Leviathan

The Leviathan is a sea monster spoken of in Gielinorian lore. Legends surrounding the Leviathan are many, although concrete facts regarding it are few.

Reported Sightings
In the Year 169 of the Fifth Age, the Dorgeshuun explorer Zanik was aboard an Entranan vessel travelling to the Asgarnian coastal settlement Port Sarim. During a storm, the ship was damaged when it struck what appeared to be a partially submerged object. Following the ships' arrival in Port Sarim, Zanik overheard a pirate that had been aboard the ship speculating that the object they struck had infact been "the Leviathan". However, he travelled to The Rusty Anchor before Zanik could inquire further.



Evidence suggests that the object the ship struck was not the Leviathan, but instead a submarine-like object being used by the intelligent penguins of the "Motherland" to spy on the human nations. What appears to be a submarine can now be observed near Port Sarim and in other locations as part of a secret update released by Jagex. The update and story strongly hint at a future update, likely related to the Cold War quest series. The story can be found in the May 2009 issue of Postbag from the Hedge.
