Baccai

Baccai is a term Shurumans apply to Ascended beings the Ascended Host judged unfit to carry the title of God-Warrior. It functions as a broad label rather than a precise classification, and because it rests on the judgment of those using it, its meaning shifts with the speaker. The word marks a distinction in standing among the Ascended, not a separate origin. The Baccai are counted among the transformed races of Runeterra, one of six race categories alongside mortal, spiritual, artificial, cosmic, and void. They are sapient, and they descend from the Ascended. Speakers of the term and those it describes are associated with Ixtali, Targonian, and Shuruman tongues. Baccai appear in connection with Ixtal, Shurima, and Targon. Champions linked to the Baccai include Azir, K'Sante, Nasus, Pantheon, Rammus, Renekton, Sivir, Taliyah, Varus, and Xerath. No Baccai lineage is recorded as lost.
