[Champion Concept] Gander- Gaiya's Last Hope

Short Lore Entry: Many have believed the great war of Runterra to be one of mere faction battle, yet none know that the real war was happening up above them. One of the mighty Gods, Gaiya founder of nature energy and rival of Nagakaborous was banished from the Collosium for act of treason amongst [insert lead god here]. He claimed that he had been framed but they would not reason so scattered himself across earth knowing what little power man had over Earth after they'd created them and hope to one day he'd surface again with the blessings of humanity and use Earth approval of him to prove his innocence to the other Gods and seek out his foe.

Over a millennium has passed and with Gayia's existence is nothing but a myth, a folklore for old geezer's to spook the village offspring. Though one day, a young blacksmith of Zaun with a company of seven, ventured into the caves of the Ironspike Mountains southeast of Zaun, to mine ore industrial uses. What they found was a green gemstone, glowing and fluctuating as if it were living energy. Leader of the expedition Ayon Ore inspected it meticulously and as he pulled it out from it's burial, the caves began to quake, rupturing and falling taking the lives of four of these miners.

The amongst the survivors were Ayon, he could not fathom what had happen at the mining site. The location was new to them but Ayon being a miner, blacksmith and climber of great feat for over a decade has never before experience something so bizarre. Their is something peculiar about that gemstone and he was determine to find out what, it's possibilities could be endless. The thought of the stone left him sleepless that night, and had strange dreams and words called out to him as if the gem was daunting him.

He left the stone home within one of his boots, for the other survivors did not he was able to retain the stone and he was not certain of it's rarity or when he'd ever get one again. He talked to his remaining crew about heading back out to mine the stone but they declined saying it was too dangerous. They weren't miner in their small village at the time, and no people brave enough to venture into the mountainside. He'd have to wait about a week for returning crew men that had set out on other expeditions, but he couldn't the stone called out to him over and over again intensifying with every chant possessing his mind.

He returned home and without a greeting to his wife and child he moved swiftly to his bedroom to look at the stone. Yet he could not find it. "Where is it!?!" he screamed, "Did you take it?" looking sulkily at his wife. She is great fear nodded and replied, "No". She then said, "Maybe it's Gander" he was playing in your room a moment ago. He moved quickly to Gander, "Gander, son, what did you do with daddy's emerald?" as if his six month old infant could reply to him, he grieved and upturn is whole home in search for that forsaken gem.

The next day after eating breakfast he kissed his wife and son goodbye as he always do before every expedition and set out in search of the stone by his lone self. This worried his wife Nayeide as she's never seen him so eager and impatient in search of anything thing. Later that day she noticed a change in her son's eyes, from light blue to dark emerald green almost instantaneously. This bothered her for a bit as she's never known a child's eye color to change on a whim, but gradually. Nayeide continued nursing her baby boy when he suddenly wailed out a passionate cry as if he'd fallen, this astounded her, little did she know that later that day she'd be given the dreadful news of Ayon's passing.
