Concept art of Shurima Desert
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. 
Nasus, the Curator of the Sands, also resides there, feeling most at home near the desert's crumbling ruins.
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, 
Ezreal, the Prodigal Explorer, uncovered one of these treasures - 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. For some unknown reason, the amulet is highly attuned to summoning magic.
