I've noticed that all mahjarrat wear gems around their head, some concealed by their headwear. There has been rumors about mahjarrats being based on liches, is it possible that these gems work like the object a lich chooses, that they contain the soul and/or lifeforce of the mahjarrat? This has been on my mind since Kharshais return, since his memories seemed to be kept in those gems of his.
Also does this mean that the only way to kill a mahjarrat without the use of the ritual or an elder weapon is to destroy his or hers gems?
The crystal in a Mahjarrat's forehead is VERY important, so you're wise to pick up on that. It has implications for their creation, and what that means for the Mahjarrat. They are based on liches, but this is not the reason for the crystals on the forehead.
Striking a Mahjarrat's gem will not kill it, I don't believe.
