==Gods==
The gods of RuneScape are ranked from 1 to 7, with the elder gods elder gods at rank 1, and young gods ranked from 2 to 7.
===Elder Gods===
The Elder Gods are six extremely powerful being whose origin is unknown.  They have the power to create planets and are impossible to kill under normal circumstances.  The known elder gods are Jas, the goddess of sand and the most powerful of them, Ful, the goddess of fire, Wen, the goddess of Ice, Bik, the goddess of forests, and Mah, the goddess of light and darkness.  The sixth elder god is unknown, and is implied to be more abstract than the others.  They fill the universe with planets until they manage to create a perfect world, after this they go to sleep for hundreds of thousands of years before they wake up and are reborn.  After this they destroy all the planets they created except for the perfect world, which turns into a [[Death World]], and then start the cycle all over again.  
===Young Gods===
Most of the young gods are former mortals who ascended to godhood using the power of the twelve artifacts that the elder gods left behind, especially the Stone of Jas.  It is also possible for a mortal to ascend to godhood by killing a god and taking their power, or by a god giving some of their power to a mortal.  Only Zaros and Seren are the direct creations of an elder god.

====Saradomin====
Saradomin is the rank 4 god of order.  Saradomin is an ascended human and looks and old man with blue skin.  His church resembles Catholicism.  He is bitter rivals with Zamorak because of their opposing philosophies.  In the distance past he was a horrible tyrant who demanded all bow down to him but has come to regret his actions and wishes to redeem himself.  His symbol is a four pointed star.

====Guthix====
Guthix is the rank 2 god of balance.  He is the last survivor of a race called the Naragi.  Guthix's followers believe a philosophy of balance between good and evil and order and chaos.  Guthix actually hates being worshiped because he despises most of the other gods.  He is responsible for banishing most of the other gods from Gielinor at the end of the 3rd Age.  His symbol is a wavy vertical line that thickens at the bottom, representing an upside-down snake.

====Zamorak====
Zamorak is the rank 4 god of chaos.  He was a Mahjarrat and one of Zaros's generals before he betrayed Zaros and stole his power.  He teaches his followers a philosophy of survival of the fittest.  His symbol is a pair of horns, or an upside-down lowercase omega (not the [[Ultramarines]] symbol, that is an uppercase omega).

====Zaros====
Zaros is the rank 2 god of control.  He is the son of the elder god Mah, and brother to Seren.  Zaros is emotionless and pragmatic, although he does believe in the value of mortal life, and wants to keep the elder gods from destroying the universe.  He once ruled over a massive empire resembling the Roman Empire before he was betrayed and nearly killed by Zamorak.  He was left an incorporeal spirit by the attempted assassination and remained that way until he is restored back to a physical form with the help of the player.  Most of his followers were wiped out and the survivors were either imprisoned or went into hiding.  Anyone who is around Zaros for a prolonged time will become loyal to him, although the effect is not permanent and he can't turn this ability off.  Zaros is an eight-eyed humanoid made of purple crystal, although his body is always concealed by his clothing.  His symbol resembles a Celtic cross with the inside of the circle rotated 45 degrees.

====Seren====
Seren is the rank 2 goddess of harmony.  She is the daughter of the elder god Mah and sister to Zaros.  Seren is opposite of her brother, being passionate and kind.  She is worshiped by the elves.  She once attempted to grant immortality to the elves, but only succeeded in extending their lifespans at the cost of making them addicted to her presence.  When Guthix forced most of the other powerful gods to leave Gielinor before going to sleep, he demanded that Seren go to sleep with him, but she could not do it due to the elves' dependency on her and so shattered herself into pieces so she could stay with them in a weakened form.  The elven capital city was built out of her remains.  She eventually is reformed with the help of the player character.  Anyone who is around Seren for a prolonged period will gain feelings of adoration for her, although the effect is not permanent and she can't turn this ability off.  Seren is an eight-eyed humanoid made of cyan crystal.  Seren and Zaros avoid each other because of their different philosophies and because they are not immune to each other's powers and don't want to become charmed to each other again.  Her symbol is a diamond.

====Bandos====
Bandos is the rank 3 god of war.  Probably inspired by [[Gruumsh]].  He looks like an armored rhinoceros man with three eyes and one missing eye.  He is worshiped mainly by goblins and ogres and other races from Yu'biusk, although goblins never say his name and simply call him The Big High War God.  He commands that his followers be violent and stupid.  He ascended to godhood by killing the previous god of his world, which resulted in the extinction of his race because said god was the only thing keeping the planet from being destroyed by meteors, and he knew this would happen and didn't care.  After his ascension, he conquered the planet of Yu'biusk, and brought its races to Gielinor.  During the God Wars he frequently changed sides just to prolong the war, and after he was banished he had all of his followers on Yu'biusk turn on each other, which eventually killed all life on the planet and left it a polluted and blackened dead world.  He attempted to return to Gielinor by transforming a goblin into an avatar for himself in order to circumvent the Edicts of Guthix blocking him from entering personally, but his plan was stopped by the player character.  The destruction of his avatar downgraded him to a rank 4 god.  His symbol is a stylized kyzaj, a fictional axe like weapon.

====Armadyl====
Armadyl is the rank 4 god of justice.  His is a member of a race of bird people and one of the nicest of the major gods, as he wants to protect mortals rather than rule over them.  He abandoned Gielinor in the 3rd age when he thought that his race has been wiped out.  He despises Bandos for being the god of war.  And he also hates Zamorak for causing the death of his [[Gay|second husband]].  His symbol is a pair of wings.

====Ictharlin====
Ictharin is the rank 6 god of the dead.  He is part of a family of eight gods worshiped by the people of the Kharidian Desert.  He is based of the Egyptian god Anubis.  He was the one responsible for bringing the Mahjarrat race to Gielinor during a war with Zaros, which backfired on him spectacularly as they ended up switching sides and forced his father Tumeken to sacrifice himself to wipe most of them out.  As a rank 6 god, he was spared from being banished by Guthix.  He protects souls in the afterlife from his insane sister Amascut, who seeks to devour the souls of the dead.  His symbol resembles an ankh.

====Brassica Prime====
Brassica Prime is the rank 5 god of deliciousness.  Brassica Prime is a giant cabbage and is also a complete lunatic.  Jagex originally created Brassica Prime as an April Fool's Day joke but later made him a canon character.  It still has not been explained how a cabbage became a god.  Brassica Prime is the only god ranked above 6 that Guthix allowed to remain active on Gielinor after the God Wars, due to him being good for the health of the planet, and because very few people bother to worship him because of his insanity.  Zamorak is actually afraid of him because all forms of plant life on Gielinor are his spies and servants and suspects that Brassica Prime is only pretending to be insane.  His symbol is a cabbage.

====Marinbo====
Marimbo is the rank 5 goddess of hedonism.  She was originally a non-sapient gorilla who accidentally ascended to godhood by beating a god in a drinking contest and stealing their power.  After her ascension she shared her new intelligence with the rest of monkey and ape kind.  Although she is one of the nicest gods and isn't interested in fighting, her monkey and ape followers are very xenophobic and militaristic.  Her symbol is a diamond with a line at the bottom corner and the top corner cut off.

====V====
V is the rank 5 god of heroes, worshiped by the Fremennik tribes.  He is the inventor of the art of runecrafting, which enables mortals to create the rune stones that make casting spells easy for anyone.  His real name is unknown, though often goes by an alias starting with the letter V.  His symbol is a stylized V.

====Xau-Tak====
Xau-Tak is a god of unknown rank of oceans and undeath.  He seems to be RuneScape's version of Cthulhu, only instead of looking like a squid dragon thing, what we have seen of his so far has been nothing but hands made of black stone.  He is slowly spreading his corruption through the world of Gielinor.  His symbol is unknown.
