Godlessness

This page addresses information about the Godless, and their followers as it applies to World 42 roleplaying. Any valuable contributors are welcome to contribute, especially as new content comes out in-game.

Brief History
The Godless' history is not a pleasant one. You could say it started with the Naragi, by Gielinor standards, unwilling to bend to Saradomin. All the Naragi, bar one were slain, either by Saradomin, Skargoroth, or Tuska. That one had achieved Godhood by acting in the ways of the Godless, and killing Skargoroth.

This Naragi was Guthix.

The next major case of Godless being a following, was the Dorgeshuun. They were a Goblin tribe, commanded by Bandos to enter a battle they knew they could not win. They told Bandos they would not fight, so he opened a chasm into the earth that swallowed the tribe. They now exist today as Cave Goblins.

The current Godless faction is comprised of many former Guthixians who believe Gods have no place on Gielinor, are vindictive after Guthix's death, or people who in general are disillusioned by the Gods after meeting them, or their most devout that accompanied them.

The Faction
The Godless faction was organised by Kara Meir and a former druid, Beihn. Beihn was loosely Guthxian, and planned to leave the Druids anyway, due to working with blood potions the druids of Taverley would find fault with. Kara Meir is not beyond working with a demon who is sick of the contracts to Zamorak and Zaros his race is bound to, to which even Beihn shows surprise. It was Kara Meir who picked the name for the group.

Common Mistakes
This category addresses traits that players, often new ones, give their Godless characters but that aren't actually seen in Godless on Gielinor. That is, a character may have these traits, but it would not be due to the teachings of the Godless faction.
 * While Guthixians will work with Godless, not all characters are Godless that are Guthixian.  This is demonstrated by Kara Meir's welcoming of demons, and Beihn's unorthodox Guthixian studies.
 * Godless who were not Guthixian do not nessacerily lack morales, they just build them from society and their family instead of religion.
 * Godless characters shouldn't be open and proud of becoming a Godless Faction member.  Every other faction is by far stronger, and will be enemies.
 * Not all Godless come from similar backgrounds, so they won't all get along.  This doesn't mean they won't help eachother, or will begin infighting.  Any Godless worth his salt knows they need every man or woman  they can get.

Other

 * The Godless are most likely based on Real-World Athiesm, mixed with the Paganistic-Buddhist ideals of the Guthixians who mingled into their ranks.
