Zamorak

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape

Zamorak (colloquially Zammy) is often confused with being a standard god, is the god of chaos, and being one of the three major gods. His symbol is a sort of fork and a W, which is also shown on his God armour. Guthix calls him a personification of Chaos, when asked about this in one of his letters. His followers burnt the original Wizards' Tower to the ground, depriving the Saradomin mages of the time of much of the knowledge of magic, and in particular how to make runes. Zamorak was the second main participant in the God wars. Though he did not shape the world as did Guthix, Zamorak had corrupted many parts of the would-be orderly world Saradomin envisioned with taints of "evil" (in the opinion of most people), especially in human nature and such. He was one of the gods featured in the God Letters. According to Saradomin, also in the God Letters, Zamorak's name is pronounced "Zam-oh-rack." Zamorak, like Saradomin and Guthix, does not speak of Zaros, as he is frightened of him beyond belief, as shown in the issue 18 of the God Letters.

[edit] History of Zamorak

Zamorak was not always seen as a god, but was once a mortal. How he became a god-like was once not known, and the specifics are still a bit fuzzy. However, it is now known by talking to ghosts involved with a revolt which he led.

Zamorak came from the realm of Freneskae, and was led by Icthlarin. However, he, in time, sided with Zaros.

He used to be a Mahjarrat general of the army of the great god Zaros until he and some of his close followers decided to rebel. Using the Staff of Armadyl, which he obtained through a series of circumstances mentioned in more detail during a miniquest, Zamorak was able to stab Zaros in the back with it whilst his close followers (including Hazeel, Drakan, Zemouregal, a human warrior named Viggora, and some others not mentioned by name) fought off Zaros' body guards. He stabbed Zaros in the back with the staff but this did not do much at first other than sending Zaros into a blind rage. Even though Zamorak was a Mahjarrat, who originate from a plane of eternal war and thus are powerful fighters, Zaros was still able to continue the fight with him.

However, during this battle, Zaros tripped, thus causing the Staff of Armadyl to impale Zamorak as well as him, thus sending Zaros' power through the staff into Zamorak like an electrical current. After this, Zaros faded out of the dimension while cursing all humans involved in the revolt to be invisible ghosts for the rest of eternity, and Zamorak seemed more solid, although he did not become a god until a short time later after he was banished by other gods before.

During the God Wars, his army destroyed many cities like Uzer and Ullek. Zamorak's army consisted mainly of vampyres, mahjarrat, humans and most notably, he preferred to use creatures from other realms, like demons and goraks. It is believed that the other Gods disliked Zamorak even more than they disliked each other during the God Wars, as in the God Wars Dungeon battle Armadyl, Saradomin and Bandos plan to make an alliance and defeat him.

Full Zamorak is considered to be Zamorak platelegs/Zamorak plateskirt, Zamorak platebody, Zamorak full helmet, and Zamorak kiteshield.

Zamorak signed his God Letters "Strength through Chaos".
