They updated the Heirarchy of the gods page and I just found some of the information interesting and was wondering what you all thought of it.

"It is not known whether it is possible for a tier 2 god to become an Elder God, however

Just interesting that they didn't say outright that you couldn't ascend to Elder God status.

"Can choose to diminish and 'power down'. Cannot be killed."

I found it interesting about the not being able to be killed, especially considering the intents of the dragonkin. The power down I also found interesting. Do they mean sleep like guthix or power down like descend in tier? Descending in tier is certainly interesting, especially if it is voluntary, and if it is what they mean then theres a god I would think could be a former elder god.

"To ascend to godhood, an individual needs to reach a certain threshold of power. The most common methods of doing so are by being exposed to Elder God artefacts, or by killing a god and accepting a transferal of energy from that god."  Found this interesting. Particularly the part about accepting the transfer of energy. Makes it seem like certain gods who unintentionally became gods had more control over it then previously thought. Specificaly guthix, although interesting in regards to Sliske. Could mean that he had the option of Ascention and chose not to accept it.
