Talk:Armadyl

Alignment
Er, there is proof (though at this time i couldn't quote it) that Armadyl is good. Somewhere in one of the quests (probably Temple of Ikov), he's mentioned as being Saradomin's predecessor. If I ever find out where I'll quote it at you. Can't really be bothered to revert though, considering it would probably escalate into an argument. Just thought I'd leave this here.

 * Armadyl's goodness confirmed by Jagex. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  19:29, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Armadyl isent really good or bad. He is the god of Law and Order. --Tealclock 02:43, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

The article says Armadyl is a minor god but the template at the bottom disagrees?

Armadyl's benign alignment is confirmed by Jagex in the god letters, specifically one from Saradomin. And, in his time, he was quite a significant god. Also, he's not the god of law or order. He's the god of Supreme Justice.

Bandos?
I've come up with(Another) theory. It struck me as strange that of the 4 main combatants in the God wars dungeon, 2 are exact opposites(as Guthix has confirmed many times) So I thought: why can't Armadyl and Bandos be opposites? Armadyl is a good god, of law order and peace. His followers seem intelligent(or at least the guardians do) He seems to be merciful and the Aviansies even seem to have had a society. He presumably left Gielinor(If he did) because of the end of his beloved Aviantese, while bandos only loves bloodshed. He is an extremely cruel god who loves killing, untrustworthy and unadvanced(he even sits on a throne of bronze) with massive armies of different unintelligent species instead of only 1 race. Bandos doesn't seem to have another opposite and if Guthix would want to keep balance and stuff he would need an opposite for every god(dess), unless that one would be balanced like him too. Zaros isn't the god of pure evil most believe him to be so it probably isn't him. Please post your critics here.--Nantafiria 17:33, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, Guthix did not create the other gods, so there doesn't need to be balance there, I have heard of Armadyl as the god of purity (Rswiki userboxes) with Zaros as impurity, plus they are the predecessors of Sara and Zammy.--  Long Live Armadyl    01:08, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Name
How is his name pronounced? Someone should put that in the article Death reap 02:38, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Armadyl's pronunciation
I think it is pronounced "ar-mah-dill" but maybe that's because I'm Australian. It could be "ar-ma-dale", though I think the first is more accurate.Bennettjamin 02:48, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

I myself pronounce it "ar-mid-e-al" I used to pronounce it "ar-mah-dai-yal" but I think the first sounds much better. —71.175.47.40 (talk • contribs) forgot to sign this comment.

"They are split into two factions:"
Only one faction is described. What happened to the other? 18:33, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

since when does larissa folo armadyl? i dont remember hearing this.

Motto
Is his motto "Justice Through Judgement? --  NuparuMahnika   10:12, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

God of Justice?
When I look around on this Wiki and on RS forums, I see that a lot of people think Armadyl is the God of Order, Purity and/or Law. Nobody could know that, because it was never mentioned. I find it strange that people jump to conclusions so fast. These are all speculations after all. Moreover, Saradomin is the God of Order, so Armadyl can't be... And now we see in the last Postbag (40), that Idria refers to Armadyl as 'Lord of Justice'. So it seems clear to me that he/she is. Hippodo 3113 15:17, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes but Armadyl was Saradomin's predeccesor, so saradomin could have inheirited the title from himKenneth C. L. 04:53, February 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yea I agree with that.-- [[File:Summoning-icon.png‎‎]] NuparuMahnika  [[File:Shield2.PNG‎ ]] 14:44, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I forgot to log in, but I made the change of naming Armadyl as God of Justice. Hippodo 3113 20:38, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Followers.....
It is not true that Armadyl only has guardians of the staff of Armadyl as his followers, I myself follow him and loads of other players do (only if they know about him). Justice is Power 07:44, 14 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The section on followers refers to NPC followers only. 17:06, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok now I get it 16:44, 24 June 2009 (GMT)

zaros?
since when are he and zaros opposits? he seems good, peaceful, representing range, while zaros seems good, somewhat peaceful, representing mage. i say armadyl and bandos have less in common then armadyl and zaros

Bird god?
I think I have found evidence that armadyll is some kind of bird. in a recent postbag, lucien states that he is writing "with a quill I tore from Armadyl all those beautiful millennia ago". --‎ fire b ird 15:16, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hehe, maybe Armadyl have feathers? Teeehee... -- 12:45, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe he is referring to the Staff of Armadyl? But I do agree with you on the bird thing. Considering his insignia and his main followers, the Aviansie. Anyways, the god is my favorite god and is FTW!!!! -- 03:24, March 9, 2010 (UTC)superplayer08

Proper form of followers?
What are the followers be called? Armadylites or Armadylian? 207.61.196.218 22:06, July 5, 2010 (UTC)Malum

God of...
Isnt Armadyl the god of the skies as well. That should make him more than a minor god, as he is the god of supreme Justice AND the skies.

-Tesarasleader (Armadyl Seer ingame)

P.S HAIL THE GREAT SKY LORD!

The thing is that Armadyl was not so much a minor god in his time. He was, by all indication, on par with Saradomin, Bandos, etc (with the exception of Zaros). But with his patron race all but extinct, and his resultant fleeing from Gielinor, his power is no longer felt in the world. As it's stated (though I forget where) that all gods, except Guthix, gain their power to a greater or lesser degree from their followers. With Armadyl having no followers, his power would have taken a nosedive.
 * Armadyl was actually a major god, and became forgotten due to his followers switching from worshipping him to Saradomin. The reason why is being Armadyl actually passed his 'role' onto Saradomin.

Armadyl in disguise?
What if the player is armadyl in disguise?


 * Sorry, what you mean?? Right now it makes no sense :P 09:30, October 13, 2011 (UTC) (pls sign too )

Village in Scotland
As a Scottish person, I was intrigued by this, so decided to do a search. I can find NO evidence of such a town named Armadyl?

Symbols
There are two symbols on the page, but I am not familiar with the first one. Where is it shown, in game? 05:53, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's a symbol you can find in the clan symbols list. Some believe it's an aviansi.. or armadyl. If you ask me, it doesn't belong there either. 09:32, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
