TScreaming into existence with the birth of the universe, the Void is a
manifestation of the unknowable nothingness that lies beyond. It is a
force of insatiable hunger, waiting through the eons until its masters,
the mysterious Watchers, mark the final time of undoing. To be a mortal
touched by this power is to suffer an agonizing glimpse of eternal
unreality, enough to shatter even the strongest mind. Denizens of the
Void realm itself are construct-creatures, often of only limited
sentience, but tasked with a singular purpose—to usher in total oblivion
across Runeterra.
CHAMPIONS OF IONIA
Surrounded by treacherous seas, Ionia is composed of a number of allied
provinces scattered across a massive archipelago, known to many as the
First Lands. Since Ionian culture has long been shaped by the pursuit of
balance in all things, the border between the material and spirit realms
tends to be more permeable here, especially in the wild forests and
mountains. Although these lands’ enchantments can be fickle, its creatures
dangerous and fae, for many centuries most Ionians led lives of plenty.
The warrior monasteries, provincial militias—and even Ionia itself—had
been enough to protect them. But that ended twelve years ago, when Noxus
attacked the First Lands. The empire’s seemingly endless warhosts savaged
Ionia, and were only defeated after many years, and at great cost. Now,
Ionia exists in an uneasy peace. Different reactions to the war have
divided the region—some groups, such as the Shojin monks or the Kinkou,
seek a return to isolationist pacifism, and pastoral traditions. Other
more radical factions, such as the Navori Brotherhood and the Order of
Shadow, demand a militarization of the land’s magic, to create a single,
unified nation that can take vengeance on Noxus. The fate of Ionia hangs
in a delicate balance that few are willing to overturn, but all can feel
shifting uneasily beneath their feet.
