[Champion Concept] Xog'Rath - The Corruptor
**Lore: ** Deep in the heart of the Shurima desert an ancient civilization known as Icathia once thrived, worshipping and connecting to the realm known as the void. The mysterious collapse of Icathia remains unknown to history, only that the remnants of the once great kingdom remain scattered below the Great Barrier. It is here, that during a time of war between the Ancient Mage Lords and the Protectorate Army, where the Mage Lords plotted the destruction of the Protectorate. One such lord was a gifted seer named Xog, who began to see dark visions of the Mage Lord’s defeat by the hand of mythical creature, by a Darkin known as Aatrox. Xog spoke to his leaders about his vision, but because of their string of recent victories, and their army out numbering the protectorate, he was cast aside and labeled unfit for duty.
Xog knew he was not crazy; his gift had led to many of the victories the leaders spoke of so often. Not wanting to be led to slaughter Xog abandoned the Mage Lord’s, intent to save himself within the shelter of the ruins of Shurima. But as he set forth on his journey, whispers began to echo in his mind. They lead him to an Icathian obelisk that beckoned his touch, and taking him to the void. There a dark god spoke to Xog, and spoke of plans that dwarfed those of the Mage Lord’s. Xog agreed to become the vessel for the god’s plans and so they merged together, becoming Xog’Rath. The dark god’s Knowledge, power, and a command of the void along with Xog’s own qualities allowed Xog’rath to reach out into the world undetected to manipulate the events of Runeterra.
During such an event, the second rune war, a massive disturbance in time and space was detected. A wizard named Zilean had become strong enough to undue Xog’rath’s plans of corrupting all of Runeterra. He had to be stopped. Xog’rath reached out through the void to find disciples, mages with the gift Xog once possessed, corrupting a young summoner tasked with decimating Zilean’s city of Urtistan, and calling upon a mage, Malzahar, to prepare his arrival in Runeterra.
Zilean somehow survived the attack, but had been corrupted by time, going to the League of Legends to get assistance with a cure. Knowing this, Xog’rath sent several of the void’s best warriors to defeat Zilean in the league of legends, but their lack of success has forced his hand early. Now, Xog’rath has arrived, soul bent on eliminating his sole threat, and any other of Runeterra’s best who stand in his way. Once he is successful in the league he shall bring forth the void to consume the world, and all who stand against him!
