So I have heard that if any of a specific group of characters gets killed of in The World Wakes, they get replaced in the game outside of the quest. Runescape's devs have done this before with two of the slayer masters who died in a previous quest. It's sorta neat, different characters will appear in certain areas of the larger game to different players based on what quests the player has done. This has been going on for a while, infact, Amascut is someone for whom the devs have to do this a lot. But those were scripted deaths/disappearances; these are deaths that might or might not happen and characters and character dialogs that may or may not need replacing. There must be quite a large amount of data attached to every player character.

Anyway, one of the characters who may die is a giant earwig named Fiara. She gets replaced by a human monk called Coulson. I was wondering why the hell the name Coulson was coming up in spoiler threads so much. Hee.
