Rakshadoth, the Light Bringer

Lore: Deep in the heart of the Shurima desert lay an ancient ruin untouched by man. The mystery of this untouched temple gave birth to tales of demons and ghosts that would possess anyone who dares to approach its ghastly walls. Some said this was the legendary city of Icathia while others claimed it nothing but a simple temple, forgotten years ago. To put these rumours to rest, a group of Zaunite archaeologists banded together and set out for the ancient Shurima ruins.

After several weeks, nothing was heard from the archeologists. Their scheduled return home never arrived. Weeks turned into months and months turned into years. By this time, everyone had moved on and the stories of the temple became even more real. However, no one could have expected what happened next. Two years after the disappearance, a single member of the team who perished reappeared. Yet, he did not return home. He instead stumbled to the League of Legends. Upon his arrival, several summoners took him in, questioning him as much as they could.

He told the summoners how his team examined the ruins for a few days. They found hundreds of hieroglyphs on the walls and floors of the temple. Each hieroglyph depicted a different event. However, most of them had the same godly being looking down from the skies. This being, illustrated as a being of pure light, was nicknamed the Light Bringer by the team. As their expedition brought them closer to the heart of the temple, the Light Bringer was shown to be more violent in the drawings: tearing people apart, creating vicious earthquakes and even eating those who worshiped it. Soon, the team entered some sort of altar room. It was a circular room with a large altar in the centre. The team noticed that the drawings on the walls around them showed people being sacrificed to this Light Bringer. They started searching for clues in the sacrifice room but this was soon interrupted when one of the members turned on them. He took an ancient dagger, pushed another team member onto the altar and impaled them what seemed like hundreds of times. Soon, the room became bright — brighter than the sun. They all felt immense heat bear down on their skin, searing their flesh. The surviving member quickly fled the temple, leaving the bloodcurdling cries of his comrades behind him. 

The summoners stood by the man, speechless by his story. It was clear that whatever happened in the temple forever twisted this man’s mind. However, he kept repeating a single phrase. “We’ve brought the Light back. Meet its awesome power!”
