== Chapter One Glossary ==

Earth: A planet outside of the RuneScape universe.

In RuneScape: A New Saga, this world is set in the twenty-first century (early 2020 to mid-2020).

Third Age (Gielinor): This is a period of Gielinorian history where entire armies of gods (mostly Saradomin, Zamorak, Bandos, and Zaros) fought over the mainland. The scars of this age persist to the current age. It is also known as the period of the God Wars.

Fifth Age (Gielinor): This is the age where adventurers slowly became more and more popular and is the setting of both RuneScape (2001 to 2013) and Old School RuneScape. This age ended in the main RuneScape game with the death of Guthix.

Sixth Age (Gielinor): This is the current age of the main RuneScape game from 2013 to the present. With the death of Guthix, this age saw the return of the gods, destruction of the Stone of Jas, and the Elder God Wars. It is also during this age that Guthix gave Gielinor its last World Guardian.
