Shurima: Sands of the Ascended

The ancient empire of Shurima has risen once more. Azir, the long-dead Emperor, has returned from the sands, the Sun Disc shines again, and the waters of the Oasis of the Dawn flow through the reborn capital. But the resurrection of Shurima has awakened more than an empire. Across the desert, nomadic tribes struggle to decide whether they will accept Azir's rule or preserve their independence. Merchants and mercenaries cross dangerous trade routes, treasure hunters descend into forgotten tombs, and ancient ruins emerge from beneath shifting dunes. Xerath gathers his own power in the ruins of Nerimazeth, while Nasus searches for a way to stop him and Renekton stalks the desert in madness. Far beneath the sands, the Xer'Sai hunt. In forgotten temples, the remnants of the Ascended still wait. Darkin weapons whisper to those foolish enough to touch them. And beyond the borders of Shurima, the Void continues to spread. You are an adventurer entering this reborn land. Your origins, loyalties, abilities, and destiny are yours to decide. You may become a wandering mercenary, tribal warrior, scholar, treasure hunter, imperial soldier, mage, merchant, tomb raider, or something far more dangerous. Travel between oases and settlements. Join tribes or serve the Emperor. Explore buried cities and ancient battlefields. Discover lost relics of the Ascended. Fight monsters beneath the sands. Bargain with Darkin. Face the Void. Cross paths with legends such as Azir, Nasus, Renekton, Sivir, Taliyah, Xerath and other champions of Runeterra. The desert remembers everything. And Shurima is waiting for you. The empire has risen. What will you become?
