Zaros

Zaros is a god of Gielinor, currently banished to a dimensional pocket. He is also known as "The Empty Lord, The Lord of the Unknown and as The Great Lord". He arrived to Gielinor in the Second Age, and dominated a vast empire, including, western Asgarnia, Misthalin, North Morytania, The Kharidian Desert and the whole wilderness, which at the time wasn't a destroyed dangerous place. When Guthix started his sleep, Zaros became the most powerful god in all gielinor, and had his own magic and prayers, which were used by his vast and powerful armies. One of his most powerful generals was nobody else than Zamorak, who betrayed him by stealing the Staff of Armadyl, and attacking Zaros to gain domain over all his forces. This happened at the beginning of the Third Age, or also called "The God Wars".
During this period the forces of the newly arrived gods united to defeat Zaros and conquer Gielinor. The forces of Saradomin from the west, and the forces of Zamorak(which were mainly zarosian warriors who betrayed Zaros) united many times to defeat him. Only a few zarosians remained loyal to Zaros, one of those was his general Azzandra, which worked hard to mantain order with zarosians during the war. Azzandra was imprisioned in the Jaldraocht Pyramid, and Zaros was banished from Gielinor, and zamorakians and saradominist destroyed the remaining forces of Zaros. During present times, all followers of Zaros are considered cultists, and it is very rare to find somebody who knows of Zaros. It is because he lived so many years ago, that all items related to Zaros are called "Ancient" since they havent been seen since the Third Age. The only remaining zarosians are mainly Mahjarrat and bandits in the Kharidian Desert.
==Zarosian Powers==
The Ancient Magicks and Ancient Curses aligned to Zaros are mainly for combat,since his forces used to be conquerors, very powerful armies which defeated easily all kind of resistance with the aid of Zaros. The teleportation spells led the caster to the most important fortresses at the time (Paddewwa, Senntisten, Kharyll and Lassar among others, located at Edgeville, The Digsite, Canifis and The Ice Mountain, respectively) Although Zaros is known to be as the god of power, some zarosians are evil, and some are good, even if it isn't Zaros' will.
==Alignment==
Although Zaros' alignment has never been truly affirmed, one can make theories, based on the following points:
*The other god's colors are the same as their alignments (ex. Red=evil,mean/Zamorak=evil, Zamorak's color is red) we would look at Zaros' color purple, which represents power, royalty or wealth.
*One can say that he is a god of balance, since he conquered big territories, never trully being evil or bad at battles.
