I'm conflicted. I love Olaf, so I want him to die gloriously, but I also don't want him to die

I can picture it now, Olaf and Mordekaiser battling on top of a mountain of corpse, the Black Mist raging in the background, surrounded by fire and lighting as the storm raged around them and Bilgewater burns. It would be so metal!

“Ya beauty!” he yelled and charged to his doom.

Then, and only then, would Lucian mourn his lost wife with tears and offerings to the Veiled Lady.

Demacian religious icon?

He drew on the teachings of his order, repeating the mantras he and Senna had been taught to close themselves off from emotion. Only then could he reach a place of equilibrium that would allow him to face deathly horrors beyond imagining.

Cross cultural exchange? Mantras and teachings of equilibrium are the hallmark of Ionia, yet Lucian and Senna were part of a Demacian order.

She grinned through her fear as she spun into cover behind a weather-worn stone bollard of the River King to reload. On impulse, she leaned over and gave his toothy grin a kiss.

It’s all about where you place your faith.

Miss Fortune cut a deal with Tahm "Two-coats" Kench.

“This ain’t our first Harrowing together, Captain,” said Rafen, tapping the skull pommel of his sword. “And I’ll be damned if it’s our last.” Yeah, I suppose he will be. I hope he doesn't die though. I like Rafen.

Also, why does Olaf only have one axe?

Wow, Olaf totally stole the spotlight for me.

His segments, epic and action-packed are a contrast of the gloomy and dreadful Harrowing tone, that actually seems to enhance them.

You've captured Olaf beautifully. His clear goals, his enjoyment, and even given new aspects to his personality. Makes me wanna take Olaf up to Top lane again.

Though I can't say his segments are my favorite, mainly because I cannot decide! The description of action is fluid rather than detailed (I prefer to write them detailed) which gives so much to the imagination. Mixing in jargon from the setting is a bit confusing, but it makes the atmosphere all the better.

I really love these. Wonderful writing! Makes me want to get back to writing. Damn college assignments and League!

So True Ice is effective against the undead, and Demacian armor resists necromancy?

Where is Gangplank during all of this im sure he has something to say. Maybe he'll see his ex Illaoi or reclaim Bilgewater while the Harrowing is going on.

So far Shadows and Fortune can be broken up into 3 sections:

-Miss Fortune and Rafen vs Harrowing things -Lucian trying to take down Thresh -Olaf having the time of his fucking life

I'm really enjoying this. Good to see a consistent amount of high quality lore coming out of you guys instead of months of dead-air. I also want to thank you for FINALLY in all the history of LoL having a story that TEMPORALLY OCCURS AFTER ANOTHER STORY. It actually gives a sense of progress and movement in the world. Makes it feel more real.

Also if Rafen lives through this, could he be a champion? He seems like a really chill dude. I know Lore people don't work in the same department as the champion team, but if players like him enough they'd probably do something with him.

Rigaroom10/28/2015, 7:26:01 PM4 votes

Why am I having the feeling that Rafen will be killed by the Black Mist ? He seems like a generic-best friend-side character-who will die later in the story to make it more dramatic ?

The Only Doctor10/28/2015, 9:21:22 PM4 votes

My question: where is Fizz during all of this? His lore says he's situated in Bilgewater, so where does he fit into the Harrowing? I want more Fizz love

The Soulforged10/28/2015, 11:03:13 PM4 votes

I think Rafen's blade is bildgewater cutlass.

Amazing work, thanks for it!
