New Champion: Shroud

Shroud - The Rage of the Fallen

Lore Years ago, two fearsome adolescents, one with shocking pink locks and the

other with a mop of ebony hair tore through the streets of Piltover,

looting anything that wasn't nailed down properly. The siblings gained so

much notoriety that the local guild of thieves sought out and recruited

them, which they immediately accepted. As heist after heist was completed

successfully, the demands became more and more dangerous, eventually

leading them to the Kinkou Temple of Ionia.

It was simple, really - Grab an old scroll from the temple library. The

two almost made it back out the temple, but suddenly, shadows began to

swirl around the pink-headed child as gleaming blades tore through her

flesh. In a blind panic, she attempted to flee, but the maelstrom of

steel struck her down, and she hit her head on a pillar, instantly

knocking her unconscious. The whirling darkness suddenly stopped, and a

menacing figure glared at the boy from the dust before tearing into him

as he had the other child. As he began to lose consciousness from the

searing pain, a sudden flash of purple light blinded him, eventually

giving way to utter darkness.

The boy awoke with a start in front of a temple shrouded in shadow. He

searched his mind in an attempt to find out how he came here, but there

was nothing. No past. No dreams. Nothing.

In a daze the boy stood and left the strange place, guided by the

whispers of the shadows. After weeks of wandering he came upon a

glistening city of neon lights and marvelous constructs - an unfamiliar

world that he strangely could navigate with ease.

He wandered through the streets aimlessly, until several men came to him

and began demanding a scroll. In annoyance, he swung at the closest one,

and as the punch connected with the thug's meaty head, odd runes appeared

out of the air and branded themselves in his skin. His screams of pain

amused the boy, so he punched again. And again. And suddenly there were no more thugs... only a pile of charred, twisted

and mangled bodies at his feet.

Intrigued by this magnificent power, the boy set out to fight any and all

opponents, be it through contract or by a passing whim. Eventually his

exploits led him to the Fields of Justice, where his might is at its peak

and every victory brings him a little closer to his forgotten past.
