Profiled Bump. This thread is absolutely awesome. You've put so much effort into it. I can't say I've read it all. I'm mostly interested in the area about the Mahjarrat but this information is great and very extensive and in detail. :)

Well, in the thread, the information on the Mahjarrat is a bit dotted around, so here's a post for you on them :) .
The Mahjarrat originally lived in a realm called Frenskae, which from descriptions told to us, sounds like a hell to our minds. However, during the Second Age, they were brought to Runescape by Icthlarin, who is the Menaphite god of death. They were known to the desert people(not at that point a desert, but lush swamp)as the 'Stern Judges', and aided Icthlarin in his workings.
However, after a time, Zaros became known to them, and after facing him off a few times, started to desire for Zaros's way of things, thus left Icthlarin, and joined Zaros. Time drew on though, and as they got used to Zaros's ways, some started to see they could have more if they wern't under Zaros's fist, but with Zaros being so powerful, were unable to do anything about it. Until a rogue came along to Zaros's general, Zamorak, that is. He sold the staff to him for a tidy sum, which lead to the now Zamorakian Mahjarrat gathering together, and overthrowing Zaros, in the events hopefully you know of.
Zamorak is banished, but soon returns to start the God Wars. During this time, Azzandra was locked away in a prymid-like structure, in which he was bound until the keepers of the keys decided to free him(or an adventurer come along, own them, then free him :P ). Khazard is born, with his mother dieing in wedlock. Zamorak leads his forces, containing many of the Mahjarrat loyal to him to war against the other gods, who failingly oppose him. Hazel takes control of what is now Ardougne. Runescape is a state. But then, Guthix 'awakens', and puts an end to to the fighting, and banishes the powerful beings away from Runescape. The Mahjarrat remain though, as somehow they do not classify in the 'ultrapowerful' section.
During the Fourth Age, not much is seen of the Mahjarrat, except an invasion on Varrock my Zemourgal, and the humans overthrowing Hazel, lead by the Candarin family.

Then, in the Fifth Age, we have an invasion by both Zemourgal and Lucien, Lucien invading in the year 154, Zemourgal in the year 159. Lucien then tries to take the Staff of Armadyl during the year 159, and succeeds in the end, and then goes on to take the Stone of Jas, and aims to become a god, and replace Zamorak. Azzandra is freed from his prison by an adventurer, and starts work on allowing Zaros to return. Zemourgal does his normal preporations for the ritual, with the help of his gargoyle minion. The ritual nears.
On the topic of the ritual, this is an occurance which happens every 500 years, with the upcomming one going to be the 18th to happen. In this, the Mahjarrat fight until one is chosen for sacrifice. This mahjarrat is the killed atop the Ritual Stone, which then rejuvinates the rest of the Mahjarrat, with the ones closer to the stone getting the most power, and the ones on the outside the least.

All in all, a rather interesting part of history :) .
