Lore[edit source]
- The city-states of the Great Desert have long been lost to time, but their ruins—and the ancient pharaohs who once ruled them—lie hidden just beneath the sands.
- Pharaohs
Pharaoh Amumu
Boy-king of the southern wastes, Amumu's mummified body still haunts the halls of his ancient tomb. His mournful sobbing can be heard over the brutal desert winds, luring in unwitting adventurers.
Pharaoh Nasus
Immortal beast of the northern lands, Nasus wanders the expanse of the Great Desert in search of his once-green kingdom. He conjures vast sandstorms to cover his tracks, hiding his existence from the world.
Pharaoh Nidalee
Worshiped as a god-queen of the Great Desert, Nidalee is the avatar of the glorious cat-god, Sypakaa. As war tears through the land, Nidalee will do whatever it takes to protect her city and her temple from those who would dare threaten them.
