4	----
5	!!This quest contains the following tropes:
6
7	* ButNowIMustGo: Following the conclusion of the quest, Kharshai announces his plans to leave Gielinor altogether and explore other worlds.
8	* CurbStompBattle: Zaros overwhelms Zamorak during their confrontation in Freneskae, disintegrating the god of chaos's wings in the process.
9	* DontCreateAMartyr: Overwhelmed by Zaros during their rematch on Freneskae, Zamorak transfers his energy into the other Mahjarrat present, and Zaros subsequently halts his attack, refusing to let his former general go down in the name of the Mahjarrat's survival.
10	* EmptyShell: Mah is little more than a lifeless husk after her "daughter", Seren, {{Mercy Kill}}s her.
11	* FateWorseThanDeath: In the climax of the quest, Seren discovers to her horror that Zaros' machinations have rendered their mother, the Elder God Mah, catatonic, and after a trip into her mind in an attempt to save her, discovers that Mah feared ''all'' of her children, including Seren. Not wanting her to live with that fear and suffering anymore, she ends Mah's life, saving Freneskae but putting her in conflict with the rest of the eponymous Children, especially her brother Zaros.
12	* IGaveMyWord: Enforced; as Zaros is bound by the terms of the ''Vinculum Juris'' he forged with Zamorak, he performs the very last Ritual of Rejuvenation and ends the need for Mahjarrat to peform further rituals. Zamorak, in turn, must fulfill one request by Zaros come the day of Sliske's endgame.
13	* KilledOffForReal: Seren reluctantly puts Mah out of her misery, and is now nothing more than an empty husk.
14	* LeonineContract: Zaros and Zamorak form a demonic pact with each other called the ''Vinculum Juris'', in which the parties involved must uphold a promise to the other, or else cease to exist. Zaros performs the very last Ritual of Rejuvenation on the spot and ends the need for Mahjarrat to perform further rituals, while Zamorak is to fulfill one request by Zaros come the day of Sliske's endgame.
15	* LukeIAmYourFather: Zamorak is revealed to be the son of Khazard during the former and Zaros's confrontation in Freneskae.
16	* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Zamorak's aversion to form the ''Vinculum Juris'' with Zaros stems from his concerns over what Zaros would do with the Stone of Jas. Left with little choice, he forms the pact to ensure the Mahjarrat tribe's survival.
17	* PapaWolf: Zaros attempts to use Khazard as an example to demonstrate what would happen to a Mahjarrat when channeled with Mah's energy. Zamorak, however, has ''none'' of it, and quickly locks himself in battle against Zaros.
18	* PyrrhicVictory: While the quest ultimately concludes with the survival of the Mahjarrat thanks to Zamorak, he feels conflicted following his confrontation and pact binding with Zaros.
19	* RageBreakingPoint: Seren eventually loses her composure and explodes, causing a tremor in Freneskae, after Zamorak and the Mahjarrat relentlessly slam her for contributing to the Mahjarrat's dwindling numbers.
20	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Zamorak doesn't sugarcoat his words when he slams Seren for contributing to the dwindling population of the Mahjarrat and Mah's recent demise.
21	-->''"You do not get to be sorry. You are the cause of so much loss, so much misery...even the death of your own mother!"''
22	* RejectedApology: Seren explains her reasons for teaching the Ritual of Rejuvenation to the Mahjarrat under the guise of Mah, and tries to apologise for contributing to the demise of the Mahjarrat. Zamorak, however, quickly shoots down her apology.
23	* TakingTheBullet: Zaros tries to channel Mah's energy into Khazard, but Zamorak interferes and locks himself in battle against the god of fate and control, and gets overwhelmed in the process.
24	* TheyDiedBecauseOfYou: The Rituals of Rejuvenation turn out to be nothing more than a farce which costed the lives of many Mahjarrat over the history of their existence, all so Seren could restore Mah of her energy and prevent her from tearing apart Freneskae.
25	* YouAreTooLate: Despite the World Guardian and Seren's best efforts, they are ultimately unable to save Mah, who now lives little more than an agonising existence, following Zaros's ritual. Unable to watch Mah suffer any longer, [[MercyKill Seren puts her to sleep permanently]].
