Letters to the Chaos Elemental

In response to letters sent by players (featured in the "Postbag from the Hedge"), the Chaos Elemental often replies in a way that hints at future updates, in a rather cryptic manner.

Letter 4
''Wait in the shadow realm: you are not of the blood nor sin. Up north the wind blows cold to Lumbridge and Ardougne, works like clockwork.

A spider with a sardine! A newt with a rooster! It's all underground, where there's a hole in my pocket. Pockets? The Chaos Elemental has no need for pockets!''

Updates from Letter 4

 * Meanwhile, back in the caves, a blotched lord's inns eat exotic food and all that jazz. (Dorgesh-Kaan city opened, 'a blotched lord's inns' is an anagram of 'Bandos' lost children')
 * Up north the wind blows cold to Lumbridge and Ardougne, works like clockwork (Cold War quest)

Letter 5
(Anagrams in Wise Old Tips at the end of Postbag From the Hedge Issue 17) 

I am it. Hangar's at ninth egg on motion. A shingle's ounce ramp, cur! Hi, Jimmy's a nontechnical pomps. Lurk, thesis-stink! Oh, till goofier homonym. Guaranteed slimes sing. Ocarinas blast it: tell warranted variants. A camouflager's overworked net. Hotspot manatee, not thorns! Utmost hop; up, ghastlier salad net. Now seething benign, hesitant. Now degraded trash.

Letter 6
In the Postbag of the month April 2007, Melzar the Mad responds in the language to the Chaos Elemental's responses.

''Bans engines injector, I so doddered a cat skulks. Own way bath. Alongside astrology and similar divinatory arts: Kepler's barycentre, doubled and moved to a second barycentre, like the inmates in an asylum, finds those that stalk the world the Tanakh told of (when kings were due to fall).''

''And in others, like but unlike, be of assistance. Progeny of Alcumus works within that ecliptic land and its other world. Cabbage, not a pet, is man's best friend.''

Like a fiend in a cloud, With howling woe, After night I do crowd, And with night will go; I turn my back to the east, From whence comforts have increased; For light doth seize my brain With frantic pain.

Letter 8
In the Postbag from the Hedge from 29 November 2007, the image of the Chaos Elemental's noticeboard is shown. The image consists of a corkboard with seven items on it. The top four items are: a lottery ticket from The Magical Lottery, a coupon or ad for Ogre wigs, a picture of a singing ot whistling caniformiatic whistle and a copy of the Varrock Herald ripped in half. The botton of the noticeboard has an incorrectly filled Sudoku puzzle with rune symbols in the place of numbers, a To Do list and a Post-it note. Five of the seven papers on the noticeboard contain bite marks.

The Magical Lottery

The numbers on the lottery card, 13,1,7,16,9,5, is code for magpie. The bottom serial numbers on the ticket, below the barcode, spells macaw, another type of summoning familiar.

Ogre Wigs

The ad or coupon indicates "5gp off" the wigs with a picture of said wig. It is copyrighted to Balnea, which was a hint at As a First Resort...

Whistle Picture

A picture of a whistle in the shape of a Caniformia-like animal with musical notes coming from its mouth. It is impossible to know which notes these since there is no key and there are four lines and not the proper five. The image is signed Pikkupstix with XX below the name. Pikkupstix is the name of a druid in Taverley, and is the NPC who teaches you summoning. The whistle is shaped like a Wolf's head (Wolf Whistle)

The Varrock Herald

The paper which has the words ROCK RALD is ripped refers to the Varrock Herald. The story is written by Annette Fisher which is a homonym for 'a net fisher'. The sentences themselves appear to be nonsense but if ignoring spaces and punctuations, the words beaver, raven, hen, ibis, unicorn, locust and lobster reveal themselves, all of which are summoning familiars

Chaosudoku

The Chaosudoku game consists of the symbols of runes possibly including the symbol for the life rune which could have been used in Summoning however due to the crude nature of the images, it could simply be a mind rune.

The game actually contains errors if following the traditional rules of Sudoku since two symbols appear in the same grid. This is because the chaosudoku is being used for a coded message which each symbol representing a letter and each row representing a word (as hinted by the soul rune appearing over the A in CHAOSUDOKU). Decoded, this message says: "Mahjarrat gathers an army he shall slay many masters"(this was likely a reference to While Guthix Sleeps, a quest released in November,2008.)

To Do list

The items on the list are anagrams which can be transformed into several different answers. For example, Spy Marinating can give us Pagan ministry, Gypsy Trainman, Prying Stamina, Army paintings and Praying Mantis. Do to the sheer number of possible anagrams and nebulous nature of these hints (for instance, the above anagrams for Spy Marinating could respectively hint at prayer, transportation, agility, Falador or a new monster), listing and speculating on these anagrams here would create too unwieldy and confusing a list.

"Add flower" is an anagram for Dreadfowl, the picture of which is next to the BTS article for December, 2007. "Invite Purl" is an anagram for Evil Turnip, the picture of which is next to the BTS article for January, 2008.

The Morse Code at the end of the To Do list forms the word Gecko.

Post-it note

A note that says: "Honey, A Gory, Drying Banshee! Chaos. E"

Other clues

There are six letters circled in red on the various items on the board. When rearranged. they form the name of Lucien. This clue is probably connected to the Chaosudoku clue.

One common theme of the board is animals; the magpie, the macaw, the gecko, the Wolf Whistle and the animals in the Varrock Herald. These refer to the skill, Summoning.

Edited to note: The notes with a bite out of them were clues for summoning. The others were red herrings, but certainly also contain information for future updates.

Letter 9
In the Postbag from the Hedge from 31 January 2008, an image of a Chaos rune with a word search in it is shown. There is also a list of people that don't exist.

List of People These are anagrams for future summoning familiars:


 * Kitty Traips - Spirit Kyatt
 * Greg Oftener - Forge Regent
 * Roger Vavida - Void Ravager
 * Gilian Bedooms - Obsidian Golem
 * Rob A. - Boar
 * Iris Tiarapulp - Spirit Larupia
 * Patti Mawns - Swamp Titan
 * Tori Fishved - Void Shifter
 * Stan Oblate - Talon Beast
 * Dr. O Reply - Pyre Lord

Chaos rune word search

The words are cut off near the end, or they are just random groups of words. They may also be backwards, vertical, and diagonal. Some parts of them have been found:


 * Obsidi
 * Sangwin
 * A slug to the head
 * My wreck for a (myreque 4)
 * Talon Beast
 * Tease
 * Spirit Kyatt
 * Spirit Larupia
 * Void Ravager
 * sir vant (referring to the knight in lumbridge who greets new players)

Letter 10
According to Postie Pete in Postbag from the Hedge 32, out of the only beings who could respond to a letter about RuneScape High Detail, three are bordering on mad, one is too busy bartending, another is possibly fictional and the rest are gods. As such, the Chaos Elemental responded:

''A laborer missed the High Detail boat, like the large friends of Charles Perrault. Who? Nigel! Who? A smothering yeti, that’s what. He has a brother, you know – an outpost up a family tree.''

''Two seasons in quick succession? That’s the work of rockhopper. I saw him a minute ago...singing Hollywood, Flesh and Blood. Life is fun at the purdy brown, including some hard acts to follow. Stir a vodka nutcracker, and find something hidden in the near raving. The choice is green or yellow during centrifugal – search within: I’m in, I game.''

''Nothing can save him: simulated udder. Clue in Growth Journal shows a culprit. Guaranteed slimes sing, or am I just repeating myself?''

Parties swarm like it's 1915.

Shoelaces Lament


 * "A laborer missed the High Detail boat, like the large friends of Charles Perrault" - Charles Perrault was famous for writing fairy tales, this is a hint to the detail update being given to Zanaris


 * " Who? Nigel! Who? A smothering yeti, that’s what. He has a brother, you know – an outpost up a family tree." "Smothering yeti" was anagram for Meeting History, which began in the Outpost.


 * "Two seasons in quick succession?" Spirit of Summer and Summer's End


 * "That’s the work of rockhopper." Penguin Hide and Seek


 * "Life is fun at the purdy brown, including some hard acts to follow." Balthazar Beauregard's Big Top Bonanza


 * "The choice is green or yellow during centrifugal – search within: I’m in, I game." was hinting towards The Great Orb Project. During Centrifugal is an anagram for Runecrafting Guild.


 * "and find something hidden in the near raving." - You can find "neAR RAVing." in the sentence, (Defender of Varrock)


 * "Parties swarm like it's 1915" - Party Room moved to Falador.

Letter 11
In Postbag 36, Postie Pete states at the very beginning that for Christmas, the Chaos elemental, ''last year he gave me a squirrel on a stick, a dog training book and a donkey tail. What could that possibly mean?'' Further on, the Chaos Elemental answers a letter with:

Betentacled Ganondorf7769,

''Ralvash is gone; Muspah, famous, sleeps with the fishies, if fishies frozen could be. That's where the shadows are shadowed, and even the delvers don't dare. Bizarre: one day it's almost time for a shadow to shift - and a shadow to open its unblinking, empty eye.''

Gentlemen, ''I recall with great pleasure those days that you, of course, do not. Nial was there, but he was different then, just like you all. Time changes us all, as do curses. I pray you forgive me for this.'' B.Y.

''What's in Raktuber this year? A white bird, as the etymology of ornithology goes. That's not where Bandos is, he's in a rage, old chum, old temple, old plots, old power. Old is as old does - I'm old, sometimes, so I should know, but I do not.''

''This great, high, uplifted land, Corrupt and Natural, and all things bound within the soul of the slayer - whose land is it? The red and the green, but not entirely like or unlike the ramblings of a mad, dead man.''

Within a darkening universe,

Reappropriated Polychromatic Reptile

Updates from Letter 11

 * I recall with great pleasure those days that you, of course, do not. Nial was there, but he was different then, just like you all. Time changes us all, as do curses. I pray you forgive me for this.
 * B.Y.
 * (Glorious Memories)


 * Time changes us all, as do curses. I pray you forgive me for this.
 * (The Temple at Senntisten, Ancient Curses)


 * What's in Raktuber this year? A white bird, as the etymology of ornithology goes.
 * (Hunt for Red Raktuber)


 * That's not where Bandos is, he's in a rage, old chum, old temple, old plots, old power.
 * (The Chosen Commander)


 * This great, high, uplifted land, Corrupt and Natural, and all things bound within the soul of the slayer - whose land is it?
 * (Soul Wars)


 * Ralvash is gone; Muspah, famous, sleeps with the fishies, if fishies frozen could be.
 * (Mysteries of the Mahjarrat quest series)

Other

 * The name that is signed, Reappropriated Polychromatic Reptile, can not be an anagram of Chaos Elemental due to the lack of the letters S and N. However, reappropriating a polychromatic Reptile is another way to say steal chameleon which is an anagram of Chaos elemental.
 * Raktuber refers to the third month in the ten month calendar of Runescape which occurs between 20 April and 23 May on the Gregorian calendar.
 * As the etymology of ornithology goes, a white bird in Latin would be a niveus, candidus or albus avis, depending on the precise definition of "white". The phoenix, which Jagex confirmed will be a new summoning familiar, has the Greek word for crimson as its name origin. Penguin is thought to derive from the Welsh for 'white head' and in several languages the word for swan literally translates as 'white bird'
 * The letter was written by a player named Zelda2144 but the Chaos Elemental replied to Ganondorf7769. Ganondorf is the nemesis of Princess Zelda in the Legend of Zelda series.s
 * Ralvash is listed in Postbag 38 as a Mahjarrat who has faced the void.

Letter 12
'''Grace brings the pain. The rhythm of blood begins anew.'''

''To conclude: Fay autocrat impugns royal, yet The avatar liberates everyone? FREE! I think this all happens after the time When stars were entertaining June...in Bennath.''

The Red Raktuber flies at midnight. (Well, maybe not 'flies'.) Regardless, I'm about to descend into a ventricle of darkness, and I don't know which hat to wear: swordfish, octopus, lobster?

"Wake the muspah. Don't wake the muspah!" - and that's just the first of them! Syzygy nearing: Ritual too. Watch those scopes and learn what you can before it occurs. Ralvash was last, who is next? Me? You? No, we're not one of them.

Now, where are those keys? Ah yes, the keys are left of Mr E Frdrty Wirdy and Mr E Utwrwir Wirdy. What a curious village.

Sheds are heavy; Sirrah is dead.

Unknown updates from Letter 12

 * "Sheds are heavy; Sirrah is dead."
 * This may hint toward a fifth Temple Knights quest, as Sir Tiffy Cashien sometimes calls male players "sirrah."
 * (possible hint to Quiet Before the Swarm due to what happens in the quest)

Other notes from Letter 12

 * To reflect the chaotic nature of the Chaos Elemental, if you type out his signature 'xglA WKWNWBRk' on a normal QWERTY keyboard one key to the right, instead of to the left, with the change in character case representing a press of the CapsLock key, you get: chaos elemental

Letter 13 (Suitcase)



 * The circled letters are an anagram of Ali the Wise (and by extension also Wahisietel).
 * If you hover over the picture on the Postbag from the Hedge page, the alternative text says "my name is in this Postbag," possibly hinting at the fact that the Chaos Elemental's name is somewhere on the page.
 * In the "Source Code" is a hidden line saying "Peter, I know you are looking in my suitcase. BTW - the gas is on at your house." This was a note from the Chaos Elemental to Postie Pete.

Suitcase notes

 * Note 1: The answer to the question in the Peanuts "cartoon" is, "The peanut was a-salted (assaulted)." Rellekka is mentioned, and the initials "C.C." either stand for Commander Connad or Captain Cain of Barbarian Assault.
 * (Barbarian Assault Improvements)


 * Note 2: Each of the requested "items" has a missing word in common: Red, Axe, Chaos, Dwarf, and Machine. The words "I forgive you" are written faintly on the opposite side of the note.
 * (Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf)


 * Note 3: "Mentor a bandwagon" is an anagram for "Rag and Bone Man Two." The "No. 156 in the world" revealed that the sequel to Rag and Bone Man would be the 156th quest.
 * (Fur 'n' Seek)


 * Note 4: "Hardens South" is an anagram for "Use Shorthand" and the text appears to be written in Teeline Shorthand. The translation is "Uv b wd abt Sl Ws. Nmd is tb frd." Transcribed it says, "You've been warned about Soul Wars. Nomad is to be feared." The note is signed "zzz" with a squiggle in parentheses that translates as "imp" in shorthand, indicating that the note was written by Zimberfizz, Nomad's imp. In the same Postbag, Zimberfizz answered a player's letter, expressing suspicion that Nomad has "some evil scheme in his noggin."
 * (Nomad's Requiem)


 * Note 5: Using the coloured arrows at the bottom of the "All in One Place" sheet as a guide: The letters to the right of the blue underlined letters are an anagram for Fishing, and the letters to the left of the red underlined letters are an anagram for Mining, indicating updates to fishing and mining. The names listed are famous rock and roll musicians. All the musicians on the right are living, and all the musicians on the left are dead. The final name, "Caverns," refers not to a musician but to The Cavern Club, where all of the named musicians have performed at some point--"All in one place."
 * (Living Rock Caverns)


 * Note 6: Morse Code for "3" is found under the "Breakfast" heading. The symbols of the listed elements (Os for Osmium, P for Phosphorous, W for Tungsten, O for Oxygen, Rh for Rhodium, and K for Potassium) can be rearranged to spell "workshop."
 * (Elemental Workshop III)


 * Note 7: When one looks at the layout of the Temple of Light, it marries up exactly, with the lines and dots in the Boxes section. The title, "Boxes," is written in blue, indicating that the quest was in the "blue boxes" stage of development (explained in New Dwarf Quest: Coding and Writing) at the time the Postbag was released.
 * (Within the Light)

Letter 14
This time, the Chaos Elemental answers to a letter sent in by Catdude61. His original text was:

His text must be read from bottom to top, right to left and is translated as follows (spelling errors corrected for clarity):

Next the Chaos Elemental replied:

This is deciphered into a new text using the following rules:


 * The title is read the same as the letter from Catdude61, completely from right to left.
 * The first word in each line follows the same rule as the original letter, read from the right to the left.
 * In the first line, only words must be read from the right to the left (word order is left to right). Note that the positioning of spaces has been altered.
 * For the second line, every letter has been replaced by the opposite letter in the order of the alphabet. ( A = Z, B = Y, C = X, D = W, etc.)
 * In the third line, the letters in the words shift place by one in the alphabet, each next letter a place more. The first letter is correct, the second letter needs to be shifted once, the third letter twice, and so on.
 * The fourth and fifth line are read from right to left again.
 * The signature follows the same rule as line 3.

Then it says:

Updates from Letter 14

 * (Strykewyrm Slayer update)


 * "The plAnets aRe set to aligN; kith anD kin will fight. More than one judGe is fAted to die thiS yeaR howevEr."
 * (The Ritual of the Mahjarrat) This also hints, that more than one Judge of Itchlarin (Mahjarrat) will be killed in the ritual. The capital letters when rearranged spell "GRANDMASTER".


 * "The pieces are black and white; like good mysteries they come in fours. But the game is void; there are no Grandmasters here. A temple may sit between the pieces."
 * Void Knights quest series

Other notes from Letter 14

 * "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!" is a famous palindrome describing the Panama Canal, which joins the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific through the middle of the Americas. This was either a joke by Jagex or a hint that some of the Chaos Elemental's letter should be read backwards. It may also be a reference to the canal and barge being built in the Digsite.

Letter 15
"Dear Plane-Freezer Lakhrahnaz the Stalker,

''The dungeons of Daemonheim are pretty cool, especially where you are. I know we may have had an odd fight now and then - sometimes you win, sometimes I do - but PLEASE tell me how to stay still on the ice! It would make our fights a lot fairer, and I would not get as frustrated, because at the moment your area is the most annoying. And, as we both are warriors, I ask you to make our battles fairer, then we will see who is truly the strongest.''

Also, it must be a bore for an intelligent being such as yourself to be positioned day after day waiting in isolation for the next intruder to enter, what do you do to pass the time?

And lastly, what tips could you give me for fighting Khighorak and Ilhakhizan?

A fanatic dungeoneer, Sevga"

To which is replied with:

"[Dear Sevga. I wandered into the frozen floors of Daemonheim to try to find the Lakhrahnaz mentioned in your letter, but encountered a rather annoying and luminescent icefiend instead. After hopping round in circles for what seemed a lifetime, he eventually did himself an icicle-based mischief and dropped a journal. Out of curiousity, I gave the journal a read, and found that it mentioned you! It seemed impossible, but is anything truly impossible in RuneScape? – PP]

Fourth Age, year 01-59:

''Judge, locks and fowl share a theme with our new naut. Behold, my pet: a bestseller shower. One should note, Sevga, if they wish to find out how RT maddened.''

Fourth Age, year 1:19:

''Mix in a Job. “Hey, monkey features! You can keep man, but get those simians out of my sandpit!” It may not be wise to defy red, but it’s possible with scattered chip mice and a worn mule cart.''

Fourth Age, year 071009:

''JV loves mambo. Same diet, wash an go, koh jum box !: they have a friend in RuneScape. HHF uea nrr tbm eli ron rg e.''

Fourth Age, year 2212N1145E:

''Origins lie in ruined Kethsi, but now they return from the stone prison to lay waste. The strong remembers, the weak falls.''

Notes from Letter 15:

 * "Fourth Age, year 01-59" - Notice the use of a hyphon. 01-59 are all the floors in Dungeoneering. Hint to the release of the Warped Floors.


 * "Judge, locks and fowl share a theme with our new naut." - Judge, Locks, Fowl and Naut can all be joined with Dread: Judge Dredd , Dread locks , Dread fowl , Dread naut  (Likely a Warped Floor boss in Dungeoneering). Again, a hint to the release of the Warped Floors.


 * "bestseller shower" may be a reference to Lexicus Runewright since a bestseller is a book, and Lexicus showers the player with books.


 * "One should note, Sevga, if they wish to find out how RT maddened." - The only mad NPC in the game with the initials RT is the Rewards Trader formerly known as Marmaros. Entering "Sevga" in the notes feature ingame shows the following phrase: "Marmaros had a close encounter with a prayer-eating behemoth."; So Marmaros went insane due to an encounter with a prayer-draining behemoth (Likely a new Behemoth boss for the Warped Floors).


 * "Fourth Age, year 1:19" - Mix in a Job" - Reference to the Book of Job, 1:19 - "And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee." - Possibly a quest with a similar plot and name (Mix in a Job).


 * "“Hey, monkey features! You can keep man, but get those simians out of my sandpit!” "- "keep man" is an anagram for Apmeken, one of the desert pantheon goddesses. Apmeken was made in a monkeys image by Tumeken, who was changed by an encounter with their friendiliness and sociability. Tumeken said "[Monkeys] are, indeed, the most sociable of creatures, bringing joy and happiness to all around. I shall give unto [monkeys] a piece of myself, so that you may help me rule this desert realm, an example to my people to take pleasure in the joys of society, so that they too can be blessed by Tumeken"(Source). So what is being said here is that monkeys are going into the desert, even though the desert pantheon gods do not want them there, which would be the plot of the newest quest from the Monkey Series. In which case, "It may not be wise to defy Red" may refer to Amascut the Devourer, currently disguised as Sumona the red-haired, red-eyed slayer master.


 * "It may not be wise to defy red, but it’s possible with scattered chip mice and a worn mule cart." - "chip mice" is an anagram for "ice chimp"; "mule cart" is an anagram for "lemur cat" or "cat lemur".


 * "Fourth Age, year 071009" - 07/10/09; this is the date of the release of high level herblore potions, october 7th 2009. If you take the date 07/10/09 and reverse it to 09/10/07 you find the release date of the Jade vine quest Back to my roots.


 * "JV loves mambo." - "JV" are the initials of Jade Vine, hinting a possible future update related to the Jade vine maze.
 * "mambo" is a style of dance, but it is also a word in Haitian Creole meaning a voodoo priestess. The deities Samedi and Shango also play a part in Haitian voodoo.


 * "Same diet, wash an go, koh jum box" - Contained within this phrase are the words Samedi and Shango. Baron Samedi and Shango are both deities of African origin, and thus may be hinting at the Karamjan gods mentioned in the Jungle Potion quest.


 * "they have a friend in RuneScape." - Reference to the film Toy Story's song "You've Got a Friend in Me".


 * "HHF uea nrr tbm eli ron rg e" - Take every three letters. These letters decode to: "Hunter", "Herblore", and "Farming". Most likely skill requirements for a quest.Location Chaos elemental hint.png


 * "2212N1145E" - 22.12N 11.45E are the coordinates for a spot of land between Trollweiss Mountain and Zemouregal's fortress near the Mahjarrat ritual site. If anything, since the coordinates line up to an inaccessible area, it is possible the coordinates could line up with a spot in Lamistard's Tunnels. It could also refer to the site of the Mahjarrat ritual stone.


 * "Origins lie in ruined Kethsi, but now they return from the stone prison to lay waste" - Possibly referring to the Dragonkin, since 'Kethsi' is an anagram of Siketh, Which follows the naming with the other three already known Dragonkin. The stone prison may be referring to the Stone of Jas.


 * "The strong remembers, the weak falls" is not grammatically correct if "the strong" and "the weak" are interpreted in their usual sense as plural nouns. Thus, it might make more sense to view "The strong" as a singular noun (possibly Robert the Strong, who fought the Dragonkin in the past). "The weak" could be a person too (Possibly Jhallan in his weakened state) or "The weak falls" could refer to the Baxtorian Waterfall (which has historical connections to the Dragonkin) rather than a person.


 * "Mel-ona the Scale" - is an anagram for the "chaoS eleMental"


 * "... Judge, locks...", " ... shower . One...", "... Sevga , if...", "... red , but...", "... box !: they...", and "... waste . The..." - Notice the odd spacing here. Take the last letter of every word before the odd spacing and you get: E R A D X E, which is an anagram for RED AXE.
