Shurima

Shurima Desert is an arid territory in the southern half of Valoran.

Lore
Ravaged by Rune Wars long past, the Shurima Desert was wrecked by chaotic magical storms, leaving a harsh desolate area. The desert is known for its hot climate, and many men have gone mad beneath the glare of the Shurima sun. Besides humans, armadillos are one of the few known creatures that are capable of surviving in the difficult terrain.

Culture
Not much is known about the denizens of the Shurima Desert. For centuries the inhabitants have given birth to many Seers who were blessed with the gift of foresight. Currently, the Seer with the most power and potential is.

The Pyramids
Strangely, large floating pyramids can be found in the middle of the Shurima. The origins of these structures is steeped in mystery and entering them is said to be quite dangerous. However, there are those who believe that the pyramids house untold treasures. So whether for profit, knowledge, or simply for the thrill, many adventurers make the attempt to discover the pyramids' secrets.

While exploring one of these pyramids,, uncovered an ancient artifact - an amulet of inestimable power. He barely managed to extract it from its sandy abode due to its sheer magnitude (it was made for a being easily twice Ezreal's size). After fervent investigation, he found that the amulet allowed the wielder to control and shape magical energy - provided there was a source of magic nearby. This has permitted Ezreal to tap into his latent magical abilities with minimal effort. For some unknown reason, the amulet is highly attuned to summoning magic.

The yordle known as, awoke alone inside another pyramid. How he came to be there remains unknown... especially to Amumu himself. He was entwined in mummy wrappings and he could not feel his heart beat. Though most assuredly undead, he harbored none of the evil characteristics typical of undead beings. Furthermore, he felt a deep sadness that he could not entirely explain; he knew he missed his parents, though he could not remember who they were. Dropping to his knees, Amumu wept into his bandages. No matter what he did, it seemed he could never stop his tears or sadness. Eventually he stood up, determined to wander the world to discover his past.
