SPOILERS FOR TWILIGHT OF THE GODS!

Just to be clear, I'm not complaining about the boss kills required; I think these are absolutely fine (except Vorago for T90 because screw group PvM, but I am told this is optional anyway).

However, for T80 power armour we're told to get Zaryte fragments from Nex, and for T90 armour (not there yet) I am told we have to kill Ambassador, and possibly Solak. The lorefail is that these bosses don't exist on Gielinor currently; Necromancy chronologically takes place after Zamorak's banishment (and after Fort Forinthry) - Nex was banished from Gielinor when we re-enacted the Edicts, as shown at the end of Twilight of the Gods, Ambassador was killed by us at the end of Curse of the Black Stone (which while ambiguous, I am fairly sure is meant to take place before TotG) and Solak we've probably freed from Erethdor by now.

We're also told to beat the GWD1 generals and use a hammer on their altars for the T70 standard gear, even though in lore the GWD1 area is abandoned, at the very least by all the generals.

I wonder if a small bit of dialogue can be added to fix this, e.g. suggesting we're fighting manifested memories of these bosses or something? I do appreciate the boss kills being requirements (except Vorgo), but as ingame it does kinda break the lore.

Spoiler for Tomes of the Necromancer: We're also directed to Dr Nabanik as if he were still Azzanadra; in fact we explicitly say as much. However Azzanadra was also banished at the end of Twilight of the Gods. Dr Nabanik is presumably currently Wahisietel; he infact still has placeholder dialogue from Azzanadra's quest saying this. The quest just needs a minor dialogue tweak to say he's Wahisietel rather than Azzanadra, though I also think Dr Nabanik's "Azzanadra? What are you doing here" option needs cleaning up since it never got updated after Battle of the Monolith. Of course neither of them should have been there from Battle of the Monolith to the end of Extinction anyway, but that's probably too much to ask for an explanation for...

Wait do you HAVE to kill those bosses or is there a ritual alternative?

These bosses are for the power variant of the armour which is intended to be a little more challenging, for the tank version you would need to fight the barrows bosses for t70, then gw1 bosses for t80 and gw2 bosses for t90

Your right in a choice at t70 and I am fairly sure if you wished to own both sets you could create a second set to go down the path you originally didn't take.

Personally I am gonna be taking the tank armour until I am more confident in my bossing skills but I believe for the power bosses you can bring friends to help aswell
