Quarter Final [1 / 4] | Quarter Final [2 / 4] | Quarter Final [3 / 4] | Quarter Final [4 / 4]
Semi Final 1 | Semi Final 2
Welcome to the semi-finals! In the first semi-final, both stories deal with matters of power and rule in two different nations of Runeterra. The Principles of Strength takes place in Noxus, in which a member of an outlying fortress realizes the discipline required for a nation's strength. Twilight of the Gods takes place in Shurima after the fall of Azir and the corruption of many of the Ascended, in which one such Ascended discusses with the others about what must be done with the crumbling empire.

[EDIT] This was a close one at first, but then Twilight of the Gods pulled away. With 46 to 29 votes, it moves into the final!
