Camel God



The "Camel God" is an unofficial name given to a thus far unnamed deity worshipped by the people of the Kharidian Desert. The god's existence is implied by Aristarchus, a Menaphite historical scholar from the city of Menaphos currently residing in Polnivneach.

Artistarchus suggests that Akthanakos, a Mahjarrat loyal to Zaros, took on a slightly different form when he arrived in Gielinor from Freneskae in the Second Age. This form was apparently influenced by a Menaphite god that bears resemblance to a camel. However, the god is not amongst those that have been mentioned by name in-game.

It is also possible that Aristarchus simply meant Akthanakos imitated the style of the Menaphite gods by assuming an desert animal-headed humanoid, and not a specific god. However, a poll released by Jagex on 26 July 2010 made specific reference to the god, including the statement "some in the desert insist he's real!" This would suggest that the god actually exists, or is believed by some Kharidians to exist.

Jagex has implied that, when Menaphos is opened, more Menaphite deities will be revealed. It is possible that the Camel God is amongst those.
