Since the establishment of the Alliance, the power disputes in the Runeterras have been effectively contained, and even the battle for mineral resources in the Karamanda region has been calmed down by the Alliance's intervention. But with a new Defender Hero joining the Alliance, the days of Valoran's return to calm have once again made a small wave.

"Is this it?" A woman who looked like an explorer asked. "See the ruins of the annex? Shows we've come to the right place. Sivir, thanks to your help. The other woman replied. No need, we're all here for the sake of profit, and this kind of politeness should be saved, Cassiopeia. A month ago, she received an invitation from Cassiopeia to join a treasure hunt. After arriving at Shurima, she realized that this so-called treasure hunt was actually a tomb robbery. Sivir, a former tomb robber, was naturally the perfect candidate to serve as Cassiopeia's assistant. But in reality, Sivir did not trust this Noxian noblewoman at all, but she was certainly willing to take risks for the sake of Forgivema's endless treasures. After a day of advancing in the Shurima Desert, the group found the ancient ruins of Shurima. However, due to the passage of time, the entire ruin was buried in the yellow sand, and only a part of it was exposed, so in order to succeed in the plan, they could only choose to enter the ruins, that is, dive into the yellow sand.

Sivir looked up at the sun and said nothing, only to watch as the men blew the walls of the ruins with explosives. Sivir was nervous, and she felt as if something was calling her from within the ruins. Soon after, Cassiopeia's men blew up an entrance, and the group followed into the ruins. The ruins were pitch black and smelled of mold, and they lit torches to go deeper, and in the faint light, they could see the entire structure of the ruins. It's like a palace, and although it has been buried in yellow sand, it still shows its former momentum. Cassiopeia looked around and sighed, "This should be the ruins of the Shurima Empire, it's really huge. They kept going, but they didn't encounter any traps or traps, and Cassiopeia couldn't help but wonder if he thought about it, "Maybe this place was buried in the yellow sand by an accident, and not used as a tomb." Cassiopeia replied, "If it was an accident, what could have caused such a vast empire to come to naught?" Xavier shook his head.

A moment later, the group walked into the center of the dungeon, and what appeared in front of them was an endless array of jewels, and Sivir was suddenly excited. He said happily: "There are really treasures, it seems that our efforts have indeed been in vain." At this time, Cassiopeia sneered, "It is my efforts that have not been in vain. Before Sivir could react, a knife shining with cold light stabbed into Sivir's chest. You...... What are you doing......" Sivir looked back at Cassiopeia with a fierce face. Cassiopeia sneered, "You're naïve, Sivir. Do you really think I'm going to give away the treasure I have gotten away? You're just a pawn of mine, and when my goal is achieved, you're useless. Sivir fell to the ground and said unwillingly: "Mean! Cassiopeia smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, goodbye." ”

In this way, Cassiopeia left the place with the baby, leaving Sivir alone in the depths of the underground palace. In the last moments of her life, she once again felt a deep force calling her. She was bleeding all over the floor, but she inadvertently opened a kind of mechanism. In an instant, the entire underground palace was illuminated by the light, and in the light, a figure gradually became clear. At the same time, an ethereal voice came: "Shurima, your emperor has returned. A wizard in a golden robe appeared out of thin air, he waved his hand, as if an earthquake, the entire ruins slowly rose to the surface, he slowly approached Sivir and waved his hand, as if reborn, Sivir woke up again from the brink of death, she looked at the person in front of her, and said tremblingly: "Who are you?" Without raising his head, the wizard said, "I am the Emperor of the Shurima Empire, the guardian of the power of ascension, Azir." Sivir looked at the bird-headed wizard and felt a shock in his heart.

A few days later, Azir entered League of Legends with an introduction from Sivir. Azir can be said to be the predecessor of Sivir, he was once the emperor of the Shurima Empire, he was deceived by his national teacher Zelas, not only lost the ascension magic, but was also buried in the desert by Zelas and the entire Shurima Empire. Hundreds of years after his death, Sivir arrived by accident, and her blood brought Azir back to earth, and at the same time, Azir was reborn to revive Sivir from his death. Azir's body has been destroyed and he has been reincarnated in the form of a bird's head, but at the same time he has once again possessed the power of ascension, which allows him to manipulate the sands and become a powerful wizard.

The War College accepted the ancient emperor and audited him for his dark energy. The so-called dark energy audit is to check whether the subject has mastered spells based on dark energy or black magic, and if so, it is necessary to apply mental imprisonment. Preventing it from using the dark to do anything that threatens Valoran's peace is also one of the Alliance's main means of controlling its heroes, and most of the heroes who use the dark are subject to this confinement. Obviously, Azir doesn't belong to this category of defender heroes, so he doesn't need to be constrained.

After saving the day, Sivir has turned against Cassiopeia, and she is always ready to recover everything she owes from this woman, and Azir has won an encounter with her former enemies after entering the League of Legends. Azir hates Zelas's betrayal, and he is ready to take it back at any time, but it must be mentioned that Zelas is a hero who has been imprisoned as a defender, and once the confinement is lifted, Zelas will have even more terrifying powers. Even so, Azir will not rest on his laurels, and his anger will lead him on the path to eliminating traitors.

At the same time as a new Defender hero is ushered in, a great festival will soon take place in distant Ionia. It's just that to everyone's surprise, this event will be the fuse that will once again unrest the Runeterrae Continent, and it will also be the starting point for the awakening of all dark heroes.
