Gielinor

Gielinor is the world in which RuneScape takes place. It was created by the god Guthix in the Third Age when he found an "empty plane," and shaped it into what is now RuneScape. Gielinor's regions include Misthalin, Asgarnia, the Kharidian Desert, Kandarin, Troll Country, Fremennik Province, Tirannwn, Morytania, the Wilderness, and the northern and southern seas.

Creation

 * Main article: First Age

Gielinor was created roughly 12,000 years ago by the god Guthix. The forming of Gielinor took about 4,000 years to complete, and afterwards, Guthix went into a state of hibernation. Eventually, mortals began to form the first civilizations, begining the Second Age of Gielinor.

The God Wars

 * Main article: God Wars

Near the end of the Second Age, Zaros, the evil god of Ancient Magicks who had taken complete power of Gielinor, was betrayed and killed by the Mahjarrat general Zamorak. Though Zaros was gone, other gods, however, wanted his lost power for themselves. A war broke out, beginning the Third Age of Gielinor. The gods' great power created destruction everywhere in RuneScape. But 4,000 years later, the god Guthix, who had went into a great slumber since the end of the First Age, awoke, and ended the war immediately. After the the war ended, most of the gods left Gielinor to other worlds.
