Background[]

Early life[]

Sivir was born in Shurima, her childhood was very hard as her parents were killed by looters and she alone had to grow up on the streets along with other orphans stealing food from local markets and delving into ancient ruins in search of trinkets that she could sell.

Sivir sometimes had to fight with the other children to keep some of the loot they found, but she rarely kept anything, after her so-called friend Mira tricked her and stole it, Sivir swore to herself that no one would ever come back to betray.

When she reached adolescence she became the guide and lackey of a group of mercenaries led by the well-known daughter Siharo, although her skill with weapons led her to become Siharo's sergeant, Sivir realized that she was left with most of the treasures even if they were obtained thanks to Sivir. Sivir gathered her fellow mercenaries and rebelled against Siharo, the two duelled and Sivir emerged victorious, but was unable to kill her mentor and abandoned her in the desert wishing her luck to rebuild her life.

Contemporary history[]

Sivir and her mercenaries earned a great reputation which was known throughout the desert, they accepted any task offered to them if the pay was very good, one day she and her companions were given the task of recovering an ancient relic known as the Chalikar .Accompanied by the buyer's personal guards, Sivir searched for the relic for several months and finally found it, the weapon left Sivir amazed as it was quite magnificent, the captain of the guard told Sivir to give it to her but she refused and with just one movement of the weapon decapitated him and all his followers and Sivir fled with the weapon in hand. Sivir's reputation grew further and she became known beyond the desert, when the Noxian expeditions heard about her, it was Cassiopeia Du Coteau who was most interested in her exploits and proceeded to hire Sivir to sack the ancient city of Shurima.

Little by little they entered the ruins of the city, several of Sivir's companions died due to the constant traps they found, but Cassiopeia refused to back down, when they reached the great door of a tomb surrounded by ancient statues of guardians and reliefs of the warriors of the past ,Sivir was quite captivated by those beast-headed beings and their great fights against monsters of the underworld, taking advantage of Sivir's distraction. Cassiopeia stabbed Sivir with a dagger in the back causing her to scream in pain and collapse soaking the sand her blood, Cassiopeia took the Chalikar from her dying body to open the door to the tomb, unaware that it unleashed a powerful curse. Near death, Sivir watched as the statue of a giant serpent came to life and proceeded to spray Cassiopeia with his poison.

Sivir took her Chalikar and tried to flee from the tomb, but near the exit life began to leave her body and she fell to the ground, the last thing she heard before she fainted was the roars of maddened Gods being released from the tomb .But surprisingly that was not the end because she opened her eyes and realized that her wounds had healed and in front of her was her savior. Azir the last emperor of Shurima, he explained to her that Sivir is his descendant and that through his veins runs royal blood. He explained to her that the blood he had spilled had awakened her spirit and he took her to the pool of life where he healed her wounds. Azir later began to complete his ascension and Sivir watched in amazement as he became an Ascended and the ancient Shurima began to rise from the sands. Sivir quickly ran out of the pool and saw how the ancient Shurima returned from the grave. Now Sivir, along with Nasus and Taliyah, is preparing to decide whether to embrace the fate they gave her or forge her own on the sands of Shurima.

Personality[]

Sivir is possessed of a mercenaries' code of values and isn't motivated by anything as much as material wealth. Causes, nobility and matter of honor pale in her eyes when compared to the alluring clinking of coin. Shaped by a harsh childhood spent trying to surviving and make a living in the Shuriman Sai while always on the lookout for betrayal, Sivir is inherently a distrustful person. This is evidenced by her being slow to let down her guard around Taliyah even though the Stoneweaver had been the one to rescue Sivir and stitch her wounds after finding her bleeding outside Vekaura. Sivir's pragmatic self-interest plays a large part in why she doesn't embrace her role as Azir's heir, preferring her modest life as a mercenary/fortune hunter while avoiding the destiny seemingly placed before her.

Appearance[]

Sivir is a beautiful girl of average height, curvaceous and somewhat toned, she has tan skin, long jet black hair that falls down her back, and shiny blue eyes.

She wears somewhat revealing black and grey clothing, with black boots, gloves, a bra, and a black skirt with gold accents, a white scarf around her neck, and a gold tiara with a turquoise jewel in the center.

Powers and Abilities[]

Expert Combatant: Sivir is a fairly skilled and highly skilled fighter.

Weapons[]

Chalikar: Sivir possesses a giant chalikar as a weapon. This weapon acts as a boomerang so that she can throw it and immediately return to it afterward.

Relations[]

Cassiopeia Cassiopeia[]

Cassiopeia Cassiopeia hired Sivir to raid ancient Shuriman ruins and later stabbed her to steal her blade in order to open a tomb.

Azir Azir[]

Sivir wants nothing to do with Azir Azir, for even though he saved her life she doesn't want to owe him anything, let alone assume the responsibility of uniting Shurima which, in her eyes, will always be a lawless, ruthless land. Sivir seems to have descended from Azir's Azir's illegitimate child whom he was never aware of. Xerath Xerath will hunt her down no matter what, for in her he sees the shackles that still bind him as well as the decadent society that brought him nothing but misery.

Taliyah Taliyah[]

Taliyah Taliyah promised the Great Weaver to nurse Sivir back to health and to protect her when she was wounded after leaving the newly risen Shurima city.

Nasus Nasus[]

Nasus Nasus sees in Sivir the hope of a reborn Shurima and the key to defeating Xerath Xerath.

Echoes in the Stone

By Ariel Lawrence

Taliyah was outrunning the sandstorm when she first noticed the water. In the beginning, it was faint, just a cool dampness she felt as she lifted the stones from deep beneath the sand. As she drew closer to old Shurima, wet streaks dripped from each new stone as if they were weeping. Taliyah knew the rock had stories to tell as she sped across the desert, but she didn't have time to listen, to hear if they were tears of joy or sadness.

Trivia[]

  • Based on the timeline of events, Sivir is possibly in her late 20s- early 30s.
  • Sivir does honor her mercenary agreements 99% of the time, but she offers her services to the highest bidder. When she found the crossblade weapon, she felt such an unbreakable connection to the blade that its value to her surpassed the money she'd get from the Lord from Nashramae.[1]
    • She does not discriminate working for anyone and killing people including the innocent, so long as she's paid enough to do so.
  • Her weapon, the Chalicar the Chalicar, was previously owned by the God-Warrior queen Setaka.
    • In the story Twilight of the Gods, it is revealed that the Chalicar the Chalicar is from the Mount Targon Crest icon Celestial's Kingdom above Targon's peak.
      • If funnelled, the weapon is able to cast Portal Jump Portal Jump and allows releasing an empowered form of Moonfalling Moonfalling to reverse the Ascension away from the Darkin.
      • At the end of the story, the Chalicar had absorbed the - for want of of a better phrase - Darkin DNA essence, which - combined with Ta'anari's heart - would allow humans to craft the weapons tailored to trap the Darkin at a later date.[2]
      • Tomb of Emperors is Shuriman, but the events of the story imbued the Chalicar with a resonance to the Ascended, so it acted as a channel between Sivir and her distant ancestor, Azir Azir which allowed her blood to revive him. As the Alchemists of Old said, "Like attracts like...".[3]
      • Based on the description in the story, Sivunas Alahair, who is destined to either destroy or unite Shurima Crest icon Shurima, may be Sivir.
