Each region (NA/EUW/ect) have its own slightly different trailer (depending of the language) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/293500383769133056/343466050068807680/image.png

But each region brings new information https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/293500383769133056/343466513799446548/image.png

I have got to know though...which language is the teaser poem sung in? Because I am getting huge Scandianavian vibes off of it (Danish/Norwegian or thereabout).

TheMoralSupportAug 6, 20171 votes

I'm Swedish, and personally I found it sounding similar to like, ol' native Scandinavians that live in Sweden, the Sames. It sounded awfully familiar to their language, although I'm not sure at all.

PaladinNOAug 6, 20171 votes

As a Norwegian, I recognized some of the words (which had a northern dialect of some sort), but as others were hidden in the voice pitch, I couldn't manage to make them out as a coherent sentence.

None of the Sami language is known to me, but I wouldn't rule that out.

..."you'll soon find Ornn"

"...skal du finne Ornn"

Was what I made out.

And another word; "blive". I can feel my brain scrambling to find the language that contains that word... Considering the context, I suspect it's the translated "shall soon".

And the last part of the first verse: "And you'll know, you're nearing Ornn" "Og du vet, du nærmer Ornn"

The above doesn't really make sense (I suspect poetic liberties on the grammar has been taken), because "du nærmer Ornn" literally translates as "you nearing Ornn". Skipping the "you are nearing".

Not that I care about the grammar, I just really, really, REALLY want to know the "behind the scenes" on the language(s) used!

My bet is on the Norse language. Similar words (synonyms) to what we use in the current every-day "modern" language, but the words themselves are rather ancient.

TheMoralSupportAug 6, 20171 votes

Well we can draw the conclusion that it must be related to a germanic language with north influences. In Swedish, Blive is very similar to "bli, or "bliva" which can mean different thinks in different contexts. E.I. To be, or like you said "shall soon". Hm.. this is hard one to crack

TheMoralSupportAug 6, 20171 votes

It reminds me of when a native english speakers tries to speak swedish for the first time lol, I'm write down what I hear:

Ok so after listening to it, she seems to be singing the lyrics. As a swede I'd think it was some sort of norwigean with an accent

PaladinNOAug 6, 20172 votes

We're definitely in the right area: Vocalist: Christine Hals Norwegian-Swedish film composer [...]

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4620230/

Blive is very similar to "bli, or "bliva", which can mean different thinks in different contexts.

"Blive" is not just very similar to those words - it IS the same, but the Norwegian version. And "blive" also means those same different things depending on context.

Until we get anything official, I'm settled on Norse/old Norwegian.

Even with my poor swedish skills I could make out quite a few words. Too bad they didn't include any finnish words or sounds. I mean I get that finnish is completely different, but it would be nice to see the finnish language get some love (ty riot for the Poros).

Shit, I missed a few lines my bad.

Top left:

"If you had seen the metal is (...) This material, as it was expensive (...) But I(he?) would give you only (?) (...) The third sister (...) The Bridge.

*With that tool (...) bad (or evil?) through the (...) Ornn who (...)."

And dialogue? there are quotation marks as if someone was either speaking or quoting something.

I believe in you.

NecrozardAug 6, 20175 votes

Apparently someone is still rulling his kingdom under sea with a trident forged by Ornn (with some star mineral?)

And for some obscure reasons he is also looking for some pillars and gave an item (fireproof?) to each of the Freljord sisters

Anyway, i love these kinds of "mini-lore events" to spend time before the release

Thank you lore team ;)

HydroxlicAug 6, 20174 votes

I think its Fizz's trident, in Fizz's lore it says he takes an enchanted trident from an old ruin.

NecrozardAug 6, 20172 votes

I read somewhere it was a trident :v

EUW, Italian:

Top left:

I've never seen the god [...] nor she's ever seen [...] His/Her legends [...] And before that [...] The faces [...] The fire [...] around [...] We must [...]

Top right:

[...] black. [...] primordial [...] the Seal (1)

Bottom left:

But this didn't stop the Three Sisters [...] nights to ask him. "There are creatures [...] that attack our tribes" said the Fist Sister.

Bottom right:

He gifted him [...] True agent of change. He looked at the landscape, generated by his fight [...] go. After this, Ornn dedicated himself to craft tools and artifacts (2)

Translator's notes:

(1) the animal. Common names in Italian aren't written with capital letters, so it's quite odd.

(2) I'm not quite sure about the last word being "artifact", because it's half-covered by the image of the page.

PlacentasAug 6, 20172 votes

It kinda sounds like as though Ornn may have been the creator of the True Ice weapons that the sisters use.

Hello Mates,

So I can Help with these :

http://universe.leagueoflegends.com/el_GR/region/freljord/?mv=freljord-song

In Greek it seems that he has some ties to Anivia,

It says : It was Anivias Fault...Even if... Why Anivia never told him the..(truth?)....because i told that i like my job>> Said Ornn,....Dmg

where (...) its covered

And on the other page at the end it says

When he (Orn) was exhausted he (wished?) And the Earth answered to him opening up a flaming....throwing her heart.

NecrozardAug 6, 20172 votes

I was aware of many translations, but not at all about the implications of Anivia :O

eNRogueAug 6, 20175 votes

It seems the talk about Anivia is only in the Greek one..

Riot trolls us,by giving to greeks (myself included) more info,cause they know we are so lazy we will not translate it :D

Spasimpa krasava ,i could not see clearly,my vision is bad :) but you are completely right

KrabohodAug 6, 20173 votes

Honestly, upon futher investigations about all information we have, it seems like we have almost identical information. Riot just gave full texts to translators to each region. And translators translated the full texts, and then Riot just took the bottom part of it. Thats why it seems like it's different information, it just was translated differently and the order of words is non-consistent in languages.

Cause all regions have this information about trident in the Great Sea, and about Ornn talking to three (sisters I suppose) and telling them too much.

eNRogueAug 6, 20172 votes

Indeed...a wise edit xD

It does but it also say after he (Orn) was finished with the TER?

Good Morning Faux :)

Here is my reply to Bioluminescence in another post.

He did help somehow the 3 sisters of Freljord but in the End he understood his wrongs and choose to go against them,he has a connection with Anivia,i think Anivia did not trust him,or turned her back on him,and he is the one that made the Trident of Nami,and nami is now officialy the ruler of the underwater Mer-rmaid Kingdom :) (Or Fizz as someone said in this post,but i think it says She rules not so sure)

Also he did kill a lady/woman/girl,or the three sisters or Anivia killed someone important to him so he turned his back to them,and threw her heart into the volcanoe (i think).

Added some changes.(And this is only from the texts in Russian/German/English/Greek).I got really confused with all the other translations.
