History

The Sai Kahleek is a harsh, southern desert defined by rolling plains of sand, sharp stones and eerie silence. Located between the edge of the jungles and the capital, it is for the most part, completely uninhabited besides the Xer'Sai Voidborn and their queen Rek'Sai, who have claimed vast swaths of the desert. Traders and armed caravans will go hundreds of miles out of their way to avoid her territory, though cunning bandits have been known to lure the unwary into her killing grounds.

Locations

• Xolan: This town was once esteemed as a paradise in the middle of Sai Kahleek. It was long destroyed before Kai'Sa and Taliyah could reach the town.

Wildlife

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.

The Great Weaver

“	▶️  "The Great Weaver says every lesson is a gift."
	— Taliyah

The Great Weaver is a Shuriman deity which weaves the lives and destinies of each individual and holds individual triumph into consideration, since even the smallest rock is important in weaving the larger tapestry of life. Belief in the Great Weaver started some time after the fall of Shurima and is widely practiced by nomads and shepherds.
