I think a tahm kench story would be cool.

Imagine if Tahm was traveling runeterra trying make deals with champs or new champs and failing. Imagine if tahm wanders into the noxian bad lands and tries to make a deal with kled. Or running away from an enraged Warwick. Or just him trying to convince yorick of that he could help him. Or maybe ivern just tries to be friends with tahm instead of making deals. I feel like that would be very entertaining if it became a story and would also give us an insight into multiple champs and their convictions.

I wrote a little short story for him the other day. I've been thinking about writing into a full on fanfic if I can find a place to post it other then just fanfiction.net.

In any case, tell me what you think.

An exceptionally small yordle had a heart bigger than the heaviest machines one can build, and he only ever wanted to give it to a girl he hoped to swoon. But sure enough, there was another she had her eye on. One who quickly made a name for himself in the league of legends.

After a particular bad day, the runt left Bandle City, hoping to prove he deserves his girl, but even with his brains and his skills with a hammer, he had nothing to his name to prove his worth. Fortunately, just as was leaving gates to his home, another door opened as he met a stange beast swam out of the river.

Even after sitting and talking with the beast for an hour after it emerged from the river, the yordle noticed how water continued to pour out of his mouth whenever they looked at each other face-to-face, but even so, its wise words and soothing voice allowed the yordle to trust his new friend.

"I am a traveller myself." the beast said to the yordle. "And I can take you to where you truly need to go to reach your full potential. Somewhere that your skills will equal power. Power that you've always had within yourself. In return, I ask that you save me a seat in that bar where you hang with your lady friend, for I crave your honey mead, as well as meal of a high quality. One that only your kind can serve."

A fair deal, the yordle thought. Thelove of his life in exchange for dinner on his gold? Why of course, that was a deal he was willing to make.

Thats pretty good and i like how you use a very underused part of leagues lore. The only issue i can point out in this is just that since the league doesnt exist anymore teemo wouldnt make his name in it. But you could easily change that. Overall very nice writing.

If it was up to rito, this game wouldn't have lore at all, wouldn't there? Feels like they forget how much-.- fun there can be with it, which is kind of why posts like yours was made.

But yeah, that's a good point for me to remember. The more I think about it, I didn't have any real plans with the League itself anyway. Like you said, it'll be easy to write around.

Tahm Kench's current lore lacks any champion interaction. What we got (and it was well executed) was a more like a fairy tale parents would tell their children in Bilgewater. Maybe the story changes from region to region.

It would be great to get a story where he is actually interacting with a champion from the game.

I would just love for more champion to champion interactions and especially ones who havent been as fleshed out. I feel that tahm would be the perfect candidate for some lore with some of the newer champs. Or ryze searching for rune in demcia and accidentally walking by galio. Stuff like that would flesh out the world a bit more or at least cement the relationships champs have with each other

Seeing Runeterra through Taric's, Ryze's or Tahm Kench's eyes would be pretty neat.

Tahm Kench reminds me of Warau Salesman. NEED MORE TAHM KENCH.
