1. The KBD letter from Postbag from the Hedge 33

"Metal wearer,

Your attentions are misplaced. Threats gather quietly, like steam on glass, yet your head is filled with the threads between things. This is the way of the flesh-formed: to attempt to find order when confronted by chaos, even when chaos is fanged and baying.

I have learnt to talk in your terms. Think of dragons as rivers, flowing from a single mountain. The source, material and purpose are kin. Yet, each river carves a path to the purpose in a singular manner, caring not for the others unless their paths cross. While one river may be larger or faster than another, no river can claim to be a relation of another. This abstraction is dragon.

-->Now lift your head from this paper and uncover your compass. At each point sits a danger. You would be wise to take their heads.<--

KBD"

The last part in the letter confirms that this pattern is not a coincidence. There is actually several points that have confirmed relationship with the Dragonkin or Stone of Jas storylines.

2. Dragonkin Symbols

There is two kinds of Dragonkin symbols
-8 pointed compass rose
-Half Stone of Jas and half compass rose

The first symbol can be seen on the castle floors of Tail of Two Cats and While Guthix Sleeps cutscenes. The second symbol is on the center of the floor in the WGS cutscene.

3. What are the Dragonkin

The Dragonkin are powerful vulture-like creatures. They created the Dragons and Dragon equipment. Jas enslaved the Dragonkin to guard his stone (Stone of Jas, a.k.a. Fist of Guthix and Eye of Saradomin).

The Dragonkin probably came from Freneskae, which is also the original homeworld of the Mahjarrat.

Jukat, the fairy who sells Dragon Longswords and Daggers, says that the weapons come straight from Freneskae.

4. The Points of the Compass

The idea of the pattern is drawing a straight line between the opposite sides of the map (e.g. West - East, North - South). It's not possible to post pictures on this forum, so I can't show the pattern.

4.1. NORTH

The icelands. Known as "The North" by the *ahjarrat. The Mahjarrat have their ritual in a part of the icelands. The last battle of the God Wars was fought there. That area is now known as the God Wars Dungeon. The whole God Wars were fought over the Stone of Jas.

Lucien currently has the Stone of Jas. Zamorak has most likely used it too.

(There is also penguins in the icelands, who want to take over the world. It is currently unknown how the Penguin series relates to WGS, but they are mentioned in this thread because they are in the pattern.)

4.2. NORTHEAST

The ruined castle in Wilderness, east of the demonic ruins (Annakarl). If you enter the Spirit Realm portal with Jennica's ring, you'll see the half Stone of Jas and half compass rose symbol on the walls. Movario found the other of the key halves to the Baxtorian Waterfall Ancient Cavern Mithril Door there.

Chaos Elemental. Suspected relationship with the Balance Elemental. Drops Dragon 2H sword.

4.3. EAST

Castle Drakan. It was written in Movario's notes that there is similar energy in Morytania, Fist of Guthix minigame cave and Lunar Isle.

Some players have said that Castle Drakan has similarities to the castle in Tail of Two Cats cutscene.

4.4. SOUTHEAST

The Kharidian desert, near Menaphos and Sophanem. The Sphinx shows the Tail of Two Cats cutscene there. The Desert is another Mahjarrat area.

I'd also guess that the Balance Elemental/Stone of Jas/Tormented Demon cave is somewhere under the Desert.

4.5. SOUTH

Ape Atoll. The monkeys are working with Arposandran gnomes, and the Arposandran gnomes are probably working with the evil Clan Iorwerth elves. Where did the monkeys get the Dragon Scimitars?

4.6. SOUTHWEST

Unreleased, black area south of Poison Waste. I wonder what will be released there. Arposandra, perhaps?

4.7. WEST

Prifddinas/Elven lands. The evil elves of the Clan Iorwerth are trying to open a portal to Zamorak's World to summon their Dark Lord. The Dark Lord is unknown at the moment (note: Zamorak's World doesn't equal Zamorak). I think the world is Freneskae, the world where the Mahjarrat and Dragonkin originated.

The Dark Beasts, Dark Bows (and the Shadow monsters probably too) are obviously from the same world as the Dark Lord. The Dark Bow is the only bow that can fire Dragon arrows, and it even has the special attack "Descent of Dragons" with the Dragon arrows, so there must be a relationship between the Dragonkin and Dark Bows.

4.8. NORTHWEST

Lunar Isle. The Stone of Jas was there, and it turned rocks to Rune Essence. A Fremennik named V------ touched the Stone, and he learnt magic from it. This was how the Moon Clan was founded.

5. Theories

I think these areas and quest series will be involved in future sequels of While Guthix Sleeps quest. Some of them are already involved in WGS.
