[[File:CityAlKharid.png|thumb|Al Kharid, the area where the Mehkmets lived.]]

The '''Mehkmets''' are apparently a people who live in the city of [[Al Kharid]], or possibly in the desert area around it. Little is known of their culture or society, as they do not appear in the game of ''[[RuneScape]]''. However, according to the [[god]] [[Saradomin]], in issue 1 of the [[God Letters]]<ref>http://services.runescape.com/m=rswiki/en/God_Letters_Issue_1 ''Letters to the Gods, Issue 1 - Saradomin Speaks''</ref>, notes that they favour the practice of cutting out the tongues of people who have wronged them.

{{cquote2|Having abused the gift of speech, those brash youths are rewarded by having their tongue removed, a practice still favoured by the Mehkmets of Al Kharid.|[[Saradomin]], on players who abuse the rules}}

Saradomin was, at the time, speaking of players who abused the [[rules]] of RuneScape, and the "cutting out their tongues" is a metaphor for player receiving a [[mute]] from [[Jagex]] after abusing other players verbally. It is therefore unknown whether the Mehkmets actually exist, or whether they are just a metaphor mentioned by Saradomin. It is possible, also, that they no longer dwell in Al Kharid, and Saradomin may have been talking about a civilisation that existed in the [[Third Age|Third]] or [[Second Age]], when Saradomin would have walked the land.
