File:XerathSquare.png Xerath is an Ascended Magus of ancient Shurima, a being of arcane energy writhing in the broken shards of a File:Mana Surge.png magical sarcophagus. For millennia, he was trapped beneath the desert sands, but the rise of Shurima freed him from his ancient prison. Driven insane with power, he now seeks to take what he believes is rightfully his and replace the upstart civilizations of the world with one fashioned in his image.
