The Noxian's Charisma

There are a few Noxians who manage to inspire lower ranking soldiers rush into certain doom and some how manage to win. http://www.clker.com/cliparts/3/0/5/6/11970857801243195263Andy_heading_flourish.svg.med.png I will start off with the first character introduced who showed off this capability.

"The first true test of Darius's resolve occurred in a crucial battle against Demacia, where the Noxian forces were exhausted and outnumbered. Darius's captain called for his troops to retreat, but Darius refused to accept such an act of cowardice. Breaking formation, Darius strode towards the captain and decapitated him with one sweep of his gigantic axe. Both terrified and inspired, the soldiers followed Darius into battle and fought with incredible strength and fervor. After a long and grueling battle, they ultimately emerged victorious."

ok so the tl;dr of this one is Darius's captain called for a retreat but darius killed him and inspired his fellow soldiers to go back into battle. They won that battle http://www.clker.com/cliparts/3/0/5/6/11970857801243195263Andy_heading_flourish.svg.med.png The second case of a person with the ability of "Noxian pride" is "I remember clearly the day he died. Our hated enemy had marched on us in force. They stood at our walls, ten soldiers fielded for every one of our own, their craven king hiding behind his army to witness us scoured from the face of Valoran with his own eyes. While others counseled me to bar the gates and force our foes to fight for every inch of Noxian soil, this man demanded we march out and face them. He would not cower behind the city walls while Noxus's enemies still drew breath. With our warriors at his back, he strode as a giant through the Demacian rabble with one clear purpose: to cut their army's head from its body.

Jarvan's royal guardsmen believed they could halt his charge. They were wrong. He cut them down, one by one, until only he and the king remained. Battered and fatigued, any lesser man would have given up the attack, but he was a true son of Noxus. He battled Jarvan beyond the point of breaking and was finally bested… but not beaten. With his dying breath, he locked his fingers around the king's throat and broke the will of a nation."

tl;dr for this is: Demacia was sieging Noxus with 10 demacian soldier for every noxian soldier. Jarvan I wanted to wipe Noxus off the face of Runeterra. Some leaders were debating about surrendering but SIon refused and inspired a large amount of soldiers to run into battle with him. Sion ran towards Jarvan I, guards thought they could stop him, Sion killed then Jarvan I and Sion were in battle until both of them died. http://www.clker.com/cliparts/3/0/5/6/11970857801243195263Andy_heading_flourish.svg.med.png The third and final case of the Noxian pride shows up in 's long as heck lore

"In command of the Legion was a gaggle of wealthy nobles bedecked in spotless golden armor. They were more concerned with their appearances and the intrigues of their class than the men they were commanding. Worse, these commanders - though well versed in assassination and tournament fighting - had proven hopeless on the field. With the remains of the army surrounded by enemy forces, the nobles ordered the Legion into a defensive circle in hopes of negotiating ransoms for themselves.

Then, as the morning sun rose, the mysterious figure of Kled appeared on the hilltop overlooking the battlefield. He rode Skaarl, an immortal desert drakalops. The mount stood on only two legs; its ear-like forelimbs fanned from the side of its head, hanging down apologetically, like a butler who had accedently dipped his hands in soup.

The lone rider stood on his steed's saddle. His weapon was rusted, his armor was worn, and his clothes were tattered - but a relentless anger burned from his one good eye.

"I'll give you one chance to get off my land!" Kled announced to the barbarian horde, but the yordle didn't wait for their answer. He spurred his steed and angrily screamed charge!!!!

Desperate, starving, and furious with the nobles, the Legion's anger ignited like blasting powder at the yordle's insane act of bravado. The enlisted men rushed after Kled and Skaarl as they tore into the center of the enemy formation.

What followed was the bloodiest melee the Legion had ever fought. The initial success of its surprise attack was crushed when the barbarians' reserve forces smashed into the Legion's flanks. With the battle turning against the Noxians and the enemy attacking from every side, Skaarl Skaarl the Cowardly Lizard 2 panicked, threw Kled, and abandoned the fight. Like the cowardly lizard creature, the Noxian soldiers faltered. But at their center, Kled fought on, chopping down foes, kicking out teeth, and biting faces.

Enemy bodies piled around Kled, and his clothes were soaked with blood. Despite the casualties he inflicted with every swing of his long axe, he was still forced back by the barbarians' relentless tide. He screamed louder challenges and cruder insults. Clearly, the yordle was willing to die before ever backing down.

Courage and cowardice are as infectious as the plague, however, and seeing Kled's determination, the legionnaires pressed on. Even Skaarl stopped running and turned to watch the Legion's last stand.

Then, as the Noxian line was breaking and the enemy's superior numbers pulled Kled to the ground, the drakalops triumphantly Skaarl the Cowardly Lizard 3 returned and crashed into the barbarians' rear. Snarling and clawing, it dove into the churning melee until it freed its master. With his mount again beneath him, the reinvigorated Kled became a whirlwind of death, and it was the barbarians who broke and ran.

Though precious few of the Noxian soldiers survived, the battle was won. The tribes of Drugne were defeated, and their lands were added to the empire. The bodies of the nobles, and their fine golden armor, were never found."

the second to last tl;dr is this: Barbarians were fighting a small group of Noxians and were winning until kled came along and fought a large group of them by him self after the group of Noxians ran away. a few minutes later http://www.clker.com/cliparts/3/0/5/6/11970857801243195263Andy_heading_flourish.svg.med.png tl;dr for this whole post A few Noxians show off an ability to inspire fellow soldiers even if they are outnumbered in a losing battle, then they win the fight. http://www.clker.com/cliparts/3/0/5/6/11970857801243195263Andy_heading_flourish.svg.med.png http://i.imgur.com/C5SQ1th.png
