Gods

There are several important RuneScape gods that play a role within the game at this time. Each god has his or her own unique beliefs, character, history, followers, and domain.

Saradomin
The god of Order and the arch-nemesis of Zamorak.

Zamorak
The god of Chaos and the arch-nemesis of Saradomin.

Lesser known Gods

Armadyl
Armadyl is a god who ruled the airs and skies, One of the oldest gods around, he was an ally of Saradomin during the God Wars he is a god of good though it was hard to tell good from evil during the God Wars.

Marimbo
The god of Monkeys, worshipped on Ape Atoll.

Seren
The goddess of Elves.

Desert Pantheon
Only eight desert gods have been named. They are considered to be a "family" despite not being related by blood:

Tumeken
Tumeken is the lord of the Kharidian Desert, and is worshipped by the Menaphites. He is the husband of Elidnis, and the father of Icthlarin and Amascut.

Elidnis
Elidnis is the goddess of Fertility and Growth, and the wife of Tumeken. Her children are Icthlarin and Amascut. The River Elid is named after her.

Icthlarin
Icthlarin is the Demigod of the Dead, and friendly with cats. He appears in the quests Icthlarin's Little Helper, and Desert Treasure. He is the son of Tumeken and Elidnis

Amascut "The Devourer"
The goddess of Destruction, Amascut is the sister of Icthlarin and the daughter of Tumeken and Elidnis. She appears in the Icthlarin's Little Helper quest, and uses the body of a wanderer to lure players into the city of Sophanem and steal ceremonial jars in a burial room, disturbing the spirit of the late pharaoh. She also hates cats because after she gave her followers amazing destructive powers, they turned against her because of her large-scale destruction and were turned into cats.

Scabaras
According to Jex, Scabaras was a god who fell from grace. Not much else is known about this god at the moment except that he was the god of scarabs. It is also rumoured he spilled his blood onto some Scarabs, turning them into Kalphites.

Het
Het is the least strange looking of the desert gods he apparently resembles humans. He is the god of health of the mind and body and tends to be quite popular with Menaphites because of this. The plague of Sophanem is not known to be the work of Het or something trying to anger him.

Crondis
Crondis is a lady that has the head of a crocodile. According to Jex her main area of interest is with things that provide physical pleasure such as food, vestments, etc. She tends to be followed by skilled cooks and hunters and other lavish people.

Apmeken
Apmeken is the most unpredictable and playful of the gods. He tends to appeal to people who desire mental pleasures which is often appealing to scholars and sometimes downright dishonest people. His appearance is of a monkey or ape.

Bob the Jagex cat
Bob the Jagex Cat is mistakenly thought to be a god by many. Perhaps as an easter egg, Jagex let members worship him in their player-owned houses; in addition, pieces of conversation between him and your cat may let you think he is Zaros. However in the Tail of Two Cats quest players learn he is in fact Robert the Strong.
