The Mahjarrat are in trouble as we should all know. They have one female and a halfjarrat female left and none of the males can shapeshift into a female? How were the Mahjarrat even biologically compatible with humans to make a Halfjarrat?
There has been talks of them reproducing by every means from eggs to mahsupials (see what I did there?
) It seems not even the JMods know for sure and the arguments have raged until there the topic fell by the way side. But I have a theory that fits all the known facts. So here you are. My theory on Mahjarrat reproduction and why there is a male and female, as well as how they could have produced a halfjarrat....
I think this theory covers the bases of what we've heard so far. The purpose of adventure is to shine light into dark places,
Poke monsters with a sharp stick, Then steal anything that isn't nailed down!

Well it sounds to me as if Mahjarrat reproduction needs a starting place, as no one seems to have decided and everyone is stuck on it being solely biological. What if it is far more Anima based than physical?
A mixing of energy, not forgetting that souls are generally anima based in RS. You might need to add a bit more physical spec or 2 that has to be infused to get self replication.The "female" would have to be able to gather, store and provide a lot of anima for a growing fetus. That would give us the weakening of females that has been observed.
Now that should allow shapeshifted Mahjarrat to errrr......hmm. . . . do business as usual.
It should also allow for Moia to come into existence. Though the toll taken on human females to produce such a spawn would be near catastrophic back then. At least the 6Th Age might have supplements that would make such an endeavour far easier now. It might also explain why no male Mahjarrat just shapeshifted to female. Maybe a "female" is far better equipped to survive that demand?
