The Third Age or the God Wars as it was also known was a time of great calamity in RuneScape. During the Second Age, Zaros had almost complete control of the world. When he was betrayed and defeated by Zamorak, the Second Age ended, and the other gods could now begin ruling without interference. However, many gods, the most significant being Saradomin and Zamorak, wanted complete control. There is also an armour set based off this age: Third age armour. This is some of the last remaining armour that was used during the God Wars.

| - The Third Age or the God Wars as it was also known was a time of great calamity in RuneScape. During the Second Age, Zaros had almost complete control of the world. When he was betrayed and defeated by Zamorak, the Second Age ended, and the other gods could now begin ruling without interference. However, many gods, the most significant being Saradomin and Zamorak, wanted complete control. Soon after Zaros's defeat, a massive war broke out. The gods, at the time, could directly interact with the world, which caused destruction far beyond any seen before or after the wars. During the wars, countless civilizations, races, and animal species disappeared. Many were destroyed, while others hid themselves or went under drastic changes in order to survive. Much of the world itself went under drastic changes, with much of the land being ruined or reformed. Many of these changes were so catastrophic that they continue to affect RuneScape even today. In fact, the entire world was on the brink of destruction when the fighting awoke Guthix from his sleep. Upon the end of the First Age, Guthix went into a deep slumber that stretched over many millennia. When he awoke, he found his world in ruin. He was so enraged that he instantly ended the fighting and demanded that the gods stopped fighting their wars on RuneScape, and to continue to hold influence only through their followers. Most of the gods left RuneScape and travelled to the God Realm, the home of the gods. It was at this time that the Third Age, which had lasted approximately 4,000 years, finally ended. There is also an armour set based off this age: Third age armour. This is some of the last remaining armour that was used during the God Wars.

The gods, at the time, could directly interact with the world, which caused destruction far beyond any that had been seen before or after the Wars. During the Wars, countless civilisations, races, and animal species disappeared. Many were destroyed, while others hid themselves or underwent drastic changes in order to survive. Much of the world itself was mutated; once healthy lands were ruined or reformed. Most of these changes were so devastating that they continue to affect Gielinor today. In fact, the entire world was on the brink of destruction when the fighting awoke Guthix from his sleep. At the end of the First Age, Guthix had gone into a deep slumber that stretched over many millennia. When he awoke, he found the world in ruin. He was so enraged that he instantly demanded that the gods stop fighting their wars on Gielinor, and to continue to hold influence only through their followers. Most of the gods left Gielinor, although they continued to watch over it and hear the prayers of their faithful. It was at this time that the Third Age, which had lasted approximately 4000 years, finally ended. Guthix planted a massive sword inscribed with mysterious letters into the crater of a volcano in the centre of the destroyed Forinthry region as a warning to the other gods not to break his edicts. On 28 August 2007, a massive cavern that had been frozen for eons in the northern Troll Country began to thaw due to tectonic movements in the Wilderness. This cavern was the site of one of the God Wars' last battles; the monsters within have not realised that the God Wars are over and thus continued to fight with undaunted fervour. Players are able to explore the dungeon, but it is extremely dangerous. Though it is a massive battle, with hundreds of monsters and warriors fighting for their gods with no end in sight, it pales in comparison to the bloody carnage that was the Third Age. The Oracle mentioned that as long as the object the God Wars searched for remained hidden, the God Wars would remain dead.
