Ritual of the Mahjarrat

The Ritual of the Mahjarrat (ROTM) is a planned future quest, and has been confirmed to be the final quest of the Mysteries of the Mahjarrat quest series. While current information is limited, it has been stated that the quest will be Grandmaster, and that Sliske, a strange, mysterious Mahjarrat subject to much speculation, will be involved in it. Based on the title, it is very likely that the The Ritual of Rejuvenation will take place during the quest, supported by the fact that it will be a Grandmaster quest (which would perfectly contain such a large and dramatic event). This quest will also tie with While Guthix Sleeps, Curse of Arrav, A Tail of Two Cats, The Temple at Senntisten, and Cabin Fever, as confirmed by Paul at RuneFest. The Chaos Elemental hinted that more than one Mahjarrat will die in the quest.

Paul Gower stated that 78 Woodcutting, 83 Fletching and 65 Dungeoneering will NOT be requirements for the quest. He stated that they were likely requirements for a different one, contradicting words of Mod Ash earlier.



However, 77 Agility is believed to be a requirement for the quest, as it is needed to jump across a gap in a building on Kethsi, which is the destination reached when using a Fairy ring combination displayed in Paul's blog, but many players have argued that the 77 Agility shortcut might just lead to a special after-quest "reward" agility course as there is no direct confirmation that this Agility shortcut has anything to do with the quest.

Confirmed facts
In the latest Development diary and hidden updates, some facts have been revealed through text, images, and ingame content.
 * The quest will involve Kethsi and Mos Le'Harmless.
 * Mahjarrat (or at least Zemouregal) will receive a graphical update.
 * The rewards include equipment for mages and rangers.
 * There will be a lot of history in it, especially on the Third Age.
 * There will be lots of new areas and puzzles, as well as combat, but not as hard as Nomad as it is more storyline- than combat-orientated.
 * There will be "some Mahjarrat death", which the player has no choice in.
 * The quest will leave some loose ends on some storyline.
 * A major plotline, "which has only really been touched on before", begins in earnest during the quest.
 * While Guthix Sleeps, Temple at Senntisten, Curse of Arrav, Cabin Fever, A Tail of Two Cats, and the Fairy Tale Series are all confirmed requirement quests. Enakhra's Lament, Hazeel Cult, and the Shadow Sword miniquest are also highly likely, since these all involve Mahjarrat.
 * It will be released in October 2012, and won't be as good as people think "

Trivia

 * There was a leak on Facebook on 8 June 2011 that this quest would be released July that year, which was removed quickly after it appeared. After this, Mod Mark confirmed this was not true, and should not have been added to facebook at all, as seen on the image below.
