So i always assumed Liandry was someone who got an item named after them or something in real life, but eve's new vo leads me to think otherwise

is there a person or entity in runeterra named Liandry? what were they like?

I know this is not canon but I wrote some fanfic once where Liandry was a fierce blood sorceress (a predecessor to Dmitri and Vlad if you will) whose reckless disregard for human life earned her a special sort of punishment. She was cursed to burn for a hundred years, but denied the relief of death. The enchanted mask, later to be known as Liandry's Torment, was the item they used to bind the curse.

I feel it sort of makes sense because blood mages strongly dislike being ignited and the in-game item seems to cause a sort of burning that doesn't ever kill the target.

You can enjoy my headcanon if you wish.[vlad-salute]

Universe-wise you can stab a blood mage all you want and they will do that trollpool thing where they desolidify and heal it all up. Set them on fire and they're done though, so I imagine fire gave them a special, visceral sort of fear.

In-game the nastiest thing you can do to a Vlad is ignite him before ult/big Q heal comes back.

That's actually pretty creative :)
