plot understanding
Why not make it a DT3 rather than a DT2?

This quest could be entirely detached from existing storylines without much toil, however, DT3: Empty Rising will no long be. The key themes of the new direction would merely be investigating the Shadow Realm... how it came to be, etc. Whilst related to Zaros, it's not directly connect to it nor does Zaros' inevitable return affect the quest. Well, that is, so long as his return does not remove the Shadow Realm.
However... with Zaros no longer being the aim, for what reason would we want to open the Shadow Realm? An unknown enemy? I could reuse my personality from the Wight Gate, Atlas. Nothing is known about this phantom, accept his insatiable desire for chaos.
Would ties to Zamorak still remain? It's possible Zamorak feared the beacons could free Zaros... so I guess his involvement is still logical. He took a precaution. It actually makes for quite a good quirk in the storyline. Zamorak took precautions... this is one he need not to have taken, but it still made for a good quest.
