Brackern[]
Surrounded around the Shuriman Continent are several clans of Brackern, including clans in the Shuriman desert.
Dormun[]
The Dormun are gigantic, slow-moving creatures protected with large chitinous plates covering their body. In the harsh conditions of Shurima they have evolved to survive the perpetual drought by utilizing an unknown sense to locate hidden reservoirs of water. Incidentally, certain nomadic tribes have built themselves a permanent home upon the backs of these beasts where they clean the creature and hunt any airborne pests who venture near.
Eka'Sul[]
Desert goats that travel in herds.
Mwatis[]
Mwatis are goatlike creatures with large plated casques on their heads. Mwati wool and plate are prised for felting and insulation.
Kmiros[]
Gigantic scarabs that roam in swarms, looking for unfortunate travelers to feed on. They seem to be common prey for 
Rammus.
Outerbeasts[]
- Main article: Voidborn
Beside the Xer'Sai, other creatures from the Void, referred to as 'outerbeasts', can be found in the desert.
- Xer'Sai: Creatures from the Void that plague the southern deserts. They are the size of big dogs on average, but can be smaller or much bigger.
Rek'Sai, as the queen, is by far the largest and most dangerous of her species. Xer'sai burst from their small burrows and ravage anything nearby, to the detriment of desert caravans. Once dead, the Xer'sai decompose at an abnormally rapid rate and become inedible.
Ralsiji[]
Large and aggressive minotaur-like creatures. They are humpbacked quadrupeds with long limbs and thick horns.
Shuriman Camel[]
A breed of camels native to the deserts of Shurima and are used by caravans as well as common folk as primary mode of transportation. Despite being well-suited for lengthy travels in the desert landscape, they are still prey to a many predator such as the Xer'Sai.
Sandswimmers[]
Sandswimmers
Sandswimmers are massive quadrupedal creatures that traverse the Shuriman desert in cyclical patterns. They got their name due to their preferred method of travel. Their narrow bodies and webbed feet are perfectly design for swimming under the sand. They feed on bugs and other small creatures most desert beasts ignore. Scavengers will often memorize the predictable paths these creatures take, and jump onto their backs to ride as far as they wish.
Skallashi[]
The Skallashi are large quadrupedal herbivores. These hardy beasts of burden are common across Shurima, ideally suited to the harsh desert environment. Their key body feature is their long legs. Notoriously bad-tempered, they are nevertheless treated with great reverence. Their brown hides are often painted with sacred symbols of protection, and their horns hung with totems and charms. While these creatures are mostly used for travel and carrying heavy loads, on some larger skallashi people are able to built miniature rooms for more comfortable travel. To own one is often considered a sign of considerable prosperity.

| — Alune to Aphelios | |
 |
Alune is the twin sister of 
Aphelios, a seer of the moon and a member of the 
Lunari. She currently lives in the Marus Omegnum, also known as 
4 The Veiled Temple, a Lunari temple in the Spirit Realm.
Background[]
Early life[]
Alune and 
Aphelios were twins, born to the Lunari during a lunar convergence, when the moon of the spirit realm eclipsed the physical moon, and were hailed as children with an important destiny. Aphelios was physically gifted like the moon of stone, while Alune was magically gifted by the spirit moon. They both grew up as loyal believers in their faith, one of mystery, discovery and reflection, and embraced the night not only due to their belief, but as their only shield against the 
Solari, who considered Lunari heretics and sought to destroy them. As a result, the Lunari hid away until it was thought they no longer existed.
Alune's twin Aphelios was burdened by the weight of expectations. He trained with his moonstone blades until he bled, ready to protect his fellow Lunari. He bonded only with his sister, preferring her company to others'. Alune herself trained as a seer, revealing hidden paths and truths by moonlight. As she grew in power, however, the tasks she undertook required her to leave their home.
The Temple Opens[]
With his sister being gone more often, Aphelios grew desperate for purpose. He decided to perform a ceremony which would reveal one's path. In doing so, he discovered a pool where poisonous noctum flowers grew. The blooms could be distilled into a liquid that would open him to the night's power - however, drinking it caused Aphelios to feel so much pain that he became numb to everything else.
One day, the Lunari temple, the Marus Omegnum, began to come into phase to emerge from the Spirit Realm for the first time in centuries. Every time the temple opened, a person gifted in magic was chosen to occupy it. Alune was chosen to be the occupant. Lunari from around the mountain to watch, and Aphelios, who was not known for asking for things, asked to attend.
But as the halls of the temple entered the physical realm, the Solari discovered the ceremony. They attacked the Lunari, defeating Aphelios and causing him to reach for the noctum flowers and eat one. Alune rushed deeper into the temple and eventually reached its heart. There, her magical abilities were amplified. Through the poison in Aphelios' blood Alune could give him power and give him new moonstone weapons.
Alune drew herself and the temple back into the spirit realm to keep it safe from the Solari. Inside, she could send power anywhere, as long as it had a focus, like the poison in Aphelios' blood from eating the noctum flower. With this newfound power, the two of them vowed to protect the Lunari at all costs.
You Are the Weapon[]
- Main article: You Are the Weapon
Aphelios, along with Alune looking through his senses, was in a cave. Preparing for an attack, Aphelios drank poison from the noctum flowers in order to make sure that Alune could better connect to him through the poison in his body. After preparing, Aphelios scaled Mount Targon with the help of his weapons. He reached his destination, an area on the side of the mountain. This area contained several Solari people, who he quickly killed. On the ground, he found a 
scimitar. With this discovery, he and Alune realized that 
its owner was running. Aphelios picked it up and walked into the night, intent on finding her.
