Azir’s return would be actually so crazy for the people of Runeterra. Imagine Alexander the Great or Genghis Khan suddenly coming back to life and raising their old kingdom, along with thousands and thousands of soldiers, out of clay or something
that would be a very scary thought,all these soldiers waving their mighty swords and bows, while our army just has machine guns, bombs etc. truly we are outmatched
We need some interactions between Azir and Swain or Darius. Azir is rebuilding the ancient Empire of Shurima and Noxus has conquered large swaths of Shurima’s north coast. There’s a war brewing there
That actually depends cause Azir cares about his people. So if his people are ok with being under Noxus, he might decide to instead do a peace treaty in a way. Then again, we don't actually know what Azir's overall goals are.
@@jcmahrt5100 Azir wants to help his people and return Shurima to greatness, but his methods are what is the issue. Maybe he will adapt to the new world and bring prosperity as well as he can. Instead.. he could go the way of his ancestors and unite the rest of the continent under the shuriman banner, if they want it or not, washing over them as a bloody wave of sand, while he cements his absolute power with tyranny and vassaldom. That is the Azir conundrum, his goal is set, but the means he uses will determine his role in Runeterra.
@@justascarecrow6988 may I remind everyone of how icathia fell--they didn't want to be under shuriman rule, so shurima decided to try and force them to which lead to the large void rift down south and a very old purple thing without a real weapon
@@justascarecrow6988 That is true. Though, we can say that Azir doesn't completely think the same way as his ancestors did, so he might change the way people would think of the emperors of old. After all, he was preparing to free the slaves when the time was right, when Shurima no longer needed slaves in order to function as properly as can be. So that is a subject for debate and speculation.
Do keep in mind, Noxians are pretty elitist and when it came to the conquered territories iirc they weren't treated the best. Upon seeing this and finding out about Noxus in general, Azir will almost certainly declare war on them and possibly even Demacia if they don't get it together with the whole mage civil war. I'd actually go as far to say that the only place I can think of as truly safe from Azir would be Ionia since everything we've seen so far of them, discounting Xayah wanting to remove all humans from the island, is they wish to remain at peace
The description says that only's Azir's most trusted soldier can become sand soldier. Because of that, I think that sandcrafter would become way less cool if thousands of them were just running around
Remember. Controlling the sand is the same thing as controlling the continent. From what we know rn it sounds as if their armies are "endless". They could throw 100 sand soldier at 1 noxian soldier and still win at the end of the day. And some of the cards in game are really amazing. Forgot the name of the card but it costs like 12 and is a enormous flying chimera (something like that). Don't think noxians got anything against that. Noxians WILL lose in Shurima. There is no way they win, based on what we know rn. Remember. When a sand warrior "dies" it "returns" to the sand. Aka. They can just spawn a new one. My point is that shurimans don't use any ressources to fight. They can just deplete their enemies ressources.
@@izira6351 they don't have more but they can create more. So they are growing much stronger than any other "faction". In Taliyahs bio we already heard about the many tribes flocking to the capital city. Shurima will be no.1 in no time. But. They do have a civil war to finish. So they can't really expand for now.
@@izira6351 idk whether the celestial gonna let azir create more ascended warriors since the last time they do that they have the darkin and have to send the aspects just to wipe them out . Also I think Noxus have blood magic pass down by the Darkin .Noxus is the nation is just build on war and conquer so I still think they kinda have the edge here
Azir is probably my favourite character in the lore by a longshot. Just the entire premise of an ancient, powerful and benevolent king ressurecting a dead kingdom to its former glory makes me shiver (in a good way). It's just so BADASS and I love the idea of a mostly defeated nation standing together and embracing their heritage to rise back to glory. With the sundisk, Ascended warriors, infinite soldiers and Azir/Nasus leading the nation, I'm keen to watch Shurima grow to be the top power in Runeterra! Too long has Shurima been overlooked!
Targon will always be Top tier. As long as there are the Selestials there. The aspects are not very powerful tho. They have equal power to an ascented I believe
@@kaitosama8538 Exactly - only as far as we know they can keep making more Ascended by choice (whereas Aspects seem to need to be chosen), so I think my sand bros got a leg up there 😆
I hate to be this picky, but the Sandstone Charger is actually part bull, and not part horse. This is why they have the face of a bull engraved on the front of his armor.
Yah I don't know why he would think that they could be baccai either, unless all baccai look the same. There's multiple of these creatures, they might just be a different class of soldier from ancient Shuriman times.
@@og8263 I must confess I am biased : I play in French, and in french, they are litarally referred to as "bulls" (the same way "The charger", the celestial card, is also referred to as "The bull" in the French version of the game). As we don't know if the translation is cannon, it might be a mistake, but I'm fairly certain it isn't.
@@Geheimnis-c2e in fact he was the most sane after the void it was having his heart ripped out and betrayed him while they sealed him in an ancient prison that literally prevents him from feeling anything which made him insane
I was thinking it seemed more like a blueprint of the capital. I understand him being able to reconstruct it with easy, but to do that he must have and image of it, so that magic creates a map of the city then he controls the trasnformations.
All the predict cards with clocks and shit mention zilean or his lab in icathia, including xenotype researchers. he's even in the crowd for khahiri. He's probably coming along with ekko in the next bundle. I didn't reach the end of the video b4 typing this, forgive my impudence
I think that sands=time. Sand soldiers aren't "spawned", they are revived corpses/images of previous soldiers. So there would be a maximum limit for soldiers spawned at any one time, but still functionally endless. Because of that, I think Sand Chargers need to have their sarcophagus/enclosures in order to preserve their corpses as there would only be a limited amount of them. Or those enclosures help the sand crafter shape the sand easier into that form, and with enough power, they can fill the whole map with sand soldiers.
I don't believe that just because someone has glowing eyes, they're a sand soldier. (in regards to the emperor's deck) I think they're probably channeling their energy or that their eyes are glowing because their emperor has risen to a new power.
I mean there's also the fact that they're capable of talking/react to Azir while the sand soldiers are silent, they might be humans enhanced by sandcrafters/sun disc in some way which leads to the gold eyes
15:10 Reminds me of the Wracraft III cinematic where Archimonde destroyed Dalaran by crushing a sand replica of the city, like some sand voodoo doll of some kind.
Maybe, didn't really looked like he's being stab, just the edge resting on his skin or just a threatening demeanor. Also, doesn't seemed like she's a Renekton followers, based on her beast/pet/ride. Edited: Nevermind, saw her behind Renekton in his 2nd level card
2:50 the Shuriman "calendar" looks more like a topographic map with the circle around being a compass. people used the stars in the past to tell where they were in the world
Even if you made an hour long explanatory of the lore of Runeterra I will gladly grind them Honestly for the past 3 years your voice today is way more better than the past The lore teller of Runeterra (Will tell us a story until we fall asleep)

I'm pretty sure the dunekeeper is the man from the cinematic. Riot seems to enjoy making main characters 1 drops, like Cithria, the blade squire, and the star Shepard from the targon cinematic. Of course, there could be multiple variants of him. Cithria does have 3 after all.
Shuriman expansion is so friggin cool. With new cards (such as Predict, Xenotype Researches and Ancestral boon in Freljord) you can just build decks that give all your followers +6|+6 in one turn (+12|+12 if you have Karma)
Theory: Enemy Nasus interaction will be canon since it can happen later. I mean, for now Nasus seems to be okay with Azir, but later he will see danger that comes with Emperor's ambition of conquering the world. Then Nasus will be an enemy of a tyrant. This way both interactions might be canon.
I assumed that the Sandstone Chimera was just a creature that azir made, similar to how he can make soldiers, he made this legendary beast to prove his power to the people and show he had returned. Nothing as grandiose as bringing a myth back to life.
Imagine Azir like a child that awoke from a dream where he was the emperor and now he is playing with the sand of a beach remembering the mighty castles and armies he rose with a single thought in this dream before the shores of an indifferent world and the tide of betrayal devastated the lands and wiped away his empire, his people and his very soul, leaving dirt and a flat, dead wasteland where tall palaces that touched the sky and cities filled with life once stood. His visions of the city, the legacy, the jewel the world coveted all of it crumbled in seconds before his fading self and powerless gaze. Now awake in grief with the visions gone like dust in the wind his despair took the place of his tattered ambition as he tries desperately to mimic the movements and magic that once guided the prosperity of a nation, his motions slowly become more and more unnatural and mechanical until he resembles a sorrowful puppet of a lost time and the threads that makes his delusion dance lead to the pathetically to bring back the glory of the past
Pretty sure that Azir and the army of Shurima could have a really high chance of fighting against Morekaiser (granted that they are in the desert), or at least hold him off for something or someone that could take him down permanently.
He got corrupted by the Void, he lost his ascended form after this. Some people theorize that he was another birdman-god because of his helmet form and his wings.
I didn't know I'd love the Shuriman lore this much, I'm not keen on Egyptian themed stuff besides JoJo's Bizarre Adventure stuff. But this. I love this.
@@andrijabarovic6694 right!? Just yesterday someone on ARAM said I shouldn't have played Azir, cuz' " e sucks on aram". I only died once that game and THAT was on purpose; came back full build!

@@arthaerus7320 but I think if they wanted to make clear it's the guy from the cinematic they would at least have put the mask in his hand or at his belt. But idk
nasus and renekton falling in line and following azir really makes me wonder if aatrox would follow as well. like man legit only wants to die cause his life has no purpose
@@mehdildj6199 he isn’t just killing everything for killing everything’s sake tho. He’s doing it cause he hopes if he kills enough eventually something will catch up to him and end him cause he feels life is pointless.
Even in his maddest moments Aatrox still remembers his old glory. He may fall in line, ESPECIALLY if Azir really plans to attack Targon. Not sure about Varus or Rhaast though
About the sandstone chargers, we do actually see centaur like beings in one other region. The shadow Isles, Hecarim and is legion of spectral riders. Perhaps they were formed after the same image.
I'm curious if Azir (and probably Xerath) learned Chronomancy. Nasus probably learned some of it, capable of using "Wither" spell, aging things temporarly. But Azir sandcrafting are more like "shaping" (not restoring) things back what was once before. I don't know how powerful Zilean is with his chronomancy, but I have a feeling that misusing it or being careless comes with a terrible price related to the Void. and Icathia paid for it.
If I remember correctly, skarners race was in shurima; and the crystals can (have been) used for time stuff. If the sand eroded those crystals, them wouldnt it give sandshapers some extra juice?

His visions of the city, the legacy, the jewel the world coveted all of it crumbled in seconds before his fading self and powerless gaze. Now awake in grief with the visions gone like dust in the wind his despair took the place of his tattered ambition as he tries desperately to mimic the movements and magic that once guided the prosperity of a nation, his motions slowly become more and more unnatural and mechanical until he resembles a sorrowful puppet of a lost time and the threads that makes his delusion dance lead to the pathetically to bring back the glory of the past
16:34 bin chickens.....
All regions: Has tech, strong armies, supernatural powers, and strong champs
Shurimans: ENDLESS SAND GOES BRRRRRRRRRR
You forgot to metion the most important part of Emperor's prosperity.
- With this card, I can draw two more cards from my deck!
One 30 mins vid: nonono
Two 20 mins vid : thats what i like
Pretty sure that Azir and the army of Shurima could have a really high chance of fighting against Morekaiser (granted that they are in the desert), or at least hold him off for something or someone that could take him down permanently.
Wait wait wait. 16:39 it can't be, well at least not necessary, Aatrox was ascended (right?) and didn't take the form of an animal.
He got corrupted by the Void, he lost his ascended form after this. Some people theorize that he was another birdman-god because of his helmet form and his wings.
@@pudimachocolatado3391 oke, thanks
15:20 it may be targon but im getting some hella strong Archimonde vibes there
True, same cinematic in w3 when archimonde crushes a city
to be honest, if you make a 1 hour long lore video, i would still watch it
last time was this early azir wasnt nerfed 10000000 times
Necrit: Boorid
Me: deep breathes, deep breathes
I didn't know I'd love the Shuriman lore this much, I'm not keen on Egyptian themed stuff besides JoJo's Bizarre Adventure stuff. But this. I love this.
Horus was shaped after a falcon not an ibis, which are those birds on that card, so we can assume azir is shaped after a falcon
Ibis was Toth was it not
@@SamaAtlas ye
me, who onetricks azir: O.o
Damn, you must be sad...
@@galio7741 why tf would they be sad? I onetrick Azir as well its a fucking awesome champion and a tough one to master but an incredible playmaker!
@@andrijabarovic6694 because of the nerf...
@@andrijabarovic6694 right!? Just yesterday someone on ARAM said I shouldn't have played Azir, cuz' " e sucks on aram".
I only died once that game and THAT was on purpose; came back full build!
@@Saphentite i mean, yeah, they are nerfing him to the ground for no reason other than "people like to play him" but that can only make us mad at riot, not rly sad...
Azir is the Jin Woo of League of Legends.
Literally named my Azir deck ephemeral deck solo leveling
I'm pretty sure it's confirmed that the Dunekeeper is the guy from the cinematic that takes the royal seal to Azir.
he does look like him but where is his mask?
@@grandmashark6443 Maybe he gained his mask and position as Azir's elite as a reward for getting the mask?
@@arthaerus7320 but I think if they wanted to make clear it's the guy from the cinematic they would at least have put the mask in his hand or at his belt. But idk
nasus and renekton falling in line and following azir really makes me wonder if aatrox would follow as well. like man legit only wants to die cause his life has no purpose
If they released him maybe, but he's even madder then renekton at this point
Aatrox has a purpose tho
Killing everything
Why would he serve anyone after everything happend to him
he legit went insane from desperation
@@mehdildj6199 he isn’t just killing everything for killing everything’s sake tho. He’s doing it cause he hopes if he kills enough eventually something will catch up to him and end him cause he feels life is pointless.
Even in his maddest moments Aatrox still remembers his old glory.
He may fall in line, ESPECIALLY if Azir really plans to attack Targon.
Not sure about Varus or Rhaast though
His warriors of the past are now mummies in the future.
i do wonder how the rest of the world is reacting to a sudden acient empire suddenly returned a new world power suddenly added to the board
Azir: Empire, Shurima's glory, etc
Sivir aka Mr Crabbs: MONEY
I was wondering around and it pop up nice
Azir handling Nasus and Renekton could easily be a sitcom
About the sandstone chargers, we do actually see centaur like beings in one other region. The shadow Isles, Hecarim and is legion of spectral riders. Perhaps they were formed after the same image.
The Golden Herald ( 14:55 ) is the one who summons the "centaurs" from the Sandswept Tomb (12:50)
All I hear and read from Azir and anything related to Azir is...
*S H U R I M A*
I'm curious if Azir (and probably Xerath) learned Chronomancy.
Nasus probably learned some of it, capable of using "Wither" spell, aging things temporarly.
But Azir sandcrafting are more like "shaping" (not restoring) things back what was once before.
I don't know how powerful Zilean is with his chronomancy, but I have a feeling that misusing it or being careless comes with a terrible price related to the Void. and Icathia paid for it.
If I remember correctly, skarners race was in shurima; and the crystals can (have been) used for time stuff.
If the sand eroded those crystals, them wouldnt it give sandshapers some extra juice?
Riot: here we have the card Emperor's Prosperity
Australians: nah bin chicken
"Never seen a centaur before" *ahem* Lillia.
nice! you released another one!
09:41
Lilia is technically not part of Runeterra's mortal plane but it's spiritual plane if that counts.
3:12 is the sign of the lunari in the circle
welcome to the league of legends champion spotlight featuring necrit the story teller
1st skill: read
2nd skill: sleep
3rd skill:calm voice
4th skill: read it louder!!!
9:41
Lillia looks on with sadness
15:31 im not sure... to me it also is reminiscent of noxus, like that one big tower where is the the council resides sits in the Middle with those other Towers throughout the city surrounding it. I think it's noxus especially if he says targons not feasible or improbable whichever word he used.
Azir finally put some pants on so now we have to do something about Varus
I see you everywhere hmmm
@@jakesanbuenaventura52 That's because I am everywhere
@@jsc1jake512 probably because I main Aatrox lol
