I need a WG story that is so epic, it will win the Golden Gnomes.
No jokes and stuff please.
I need a powerful storyline to animate.

Now if I may please my ego for a moment.
I usually only trust myself to write WG stories.
But I'm having a blank here.

We need to brainstorm.

Something that captures WG's spirit. Combat related.
Something I haven't done before.
Something that fits in 2 minutes.

I'm thinking this:

1.The creation of the world of Geilenor in the first age.
2. Zamorak, God of Chaos, forges the wilderness to the north, burning down forest and resurrecting volcanoes, creating the land we now know.
3. The WILDERNESS GUARDIANS remain to protect what's left of the wilderness before chaos brings it to an end. There will be a speech with NOTHING LEFT referenced.
4. Massive clan battle
5. Aftermath, with a seedling growing out through the eye of a skull, showing the dichotomy of life and death, and the plain message of the Wilderness Guardians: We are the shield of the innocent and the scourge of chaos.

Honestly, I think the seedling out of the skill is a truly inspirational idea. Sounds great.

In fairness my creativity isn't up to much but I'll think about it over the next couple of hours and see if I can come up with anything.

While I was lying in bed trying to sleep I thought up the narrative.
Must type before I forget.

"This is no short story.
It began with the creation of Gielenor, by the power of the great gods.
[... cinematic of the creation of mountains, trees, animals, rivers etc...]
Yet for all their wisdom, they could not share their own creation.
In the third age, the gods turned on each other in a great war, to claim dominance over the world.
[... cinematic of a meteor crashing into the forest, creating the wilderness. volcanoes rising out of ground, balls of flame, explosions, black unicorns running wild...]
The destruction of Gielenor was drawing close.
[... ground trembling, Guthix unleashing awesome force against the armies of the gods...]
Then, amidst the bloodshed, Guthix, god of balance, awoke from his slumber, and banished the gods from the realm.
[... moment of black...]
It was time for a new race to claim the world.
[... cinematic of the rise of mankind. Castles built, towns, farms... pan to the wilderness ditch...]
Centuries later, the god wars are all but forgotten, though a few remain who still remember.
This wilderness is the final corner of the world where man seeks to finish what the Gods began... and we are its Guardians.
[... the Wilderness Guardians cross the wilderness ditch majestically. We get the very start of a battle scene...]
[... title screen: The Wilderness Guardians: The legendary warring clan]
[Fade to black]"

This could be some inspiration

Flashbacks would make it cool. Have the Wilderness act as the outcome of a massive war where there once were harmony, love and peace.

Something like the fallen angels of heaven. The wild was good then went barren because of greed and lack of honor. We are trying to rid the wild of the bad to let it grow to be good again.

Thank you Garrett and Dallar.
“The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems
is the day you have stopped leading them.
They have either lost confidence that you can help them
or concluded that you do not care.
Either case is a failure of leadership.”

With 3, I think it'd be better if the wilderness was shown as a place inhabited by normal people, zamorak takes it over and destroys it - we venture in from all over the lands to come and protect the survivors and stop people from preying on them

any good?

because if you think about it, there are structures and ruins still in the wilderness, and old paths - couldn't have ONLY been forest

Just to inspire you a bit:

rcer gets pked, His Lordship kills rc pker, you walk to varrock and along the way people follow you, like the group gets bigger, wg arrives at juliets house, screen fades to black with some cool audio and after like 5 seconds wg is at greater demons fighting in p2p (based on a real fight)

I have a concept but it's well over 7 minutes, and can't be fully done at only 2.

The seed/skull is a brilliant concept, I like that though.
