Peoples & Races of Shurima

Aspect Host God-Warrior — Sunborn Ascended welcomed into Shurima's Host, unlike the Baccai, and known for their animal-featured forms across Ixtal, Shurima, and Targon. Human — The dominant sapient race of Runeterra, of unknown origin, reshaped by magic into Ascended, Undead, and Vastayashai'rei, or by machinery into cyborgs. Magicborn — Humans born with innate magical abilities, treated differently across cultures. Vastaya Troll — A brutish humanoid species split between the tribal frost-trolls of the Freljord, the sand-trolls of the south, and the scattered giant-trolls of Valoran. Brackern — Giant sapient scorpions native to Shurima and Ixtal, the first beings to wield Earth Elemental Magic, living in clans led by beds of broodmothers. Ascended — Humans remade by Shurima's Sun Disc ritual into deathless beings whose celestial power outstrips anything else mortal Runeterra can offer. Baccai — Ascended beings the Ascended Host refused to call God-Warriors, named by a Shuruman word whose meaning depends entirely on who is using it. Voidborn — Sapient constructs of the Watchers of The Void, built to absorb and understand Runeterra in preparation for their makers' return. Darkin — Fallen Shuriman God-Warriors who took up blood-magic and tried to conquer the world. Every known Darkin is now sealed in a weapon, cut off from its old form. Sand Soldier — Magical sand constructs summoned by Emperor Azir to form spectral armies.
