I'm kinda reminded of an old Star Trek episode.
There was a character once who was born on Earth like 5000 years ago. He was human, but virtually immortal.
He lived through the rise of the ancient empires like Rome, he live through the technology age, he changed his identity a lot sometimes becoming a famous person we would know later (like a famous artist or general or king).
Then he got tired of Earth, got in a spaceship and left. He bought a moon/world and lived there on his own except for a robot companion he built.
But at the end of the episode, we learn that because he was living outside of Earth's ecosystem, he was now dying.
True, he had lived for sometime offworld, and would continue to live offworld.
But the fact remained: he was eventually going to die.
Why do I bring this up?
What Seren taught the Mahjarrat was a sort of symbiotic (or parasitic?) cycle. One part of it required Mah.
But for thousands of years, the Mahjarrat have been on Gilienor and doing effectively half the cycle.
On top of that, they've been reducing their own numbers.
And these Mahjarrat in question, were born on Freneskae.
So it's possible that without Mah, the Mahjarrat were doomed. Sort of like what would happen if the Elves were without Seren. And like that character from Star Trek.
Maybe Khazard isn't is as vulnerable as the others because, unlike them, he was born on Runescape. and Moia even less so because she's only 1/2 Mahjarrat. But this could be a stretch.
But, Seren (and Zaros) are creations of Mah and it might be a stretch, but perhaps Seren (and Zaros) could substitute for Mah for the other half of the Ritual.
It might be temporary (A few thousand years perhaps?), but it would give some time to figure out the Mahjarrat problem.
But this ofc assumed all of the remaining Mahjarrat even cared.
You've lived for thousands of years in a system where self-preservation was a means to power and survival.
How many are willing/able to change?
