Riot:Was Orlorn one of the tribal leaders that defeated Mordekaiser?

Ralanr·Jul 20, 2016·12 votes·1,575 views

As some of you are aware, Orlorn was the founder of Demacia. Demacia and Noxus have had a rivalry for as long as they can remember. Noxus is the former stronghold of Mordekaiser. Mordekaiser's last defeat was at the hands of a united group of tribes (I might be wrong on this).

So if Orlorn was one of those leaders, could that mean that Noxus was also one such tribe? And their rivalry could be a result of them disagreeing on what to do afterwards?

Just a thought.

If you really think about it...

Demacia was founded by the paragon Orlorn, who was most likely a warrior who protected his fellow man and defeated his foes. Likely a huge threat to Mordekaiser with his devastating hammer.

Noxus was founded by the barbarian, who charged into the heat of battle to win, even if he lost his life for the cause.

Piltover was founded by the architect-mage who always tinkered and developed battle plans and innovated ways to do things more efficiently.

Zaun was founded by the alchemist and mage who believed that progress was crucial, and given the limited time they had to defeat Mordekaiser, it was desparation that drove this thinking.

All of these tribes came together and pooled their skills to strategize and take down Mordekaiser at his weakest point. Then, when the enemy was vanquished, they grew distant, as their differing opinions would lead to conflict.

This supports my Headcannon of the founders being a band of adventures.

Think of it like the Fellowship of the Ring. At the end of the third movie, they just fight alongside an army.

And hide the ancient evil artifact instead of throwing it in a volcano.

MelledoneusJul 20, 20161 votes

Maybe throwing it in the volcano was just hiding it really, REALLY well. Because I would never dare to search through a stream of lava for a tiny ring.

They'd need a really good scuba suit for that.

Or an obsidian skin potion.

And a spelunker potion...

Get rekt, i farmed all the parts for the cell phone... (im tempted to go back and play terraria over again its been a while and i never defeated the moon lord solo)

MelledoneusJul 21, 20161 votes

Oh, no. I've farmed up the cell phone and defeated Expert Mode Moon Lord dozens of times. This is my 15th run of Terraria, I believe, counting those before 1.2.

CheekynorthJul 21, 20161 votes

Still stuck here on expert Moon Lord

Well, when you got an empire as large as Morde's there's bound to be conflict after you dethrone the Tyrant for the time being.

RalanrJul 20, 20161 votes

Exactly! Think of all that territory that had to be divided up, plus all the plunder that came from Mordekaiser's fortress!

You can't have an empire that big and feared and not have a massive treasure room. Even if Mordekaiser had no use for money, powerful artifacts and magic items would be useful, or at least good in his trophy room.

Hell, the hammer of Orlorn might have been from Mordekaiser's treasury!

Also, you can't govern an empire exclusively with undead thralls. He had his loyalists, sure, but gold and power can buy loyalty too.

Especially an Undead Warlord Necromancer would be having use of extremely powerful artefacts to boost his power and keep his enemies from using said artefacts.

RalanrJul 20, 20161 votes

Exactly how he uses items in game!

I'm picturing it now; the founders of northern Valoran's modern nations, Demacia, Noxus, Piltover and Zaun all having an come together to defeat Mordekaiser during a vulnerable moment, and then they all went off to do their own things.

:( Can we just involve yorick here. :( He needs to be involved somewhere.

RalanrJul 20, 20161 votes

Why? Yorick was most likely the lantern barer that Hecarim and his armies forced to guide them through the Blessed Isles.

Why would Yorrick relate to the fall of Mordekaiser? He probably wasn't even born then.

:( can we pretend.

RalanrJul 20, 20161 votes

But there is nothing to go on.

I like Yorick and I can't wait for the impact his lore update will have, but this doesn't relate to him.

This is speculation on the founding rivalry of Demacia and Noxus.

The twist: the shovel is the champion while Yorick is the weapon.

ehh I highly doubt Orlorn had any encounter with Morderkaiser or the shadow isle It self. Demacia is a very young nation compare to rhe other nation with only one or two hundred year of history. Morderkaiser was defeated before the ruin king and i'm sure that the ruin kings kingdom fell long before the rise od demacia.
