Gieliverse

Gieliverse is the term used to refer to the continuity which the series Gielinor takes place in. It is identical to the original universe, but being set only slightly after the events of RuneScape contains a few minor alterations and additions to various locations and later events.

Monarchies
One of the main differences is that as of the end of Volume One, King Lathas who was introduced as the villain for Volume One has lost his role as King of East Ardougne, and has been banished to West Ardougne. He has been succeeded by his former servant Harmon Reeves who did not appear in the game at all ("The Battle of Ardougne").

The leader of Tai Bwo Wannai Village is Kumthalatta, another character not in the game ("The Cult of the Golden Ape").

King Vallance is also seen to be alive, having been absent due to poor health, as mentioned briefly in the game ("The Claws of Sharkros").

Technology
The technology of Gielinor has not altered. The only significant development is that the TzHaar use a precognitive Ark in order to study images from the future, and see lava launching devices that can be carried in a fighter's arms ("The Socialist Stratagem") which they then use to fight with ("The Battle of Ardougne"), and are also scavenged by Fort Avias after the Economy War ("The Fortified Sky").

Gielinor Itself
The world itself is also slightly different, as the effects of global warming have increased in the past few years as of Volume Two and has badly damaged Musa Point ("Storm") and flooded various other locations ("The Claws of Sharkros"), though these effects are only temporary. The rise in temperature has also triggered Crandor's dormant volcano to erupt ("The Storm of Ash") which damaged the landscape of the island and its ash damages Kandarin and parts of Asgarnia ("The End of Days").

The TzHaar city laso suffered serious damage after a TzTok-Jad went rampant and destroyed the walls, flooding the city with water and killing several TzHaar ("The Rising Heat").

The Gods
Guthix is summoned at one point from his eternal sleep to deal with the matter that Humanity pose a threat to the rest of the world ("The Claws of Sharkros"). He is then left in a medetative state pondering on this point ("The Oceanic Empire").

Armadyl also left his Aviantese a flying fort named Fort Avias to defend Gielinor from the sky, should another threat on the scale of the God Wars arise ("The Fortified Sky"). Little known about or used, it is destroyed by the Oceanic Empire when they invade Falador ("The Oceanic Empire").
