Lore
- Nasus is more than 3796 years old and less than 3900 years old.

Nasus is the older brother of Renekton and both of them were promoted at the same time.

Shurima and was possibly located somewhere near the Renek River. The brothers may have originated here and Renekton may have been named after him.

Amumu due to her power's connection to death.
- The Ritual of Ascension takes a long time and
Xerath kept him for much longer than normal (thus his body was almost destroyed ...) so he gave time for Nasus and Renekton to return (and a day for mortals, it may only be a few hours for Ascended beings ...).
