Guthix




 * For other pages that have "Guthix" in their title, see Guthix (disambiguation).

Guthix is the god of tranquility, nature and balance. Guthix is also arguably the only true god featured in Runescape. Guthix desires only one thing: total equality. Because of this, Guthix is neither a "he" or a "she". Most people call Guthix an "it". It is neither good nor evil, and uses both to reach equilibrium with all the gods. After creating Gielinor, Guthix went into a deep sleep. When it awoke, Saradomin and Zamorak were causing chaos in their God Wars. The battlefield was the Wilderness. To stop the wars, Guthix wrote up a treaty for all the gods, saying that they may not interfere in the world of RuneScape (as "Gielinor" was replaced by "RuneScape" as a name) except in the form of prayer, and that all wars must only be fought in the God Realm. Guthix shows it needs no followers to exist by absorbing energy from the earth. Guthix appears mostly as a floating, hairy skull, as portrayed in the Postbag. However, Guthix is a shapeshifter, and is able to take the form of anything. It was as a butterfly when it came to Gielinor. Guthix's god symbol is a wedge with the large end facing left and a bolt of lighting going up from it, but its true symbol is an upright snake. Full Guthix armour is considered to be Guthix platelegs/Guthix plateskirt, Guthix platebody, Guthix full helmet, and, Guthix kiteshield.

Evidence from the God letters suggest that Guthix is the strongest of the gods, and Jagex has reported to have claimed it is the strongest god, with Zaros being the second strongest. It is somewhat notable that Guthix is the only character in RuneScape who is known to be a shapeshifter besides the Mahjarrat and Witch's Experiment (53) in the Witch's House, although are not linked to Guthix in any way.

Guthix's motto is: "Balance is Power".

Religion
Guthix is the god of balance and nature, meaning that it does not favour one gods opinions more than another. Although many player followers of Guthix tend to favour the path of chaos and evil (Zamorak)(i.e. Chaos Druids) or wisdom and justice (Saradomin). But to break the Guthixian population down even more, there are two general groups: Modernists and Traditionalist (A.K.A. Premodernists.)

Modernists
Modernists are the dominant group of Guthixians. They believe in balance more loosely, and will tend to side with one of the other two major gods. They acknowledge Saradomin and Zamorak as the new gods of justice and chaos.

Traditionalists
Traditionalists are in much fewer numbers than the Modernists. They are a bit more strict to the beliefs and teachings of Guthix's ideals on balance and nature. Many N.P.C.'s (such as Gypsy Aris, Druids and Void Knights) may be Traditionalists. The Edicts of Guthix are scripts written by Guthix probably followed by many traditionalists.

Reformists
Reformists number are unknown and are close to modernists. They agknowlage Saradomin was the sucssesor to Armadyl and Zamorak to Zaros. They say that Armadyl gave Saradomin the power of a god and Zamorak took it from Zaros. Armadyl hid away in his realm. Zaros was banished into his realm forever. They agnowlage that Armadyl and Zaros are still gods but there susessors have taken their place in justice and chaos. They want balance in all of Gelinor.
