History in Gielinor
Zanik is an adventuring goblin of the Dorgeshuun tribe from the mainland of Gielinor. Like most of the Dorgeshuun, Zanik was isolated within the underground city of Template:RSL, when they opened their doors to the surface, after an Template:RSL managed to convince them, she was the first of her tribe to explore the surface world. Her exploration and Template:RSLs had led her to befriend the same adventurer who was her tour guide as well.
Sometime during her time with dealing with an organisation known as Template:RSL, Zanik had come to learn that she was the Template:RSL of Dragonwilds:Bandos, the god of war. He had attempted to take control of her to force her into fulfilling a prophecy within his followers' belief, where she would lead the goblins and the rest of the bandosians to war with a promise of victory, but it was really an attempt to bypass the Template:RSL. However, the same adventurer she had befriended helped her escape her fate and put a stop to Bandos before he could fulfill his prophecy without her. After these events, having been declared a hero by her people, she left the city and took up an adventuring career, making new friends and helping those in need.
After the death of Dragonwilds:Guthix, and the start of the Dragonwilds:Sixth Age, Zanik joined a group known as the Template:RSL, as their emissary's speech had inspired her, although seeing flaws in their organisation. She was there to witness Bandos' death, aftering losing a battle against Dragonwilds:Armadyl. This is where she realized that her soul was connected to Bandos, where she is slowly dying as he was no longer alive. After protecting her people with her adventurer friend, who is now known as the World Guardian, by the bandosians, who Template:RSL for Bandos' death, Zanik had passed away in Template:RSL. She would be later assist the world guardian in stopping an crazed sorcerer from Template:RSL using the souls of the underworld.
In this event, the player in Template:RSL (RS3) can decide if she should return to live her life again, or remain dead. Should they pick for her to live, she is allowed to return to the world of the living and would continue her adventuring career while protecting the Template:RSL.
After some time, she was sent to represent the underworld in a Template:RSL made to deal with the Dragonwilds:Elder Gods and became a digsite manager for the Template:RSL.
Adventure in Ashenfall
Sometime after the Elder Gods' threat, Zanik was visited by Cathan, who requested that she join an expedition to Ashenfall. She declined at first, but would change her mind after hearing of a lost tribe of goblins. Meeting with the other team members, they set sail from Template:RSL's dock and headed north from the mainland. Zanik would be one of the few surviving members of the expedition team and assisted the rest in exploring the Dragonwilds:Temple Woods, where they uncovered the continent's own version of rune essence. After helping repair the Dragonwilds:lodestone within the Dragonwilds:Temple of Saradomin, Zanik would wait for new adventurer(s) as well, to teach them how to runecraft there and continue ahead to Dragonwilds:Brynmoor.
She would explore the region, learning a bit about the goblins, and request the assistance of the new adventurer(s) in locating strange sources of power, where she connects them to her previous fate, when Bandos attempted to control them. She would then appear in Fellhollow, where she requests help in putting the unrest spirits there to rest.
