2018 Lore Tournament - 15th December: The Tale of the Beast of Boleham Tower / The Black Powder Plot

Good morning everyone! [leblanc-funny] Yesterday's battle was really close at first, but then Frozen Hearts pulled away. (Voting is closed now, it won.)

Today, we have a story with a rather long title, so I had to shorten it to fit. Sorry Veigar. All stories are created equal, but some titles are shorter than others. (Totally not a short joke) The actual title is, of course, The True and Ghastly Tale of the Beast of Boleham Tower.

#2018 Lore Tournament: Day 10

Today, our contest is between two polar opposite villainous masterminds. While Swain uses tactics that people call villainous as a tool to bring strength and victory to Noxus, Veigar aspires to be the greatest force of evil in all the world!...except that his actions seem to do more good than harm, in the long run.

The True and Ghastly Tale of the Beast of Boleham Tower by Amanda Jeffrey The great evil sorcerer Veigar comes before a crowd of mere mortals below Boleham Tower, cowering before his great villainous stature and captivating evil speech. However, the people of Boleham begin to look differently upon the Tiny Master of Evil when they realize that he has actually been helping them by warding off the evils that their town was facing...

The Black Powder Plot by David Slagle General Granth gathers with the Noxian strategy council, led by Jericho Swain, the Grand General of Noxus. The council members discuss how to approach the coming battle with the locals of the Rokrund Plain, but Granth himself has some other plans in mind for Grand General Swain...

[EDIT] Voting is finished! As a reminder, I always confirm the results at 9 AM PST. The True and Ghastly Tale of the Beast of Boleham Tower, Bioluminescence's own creation, moves on to face "Whom does the Desert know?" on the 23rd.
