Noxians when they realise they've been killing the same warriors for the 10th time:
Confused Panicked Yellings
Report sand dudes for intentionnal feeding.
@@erramus6369 it's not feeding they're just getting closer to their power spikes like Yasuo mains
Darius: WITNESS TRUE STRENGTH!
Azir: POCKET SAND!
Not Pocket sand, Sand Land.
more like confused yelling
Noxians attacking with vast armies, superior technologies, modern tactics:
Shurimans:
Sand is endless.
Sand is coarse, and rough, and it gets everywhere.
The noxians can't compete with the power of S H U R I M A
@@Adirbal tttrrrrrruuueeee. Facts.
Noxus is still better tho, glory to General Swain!
Throw some fire in the sand soldiers, then shatter the glass
@@galio7741 Nasus has been stacking for thousands of years. They stand no chance.
Azir’s return would be actually so crazy for the people of Runeterra. Imagine Alexander the Great or Genghis Khan suddenly coming back to life and raising their old kingdom, along with thousands and thousands of soldiers, out of clay or something
the difference beeing that in runeterra there is magic...
in our world there isnt
which would make it even crazier
''Mongolia never fell, it only awaited my return ''
-Gengis Khan
that would be a very scary thought,all these soldiers waving their mighty swords and bows, while our army just has machine guns, bombs etc. truly we are outmatched
So basically The Mummy 3?
''Czech nation will rise once again''
- Charles IV
Azir's interactions with Sivir can be summarized as:
"How do you do fellow kids"
True and It’s kinda adorable.
Am I "cool" now?
Considering that my league username is Azirs Pantaloons, I am very glad my name is canon now
this is funny af
Yeah i get it lmao pinoy people be like
haha nice name
Sandcrafter would be a cool class in the mmo
Ahh yeah, cant wait to be a golden ambasodor too ! We will make Shurima great again!
So what do we call our SHURIMA clan for the mmo
The description says that only's Azir's most trusted soldier can become sand soldier.
Because of that, I think that sandcrafter would become way less cool if thousands of them were just running around

Bold of Papa Necrit to assume we don't want a video over 30 minutes long
it's not about us it's always about the casuals.
@@Ticazoid95 ikr 🙄🙄
Yeah but algorithms
Don't worry, Azir is just playing Sandbox.
Get out
No no, he’s got a point
Underrated
We need some interactions between Azir and Swain or Darius. Azir is rebuilding the ancient Empire of Shurima and Noxus has conquered large swaths of Shurima’s north coast. There’s a war brewing there
That actually depends cause Azir cares about his people. So if his people are ok with being under Noxus, he might decide to instead do a peace treaty in a way. Then again, we don't actually know what Azir's overall goals are.
@@jcmahrt5100 Azir wants to help his people and return Shurima to greatness, but his methods are what is the issue. Maybe he will adapt to the new world and bring prosperity as well as he can.
Instead.. he could go the way of his ancestors and unite the rest of the continent under the shuriman banner, if they want it or not, washing over them as a bloody wave of sand, while he cements his absolute power with tyranny and vassaldom.
That is the Azir conundrum, his goal is set, but the means he uses will determine his role in Runeterra.
@@justascarecrow6988 may I remind everyone of how icathia fell--they didn't want to be under shuriman rule, so shurima decided to try and force them to which lead to the large void rift down south and a very old purple thing without a real weapon
@@justascarecrow6988 That is true. Though, we can say that Azir doesn't completely think the same way as his ancestors did, so he might change the way people would think of the emperors of old. After all, he was preparing to free the slaves when the time was right, when Shurima no longer needed slaves in order to function as properly as can be. So that is a subject for debate and speculation.
Do keep in mind, Noxians are pretty elitist and when it came to the conquered territories iirc they weren't treated the best. Upon seeing this and finding out about Noxus in general, Azir will almost certainly declare war on them and possibly even Demacia if they don't get it together with the whole mage civil war.
I'd actually go as far to say that the only place I can think of as truly safe from Azir would be Ionia since everything we've seen so far of them, discounting Xayah wanting to remove all humans from the island, is they wish to remain at peace
my boy Zilean is in some of the cards just like Zoe was before her realeze
the 2|3 2 mana drop literally has Zilean standing behind him^^
Release*
Same for LeBlanc
what realeze means? I googeled it and it shows nothing
@@multivitamin425it's a typo
SHURIMA, YOUR EMPEROR HAS RETURNED
But, you're from Noxus. Traitor.
Just kidding heh heh.
I didn't know that noxus was a vasol of shurima 😂
Cursed lunatic for Emperor! VOTE NOW!!
THE ORDER IS GIVEN
@@chosenofkhorne2951 Nah, Darius is just excited at the prospect of a neverending war.
Noxus attacking with their vast armies:
Shurimans fighting back:
I can do this all day
Noxus got bomb btw ,and thier technology in war is 10 time better than shurima
True, but since the sun disk is back, Shurima has more ascended warriors.
Remember. Controlling the sand is the same thing as controlling the continent. From what we know rn it sounds as if their armies are "endless". They could throw 100 sand soldier at 1 noxian soldier and still win at the end of the day. And some of the cards in game are really amazing. Forgot the name of the card but it costs like 12 and is a enormous flying chimera (something like that). Don't think noxians got anything against that. Noxians WILL lose in Shurima. There is no way they win, based on what we know rn.
Remember. When a sand warrior "dies" it "returns" to the sand. Aka. They can just spawn a new one. My point is that shurimans don't use any ressources to fight. They can just deplete their enemies ressources.
@@izira6351 they don't have more but they can create more. So they are growing much stronger than any other "faction". In Taliyahs bio we already heard about the many tribes flocking to the capital city. Shurima will be no.1 in no time. But. They do have a civil war to finish. So they can't really expand for now.
@@izira6351 idk whether the celestial gonna let azir create more ascended warriors since the last time they do that they have the darkin and have to send the aspects just to wipe them out . Also I think Noxus have blood magic pass down by the Darkin .Noxus is the nation is just build on war and conquer so I still think they kinda have the edge here
I hate to be this picky, but the Sandstone Charger is actually part bull, and not part horse. This is why they have the face of a bull engraved on the front of his armor.
Yah I don't know why he would think that they could be baccai either, unless all baccai look the same. There's multiple of these creatures, they might just be a different class of soldier from ancient Shuriman times.
Hmm I see what you mean but to be fair the body shape and the position of the humanoid head really looks like a horse/part horse
@@og8263 I must confess I am biased : I play in French, and in french, they are litarally referred to as "bulls" (the same way "The charger", the celestial card, is also referred to as "The bull" in the French version of the game). As we don't know if the translation is cannon, it might be a mistake, but I'm fairly certain it isn't.
Im pretty sure that "calendar" is also some kind of a map of the empire
I was thinking it seemed more like a blueprint of the capital.
I understand him being able to reconstruct it with easy, but to do that he must have and image of it, so that magic creates a map of the city then he controls the trasnformations.
Shurima rises once more, maybe Aatrox would probs want to serve
Hasn't he basically went insane? so i doubt
But I hope they revive darkin lore with this
Maybe Aatrox would probably ask all Shuriman to "come".
He's already gone mad because of the void, even before being locked in that sword. To him, his whole purpose was to end everything.
well, he ascended under the sun and was sealed under the moon, maybe azir can undo the darkin’s prison
@@Valigarmanda in fact he was the most sane after the void it was having his heart ripped out and betrayed him while they sealed him in an ancient prison that literally prevents him from feeling anything which made him insane
Sandcrafter: *makes sandstone charger*
other Sandcrafters: "Gary, we need to talk about that fursona thing..."
Azir is probably my favourite character in the lore by a longshot.
Just the entire premise of an ancient, powerful and benevolent king ressurecting a dead kingdom to its former glory makes me shiver (in a good way).
It's just so BADASS and I love the idea of a mostly defeated nation standing together and embracing their heritage to rise back to glory.
With the sundisk, Ascended warriors, infinite soldiers and Azir/Nasus leading the nation, I'm keen to watch Shurima grow to be the top power in Runeterra! Too long has Shurima been overlooked!
Targon will always be Top tier. As long as there are the Selestials there. The aspects are not very powerful tho. They have equal power to an ascented I believe
@@kaitosama8538 Exactly - only as far as we know they can keep making more Ascended by choice (whereas Aspects seem to need to be chosen), so I think my sand bros got a leg up there 😆
In case you didnt know, Aspiring Chronomancer's art has Zilean on it
All the predict cards with clocks and shit mention zilean or his lab in icathia, including xenotype researchers. he's even in the crowd for khahiri. He's probably coming along with ekko in the next bundle.
I didn't reach the end of the video b4 typing this, forgive my impudence
@@zackdgod4680 do we know when they are released?
@@minhsu6082 there's an announcement poster with rise of the ascendant dates. I forgot where it is, but it has the dates for all the bundles
So does Khahiri the student
Azir: SHURIMA IS NOT LOST
Azir: SHURIMA
Azir: SHURI-
SHUT UP!!
adawdawdawd
YOU MAY NOT FOLLOW, BUT YOU MUST WITNESS
I don't believe that just because someone has glowing eyes, they're a sand soldier. (in regards to the emperor's deck) I think they're probably channeling their energy or that their eyes are glowing because their emperor has risen to a new power.
I mean there's also the fact that they're capable of talking/react to Azir while the sand soldiers are silent, they might be humans enhanced by sandcrafters/sun disc in some way which leads to the gold eyes
I think that sands=time.
Sand soldiers aren't "spawned", they are revived corpses/images of previous soldiers. So there would be a maximum limit for soldiers spawned at any one time, but still functionally endless.
Because of that, I think Sand Chargers need to have their sarcophagus/enclosures in order to preserve their corpses as there would only be a limited amount of them.
Or those enclosures help the sand crafter shape the sand easier into that form, and with enough power, they can fill the whole map with sand soldiers.
Again everyone else: "AZIR IS WEARING PANTS?!"
Again me: "He wasn't wearing pants before?"
yeah, before LoR, azir was showing off his fabulous leg feathers
@@averonisgaming9023 I honestly thought he was wearing pants the whole time, mostly cause I didn't pay attention to the art work.
no centaurs in runeterra...
*lillia coughing in the distance*
She is a spirit tho
She is a plant
She is Scotish
she is ________
"We have never seen a lion anywhere on Runeterra..."
I am pretty sure Taliyah encountered 'Great Ionian snow lion' in The Bird and the Branch story.
technically stoneweaving is also sandweaving if u grind the rocks enough
i wonder what will happen when the Ruined king lay hands on the Sun disk, will he corrupt it
Azir : "cant ruin smt thats alr ruined" XD
He'll turn it into a cheap off-brand Shadow Disk
he just recreates the hack of placing over 20 turrets in your fountain
@@tdchronobreak852 Azir: Using the sand, I can cre- OI
Viego: *plays chess using rowers*
This aged rather poorly, unfortunately
Man Azir must make the most insane puppets shows ever seen when he’s bored trying to find xerath😂
Azir can remember the faces of his dead soldiers longer than my memory life.
Lmao I opened the video then my phone gave me a notification for the video
I watch the videos of necrit immediately
Then 2 days later i get the notification from my phone idk
Noxians be like "You are dead, wait, didn't I kill that guy already?"
8:23 maybe it actually endend really well for him and he got a buff girlfriend
Maybe, didn't really looked like he's being stab, just the edge resting on his skin or just a threatening demeanor. Also, doesn't seemed like she's a Renekton followers, based on her beast/pet/ride.
Edited: Nevermind, saw her behind Renekton in his 2nd level card
Ngl I really wanna see him do the Leblanc cards to see the stuff related to swain and the immortal bastion
“We have never seen a centaur in Runeterra”
Lillia: Am I a joke to you?
Centaur plant
She's a faun?
@@jhonerickdial4995 shie not a faun
She's a vastaya related to the both dream and spiritual world.
@@filip-f4602 i mean basically she is one, where her design was based from
15:10 Reminds me of the Wracraft III cinematic where Archimonde destroyed Dalaran by crushing a sand replica of the city, like some sand voodoo doll of some kind.
18:00 "Then there is a card for sandstorm, you know darude jokes" LeL Kekw
Azir: i can create an splitting sand image someone who dies.
Hunter Sung Jin Wo: that is not original
Necrit back with lots of videos, thanks for being our guide to LoL lore
17:42 freaking Infinity Blade looking blade
I just realized: Is Azir a necromancer?
Theory: Enemy Nasus interaction will be canon since it can happen later.
I mean, for now Nasus seems to be okay with Azir, but later he will see danger that comes with Emperor's ambition of conquering the world.
Then Nasus will be an enemy of a tyrant.
This way both interactions might be canon.
I'm pretty sure the dunekeeper is the man from the cinematic. Riot seems to enjoy making main characters 1 drops, like Cithria, the blade squire, and the star Shepard from the targon cinematic. Of course, there could be multiple variants of him. Cithria does have 3 after all.
2:50 the Shuriman "calendar" looks more like a topographic map with the circle around being a compass. people used the stars in the past to tell where they were in the world
Noxus: powerful technology and and modern tactics
Ionia: powerful spiritual powers
Demacia: anti-mage capabilities
Shurima: *POCKET SAND*
Pls make a noxus (black rose card) too
Thanks for this video, Necrit! I was about to sit down and start working on a DnD subclass based on this when I saw this in my recommended.
"But I did do ,just that." ah yes, old league character's lore favorite line
2:02 Here you can see that Azir uses some kind of a celestial sandy magic, which you know, *MAKE SANDS* .
I was wondering around and it pop up nice
how many times do we have to tell you that we don't care how long the video gets we will always watch it fully XD, we love to listen to your stories man.
10:38 In the level up of renekton, you can see him slashing different jackals that are not nasus. I think they're just a vastaya...
me, who onetricks azir: O.o
Damn, you must be sad...
@@galio7741 why tf would they be sad? I onetrick Azir as well its a fucking awesome champion and a tough one to master but an incredible playmaker!
@@andrijabarovic6694 because of the nerf...
@@andrijabarovic6694 right!? Just yesterday someone on ARAM said I shouldn't have played Azir, cuz' " e sucks on aram".
I only died once that game and THAT was on purpose; came back full build!
@@Saphentite i mean, yeah, they are nerfing him to the ground for no reason other than "people like to play him" but that can only make us mad at riot, not rly sad...
I got chills from the beginning to the end of the video
Pretty sure that Azir and the army of Shurima could have a really high chance of fighting against Morekaiser (granted that they are in the desert), or at least hold him off for something or someone that could take him down permanently.
I've always wondered where Lions came from since we got Rengar, a lion vastayan. Though I'm not sure if he was stated to be directly descended from lions. All I know is that the Riot designers heavily emphasized that he was based after lions.
Shuriman expansion is so friggin cool. With new cards (such as Predict, Xenotype Researches and Ancestral boon in Freljord) you can just build decks that give all your followers +6|+6 in one turn (+12|+12 if you have Karma)
what if his appearence resembles a Phoenix , to die only to be reborn stronger than ever -"Shurima has Risen , and it will never fall again"
nice! you released another one!
Nasus: Woof
Renekton: Rawr
Cassiopeia: Hiss
Azir: Tweet
Xerath: UNLIMITED POWEEEEEEEEEER
Sivir: Am I a joke to you?
Cassiopeia ain't ascented btw
Even if you made an hour long explanatory of the lore of Runeterra I will gladly grind them
Honestly for the past 3 years your voice today is way more better than the past
The lore teller of Runeterra
(Will tell us a story until we fall asleep)
Horus was shaped after a falcon not an ibis, which are those birds on that card, so we can assume azir is shaped after a falcon
Ibis was Toth was it not
@@SamaAtlas ye
I assumed that the Sandstone Chimera was just a creature that azir made, similar to how he can make soldiers, he made this legendary beast to prove his power to the people and show he had returned. Nothing as grandiose as bringing a myth back to life.
Necrit: We've never seen a centaur in Runeterra.
Lillia: *cries in a corner*
Shes technically a spirit
Azir really took Pocket-sand to a whole new level.
Shurima legit sounds like a cult with the quotes from Azir's people
I mean, they worship Azir as a god-emperor. Shurima is a theocratic monarchy/empire
The joke about "converting someone to Shurima" and "Shuriman missionaries" is becoming more real lol
This may be just a speculation but maybye the sand wraith skin line are these sand soldiers that azir can make.
15:20 it may be targon but im getting some hella strong Archimonde vibes there
True, same cinematic in w3 when archimonde crushes a city
the golden herold is in the sandswept tomb. it would fit them so much, the spear, the golden boots, the free thighs, the golden shoulder armor and headpiece..
Azir's level up animation shows him raising the sun disc out of the sands, so I think you got that right.
About the sandstone chargers, we do actually see centaur like beings in one other region. The shadow Isles, Hecarim and is legion of spectral riders. Perhaps they were formed after the same image.
It's weird because in his first card what Azir is looking at looks like bot a lunar callendar and a geographical map of the surroudings (the especially tall landmark could be Targon wich would make some sort of sense for Mount Targon to play a role ins the process of ascension).
I'm curious if Azir (and probably Xerath) learned Chronomancy.
Nasus probably learned some of it, capable of using "Wither" spell, aging things temporarly.
But Azir sandcrafting are more like "shaping" (not restoring) things back what was once before.
I don't know how powerful Zilean is with his chronomancy, but I have a feeling that misusing it or being careless comes with a terrible price related to the Void. and Icathia paid for it.
If I remember correctly, skarners race was in shurima; and the crystals can (have been) used for time stuff.
If the sand eroded those crystals, them wouldnt it give sandshapers some extra juice?
to be honest, if you make a 1 hour long lore video, i would still watch it
Necrit is always worried about how long a video is but honestly I just want an hour long video going into detail about literally everything.
That would be so great actually. I need hour long lore videos from Necrit.
I didn't know I'd love the Shuriman lore this much, I'm not keen on Egyptian themed stuff besides JoJo's Bizarre Adventure stuff. But this. I love this.
Imagine Azir like a child that awoke from a dream where he was the emperor and now he is playing with the sand of a beach remembering the mighty castles and armies he rose with a single thought in this dream before the shores of an indifferent world and the tide of betrayal devastated the lands and wiped away his empire, his people and his very soul, leaving dirt and a flat, dead wasteland where tall palaces that touched the sky and cities filled with life once stood. His visions of the city, the legacy, the jewel the world coveted all of it crumbled in seconds before his fading self and powerless gaze. Now awake in grief with the visions gone like dust in the wind his despair took the place of his tattered ambition as he tries desperately to mimic the movements and magic that once guided the prosperity of a nation, his motions slowly become more and more unnatural and mechanical until he resembles a sorrowful puppet of a lost time and the threads that makes his delusion dance lead to the pathetically to bring back the glory of the past
I'm pretty sure it's confirmed that the Dunekeeper is the guy from the cinematic that takes the royal seal to Azir.
he does look like him but where is his mask?
@@grandmashark6443 Maybe he gained his mask and position as Azir's elite as a reward for getting the mask?
@@arthaerus7320 but I think if they wanted to make clear it's the guy from the cinematic they would at least have put the mask in his hand or at his belt. But idk
hey Necrit love the videos i'm just curies are you going to cover on how Nasus knows about kindred do to there enter actions if there in a deck together on legends of runeterra?
One 30 mins vid: nonono
Two 20 mins vid : thats what i like
Got my cup of Joe and a good ol necrit lore video let see hmmm...
What a nice morning to start the day.. also what happened to that janitor guy next to the scp?
Right time, now i can sleep while listening to your voice
idk if you get this a lot, but i really like when you make long videos with a lot of info compacted in one video... i realized you tend to say constantly that videos end up being too long but (idk the rest) i enjoy them :)
Shurima : exists*
Anakin skywalker : *I HATE YOU*
necrit : lions Extincted a while ago
rengar : am i a cat to you ?
I really love the Zilean cards personally, all of them are so cool.
LETS GOOOOOOO NECRIT VIDEO OF 20 MINUTES
Well Rhasst Aatrox and Varus boss is back
and possibly in the future they too, not counting clearly the possibility of azir being able to break the seal that was placed on them
i like how azir is capable of having warfare with minimal casualties, as his sand soldiers can do alot of the work normal ppl would die for
so in a real confrontation noxus vs shurima for example he can literally keep a war without losing any significant numbers
this is what most nations would kill for, especially with non massiv area of effect kinds of weapons ( nukes and so on)
there also arent corpses, just sand, which is instantly a new weapon the next moment
the only real issue for shuriman empire is to get all of shurima under wraps
speak deal with renekton
deal with xerath
deal with as much of the void as possible
perhaps a peace treaty with demacia and ixtal
suddenly they would be the strongest faction around
i feel even targon would not fuck azir up as he is 100% beneficial
if shurima was in the stock market
id say invest now
be rich later
We don't know if sand soldiers are expendable, especially if they're images of fallen soldiers.
9:40 "We have never seen a Centaur in Runeterra."
Lillia: FUCK YOU NECRIT T_T AM I JOKE TO YOU?! A-CHUUU
Anakin's having a panic attack right now
"I dont like sand"
It's rough, course, irritating...and it gets fking everywhere!!
Hey Netcrit, you think you'll ever do one of those '100 epic lines' videos again? I personally loved them
Azir's lore is the only one in league aside from Lissandra I love to hear anything about.
i wonder if we gona see big scale fights in mmorpg :D
last time was this early azir wasnt nerfed 10000000 times
09:41
Lilia is technically not part of Runeterra's mortal plane but it's spiritual plane if that counts.
You forgot to metion the most important part of Emperor's prosperity.
- With this card, I can draw two more cards from my deck!
If you play the game (hoping to have Azir card) and level up Azir to 3, you will gain access to his Emperors Deck n cards and look from there. gaining the text message as well.
Shadow isles has a centaur from demacia's army in one of the card arts. I think it was a giant crab or something exploding
Azir finally put some pants on so now we have to do something about Varus
I see you everywhere hmmm
@@jakesanbuenaventura52 That's because I am everywhere
@@jsc1jake512 probably because I main Aatrox lol
2:40 - I wonder if this will be in line with the new Sentinel of Light, which could be from Shurima... could they then become an Ascended Sentinel?
This is just my theory but i think every ascended is an aspect one with physical body.. Like from Aatrox lore (old lore i think) it is mentioned that he is once an avatar for a now forgotten celestial ideal.. So this is my theory, the difference between Targons' ascended is that the "aspect" takes over the body, or like control the body from afar.. While a Shuriman ascended is a mortal combining with the celestial ideal.. Basically the difference is most of the host of aspects for Targon lost their sense of self while Shuriman ascended becomes the celestial ideal itself.. This explains why there is a great reaction between Pantheon (the aspect) and Aatrox because both of their celestial ideals is close to each other (panth=war/ this is just a guest but i think Aatrox ideal is about nobility or something close to how one conduct his self in war etc. Or it can be justice)... Varus = retribution (maybe related to the fact on how he got the right to be ascended), Rhaast = death (which gives to the idea that Rhaast works with Aatrox as in bad cop and good cop, one brings the justice and the other punishes the wicked), the twin raptor ascended(which go crazy due to their possible aspect) = divination/clairvoyance, Azir with the falcon look = freedom/vision/victory, which also connotes salvation.. Each and every shuriman ascendeds' appearance may have a relation to the celestial ideals they represent..
