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).

It's a shame. I liked the depth I gave Zamorak's character in what he did in that fortress.

Boooo.
Also, the only other important one I can think of is Castle Drakan. All the other beacons have no significant locations and so they can be moved wherever.
Well, Desert we already know. Marsh is Castle Drakan. Mountain was Iban's Fortress (beneath GWD). Ocean and Jungle weren't specific.

I suppose the Jungle Beacon could be in the Kharazi Jungle, or in its dungeon.
Ocean could be underwater in the sea north of the Wilderness.
What did Zammy do anyway?

Faked the God Sword so has to have a battlefield permanently defend the beacon.

Hehe. Saradomin manipulates people through words, so I thought it might be interesting if Zamorak could manipulate people through actions. So he had the Godsword forged and then had his army attempt to claim it knowing they would be met by counter-measures. The sword is still real, but his army was never meant to succeed in obtaining it. The battle would not only defend the beacon, but the weapon itself would distract outsiders.
He promised Hallowland to Drakan in exchange for his services in the downfall of Cookies, Hallowvale including the March Beacon. Drakan would later convert it into a fortress, and so long as this incarnation of darkness survives, Zamorak was sure the beacon would be safe.

I think we should start the quest with a boss fight against the a weakened form the four bosses from the previous quest, all at the same time.

How about, the first fight is Zuriel? This section would be officially released - as in, declared. An asterisks placed after Desert Treasure, with the Fifth Diamond miniquest. Then, upon inserting the fifth key you'll be required to redefeat all-five guardians - thus, largely combat orientated.
Although, there's should probably be something more poetic about this as it would be something that we'll have to do with each beacon - and you can't have things like Colossus or Yantos just appearance. Perhaps an incarnation of the element - thus, a manifest of Shadow, a manifest of Smoke, a manifest of Blood and a manifest of Ice; with the manifest of Miasmic being the central boss (similar to how Nex works, I guess). These could be similar fights and appearances to the guardians, but don't have to be?

The Lock/Golem of the Desert? *shrugs*
Can we summarize everything on Neurosha, and do some planning for Collosus (who would have to be renamed)?

Frene? I thought he was a huge ent in another realm, which we fought on top of to obtain the diamond. Which is similar to the figth against Mountain.

Colossus was written first. 
Also, what part of "Frene" means he's not a huge ent in another wrong which we fight to get atop?

Frene... short for Freneskae. The homeworld of the Mahjarrat, or at least the last world they occupied.

Well, the Marhajah (?) like this domain of destruction because death brings new life, according to Enkarra. So, maybe the Colossus could be a boss with a high regeneration rate. Furthermore, he could be based off of Evil Trees, making him more of a 'skiller' boss. The climbing has already been used.
Furthermore, the other Curses should involve the 'Movement, Debuff, Sap, and DoT' pattern. Miasmic debuffs your attack speed.
Facade: ???
Occlusive: Your vision is distorted. You when you attempt to move in an direction, you will move in another one at random, Movement
Illusory: Replace with Vitality: Your combat stats are all slowly sapped, Sap >.>
