2019 Lore Tournament - Day 11: With the Flowers vs Thorns of the Black Rose

EDIT: The Black Rose triumphs over the Night-Blooming Zychid with 29 to 12 votes. #####~~ Some generic title~~

Uhhhm... I have no idea what to put here, glad to see that you all are still here and voting and enjoying the stuff I write. Are you excited for the Game Awards tomorrow, which are supposed to reveal the first narrative-focused single-player game from Riot Forge? I sure am.

#####Flowers bloom and wilt

Flowers, flowers everywhere... Today, we take a look at Runeterra's most dangerous flora: flesh-eating and otherwise.

In the first story, a wife buys a rare flower to celebrate the opening of their new business. She leaves the Night-Blooming Zychid alone, while her husband deals with business-stuff and goes to bed.

In the second story, Thorns of the Black Rose General Granth, the hero from the Gates of Mourning, is led to a meeting of the ominous Black Rose. His cousin leads him further and further inside the Immortal Bastion, then reveals herself as the pale lady. Granth commits to her cause, for he will kill the usurper Jericho Swain - or die trying...
