It seems the RS gold desert has a LOT of things BUT Tumeken who are gods or god-like items based on things. Puppies, Scarabs and Scabaras, Crocodiles and Crondis, Het and Monkeys, Apmeken and humans, and as you pointed out the heart and Telos and the river, Amascut and cats, Icythlarin and elidnis is another possible one. Heck even Amascut finally generated 3 corruptive spirits using voice the stole sight, and hearing Apmeken and went.

That reminds me there is another theme in which it feels like that the beings are connected and cause a feedback affect. Telos and the center, Elidnis and the river, all of the desert monkeys dropped one of their senses when Apmeken did, when Crondis did, the crocodiles became greedy, and when Het was lost humans started to have poor health. So here is my theory.

The template is an elder artifact that can use a couple of creatures/things as blue prints to produce new things/beings. Where the mirror was for replicating things the template will be for carrying the different elements of items they wanted and combining them to make something fresh.

Someone, possibly Tumeken used the template but I am skeptical, to make Elidnis. Perhaps no one used it even perhaps the artifact kind of was running and made its own thing. When Tumeken met Elidnis he learned and gained control of this template. So that they used part of a dog, a cat, and themselves in the template to make Amascut and Icythlarin Both wanted children. These beings thus possessed attributes of the creatures they were based but also some power in.

Later on for reasons not entirely known to us his character was used by Tumeken more with the template and 4 other animals. Scarabs People, and Monkeys to make the desert pantheon's gods. Afterwards Tumeken blew himself and Elidnis was banished by Guthix, but their weaker lesser children were permitted to stay. Amascut seized her opportunity to attempt to bring destruction and war although the lesser gods foiled her plans so she needed to do something.

The template I believe had a negative effect where the monster used to make it could have its effects responses into things which share its components. By making, Therefore weakening health and Het plagues started to effect the desert people closest to him. If she hurt Apmeken desert monkeys felt the impact of noise, lost sight, or address. It turned that the crocodiles greedy, when she left Crondis greedy. However she could never locate Scabaras so she needed to resort to some much more lengthy strategy to try and corrupt them. This manner the gods that brought peace to the desert brought destruction. It went a step farther though, Amascut used the template herself. She mixed and voice of Apmeken and it utilizing the template to create these three monkey creatures and took her corrupt essence.RuneScape Demographics Analytics

I Now have a large amount of data stored up so I though it'd be interesting to observe the demographics of my viewers as its likely large enough to be near the real demographics of RS (though as I am a little channel I have a tendency to lean specific ways due to how hard it's to find me).All data is from the previous 90 days unless otherwise defined, covering 282,335 viewpoints. They get closer to the RS demographics as stated previously I feel as they get more mainstream and the stations are going to have female participation. Jagex said it was 85% a few years ago (no source buy OSRS gold sorry) and I've seen as my subscriber count has gone up so has my feminine viewership (comparatively ).
