Tahm Kench's Lore

blueberrypancake·Jun 28, 2015·6 votes·2,069 views

"The whole world's a river, and I'm its king."

Tahm Kench travels Runeterra's waterways, feeding his insatiable appetite with the misery of the unsuspecting. The singularly charming gourmand savors every moment of his victims' suffering. A deal with Two-Coats may carry you to wherever you wish, but your journey will most assuredly end in the depths of despair.

Do you have a least one guy on staff that's willing to do a one page paper late so we don't have lore like this,

I'm a type of person who prefers trying to make the game better, but at this point the lore would be better if there was none of it

Seems like the lore team have a plan to use this short lores only on the client, but there is a problem to put greater lores in the site.

All the new champions that have come out recently have extremely short lores unlike what we have seen in the past with two or sometimes three paragraph lores they are now a couple sentences... Ekko Bard RekSai Kalista Azir

Though they do give out additional lore pieces for all those.

Azir got the shurima event videos and a full lore piece that was released on the boards.

Likewise Kalista also got a full lore piece on the boards,while Rek'sai and Ekko got stories that were posted on the official site(rek'sai got the diary of the noxian who tried to capture her and ekko got a comic how he lost his friend).

Bard meanwhile got the mountain video,although it doesn't reveal that much about bard,I think that is intentional as bard is supposed to be rather mysterious.

Though these lores aren't biographies like the old ones used to be,they are short stories a trend that has been common among newer champs for quite some time.

I'm still waiting on his reason to join the league... he just felt like joining or something?

Probably. Plenty of summoners to offer deals.

The Institute of War is not canon anymore.

In the case of Tahm, how much can you say about a crossroads demon without being redundant? No one occurrence should've ever affected his life. Heck, the champions before the ret-con didn't have a page long lore.

You are kinda late on that,they do these short lores ever since the Shurima event.

They plan to give us these short lores in the client as a short introduction for the champ,while releasing more lore on the main page and you'd get a link in the client to the real lore pieces.However tech issues are supposedly preventing that,leaving many champs stuck with their short lores.

It is unknown though if RekSai Bard Ekko (and maybe tahm as well) will get longer lore paragraphs even if the tech issues are solved or if their other "lore"-entries count as their full lore(Rek'sai got a diary of a noxian who tried to capture her,Bard got the mountain video and Ekko got his comic)
