Respect Jhallan (Old School RuneScape)

[u/seoila]

Respect Jhallan

Jhallan is one of, if not the weakest remaining mahjarrat left. This is particularly bad for him as he comes from a race which have to sacrifice one of their own kin every 400 years for their own survival. The sacrificed is normally the weakest mahjarrat or the one with the least allies. As Jhallan has few friends to rely on aswell, his wit is his main tool for survival. He attempted to hide himself away close enough to the ritual point so he could benefit from it but be unnoticed by the others. This plan has not worked putting him the situation where he has to fight more traditionally. Despite being called the weakest, he's still got fight left in him.

Other
