Mahjarrat quest series

The Mahjarrat Quest Series is a group of quests that involve the Mahjarrat, a race of mysterious shape-shifters from another realm, Freneskae. It is one of the oldest quest series but is different in many regards due to it not having a set order to complete it in.

Shield of Arrav
The legendary shield of Arrav, used by the famous hero himself, has been stolen. The shield, which had been in the keeping of Varrock Museum, has been broken in two halves and these have been taken by two feuding gangs in Varrock. The player learns about this from Reldo in Varrock Palace. To get the shield halves back from the gangs, the player has to join one of them and have another player join the other. The players must then work together to obtain both halves. So, this quest cannot be completed without another player. If the player chooses to join the Phoenix gang, they will need to kill Johnny the Beard and bring the report he drops to the leader of the Phoenix gang, Straven. The player will become a member of the gang and can then get a half of the shield from the Phoenix gang's hideout. If the player chooses to join the Black Arm Gang, they will need to kill the Weaponsmaster and steal two Phoenix crossbows from the rivalling gang. These must be brought to the leader of the Black Arm gang, Katrine. The player will become a member of the gang and can then get a half of the shield from the Black Arm gang's hideout. When the player has one half, and their partner has the other, they can both complete the quest.

Desert Treasure
In the desert, the player meets a man called Asgarnia Smith, who gives the player a simple task. This, however, leads to a long chain of events, leading the player to discover the Four Diamonds of Azzanadra. After the player obtains the four diamonds from their guardians, the player is told to place the diamonds in obelisks at an ancient Pyramid. The player then enters the pyramid, and after avoiding traps, mummies, and scarab swarms, arrives at the centre chamber to discover an ancient mahjarrat named Azzanadra. Azzanadra reveals he has been trapped here for millennia, and thanks the player for freeing him, thus earning the help and aid of Azzanadra.

Defender of Varrock
Strange zombie sightings have been reported in the Wilderness, and the player is sent to investigate. A dungeon beneathe the Chaos Temple is discovered to house an army of Armoured zombies under the command of Zemouregal. The player also contacts an undead Arrav, under almost complete control of Zemouregal. After reporting the situation to the Varrock Guards, the player is sent to find Imcando dwarves and get their help in repairing the Shield of Arrav and unlocking its true power. While using the Sacred forge, the player becomes aware of the fact that an attack on Varrock is already underway. The player must then find a direct descendant of the Elders of Avarrocka who would be able to wield the Shield. Dimintheis, being such a descendant, is able to kill the attacking army using the shield.

While Guthix Sleeps
The Mahjarrat Lucien is growing stronger and efforts are starting to be made against him. The player is sent to Thaerisk Cemphier to learn about how Lucien is gaining power by using the Staff of Armadyl and how Movario is assisting him on stealing an item of immense power. After a trip to Movario's base, the player reports to the White Knights and tells them about this. The player then recruits eight heroes to apprehend Lucien when the time is right. After capturing a spy and learning about his master, the player heads to the Black Knights' Fortress and captures the spy's master who is revealed to be the powerful Dagon'hai mage, Surok Magis. After questioning him and stealing his robes, the player is teleported to Lucien's camp near the God Wars Dungeon disguised as Surok. Lucien attacks the player after realising he is not Surok, but before he can kill the player the eight heroes Hazelmere, Turael, Duradel, Mazchna, Ghommal, Sloane, Harrallak, and Cyrisus come to aid. Lucien quickly disposes of all but Harrallack and Mazchna and teleports away. After the heading into the Ancient Guthix Temple the player fights the very powerful Balance Elemental. Once the Balance Elemental is dead, it is revealed that the artefact Lucien was after is the Stone of Jas, a very powerful artefact that can grant the possessor God like powers. Lucien and Movario go to the temple and find the player near the stone. Lucien takes the artefact and summons two Tormented Demons to finish the player off. After he and Movario get away, the player defeats the demons and talks to Idria, a follower of Armadyl who reveals some secrets about the legendary Dragonkin.

The Tale of the Muspah
A young Fremennik guides the player to a cave that he has found on the snow-covered border between Rellekka and the Troll County. In the cave, the player discovers what they believe to be a Muspah, a fearsome yeti-like monster, frozen in a block of ice. When the player melts the block of ice, the Muspah awakens and returns to its former self, a Mahjarrat named Jhallan. Long ago he was chased by Zamorakians to the cave, where he fell asleep and morphed into the shape of a Muspah after a nightmare he had. The transformation sapped too much of his energy and he went in a hibernation to preserve his power. After regaining some strength he informs the player that he has to find a safer place to recover his power, the ideal site being at the Mahjarrat Ritual site-also known as the North; a hidden, frozen plateau north of Rellekka. There, at the right time, he and the other Mahjarrat will fight to the death, with the winners being fully endowed and restored to power. However, Jhallan is too weak to fight so instead hides beneath in the Mahjarrat Ritual site. Jhallan has the player find a suitable location and, after the Mahjarrat gives him some advice and a token of achievement, the player freezes him in a block of ice to peacefully await his rejuvenation.

Missing My Mummy
A pyramid called Uzer Mastaba is discovered just south of Uzer. It has been untouched since the God Wars, and the player is sent to explore it. During the quest, the player navigates the pyramid, searching for any information that may prove useful. At the end of the quest, the player finds the tomb of the Pharaoh Queen and restores it. This releases the spirit of the Queen, who tells the player about the Mahjarrat.

The Curse of Arrav
The player is sent to investige a tunnel that apparently led right underneath the Mahjarrat Ritual site. While excavating the tunnel the player finds four diary entries of Lamistard. The tunnel ends in the basement of Zemouregal's northern base, upon emerging from the basement the player is confronted by Arrav. After a short dialogue in which Arrav explains that his heart is placed under a spell he is teleported to aid Zemouregal elsewhere. Upon the instruction of Senliten the player returns to Zemouregal's southern base and places Arrav's heart in a canopic jar.

The Temple at Senntisten
The player meets Azzanadra from the quest Desert Treasure once more. Once the player obtains permission from the Head Archaeologist at the Digsite for Azzanadra to restore the Zarosian temple beneath the Digsite, Azzanadra sends the player on a mission to obtain two items: the Barrows icon, from the Barrows in Morytania, and the Frostenhorn, from the Ghorrock fortress in the north. When the player takes these two items back to Azzanadra, the player must get the Entrana Relic from the Assassin. The Assassin is located nearby, on the Digsite. Once the player brings this final item to Azzanadra, the Zarosian temple will be restored and Azzanadra will once again be able to communicate with the banished god Zaros. Zaros will instruct Azzanadra on how to best help him with his return.

The Ritual of the Mahjarrat
This quest is the final quest in the 'Mysteries of the Mahjarrat' quest series. It is a Grandmaster quest and features the Mahjarrat Sliske for the first time. The quest features the Ritual of Rejuvenation, a ritual that happens every 500 years with the Mahjarrat race. Jhallan is sacrificed to feed the others energy. Lucien dies in this quest. Saradomin also makes his first appearance.
