**Guardians of the Sand** is a series of alternate future/universe skins in League of Legends. Set in an alternate Shurima , all of the champions are ancient tomb guardians and evil spirits of the desert.

## Lore

Powerful guardians stand watch over the tomb of an ancient horror, so that it may never threaten the world again. But they may already be too late...

Guardians
* Guardian of the Sands Kha'Zix
	+ Kha'Zix, the devouring scarab—ancient guardian of the sands, we invoke thee to protect us from an evil of our own making. Let no man tread upon these hallowed grounds, lest you consume them utterly.

* Guardian of the Sands Rammus
	+ Rammus, the skewering wheel—ancient guardian of the sands, we invoke thee to protect us from an evil of our own making. Let no man tread upon these hallowed grounds, lest they be broken beneath your unforgiving carapace.

* Guardian of the Sands Skarner
	+ Skarner, the gilded scorpion—ancient guardian of the sands, we invoke thee to protect us from an evil of our own making. Let no man tread upon these hallowed grounds, lest in your rage they are torn asunder.

* Guardian of the Sands Xerath
	+ Xerath, the liquid light—ancient guardian of the sands, we invoke thee to protect us from an evil of our own making. Let no man tread upon these hallowed grounds, lest you drown them in your purifying radiance.

Spirits
* Risen Fiddlesticks
	+ Once upon a time in a faraway land, a jealous young emperor invoked profane summoning rites in exchange for power. When the ancient horror Fiddlesticks stepped forth, he did not aid the boy, and in an instant, his empire was utterly destroyed. The fiend was trapped beneath the ruins… until now.

* Sand Wraith Pyke
	+ The vengeful ghost of an ancient caravan master betrayed by his guards, Pyke now lurks within the golden halls of the desert’s remaining city-states. He hunts anyone and everyone who attracts his gaze, claiming they all condemned him to death.
