I’ve been picturing Azir paraphrasing this iconic speech to the ghosts of his shit-ass parents the moment before they finally shuffle off for good and never pester him again.
“You may have created me, but you were never my parents.
Parents are kind. Parents protect you. Parents raise you.
I was protected by Xerath, whom you and all your sycophants taught me to dismiss and disvalue, and by Sivir, Taliyah, Samira, Akshan and K’Sante, whom you’d not even look upon if you were to cross their paths.
I was raised by Nasus, my true father, and his brother Renekton, whom I will rehabilitate even if you see him as of no worth.
They are my family.
This is my home. And you are not welcome here.
Arise.”
It should be noted that whenever I write of Azir having a confrontation with someone it always leaves him shaken and in need of comfort, straight-up in tears or simply upset.
Not this time.
During this confrontation Azir stands firm and fierce, staring at his ghosts in the face before they vanish for good. Almost as if he was the parent scolding his rowdy children. When he leaves, it’s in triumph.
Also the fact that his parents were shit isn’t meant to justify what he did and the system he was complicit in, but give context to how he became this way. Azir knows he’s the product of a crooked system and an abusive family, which led him to make the crucial mistakes that doomed Shurima and took all his dear ones.
Now that they’re no more he can abdicate in peace.

After Azir vanished and Renekton was locked away, Nasus handled the funerary honors of the queen, the prince and the princess.
Since their father wasn’t there to weep for them, he built them a beautiful shrine in a safe oasis, prayed the Fading Icon to protect them and cherish them, and kept them in his heart not unlike his own brother and son Emperor.
After he reunited with Azir, he showed him the place.
They sat there for a long time, Nasus holding his little bird tight as he poured his tears into the sand.
His pain makes mine look sweet, the Curator thinks as he embraces his ward. They’re both dressed in full black, the color of night, enemy of the sun.
“I’ll kill him”, Azir mutters. “Xerath. I’ll kill him. And when I… when I’m done, he’ll have no shrine.”
“I’ll be there all the way, my lord”.
They’d come back at a later time, with Azir’s entire retinue (now including K’Sante) in tow, and they all bring their homages to the deceased.
“My lord, if I may ask”, Akshan asks in a private moment. “You grieve for your wife, but you accept her death as a given. How come?”
It’s obvious who he’s referring to. His main priority with Azir had always been “make sure he doesn’t become Viego 2.0, and stop him if he does”.
Azir gives his retainer a wistful sigh. “Because I want to look forward, my friend.”
He’s seen what being stuck in the past has done to Nasus. Even with Renekton slowly recovering, the Curator pains himself endlessly.
“I’ll mourn, and grieve, and remember. The scar of their passing will never stop healing. I will burn within me for eons on end. But I’ll keep moving forward, and embrace Shurima itself as the family of mine.”
Some of which more than others, he thinks, as Sivir, Samira, Taliyah, Nasus, K’Sante and Akshan himself pour their offerings to the shrine.
Nasus’ pain makes mine look sweet. At least, I don’t grieve alone.
