The Chosen (Quest Series)

The Chosen is a seven-part quest series which was released on RuneScape from December 2008 onwards on a monthly basis. It follows a storyline involving time travel which follows on from the introduction of the concept in the quest Meeting History which was released earlier in the year.

Overview
Throughout the series the player will travel through time using specific portals to certain places. Initially you travel to one of the final battles of the God Wars known as the Battle of Draynor which results in the Zamorakians escaping battle without being killed and the course of history being altered.

A select few people notice this change in time, including the player, and they form the titular group known as "The Chosen" - and their mission is to put history back on track before Zamorakian forces can fully resurface and claim the world as their own.

For much of the series you find yourself in an alternate world in which Zamorakians have gained a more prominent hold on the world, and things have turned out very different. It is however optional to return to RuneScape where history is on track by entering a portal, as the change in history is yet to hit the main timeline.

Development
The Chosen was developed throughout 2008 around the time that Summoning was completed and released. While most of the Jagex team focused on releasing RuneScape HD, the remaining staff decided to focus on a big project themselves, and felt it was time to develop a new quest series which would be released on a monthly basis.
