Second Age

The Second Age is the period of time following the creation of RuneScape. It is also the 'Golden Age' of Zaros, until he was defeated by Zamorak. The second age spanned from the beggining of the slumber of Guthix until the betrayal of Zaros by Zamorak. Zamorak was once one of Zaros' generals, but he and a group of majharrat betrayed him. Its is believed that they stole the staff of Armadyl and used it for the rebellion. Zamorak stabbed Zaros with it, but he was not destroyed, and they struggled untill the staff pierced them both at the same time. The power of Zaros flowed into Zamorak and he became a God. It is unclear exactly what happened to Zaros, although it is widely believed that he survived in some form or another. It is also unknown what caused Zamorak with his followers to rebel against Zaros. Zamorak and Saradomin immediately declared war on the remainder of Zaros's loyal followers, but the war escalated until there was a full scale God War.
