'''Enakhra''' is a [[Mahjarrat]], and the only known female of the race that is currently alive. Although little is known about her origins, she is known to be a rival of [[Akthanakos]], a [[Zaros]]ian Mahjarrat. In the [[Second Age]], she built a [[Enakhra's Temple|temple]] in the [[Kharidian Desert]] in honour of [[Zamorak]], a then-Mahjarrat who conspired against Zaros. According to legend, she showed her temple to Zamorak, but he spurned her, claiming that he would rather have a [[Staff of Armadyl|weapon that could kill a god]] than a temple.

It was also in the Second Age that Enakhra was sent on a mission by Zaros as part of a company consisting also of Zamorak, the [[Elder-Demon]] [[Thammaron]], the human warrior [[Viggora]], the archivist [[Perjour]], and Zaros' [[Auspah]] dancer [[Char]]; a mission which ultimately resulted in the burning of a [[Fremmenik]] encampment by Char, in a rage at the loss of the rest of her people.

Following this, Enakhra dwelt in her temple for thousands of years and did not come out, though the last that the [[human]]s in the surrounding area learned was that she was "thinking of ending her rivalry with Akthanakos". In actuality, Enakhra tricked [[Akthanakos]] and led him into her temple, where she cursed him and turned him into a [[Bone guard]], a living skeleton to guard her in her solitude.

In the late [[Fourth Age]], an expedition of knights from [[Varrock|Avarrocka]] was sent into the desert to, for unknown reasons, destroy Enakhra. It may be that at the time of the mission, the Mahjarrat [[Zemouregal]] had recently enacted his [[Invasion of Avarrocka]] and the populace of the city were afraid of more attacks. The expedition was a disaster, and all of the knights were killed by the bitter Enakhra, with the exception of one, [[Pentyn]], who was doomed to be trapped in an [[Ancient Magicks|ancient spell]] that preserved his life, but kept him cold, miserable and diseased.

In recent times, taking place during the quest [[Enakhra's Lament]], a Zamorakian mage named [[Lazim]] delved into the desert where he knew the temple to be and enlisted the help of [[player|an adventurer]] to uncover it. The adventurer was then able to free Akthanakos, and he and Enakhra vowed to continue their long, drawn-out rivalry in [[The North]], where the [[Ritual of Rejuvenation]] was shortly to take place.

==The 18th Mahjarrat Ritual of Rejuvenation==
During the "negotiations" of who would be sacrificed during the ritual, she repeatedly suggested her old rival [[Akthanakos]]. However, her suggestions were constantly ignored by [[Zemouregal]] and [[Lucien]]. During the fight between the Zarosian and Zamorakian Mahjarrat, she fights Akthanakos, but does poorly and is almost beaten before all the Mahjarrat turn on Lucien and fight him instead. [[Jhallan]] is ultimately sacrificed, and she regains her powers (rising in Level from 250 to 350) and her face changes away from the Lich form. After witnessing Lucien's death at the hands of the [[Dragonkin]], she quickly teleports away.

== Relation to Zamorak ==
It is hinted strongly that Enakhra has an unrequited love for Zamorak, the god of chaos, and is an avid follower of his. It is first explained briefly by [[Aristarchus]], a [[Menaphite]] scholar who specialises in desert lore. During the quest [[The Curse of Arrav]], [[Zemouregal's fort]]ress in The North is found to have several documents labelled "[[Notes (a-j)]] and [[Notes (k-z)]]", written by Zemouregal and detailing all of the known Mahjarrat to have come to [[Gielinor]]. According to Zemouregal, he wanted her help to save the Mahjarrat race but she refused, claiming that she had "feelings for Zamorak" which Zemouregal does not understand.

In [[Postbag from the Hedge]] Issue 43, Enakhra answers a letter asking her about her life, the life of [[Iban]], and her home [[realm]], [[Freneskae]]. She replies:

{{cquote2|Ah, Freneskae: an ash-covered, smog and lava-filled delight. You humans would consider it desolate and harsh, a deathly place. To my [[Mahjarrat]] eyes, there is wonder there. For us Mahjarrat, life can come from death as easily as death from life... That is why we chose to follow [[Icthlarin]], then [[Zaros]] (though I spit as I say his name), and my greatest love, [[Zamorak]].|Enakhra}}

She mentions that [[Zamorak]] is her "greatest love" and also that she must have a love for [[Iban]] because he is not a "'son' of [[Zamorak]] in your narrow, literal sense, but he is imbued with my lord's unholy power: sweet with corruption".<ref name="RuneScape Knowledge Base">{{cite web |url=http://services.runescape.com/m=rswiki/en/Postbag_43 |title=Postbag from the Hedge, Issue 43 |publisher=Jagex Studios}}</ref>

==Trivia==
*Enakhra's name backward spells 'arhkanE', possibly based on the word 'Arcane'.
*Enakhra is stated by Zemouregal to likely be the only female Mahjarrat on Gielinor to still be alive. The only other female he mentions, [[Palkeera]], the mother of [[General Khazard|Khazard]], is deceased.
*Enakhra uses spells such as [[Ice Barrage|Ice]] and [[Blood Barrage]] against the Avarrockian knights in Enakhra's lament, and makes use of the four elements of the Ancient spellbook to seal Athankanos into a boneguard. This has led to the belief that Ice, Blood, Shadow, and Smoke are the Mahjarrat's four core elements, whereas a human's four core elements are Blood, Body, Mind, and Soul. Strangely, she uses [[Fire Bolt]] against Akthanakos, although she is able to hit in the 300's with it.
