Chapter 0: History of League of Legends (Free)

Book friends, you have seen the title of the volume, right? Well, this volume will start from the Battle of the Two Cities and write about the story of the League of Legends universe.

First of all, I would like to strongly recommend the animation "League of Legends: Battle of the Two Cities". Before watching it, I thought it was a money-making work of the League, and I felt that I would not adapt to the American style of painting. After watching it, there are only two words left - a masterpiece.

As for the big background League of Legends, everyone should have heard of this game, and perhaps nearly half of them have played it, but they don’t know much about its background story.

So before starting, I sorted out the story route for everyone and myself, so that this volume can be better read and understood, and so as to avoid too much water in the main text. (Conscience)

The following is the content that Siyang has sorted out recently. Because Riot has a problem with eating books, I dare not guarantee that the sorting is completely correct. If there are mistakes and omissions found by the big guys who know, please remind them.

By the way, although there are many heroes in the League of Legends that are nonsense, there are also many heroes whose background stories are very attractive, such as Pantheon, Mordekaiser, Clockwork, etc. The stories are very interesting. If you are interested, you can also learn about them.

For such a popular game and such a big company, the copywriting must have its charming and wonderful aspects, but sometimes it loses its integrity in order to sell skins and remake heroes...

Finally, today there is only this free 10,000-word chapter, and the real story begins tomorrow!

History of the League of Legends Universe

Part 1, Ancient Times

Endless years ago, when the remnants of the nebula gathered into thousands of worlds, the Star-Forging Dragon King was born and roamed in the heavens with his kind, creating miraculous stars and lighting up the starry sky.

And in the heavens, there are few beings equal to it. Those eternal stars are much weaker than it, and have no creativity or romance.

After endless years, the Dragon King made a surprising discovery. Near a sun it created, a new world appeared, a world with multiple overlapping domains.

This new world is not its work, and the stars seem to be curious about it, asking Thor to get closer to take a look. This is the Runeland.

The Runeland is different from other places, and there is a thriving civilization.

The Rune Universe is not unique. There is also the void outside of matter. The void has no time and space, and its existence has no meaning. It is disturbed by the material plane and forms energy life. It begins to observe and monitor the material plane and try to find a way to enter the plane. These energy life are called void monitors.

In addition, there are many secret realms, and there are many wonderful lives, such as the star god Bard, who travels between them and maintains the balance of the universe.

But it was also here that the Dragon King was lured to the Giant God Peak and put on the magic crown made by the Star Spirits presented by mortals, and the knowledge of making stars was stolen. It was very angry, but was thrown back to the heaven by the power of the crown. It could no longer approach the Rune Land. It could only watch the despicable and treacherous Star Spirits, who proclaimed themselves as "Giant Gods", enslaved mortals and built a huge sun disk.

The Star Spirits extracted the power of the Dragon King Thor in the heaven through the disc crown, injected it into the bodies of the selected mortals, and created immortal god warriors.

And these humans are called "Ascendants", and the Star Spirits seem to want to use these Ascendant armies to fight against unknown enemies.

Because Thor was controlled, the stars it shaped also dimmed. In the years that were only a blink of an eye for Thor but were actually very long, Thor had been waiting for the day of revenge.

Back to the north of Rune Continent, thousands of years before Thor came, Freljord had already given birth to many primitive demigods during this period, such as Ornn, the Hidden Flame of the Mountain, Volibear, the Undying Thunder, and Anivia, the Ice Crystal Phoenix.

Ornn was the earliest one, the eldest brother. He fought with the earth, smashed out mountains and valleys, and used the sea to cool the furnace, causing a century of heavy snow, turning Freljord into a world of ice and snow.

Volibear is the representative of chaotic war. Anyone can sacrifice their soul to it to gain power. Anivia represents order and hope, guiding the tribes of mortals.

In addition to them, there are countless demigods active in this era, and changes are constantly made every day.

And the weak human race also gave birth to three heroes. The three sisters of ice, the three sisters of Lissandra. (Not an ice archer)

They can fight against primitive gods and fight for a place for mortals to survive. Lissandra, who was blinded by a bear in the battle, accidentally got in touch with the Void Watcher when she walked in the dark. In order to gain power, she made a deal and guided the Void to come.

The Void gave the three sisters ice blood and powerful power, allowing them to establish Freljord. Some mortals who did not want to be enslaved by the Void and the three sisters sailed to Ionia and combined with the existing Vastaya to form a new Vastaya race.

Among them, there was also a mortal hero called Ion the Ruthless who combined with the Ionian sacred object Diliu to become the Green God.

In Freljord, when the Void came, Lissandra felt terrified and regretted it. She used all the power of the Yeti tribe and the True Ice to seal the entrance to the Void and freeze the Void Watcher, but the price was that except for Lissandra, all creatures within a thousand miles were frozen, including her two sisters. (Also sealed was a prehistoric yordle named Gnar)

In order to hide all this and rewrite history, Lissandra and the Frost Guard killed those who knew about it, and Freljord fell into chaos and division again.

The Void also became cautious, slowly corrupting Runeland and creating void monsters.

Vek'zi the Eye of the Void, Kha'Zix the Void Reaver, Kaz'mo the Mouth of the Abyss, Cho'Gath the Terror of the Void, etc., all came from this way.

They lay dormant underground, waiting for the day when they would break out of the ground and devour the world.

Thousands of years later, the era of primitive gods came to an end, and Shurima and the ancient human civilization rose.

The first Ascended created by the Protoss using the Dragon King was the founding emperor of Shurima, Queen Setaka. The weapon she used, the legendary cross blade Charikar, was the wheel of Sivir.

One mortal after another accepted the blessing and became an Ascended, conquering everywhere and expanding the territory. Shurima gradually became the most powerful country.

Later, the southern vassal state of Icathia rebelled, and nine Ascended went to suppress the rebellion. Before the country was destroyed, the mages of Icathia completed the final spell, and the void rift was opened.

Countless void monsters descended, and a fierce war broke out. Queen Setaka went to the battle in person. Except for the dog heads and crocodiles who stayed behind, almost all the ascenders joined the battle.

These included Ascended Generals such as Aatrox, Varus, and Rhaast.

However, the war was not smooth. The vitality of the void monsters was extremely tenacious. They knew no fatigue or fear, and only knew killing and destruction.

At the critical moment, the Ascended Hero Horok used the legendary weapon, the Blade of the Underworld, to enter the depths of the void nest and pierce the despicable heart of the void, and then re-seal the void after the war.

But Shurima also suffered heavy casualties, and the queen died in the battle. Fortunately, in the next few hundred years, Shurima recuperated and returned to its peak, almost ruling the entire Rune Continent. Time came to the era of Desert Emperor Azir.

He was originally the least favored little prince, but due to an assassination, all his brothers died, and only he survived with the life-saving rescue of his slave Xerath.

Azir is both civil and military. After ruling for a period of time, he decided to hold an ascension ceremony and fulfill his promise to Xerath afterwards, giving Xerath a surprise and liberating all the slaves in Shurima. However, Xerath thought he had long forgotten his promise and became a tyrant.

At the critical moment of the ceremony, Xerath pushed him out of the Sun Altar and stood on it himself. Without protection, Azir turned into ashes, and the astral energy stolen by the powerful wizard Xerath transformed him into an extremely powerful evil energy body. Later, he was locked in an enchanted sarcophagus by the dog-headed crocodile brothers who hurried over.

But at this time, Xerath was too strong and broke the sarcophagus, leaving only the chains. The dog-headed could only reluctantly seal the crocodile and Xerath together.

Then because of the theft, the ascension energy exploded, destroying the capital of Shurima, the yellow sand surged, the sun disc fell, burying Shurima inside, and the mythical era came to an end.

——————————

Part 2, Dark War Era

After Azir's death, the Shurima Empire was leaderless. The Ascended Generals who had fought against the Void were ready to move, but in fact they had already been contaminated by the Void.

They became stronger, more brutal, and more ambitious. They established themselves as kings, which opened the prelude to the Dark War Era and brought disaster to mortals.

The appearance of the Ascended was different from that of humans. They no longer regarded themselves as humans, but as gods. Humans called these fallen Ascended Darkborn.

Mortals were like livestock in the eyes of the Darkborn. Wherever they went, there was grief and sorrow, sweeping across the Rune Continent.

The scarlet vampire Vladimir was once a prince of the human kingdom, but his father surrendered and gave him to a Darkborn as a hostage. Vladimir's loyalty allowed him to learn some of the fur of flesh and blood magic and help the Darkborn manage humans.

The Protoss of the Titans could not ignore this, and a darkin named Tanayali had some conscience left. The Twilight Protoss Maisha took advantage of this to gain Tanayali's trust and convened other darkin for a party. At the party, Tanayali used the weapon of Setaka, the founding queen of Shurima, Charikar, to seal many darkin.

Using this trick, the mortals sealed the darkin one by one. Aatrox, Varus, and Laast were all sealed in their respective weapons, and the Darkin War came to an end.

But peace was only a flash in the pan. Without the darkin, humans continued to fight, and a new overlord emerged out of thin air. He was the Iron Wraith - Mordekaiser (Iron Man). Mordekaiser was originally just a mortal. His real name was Saan Uzul. He was the warlord king in the north of Valoran. During the Darkin War, he could not compete with the darkin, but now it is his time.

He is very powerful, but he has some problems with his thoughts. He was a staunch worshiper of darkness and believed in all the beauty of the dark kingdom.

So he conquered the east and the west, cleansed all the villages that blocked his way, and killed everyone.

When his life was about to end, he was filled with joy, because he believed that these deeds in his life had made him qualified to be on the same level as the gods in the Skeleton Hall.

But unlike what he thought, what awaited him after his death was not the Skeleton Hall, but a gray wasteland, with messy whispers lingering in his ears and dead souls floating in it.

Mordekaiser was furious, questioned his dark beliefs, and had to accept reality.

But his soul refused to dissipate, and survived by will, and understood the meaning of the whispers here (Ochen language), the sinful language that did not belong to living things, and built a bridge between life and death.

He infiltrated the whispers into various curtains, tempted the living, and bewitched a group of wizards. He used a black iron armor similar to his life as a carrier, and resurrected Mordekaiser with necromancy on a moonless night.

The resurrected Mordekaiser was even more invincible. He killed the wizards and used their souls to create the hammer Nightfall, which could command the dead.

He returned with a vengeance, and the cruel war almost wiped out an entire generation of people on the continent. He longed to master all knowledge of the soul and death, and built a megalithic fortress in the center of his empire to protect the skeleton, which was called the Immortal Fortress by the world.

The purpose was to study necromancy. A Yodel magician named Veigar who came to Runeland from Bandle City to learn magic was captured by Mordekaiser and imprisoned in the Immortal Fortress, where he was constantly tortured and forced to serve him.

However, among Mordekaiser's men, there was a magician named Leblanc (Enchantress) who was unwilling to be enslaved by Mordekaiser anymore and found Vladimir. At this time, Vladimir was no longer a mortal. In the late Darkin War, he killed the Darkin master and stole the power of flesh and blood magic.

The two hit it off and formed a secret organization-the Black Rose.

As the organization grew stronger and the time was ripe, Leblanc contacted the Barbarian Tribe outside the Immortal Fortress, and the chieftain sneaked in to cut off the connection between Mordekaiser and the armor.

Mordekaiser was expelled. Then the Barbarian Tribe established a new empire, Noxus, with the Immortal Fortress as the center.

However, in fact, Mordekaiser did this on purpose, just to return to the underworld. All the people he killed actually became his undead army, waiting for his arrival in the underworld.

He did not see the Skeleton Hall, and he wanted to build his own Skeleton Throne, become the king of the underworld, and accumulate power in the underworld!

And his story was temporarily interrupted. The Black Rose became the real controller of Noxus, and secretly guided the throne of Noxus for more than a thousand years.

After that, the countries had small-scale conflicts and barely peace until the world rune was discovered.

The World Rune is the origin of all life in Runeland. The first to discover it was an ancient society on the Blessed Island of this era. This group has been committed to studying and protecting the most dangerous holy objects in Runeland.

They accidentally discovered the origin of magic, the World Rune.

They decided to hide, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and it was still spread out.

When people learned about the amazing energy contained in the World Rune, the first thing they thought of was how to master it and turn it into a weapon.

In the ancient society, there was a young wizard named Ryze (wandering wizard).

He and his master Tyrus collected and kept the World Runes together, and persuaded the forces that possessed the World Runes to hand them over, but human nature is selfish, and few people are willing to hand them over.

In Ryze's hometown, once known as Noxhi, Ryze's master and apprentice failed to persuade the two countries. The leaders of the two countries were unwilling to make peace, and they used the world rune to launch a devastating attack on each other. The first time Ryze saw the power of the rune was when his hometown was destroyed, the earth collapsed, the sea rushed, and a piece of land sank into the sea.

This was the first loud noise of the world rune and the prelude to the rune war.

Runes became a must-have weapon. The army strengthened its own weapons with magic and killed each other with magic items without considering the consequences.

In order to end the war, Ryze and his apprentice traveled around the world and tried to collect them. However, in the process, Ryze's master Tyrese, because of long-term contact with the world rune, was tempted, and his mind changed. He began to hate humans and wanted to fight violence with violence.

As a last resort, Ryze killed his master, carried his master's scroll, and embarked on a journey to save the world alone.

The rune war lasted for hundreds of years and intensified. Great civilizations disappeared in history one by one, bringing disastrous consequences, environmental collapse, and countless disasters.

Wild magic also breeds many monsters. In the Kumanggu jungle in the east of Shurima, ferocious carnivorous plants were born, devouring all creatures, and this place called the Garden of Jerlu gradually became self-aware and became Jerlu, the Rise of Thorns.

Only then did humans realize that this could not go on, and the Rune War gradually came to an end.

During the war, a group of refugees who were deeply devastated by magic fled to the west coast of Valoran and found a forbidden magic stone forest. The stones here are very special and have the magical power to absorb magic, which brings a sense of security to the refugees.

They settled here and built walls with forbidden magic stones. In the distant Targon Peak, a father, in order to avoid the war, also brought his two daughters, Kayle and Morgana, to settle here.

Suddenly one day, a long sword with celestial flames fell from the sky and inserted into the ground between the two sisters, splitting into two.

This is their mother, Misira, the weapon of the legendary righteous star spirit. The two sisters each pulled out half and received the blessing of the star spirit.

After that, they used their own strength to help everyone build their homes and resist foreign enemies, and the emerging country of Demacia was gradually born.

The two sisters were called the Winged Guardians of Demacia. However, slowly, their minds changed. Kayle became more and more ruthless and resolutely implemented the law and justice. Morgana was humane and sympathized with humans who wanted to atone for their sins.

In the battle against the Sword Demon, they used forbidden techniques, which exacerbated this.

The contradictions accumulated more and more, and finally a battle broke out. In the battle, the father was affected and accidentally killed. The two sisters broke off their friendship. Kayle picked up the two swords of herself and her sister, and flew to the Targon without looking back. Morgana locked her wings and walked on the ground with her feet.

At the same time, on the other side of Runeland, the Blessed Isles also underwent earth-shaking changes.

Just because of an unforgettable love.

On the Valoran continent, there is a human country. The queen was assassinated and poisoned. King Viego (the Ruined King) was heartbroken and sent his general, his niece Kalista (the Spear of Vengeance), out to find an antidote.

Many years later, Kalista found the Blessed Isles and the antidote, the Water of Life, but it was too late. The queen had already died. The king became crazy and imprisoned her for deceiving the king.

And Kalista's former subordinate, the Centaur Hecarim, became greedy for the Blessed Isles and the Fountain of Life, and deceived Kalista to go to the Blessed Isles.

The crazy Viego determined that the queen could not be resurrected, and ordered the massacre of the residents of the Blessed Isles. Kalista, who wanted to stop it, was also killed by Hecarim's sneak attack. Under the leadership of the caretaker Thresh, whose mind was distorted by the treasure, Viego placed the queen's rotten body in the Fountain of Life on the Blessed Isles.

Queen Isolde stood up, but turned into a vengeful spirit. She picked up Viego's long sword and pierced Viego's heart.

The magic of the holy water collided with the ancient sword, the energy of the closed room exploded, the holy relics collected by the Blessed Isles brought a huge disaster, and the black fog swept the entire island, trapping everything it touched in a state of awake and painful undeath.

In this way, the Blessed Isles were destroyed.

The Shadow Isles were born.

Part 3, Modern History

The following events occurred almost simultaneously, explained one by one from north to south.

The northernmost end, Freljord.

After Lissandra was frozen for thousands of miles, the primitive tribes were in turmoil for thousands of years, and Lissandra and her frost guards occupied the dominant position in secret.

But under the arrangement of fate, two other tribes rose. One is the ice archer Ashe, who is believed to be the reincarnation of Lissandra's sister Avarosa, and the other is Sejuani, the Fury of the North, who inherited the will of Lissandra's sister Celerda.

Ashe's mother once led her people on a road of no return in search of Avarosa's tomb, and eventually died at the hands of the Frost Guard under Lissandra, and the Avarosa tribe was destroyed.

At the critical moment, Ashe obtained Avarosa's True Ice inheritance, revenged with an arrow, and then alone, with the heart of caring for the tribe, rebuilt the tribe and became stronger day by day.

Sejuani was born in the Winter Claw tribe. She suffered from hardships since childhood and believed in the law of the jungle. After she came of age, she led the Winter Claw tribe to break away from the control of the Frost Guard, rise in the north of Freljord, and destroy the enemy with war.

So Freljord was divided into three kingdoms, Avarosa of Ashe, Winter Claw of Sejuani, and Frost Guard of Lissandra.

Ashe and Sejuani ruled many tribes in Freljord, working hard for unification, but Lissandra had no time to take care of them.

Because the void rift that was sealed under the Howling Abyss by Lissandra thousands of years ago is crumbling under the scour of time, and the nine True Ice Pillars are melting one by one.

In order to strengthen the power of True Ice, they can only rely on the Yeti tribe, and at this time there is only one Yeti left in the world, that is Nunu's friend, Yeti Willump.

...

On the other side, in the west of Valoran, Demacia, the Lightshield family rules here.

Jarvan Lightshield III, diligent and loving the people, under his rule, Demacia won the war with Noxus, reversed the situation, and recovered Zhao Xin. The heir Jarvan IV also grew up well under his training.

Under the appearance, there are undercurrents.

The class confrontation between the nobles and the common people is getting more and more serious, and the law prohibiting magic has deepened this inequality. After the powerful mage Sylas escaped from prison, he united with the oppressed mages to form a resistance organization and vowed to overthrow the tyranny.

Demacia is in urgent need of a change, but whether it will be a revolution or a change is still unknown, and it is unknown what role Kael Morgana will play.

In addition, there is a big hidden danger in Demacia. The world runes collected by Ryze from all over the world are now hidden in the treasure house of the Forbidden Stone Forest in Demacia.

From the story of Sylas, we know that the Forbidden Stone will not destroy magic, but only store it.

…

East of Demacia, across mountains and rivers, we came to Noxus.

The former emperor was called Darkwill, but in fact, it was the Black Rose who ruled this country for thousands of years, and the emperor was just a puppet.

Under the temptation of Leblanc, in order to find the holy relic of immortality, Darkwill launched wars on multiple fronts, from Freljord in the north, Demacia in the west, Shurima in the south, and even crossed the sea to invade Ionia in the east.

During the war, there was a general named Swain (the crow), who won a high reputation in the army with his extraordinary strategy. In order to get rid of him, his army was almost completely withdrawn in the Battle of Placidium in Ionia, and he was eventually fatally injured in isolation.

One of his kneecaps was completely shattered, leaving him disabled, and his left arm was cut off by Irelia's flying knife. However, on the battlefield, Swain was inspired by a mysterious power. After returning to Noxus, he was dismissed because of the defeat.

But secretly, he obtained the powerful dark power hidden in the Immortal Bastion and became the incarnation of some ancient power (demon? Mordekaiser? It seems that it is not certain.)

After several years of careful planning, Swain launched a coup and seized the throne of Noxus, but did not serve as emperor. Instead, he abolished the monarchy and established a three-person council called Trifarion to ensure that he would not monopolize power.

The three of them represent the three spirits of Noxus, namely the eye (farsightedness), pillar (force), and two blades (cunning) on ​​the national emblem.

Swain, Darius, Leblanc.

They stopped fighting with the outside world, rested and recuperated, and selected elite troops to form the Trifari Legion.

They accepted everyone, even the former enemy Black Rose.

Noxus entered a new era.

…

Noxus went east, crossed the ocean, and came to Ionia. For thousands of years, because of isolation from the world, Ionia has preserved its original natural landscape and lifestyle, advocating nature, pursuing harmony, and living in harmony with the world.

The invasion of Noxus broke the harmony.

Many heroes were born in the resistance.

For example, in the Battle of Precision, the 14-year-old Irelia defeated Swain and was regarded as a leader; in Wuji Village, the swordsman Yi Wuji swordsmanship fought against an army alone; in the Order of the Balance, Zed and Akali successively betrayed their master to resist the invaders.

In the Wind Sword Sect, Yasuo was wronged because of the death of his elder (quite interesting), and was forced to wander around the world until the truth came out.

Well, it was not unfair for Noxus to lose.

But the impact of this invasion was huge, changing the lives of many heroes and making Ionia begin to examine its position in the world.

Some people formed a resistance army, and some joined the Navoli Brotherhood, taking the path of revenge with violence. And Noxus has never given up its delusion about Ionia, and a new war will come back soon.

…

Continue to the south and come to the strait between Valoran and Shurima.

Here are two emerging city-states, Piltover and Zaun.

Originally, Valoran and Shurima were connected, and the two city-states were integrated.

Because of the desire to conquer nature, two hundred years ago, the residents here tried to use alchemical explosives to blast a canal to connect the oceans on both sides of the continent.

However, on the day the canal was completed, with a loud bang, the explosion of alchemical explosives caused a chain reaction of earthquakes, the whole city was torn apart, half of it rose, half of it sank, and an entire city sank into the ocean, and nearly half of the residents died in the disaster. Thanks to Janna, the wind girl, the alchemical gas was blown away, the tsunami was blocked with a wind wall, and the remaining residents were saved.

Piltover is located on a cliff overlooking the sea.

With the convenience brought by the Grand Canal, it has become the trade center of Runeland. Fleets from all over the world, loaded with goods from all over the world, gather here and develop and prosper.

And Zaun has become a mirror, and some banned goods have flowed into the black market.

There are also undercurrents between the two city-states.

Piltover is controlled by many large families, who control almost all social resources. The class gap is getting bigger and bigger, and each family is fighting for emerging technologies.

At the same time, the advancement of science and technology has also attracted countless scientists. However, some crazy research is not tolerated by Piltover. These people found a place to stay in Zaun and conducted dangerous and terrible experiments, which led to an extremely harsh environment in Zaun. Not only did they appear, but there were mutants or creatures such as Twitch, the source of the plague, Mundo, the Zaun madman, and Zac, the biochemical demon, as well as scientifically transformed monsters such as Warwick, the Zaun mad beast.

…

Sailing eastward from the port of Piltover, you will soon arrive at the port of Bilgewater in the Blue Flame Islands, which is a paradise and refuge for pirates, smugglers and lawless people.

There are four terrifying legends here, the deep-sea titan Nautilus, the eccentric little fishman Fizz, the ghost Pike hidden in the blood port, and the river king Tam who satisfies your endless desires.

If you are not careful, you will lose your life.

In this place full of dangers and opportunities, you are not bound by any government, laws and morals. As long as you have enough money and a big fist, you can enjoy what you want.

In the past decade, a brutal pirate named Gangplank has been in charge of this place. He has set strict rules and made the lawbreakers have a set of rules and regulations.

However, when he was young, he brutally killed a family. The little girl Sarah in the family survived by luck. Later, she changed her name to Miss Fortune. Under her careful planning, she blew up Gangplank's pirate ship. Gangplank lost an arm and was seriously injured. Bilgewater fell into chaos overnight.

Southeast of the Blue Flame Islands, Shadow Island.

The day when the black fog spreads once a year is called the Soul-Eating Night. The black fog rises and falls like the tide, and Bilgewater is the first to bear the brunt.

After Gangplank's fall, the enemies of various gangs fought for territory and wealth. At this time, the black fog swept in, and Miss Fortune led her men to fight desperately. Olaf and Lucian, who happened to be here, also provided help.

Finally, with the help of the sea beast priest Illaoi, Bilgewater survived the Soul-Eating Night, but the black fog of the Shadow Isles has been expanding, and the undead are expanding their invasion range, harvesting life and hope throughout the Runeland.

…

In the south of Runeland, the Shurima continent.

The Shurima Empire has been wiped out in the dust of history, and only the team is constantly exploring.

A mercenary named Sivir (Wheel Mother) accepted the commission of the Noxian noble Cassiopeia (Snake Girl) to explore the Tomb of the Emperor of Shurima. However, in fact, Cassiopeia's goal was the cross blade in Sivir's hand, Charikar, the Queen's weapon.

This is the key to open the Tomb of the Emperor. At the critical moment, Cassiopeia sneaked and killed Sivir and opened the door with Charikar.

Renekton and Xerath, who had been sealed for thousands of years, escaped, while Cassiopeia triggered the curse and turned into a half-human, half-snake monster.

Renekton, who had been sealed for thousands of years, turned into a beast full of hatred and madness. He believed that his brother Doghead had betrayed him. And Xerath's power has been growing over the past thousands of years. He saw a world waiting to be conquered and harvested. He will become the god of the new world.

On the other side, the killed Sivir had the blood of the Shurima royal family flowing in his body. Her blood brought back the last emperor Azir, who had only a trace of residual soul left.

Azir once again gained the power of ascension. The immortal light of the sun poured into his body, giving him the ability to control the yellow sand. He raised his hands, and his ruined city shook off the dust covering thousands of years, rose above the ground again, and the sun disk was suspended again.

Shurima, your emperor is back!

However, not everyone is eager for the return of the ancient emperor. Taliyah bid farewell to her master Yasuo and returned to Shurima, leading her people to resist the restoration of the feudal dynasty.

...

The southernmost tip of the Shurima continent is Icathia. After the Void War thousands of years ago, it has become a dead land. A prophet born with the ability to predict the future, Malzahar, came here at the call of the Void. He received the response of the Void in the ruins, which gave him new power and goals. He will lead his people to welcome the sacred void.

He established a cult and asked believers to sacrifice to the Void. For the rebels, he would use the power given to him by the Void to tear the earth apart, summon nightmare monsters, and devour them.

There was a village that was swallowed up. A girl named Kassa survived miraculously and gained part of the power of the Void. She survived tenaciously in the Void Nest for ten years.

Kassa, who is half human and half monster, hunted countless Void monsters, but most of the humans she protected regarded her as a monster, but she did not give up.

She would never allow the void to devour the entire Runeland.

On the other hand, after learning that his hometown was devoured, Kassadin, Kassadin's father, vowed revenge and wanted to destroy the Void Prophet and his source of dark power. He collected many arcane artifacts and forbidden techniques to deal with the dangers ahead.

He even found the weapon of the Ascended Horok, the Blade of the Underworld.

Then he put on a robe, dressed as a pilgrim, said goodbye to his former friends, and entered Icathia alone, facing the forbidden land of humans alone, confident that he would take revenge.

…

The westernmost end of Shurima, Mount Targon.

There was a problem within the Protoss.

The Bright Moon Cult, which was suppressed by the Fiery Solari Cult, has recently shown signs of recovery, and the mortal incarnation of the Bright Moon Protoss has also reappeared in the world.

The civil strife made their control over the Dragon King weaker and weaker, and the Dragon King could feel that the long-lost freedom was getting closer and closer to him.

By then, all the races among the billions of stars will witness its wrath, and everyone will understand what a terrible price they have to pay to steal the power of the Star Dragon - "I have waited for a thousand years, just to witness the fall of the giant god!"
