The Bird and the Beast

The Bird and the Beast (known as BnB) is the second world event, which started on December 11th 2013, and will last for six weeks. The event will feature the gods Armadyl and Bandos fighting over weapons of mass destruction atop towers that they have aimed at the opposing god, in addition to caravans all over Gielinor that can be raided by players. The Godless will be interfering with this world event, sending members to ambush the gods' troops.

Unlike the Battle of Lumbridge, the loser of the conflict will die. Divination will play a role in this world event, and safe PvP conflict will also be possible. Players will also be able to build golems. The benefits of enabling PvP include increased renown, more experience, faster construction of buildings and Heroic skulls. The Heroic skulls will be a possible drop from killing a worthy opponent in PvP, and will be able to be buried at the tower of your faction for a chunk of Prayer experience.

As seen in the BTS 81 video, players will be able to once again gain armour for the god they side with. It will be hybrid armour similar to the Warpriest of Zamorak and Saradomin available from the first world event, the Battle of Lumbridge. Unlike the warpriest armours from the Battle of Lumbridge, these armours will give a decrease to ability cooldowns. Other rewards include new Abilities for all combat types and new emotes.

Like during the first world event, players will be able to switch factions at will, albeit at a cost of losing all their unspent renown and token level that they have gained from the first faction.

Introduction
With the depletion of the rift in Lumbridge at the climax of the battle between Saradomin and Zamorak, the gods have been forced to find other sources of divine energy. Both Armadyl and Bandos have turned to the newly discovered skill of Divination, and caravans of their followers travel the world to bring the energy back to their mighty towers. To do this, they've established sites in key places around Asgarnia and Misthalin, and are gathering followers to claim and defend these sites as well as the caravans.

Sites
Sites are locations that either side of players can dominate. Note occupied sites are localised on each world, not shared for all worlds.

There are 14 sites, scattered around in the free-to-play game area.

Renown
Renown can be earned by repairing structures. 5 renown is awarded each time an action is performed; this is doubled to 10 renown per action when PvP mode is enabled. Construction experience is also awarded depends on the player's Construction level.

Members can gather 30,000 renown daily while free-to-play players can gather only up to 14,000 each day.
