Shurima is a vast desert region in the fictional universe of Runeterra, known for its ancient history and powerful sun god, Azir. Once a thriving empire, it was home to advanced civilizations that worshipped the sun and built grand cities, now mostly buried under sand. The landscape of Shurima features towering sand dunes, ruins of old temples, and mystical creatures. The region is also known for its unique magical artifacts, such as the Ascended, powerful beings who were once mortals transformed by the sun's energy. Today, Shurima is a place of exploration and adventure for many.
