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.

Main quests

Shield of Arrav

Main article: 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.

Mysteries of the Mahjarrat

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

Main article: 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

Main article: 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

In an interview with gamerzine, Mod Mark stated that he was excited about the quest The Ritual of the Mahjarrat:

'Regarding standard game updates, I'm very excited about a three-part quest we're writing on the various Orders of Knights within the game (that will be released with a new minigame), and also the quest that Paul Gower (the original creator of the RuneScape back story and the other co-founder) is writing that concludes one of our oldest storylines, called "The Ritual of the Mahjarrat".'

This quest will be the final quest in the 'Mysteries of the Mahjarrat' quest series. It will be a Grandmaster quest and will feature the Mahjarrat Sliske. The quest will feature the Ritual of Rejuvenation, a ritual that happens every 500 years with the Mahjarrat race. One Mahjarrat is sacrificed to feed the others energy.
