For those not willing to follow the link; the current Runescape map, including blank spaces , is 1 / 19 the size of the RS world.

Earth, I didn’t do this already, however I did post that first map in the forums for a little preview a couple months ago

I have discovered in my journeys to the lighthouse a series of basalt columns which one can hop across. One can not help but notice that the columns are completely vertical. If this region was being subsumed under the Kandarian Plate, as you claim, then the land would experience great tilting and the columns would now be at an angle.

This region must have a storied history. The chemistry suggests that it was once beneath the see. Basalt columns of this sort are the result of very large lava flows in the air (not beneath the sea) but now the area is partly over and partly under water. All this suggests the area has experienced several lifts and descents – but not tilts. I must conclude that the edge of the Kandarian Plate is further North, perhaps under Waterbirth Island itself.

I assume that as the Kandarian Plate slides against the Agsarnian Plate there are earthquakes. If you examine the walls of Falador you will see earthquake damage so sever that you can pass over the wall with ease at one point on its West side. There is also a lake near Taverley near where these plate would slide. This lake looks suspiciously volcanic to me, which fits well with your theories.

Are the swamps of Morytania the last remnants of the see which was once near Varrock? There is a digsite nearby where ancient ruins are being uncovered – what was the land like back when this was an active city?

Thanks so much for the positive feedback!

Maybe years from now we will look back to this article as the genesis of a new science. Let’s not forget that it’s barely a century since plate tectonics were accepted sciences.
