Lore
The Spurned
While the secrets of the Sun Disc were fiercely guarded by the Ascended Host, it was not an exact science. Those mortals who underwent an Ascension ritual but emerged flawed or incomplete were known as Baccai, and it was considered a kindness to end their inhuman suffering as quickly as possible.

Physiology
The Baccai share some physical elements with the god-warriors. Their lifespan is dramatically increased. However they are not immortal and bleed, be crippled, or even killed like other ascended. Unlike their god-warrior and darkin counterparts, the Baccai forms are malformed and flawed so they do not have the same incredible strength, speed, nor strong affinity with different forms of magic.
Like the god-warriors, most resemble anthropomorphic versions of animals and even gain the unique attributes of such creatures. Because the nature of their flawed ascensions their forms are a incomplete as their bodies still retain humanoid features and flaws.
Trivia
- Xerath is a Baccai, just a unique aberration [1] as he did not take the traditional anthropomorphic form like other Shuriman Ascended.
- It is possible that the the creature with a withered arm and birdlike features that Varus encountered during his travels back to Shurima was a baccai, as it shared physical features of the flawed ascended.
