Dialogue is listed below;

Dialogue
Player: You told me how to thaw out the Muspah, I thought I should keep my part of the bargain.

Ali the Wise: Oh! So you have some information for me? I must record this!

Player: To start with, the Muspah wasn't what it appears to be. It turned out to be alive all along, and once I'd freed it, it... changed. It told me it was a Mahjarrat. It was quite a shock to suddenly see its head was a skull.

Ali the Wise: The Muspah creature was a Mahjarrat in disguise?

Player: Yes, he's called Jhallan. He was incredibly weak and wanted to hibernate under the Mahjarrat ritual site. I found him somewhere peaceful and put him back to sleep. Apparently the ritual will rejuvenate any Mahjarrat nearby.

Ali the Wise: We know where to find him again, should we ever need to. Well, that creature in the ice has given me much to think about. I've started to research these Mahjarrat; I'm worried they may be a threat to us humans. We need to collaborate to gather as much information as possible.

You can continue your conversation provided you've completed specified quests;

Player: I have more interesting information about the Mahjarrat. Ali the Wise: Good, good, I'm always happy to compile more information on these creatures. They are of great interest to me.

After the completion of Enakhra's Lament
Player: I encountered a pair of Mahjarrat called Enakhra and Akthanakos. Enakhra has imprisoned Akthanakos in the form of a creature called a "boneguard". The imprisonment spell seemed to require her constant supervision, though. I ended up breaking the deadlock and now they say they're headed to the north to continue their fight there.

Ali the Wise: Why would they be heading to the north before resuming their fight, I wonder? I guess it's something to do with the ritual. It seems unusual that they were embroiled in such a fight outside the Ritual, anyway.

Player: Apparently they've always been rivals, but it seems they also had religious differences. Enakhra is a follower of Zamorak and Akthanakos follows a god called Zaros.

Ali the Wise: A Mahjarrat following Zaros? Interesting.

Player: So, you've heard of Zaros?

Ali the Wise: Yes, there are some reference to him in ancient texts that I have run across. From what I gather, he once had followers who were fiercely loyal to him; what has become of him now, I don't know.

After the completion of Defender of Varrock
Player: A Mahjarrat called Zemouregal tried to invade Varrock with an army of zombies!

Ali the Wise: Ooh, can you tell me more? That's big enough news that rumours of it have already been circulating down here.

Player: Yes, his army was lead by an ancient hero Arrav, who Zemouregal managed to enslave. A man named Dimintheis managed to defeat the zombie army with an artefact called the Shield of Arrav. Oh, and I helped quite a lot, if I do say so myself.

After the completion of the Temple of Ikov
Aide to the Guardians of Armadyl;

Player: I met a strange person called Lucien - I believe he was a Mahjarrat. He certainly looked similar to Jhallan. He was trying to steal a powerful artefact called the "Staff of Armadyl". He wasn't actually all the strong, I managed to just about defeat him in combat, but he escaped before I could finish him off.

Ali the Wise: Hmm, this is quite interesting. From what I've heard of Mahjarrat, I wouldn't have expected him to be such a weak foe. I guess that fact it's not long until the ritual means that are weakening a bit.

Player: It doesn't seem to have stopped him getting up to some mischief, though.

Ali the Wise: The staff of Armadyl, you say? I've heard of Armadyl; an obscure deity from around the Third Age. Very interesting that a Mahjarrat would be after an artefact attributed to him. Sounds like it might be powerful. [note that attributed was spelt missing the ‘r’]

Continued provided you have received Armadyl's Communiqué. Player: Unfortunately, I've heard that Lucien has managed to capture the Staff of Armadyl despite my efforts. A message I received indicates a mage called Movario obtained it for him.

Ali the Wise: I'm not sure of all the implications of this. that could be a powerful artefact. We're going to need to keep an eye out for this Lucien fellow now.

After the completion of the Ghostly Robes miniquest (aka, the Curse of Zaros)
Player: I've managed to find out more about the Staff of Armadyl. I'm told Zamorak used it to defeat Zaros and become a god himself.

Ali the Wise: It's really that powerful? Does it mean that Lucien is trying to follow in Zamorak's footsteps and become a god? who knows what chaos would come to pass if that were to happen.

After the completion of the Shadow Sword miniquest
Player: I've run into General Khazard in the shadow Realm. I think he's a Mahjarrat.

Ali the Wise: You were in the Shadow Realm? Goodness me, how did you manage to get there?

Player: I guess I've picked up a lot of useful bits and pieces on my adventures.

Ali the Wise: Did you find out anything of interest from him?

Player: Yes, he was sending this message to his followers: "The planets are nearing alignment; we will meet in the place of half light and ice soon. Beware of the others, for though they are weak and few, they are cunning." Mean anything to you?

Ali the Wise[note that the player is shown as speaking, probably a mistake by Jagex]: Hmmm...I'm not sure exactly. I guess the place of half light and ice could be the Ritual area. The bit about the planets aligning is interesting.

After the completion of Desert Treasure
Player: I inadvertently freed a being called Azzanadra from a pyramid to the west of here.

Ali the Wise: That name sounds familiar. Is he a Mahjarrat?

Player: I think he might be.

Ali the Wise: so, what was he like? Was he another conniving and evil follower of Zamorak?

Player: Well, now you come to mention it, he wasn't a follower of Zamorak and he was actually rather helpful. He taught me a bunch of new spells. I'm not convinced he's entirely trustworthy, but he doesn't seem all that bad either.

Ali the Wise: It's all very interesting. You know it does increasingly seem that not all these Mahjarrat are completely evil. Not to the extent some people would have you believe, anyway. There does seem to be a bit of a mix of personality types, like with many other races.

After the completion of Hazeel Cult
Aide to Hazeel's cult (although the player's part isn't mentioned)

Player: I've found out about a slain Mahjarrat named Hazeel. There's a whole cult dedicated to reviving him in Ardougne.

Ali the Wise: So this cult is helping the Mahjarrat?

Player: Yes, they said they're faithful to Lord Zamorak, and seem to be in awe of the Mahjarrats' power.

Ali the Wise: It's fascinating how people of a particular nature flock to power.

Player: I actually managed to infiltrate the cult. I saw Hazeel in the flesh!

Ali the Wise: But...you said he'd been slain!

Player: The cult was successful in reviving him, though he seemed very weak.

Ali the Wise: This Hazeel, is he still in Ardougne?

Player: No, he said he was heading north where he'd regain his strength.

Ali the Wise: North...up to the Ritual Site, I dare say. so Jhallan isn't the only Mahjarrat in dire need of rejuvenation.

After the completion of While Guthix Sleeps
Information gathered after completing While Guthix Sleeps would be appreciated.

"What do we know so far?"
Player: So what information do we have compiled so far?

(would require updating to include information gathered from While Guthix Sleeps)

Triva

 * Prior to this dialogue, there was no ingame confirmation on whether the Mahjarrat is a race or a tribe (as bothed are implied in the Postbag from the Hedge. It agrees with Colonel Thormen that the Mahjarrat is a race.
 * The Shadow Realm has never been formally mentioned by that name prior to this quest outside the fanbase.
