Probably because Mah was sooooooo weak, she could be killed just like that. Or maybe Mah allowed her self to be killed by Seren.

If not, it's no suprise that Jmods say something, and then poof it happens while they said it can't happen.

I'm pretty sure that Jagex has always been consistent in their policy that the game takes precedence, so if they say anything in outside sources such as the books or a Q&A, anything the game does that contradicts that becomes canon. Their statement that Elder Gods cannot be killed has always been subject to change, and has never been backed up by any source of canon.

Plus, it's very heavily implied that Wen was directly responsible for corrupting Mah's core, so it could be that the only way to make it possible to kill an Elder God is through another Elder God's power.

Mah has been crippled by other elder God's influence.
This might very well be the reason it was possible to kill her.

Perhaps elder god's can be killed by other elder gods.
Though the reason for elder gods cripling one of their own is a mystery thus far.

There is few lessons to learn here.

Zaros is that guy who is willing to hurt/kill his own at his disposal to gain his own needs while he manipulate others into thinking that it is for a good cost and cause. Zammy had a good point without them Zaros empire would of never survive that long.

Zaros is those type of guys who leaves his mother at the age of 18 without telling. Don't care to contact her or visit her nor give a fuck what's going on with her. When he does visit he comes to town. He comes quietly, doesn't tell anybody, do what he needs to get done, and leave. Whenever he need of financial issues or some sort of big problem that's when he knows that,"I have a mother. I can ask her or use her."

I'm not surprised Mah died, a lot of us expected it.

Seren tried to blame Zaros, naturally. She dealt the killing blow, she taught the rituals causing the back and fourth power struggle and the eventual ritual that led to her being bled dry, But no. This is clearly the work of Zaros.

It's a shame really. I do like Seren, but screaming won't solve anything. Didn't her mother teach her that?

Yes. But as we already knew, Zaros was going to give control of the empire over to Azzanadra and Zamorak at this point. Zammy's betrayal put a real kink in that plan.

Only if you mean to say that said mother is overbearing to the point of abuse. And let's not forget that the reason he came back into town quietly was because his mum was trying to consume him, his twin sister, and all of his younger siblings. That's totally not important at all.

Seren's biggest flaw is that she talks like she genuinely does feel ashamed of what she did, but she blames other people more often than own up to what she did. The Dark Lord inspired Lord Iorwerth and King Lathas to instigate civil wars? Oh, well, I kicked the dark shard, so Seren isn't going to claim any responsibility for what happened. It was all Haluned's fault.

That said, I do think there's someone Seren has every right to blame: Wen, for apparently corrupting Mah's core in the first place.

I thought they said that they can be killed but it takes more than an Elder Artifact to do it, and Mah was already on the edge of death.

We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.

Wen could be a great ally... or a common enemy...

The strong survive, so why not make everyone else weaker than you? People have been theorizing about wen weakening other elders before... NO
