Not only is this well written, intense masterpiece an overall good story to have in our Lore-based library, but I plead Riot to make more of these. It takes work, I know, but I just want Riot to know that this is a PERFECT direction for the lore.

The story is intense, heartwarming, I've never felt any type of emotion for RIVEN of all characters, let alone be so compelled in a political thriller-esque story revolving around her! And best of all, were finally getting some PROGRESS! Were getting off those cliffhangers and finally moving forward with some stuff!

Along with that, I hope you make more 'Biography-comics' for other Champions. Knowing their story is one thing, but the comics for Riven and Yasuo are very pleasing visuals that summarize the story!

Oh, we intend to do plenty more like this. ;-)

Yes im with you! this is actually a progressing story, instead of bits of short bios or short stories which only explains what made the characters into what they are. a tragic experience, a loss. However this story shows whats happening to Riven and what she is going through based on her bio. in my opinion this is Riven's "now"! this is the story of the Exile, what we had before was the story of Riven the Noxian commander!

While I really like the story and hope that we'll get to see stories like this more often in the future,I'd rather like them to focus on updating champion bios(and maybe color stories) first.

I want every champ to have at least a place in the lore,before they focus on expanding on the lores of other champions.

The mystery was finally solved, Riven and Yasuo are now complex characters, ah the read was SO GOOD. Came here to make this post myself but I see you have done it for me. We need more stories like this. Maybe a detective series featuring caitlyn, vi, jinx etc?

It's a good story, but while reading it I was afraid I might cut myself on the edge.

Right now, I just wonder what is left for Riven. I say that because she wasn't given much of a lead towards anything else other than "Live peacefully with her new family and rebuild village."

With TF and Graves, they were left off with an adventure towards Piltover.

Yasuo still has to find forgiveness in himself and walk away. He no longer has to prove his innocence, but he still has to get over the things that he has done in an attempt to survive. He can still adventure out. Riven not so much.

Wonderful story overall though. It was very moving.

I actually had non-violent and non-hatred emotions for Riven and Yasuo. Good job Riot, I really loved this story arc! [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

Now we wait for Riven's VGU. I just don't like her in this current shape and form. Just my two cents on the matter, given that new Irelia hit the right mark with me where previously, i disliked her on a very different level.

I'm utterly disappointed at Elder Souma's cause of death. Why make it a complete freak accident when there was SO MUCH interest in Riven/Yasuo's story among their mains? It was a very interesting story, and his killer was never identified, and now you just made it a freak accident where everyone is all "Oh well, let's all walk off now and live happily ever after". You could have introduced a new wind based champion who was the real killer. Hell, you could have blamed it on Janna and it would have been more interesting. ;-; Even if Riven was the killer, freak accident just seems like a terrible cop out.

Hopefully this is the first of many expansion stories so we can finally have some plot moving, even if it's small.

I know, personal opinion, but I prefer stories that are "easy" to read and is not written in English 100+ years ago. This one did a good job at making things readable, not overly descriptive, have progressive plot, involve more than just NPCs, and didn't change existing lore.

I agree, Riot should do more of these.

######And another reason to actually ship Riven with Yasuo :^)

I must say that I dislike the daily releases. I'd rather read the full story in one sitting without having to go through the artificial tension created by the breaks.

just wondering how the people of ionia will react when they realize yasuo was accused of something he didnt do and sentenced him to death
