While I enjoyed Taliyah's short little video, I do have a lore concern. Someone explain how Taliyah is going to make it to Shurima without encountering Rek'sai. In Rek'sais lore it explains how people would go hundreds of miles out of their way to avoid running into her, yet Taliyah is clearly going directly in a straight line to Shurima. She isnt flying so Rek should certainly be able to sense Taliyah moving through her killing grounds. Anyone have any theories?
Sharjo6 votesEasy. Rek'Sai live in the Sai, which is in southern Shurima. Taliyah went to the Freljord and then went south to get to Shurima, as such she went through northern and central Shurima to reach the capital. As such she would've missed Rek'Sai by hundreds of miles.

Thank you makes more sense now.
RiotWAAARGHbobo5 votesRek'Sai inhabits "The Sai" it is a particularly harsh desert of loose broken rock but it doesn't even cover a 1/8 of Shurima. The Sai is one of the largest deserts but it's bordered by several other deserts and dried lakes.

Care if I pick your brain quickly then? (because my largest joy in writing is world-building)
If it barely covers a tiny sliver of Shurima, wouldn't that kinda defeat the "fear" of Rek'sai altogether for the people of Shurima? If they know that she only ranges the Sai, and that entering it is near-certain death, wouldn't the argument be made that they're never going out of their way to avoid it?
Put another way; doesn't it weaken Rek'sai's backstory/fear if she has only a tiny sliver of Shurima to stalk underneath the sands?
Duke Anax2 votes1/8th isn't exactly a tiny sliver And Shurima is not exactly small to beginn with.
Depending on the topography the Sai could be coevring several major direct routes in the south of Shurim andcut off a large chunk of the land behind it, as well as large stretches of the rest of southern valoran.

Is there a big world map or something that you guys use to keep track of where everything is?

Hey can you tell the guys on the league community stream not to spoil the lore. They pretty much said rek sai destroys Taliyah's village. Also that the void gate is in shurima and is spawning monsters... I really hope this is not true and they are just pulling our legs.

Have you ever seen Tremors? Just stay on the residual boulders. No one is going to get that reference.

Don't think he's ever been good or evil, he's just got his own ambition (Which is to bring back his empire and rule all of Shurima once again) that kind of conflicts with the modern nomadic culture.
Eclipse Leona1 votes"he's a dictator, but a kind one."
I don't think he's all that bad, he just wants his kingdom back the way it was before Xerath's treachery.
ModWulf Helhammer3 votesHe isn't. People just don't know he freed all the slaves and think he's going to make it like the old empire again. Having your city blown up in a sun storm isn't very conducive to historical records.
Milkydragon1 votesSomeone told me that they we're ditching azirs emancipation of slaves in favor of taliya's lore, flithy liars. I thought my favorite bird would become a rude dude
GreenLore1 votesWell I could see Azir taking more extreme routes if the shurimans don't accept him,though overall he would do it for the greater good of his people.
