Guard the forest soul with Elderwood Hecarim

Riot·Nov 24, 2015·1 votes·58,797 views

You’re walking into the forest, deeper than ever before. Sunlight breaks through the thick canopy, dotting the woodland floor in soft white patches. Here, petals from strange, unknown blossoms paint the path ahead brilliantly. You wade farther through the tangle of thick vines into a sylvan oasis. Sunlight fades and the oaks growl a low caution. A beast rises from a clearing ahead; its primeval form creaks under the weight of ancient slumber. It wakes to protect this realm.

Guard the soul of the forest with Elderwood Hecarim, now available in the League store for 975 RP until November 30 23:59 PST (1350 RP after that).

Why is he fighting Elderwood Bard though? Wouldn't they be friends?

Thank you for explaining the joke. I know for certain that there are at least three Vayne mains who were too stupid to get it (I supported all three of them).

You know it's fake when they use the apostrophe s contraction correctly.

Mister SunglowNov 25, 201512 votes

I think that he kinda looks like he's representin' the red buff side of the jungle since he's the same color scheme. Bard's skin looks more like the blue buff side to me... maybe they're arguin over turf

Elderwood Hecarim is a tree. He's fighting Elderwood bard Bard , which is a tree. He's also fighting maokai Maokai , which is also a tree. Oh and he's fighting Red, which is a tree with his saprolings. Rito, we see what you did there...

Nobody is actually friends with Bard. He's like the guy you keep around because he's so easy to pick on.

ChakraTeezNov 25, 201544 votes

I honestly feel that this skin is beautiful, not very often that we get to see skins with such a deep felt aura around them like that, this skin actually made me feel like it was taken out of something really mythical, something that we could actually see in cultures around the world, I give props to the dev. team on this one, GJ riot, I appreciate this skin, can't wait to own it myself.

Ezreal Remind me why we're in the woods again?

Caitlyn Because I heard people talking about a giant deer man roaming around the woods and I plan to catch him.

Ezreal Oh ok. So why do you need me?

Caitlyn I need a tracker (and good bait just in case). Now shush I'm going to lay a trap in front of that bush we're going to hide in.

5 minutes later in the bush

Ezreal This is boring how much longer.

Caitlyn Until we hear a snap there it is. (popping out of the bush) Ah hay got you.

Twitch Aaaah my leg. Was this for recording you and vi without your knowing.

Caitlyn Twitch why are you here, and what was that last part?

Twitch Nothing! Anyway I saw the cupcake and though hey free food but now... I HAVE BEAR TRAP IN MY LEG!

Ezreal Hi, Twitch.

Twitch Hi, Ez. So why are you placing bear traps over this forest.

Caitlyn We're hunting a deer man around here have you seen him?

Twitch Oh yeah he's over there.

Hecarim HA HA HA you can't catch me I'm the elderwodd man! (runs away)

Caitlyn Dang it Ez quick he's getting away TALLY HO!

Ezreal SCREAMING WORDS AS WELL!

Twitch Wait the bear trap, and slug lickers now who's going to help me.

Maokai I can help?

Twitch Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Hey um since you wrote this story you obviously know about all the things that happened. So was wondering if you could tell the story of Vi and caitlyn as well.I noticed you mentioned something about that so i would like to know for research purposes :)

Blood ReaperNov 26, 20153 votes

Well you see Twitch needs money to pay for his room that he shares with Nautilus Olaf Veigar and Leona so it just happened that one night Vi left the door to her room open with Caitlyn over. Made a video and sold it to men in the league and some women he doesn't judge.

Elderwood anivia and zac here we come... zac isnt getting another skin for 2 years is he but at least his previous skin was cool he got some duckies and a recolor... they really hate zac dont they.

Shabada64Nov 25, 20159 votes

Zac skins aren't really easy... he is one color.
How do you even make an Elderwood Zac?! Anivia I can understand because she's already a spirit, but Zac? How?

DïeWithDüstinNov 25, 20156 votes

They could make me a swampy patchy green/forest green lol, maybe with sticks an twigs coming outta him.

Stewe119Nov 25, 20154 votes

the model is really nice but i feel like the animations / colors can be a little more exciting.

AkineroNov 25, 20154 votes

He's a 975 skin. I feel like those animations are actually pretty good for a skin at that price.

King DellronNov 25, 201511 votes

It's a 1350 skin. Discounted to 975 for the first week.

NechronyxNov 25, 20154 votes

What if this was Hecarim Hecarim before he turned into a ghost... I mean look at Maokai Maokai ... He is the last tree of a forest what if this forest he is guarding is the old Twisted Treeline...

WeAreWalrusNov 26, 20154 votes

Hecarim was just a dude who rode a horse. Read his updated lore, it'll tell you all about what he was before he turned into the centaur ghost man he is now!
