I've got a lot of these.


 * SPOILERS BELOW, POSTING THIS SO PEOPLE DON'T SEE IT IN RECENT ACTIVITY**

- The inherent connection to death that the Mahjarrat have is actually based on Seren as much as it is in Zaros- specifically, the part of her that she rejected, making the Dark Lord. It's why Icthlarin was also able to reason with them all so well, being a god of death himself.

-Temekel <- this guy supported the Mahjarrat leaving. He was the most powerful at the time; more powerful than Zamorak or Azzanadra, but there's no memory of him joining the Zarosian empire. He was likely dead before then. I'd like to think he may have taken the side of the desert pantheon, or died in Tumeken's blast.

- Enahkra worked actively to kill other female mahjarrat off and as a result ensured her own survival. And really,out of anybody that was at the last lore ritual, she was the one who was least likely to be sacrificed off, because if she dies, the race dies.

- On that note, mahjarrat used to call mating the "ritual of enervation" due to calming Mah down during the earthquakes she created; it's been reversed and is now the ritual of rejuvination on Gielinor. It's not hard to imagine that it takes a lot of energy for a mahjarrat to have a kid and afterwards they'll be weakened immensely- it may well have been why Palkeera died. So, if a female mahj has kids, it's explosive, it's volatile, and other mahj KNOW. It puts them at a greater risk at a ritual due to weakness but also gives them immunity to a degree because they've proven willing to help ensure their race's survival.

- Muspah and their assorted nightmarish creatures are very, very much real- this has been shown during FotG. It's not a stretch to imagine that they've had a huge impact on their culture. Maybe Jhallan wasn't such a loser after all for having the nightmares.
