Haelga, Maiden of the Ice

LORE

Man: Haelga's coming to our village! Can you believe it?? Woman: That boarish woman who thinks she can sing? Hmphhh! Man: She's gorgeous! And her voice is out of this world! Woman: She's ten feet tall and twelve hundred pounds. And her voice sounds like a manatee. I'm most certainly not jealous! Man: Whatever. She's performing tonight and I would love to take you. Woman: You mean a date? Oh how wonderful! Of course dear, I'd be delighted. Man: I'll come by later to pick you up then.

All of the village was gathered in the center, heavily buzzing with joy and wonder for this wonderful occasion. A stage was prepared for the performance, a heavy fur draped across for a curtain. Suddenly the fires went out all at once, the buzzing died, and the night was dark and still. A light from behind the fur glowed behind the stage, then the curtain lifted. Haelga stood tall on the platform, high above the heads of the crowd. She was truly a magnificent sight. Everybody waited. Letting the suspense kick in, she finally bellowed her first grand note. Her voice carried this first note for over a minute, and the note could still be heard as a far away echo minutes later. The depth of each note absorbed the audience of the village people, sending them into a melodic trance. The moon itself was captivated, and none could pry their unwavering attention from Haelga's astounding performance. She sang through the night into the peak of darkness, and her voice became soft. The calm of her voice lulling everybody, she took charge with one final breath taking note. Tears spilled from the corner of every eye. The note carried now even louder. People began falling to their knees, trembling with the flood of emotion. The note carried louder again. And louder. At this point the people were paralyzed in emotional ecstasy, and Haelga erupted into a loud falsetto that cracked the very face of the mountain. > Haelga spent most of her childhood assisting her father on his whaling boat. While navigating the rough seas, Haelga would keep the crew at ease by singing heartfelt operas of old. Haelga was always unnaturally large like her father, very tall and husky. Despite not being very physically attractive, Haelga is still considered one of the fairest women of all. Haelga's strong charisma and charming personality make her very likable, and her voice literally inspires attraction. Haelga has won the hearts of thousands, but she seeks a much greater stage- the League of Legends.
