Edicts of Guthix

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

The Edicts of Guthix, most prominently alluded to in the Darkness of Hallowvale quest, are a series of decrees Guthix created for the world after the last God War. At the time of this writing, there is "balance" in Gielinor between the god of order, Saradomin, and the god of chaos, Zamorak. If either god were to upset this balance by attempting to invade the other, then the other god would potentially call on reinforcements from other realms. This would escalate the crisis and lead to another devastating God War. If the Edicts of Guthix are violated, a select group of Guthixians have sworn an oath to conduct a ritual to re-awake Guthix, causing him to remake the world as it has never been, destroying RuneScape as known by its modern inhabitants in the process. As of the end of the Darkness of Hallowvale the Edicts of Guthix are being investigated by Saradomin scholars for a loophole after the revelation that werewolves had crossed the River Salve and kidnapped humans for blood tithes.

During the Legacy of Seergaze quest, a player discovers followers of both Zamorak and Saradomin, who are working together to bring down Edicts of Guthix.

When speaking to Juna the snake, there is a possiblility that the player will mention the Shadow of the Storm quest. After telling her about it, Juna states that Agrith-Naar found a way to get around the Edicts. This may mean that there are other ways to get around the Edicts, as is being looked in to in the Myreque series.
