Lose yourself in the song of River Spirit Nami

Riot··10 votes·23,202 views

The young farmer had walked this way home countless times before. Beside the jungle, the path stretched from crop to home, but lately he’d found himself a companion on his long trek: a song, drifting through the woods with the cool fall breeze. He’d always ignored his curiosity before – pulled his hood up and marched on home – but this time… it was different. It was calling to him. The boy paused, peering into the mighty woods beside him. Without thinking, he dove into the trees.

The song filled him, pulling him through the brush. Thorns and nettles clawed at him, tearing through his clothes and ripping his flesh as he sped through the woods. Louder still, the melancholy voice sung.

Finally, he burst through the undergrowth and fell into an open grove. The boy, gasping for breath, stumbled to his feet and looked around. Evening sunlight danced through the canopy, and in the grove’s center lay a crystal- clear pond filled with water lilies. River Spirit Nami sat at its heart, her emerald mane of hair framing a wide smile on her pale face. Humming, she beckons him forward, healing his wounds with faerie-touched water. Step by step, he wades into the pool, the water coming to his chest as he lurches deeper into the pool. Tears stream down his face. River Spirit Nami pulls him towards her, wrapping him in an embrace. Slowly, she slips beneath the surface, dragging him into oblivion.

Soothe your allies and enthrall your foes with River Spirit Nami, available now in the League of Legends store for 975 RP.

The Nightmare skin was free(at least I got it free), so it's not really a big deal if it's not super unique. It's like the Riot Girl Tristana.

They probably based her on sirens from mythology

Shoeplex18 votes

I totally agree. They definitely wanted to make her seem like a siren. Although they do have Siren Cassiopeia, so if they wanted to go that route, why didn't they just call her Siren Nami? Except, now that I'm typing that, it sounds stupid to call her that. Nevermind, Riot is smarter than me.

To be technical, she was based off an Iara from Brazilian mythology which correlates to a Siren from Greek mythology. So calling her Siren Nami wouldnt be right and you're right when you say that its sounds stupid calling her that.

Losing him is not an option.

Arddun83 votes

So she healed his wounds only to kill him? I don't think so. In actuality, River Spirit Nami is the embodiment of the Iara, which is a mythical figure in Brazilian folklore. Said to be connected to bodies of fresh water, they would ensnare nearby men with their beautiful singing, who then would live with them underwater forever. Which is not entirely a bad thing, because Iara are said to be very kind and compassionate to their "captives", taking care of them until they pass away. The only people really hurt by them are the families left behind.

Elemon14 votes

Possibly, but she might have just been continuing to entice him in... It's not like it would've made much of a difference whether his wounds were healed or not... And also note that the pool probably heals any wounds people might attempt to inflict upon HER...

Skiren11 votes

While that sounds possible, they did specifically say he was drug into oblivion...that doesn't sound like a happy ending. Even if him living happily is the way the River Spirits in certain folklore would work doesn't mean that's what Riot intended it to be.

Maybe she baited and out-smarted him.

Finally, he burst through the undergrowth and fell into an open grove, there he saw the face of the voice, the ghastly yet awe inspiring performance of penta-kill, the song that was soothing was but a mere ploy to draw in an audience for the this once in a lifetime performance. After the set including songs like light bringer, and deathfire grasp, the boy and the rest of the audience roared, heads jerking, fists pumping, it was not enough, encore. With the call for one more rising, the band responded with its true finale, the final song of the night and for the audience, well, its once in a lifetime for a reason, for those who listen to the final song will die, after experiance the power, and non shall survive the metal of Requim.-press r-

*and then sex happened

The Rat King9 votes

no and he was killed

Arddun29 votes

Actually, sex is more likely, believe it or not. The Iara, what Nami is based on, don't kill their captives. They're quite kind to them.

(Got that info from the skin's trivia page, and good old Wikipedia.

If this is a "River" spirit. Why did the story mention a Pond. Lake Siren Nami is more fitting with this story. You should change the body of water. I like the different bodies of water nami resides in idea though

EVIL Nami! I love when a skin is a a different take on a champ's personality.

Lucivus13 votes

Actually, she's not evil. ^^ She's not based off of a Siren, which lures its prey in by song and then eats them, but is instead based off of a Lara which sings and dances to attract a soul mate, and takes them under the water to live together, forever... And they're very kind and passionate. It's just the word Riot used, "oblivion", that really turned the way the Lore was going lol.

But you're right, she still has a different personality.

Hate to be that guy, but it's "Iara", not "Lara".
