League of Legends story background

Summoner and defender hero

Summoner is now the name of the land of runes of magic masters. They can not only cast spells and make runes, but also summon other creatures to serve them. This is an act of sabotage. Some of the most powerful summoners can even summon creatures from other worlds to serve themselves. The losses caused by these acts are incalculable. To be sure, these acts of summoning other world creatures directly aggravate the instability of the rune land.

Creatures summoned by summoners have firm will and courage to survive in the process of summoning. Now people usually call these summoning creatures defenders. However, defenders and heroes are not controlled by summoners. If they are controlled, the summoner will treat them as servants. In a word, it is certain that no matter who the summoner calls, he will obey the summoner within a certain period of time after the summoning. When the call expires, the defender will not want to retaliate against the summoner. To make matters worse, when the summoning period ended, these defenders had to fend for themselves. Because the summoner has no obligation to send them back to their hometown. After this summoning spell that distorts the time and space of the real world, summoners usually don't have enough energy to send them away.

Since the emergence of League of Legends, the summoning behavior has been controlled and there have been fewer accidents. Cross-world and surreal summoning is forbidden (in fact, because most experimenters simply don't know how to start). Defenders will appear as the embodiment of the summoner's will, thus reducing the use of magic. Defenders will be sent back to their hometown after the game, but some homeless defenders now make Valoran and the War College their home.

As a member of the Alliance, Summoner is the best magic controller on the continent. The unique summoning magic and fearless spirit enable them to control the summoned powerful defenders. In the battle, the summoner connects himself with the chosen defender hero, guides them to fight and solves the real struggle. Summoners who participate in combat will gain experience and grow. The stronger and more skilled the summoner, the stronger the hero's ability to be manipulated in battle. But no matter how powerful the summoner is, a summoner can only control one defender in each battle. For defenders, the summoner's words are the law, and they will go all out to win the battle.

In every battle, the summoner will get the influence points (IP values) of League of Legends, and the winner will get a lot of influence values. Influence values can be used to exchange runes, unlock new guardian heroes, and even directly change the rules of the land of justice (only temporarily, of course). The main political events in Valoran depend on the outcome of the land of justice, and the losers can only go home in frustration. Not all summoners are representatives of the political forces in Varoshan. Some people become members of the alliance for personal reasons, but there is no loyalty.

Defender is the force behind the summoner, and Valoran's political dispute resolution mechanism is also based on this. The hero's sword and magic are the key to determine the course of historical destiny. Defenders and heroes also have their own reasons to fight in the land of justice: money, fame, influence, and even just to satisfy bloodthirsty desires. Defenders are usually willing to obey the summoner, believing that the energy flowing through them will lead the kingdom to prosperity. Whatever the reason, the guardians and summoners who guide and help them decide the fate of the world.

Man and Jordan

There are two local races in the land of runes, which constitute the main forms of intelligent life-humans and Jordanians. Although there are many strange creatures in the land of runes, humans and Jordanians are the earliest inhabitants and expanders of this continent.

Human beings are bipedal intelligent creatures, whose characteristics include dependence on language and the invention and utilization of complex tools. Humans are divided into two sexes, male and female. The average height of men is 1.8m, and that of women is1.65m. So far, human beings are the most famous race in the land of runes. Their skin is smooth and the key parts are covered with hair. Although there is no protective fur, human beings are still a powerful race. They can still thrive in the worst environment. The average life span of human beings is about 100 years old.

Although human immigrants are almost everywhere in Valoran, most of them live in large city-states. Humans are gregarious animals, although they can survive in an isolated environment. Humans have no obvious tendency towards good and evil, but pay more attention to their own racial habits, such as talent, overcoming challenges, successful self-defense and so on. If we must say that human beings are different from other creatures, exploration is the most important driving force in human life, which drives human beings to seek to establish a new city-state whenever possible and share it with other similar people.

Whether in material life or spiritual life, human beings are a versatile race. Generally speaking, they are not particularly excellent races, but a few people are excellent in some fields that require high sensitivity. Human beings are very strong, and most people have the ability to work overtime and do strenuous physical labor. Arihoshi, tank and mixed occupation in adventure travel are the occupations that human beings are good at.

Like human beings, Cordar people are bipedal intelligent creatures. In addition, they also depend on the creation and utilization of languages and loading tools. Like human beings, Cordar people are divided into men and women. Both men and women are shorter than humans, generally not exceeding 1 m, and the average increase of Jodl people is only 0.8 m. Their skin ranges from a little fur to thick hair. Jodl people's eyesight is usually weaker than that of human beings, and the visible spectrum is less. However, their hearing is better than that of human beings, and they can see infrared spectrum, which human beings can't do.

Compared with human beings, Jordanians need social interaction among their own kind. Most Jordanians live in the northeast of Varoland, and gather behind the safety zone of Mount Sibal in the capital city of Banda. Cordar people are a peaceful and friendly race, and prefer to pursue happiness and a little mischief. Their moral principles usually point to kindness and kindness. Their desire for social harmony and interaction endows this race with such temperament, and Jodl people's mental health is largely attributed to positive social interaction. But that doesn't mean that the Jordanians don't have a cruel demon side. In fact, a Jodl that has been isolated from the world for a long time-especially those who have no access to other Jodl-may become withdrawn and gloomy. Some Jordanians with malice will become extremely vicious after a period of time. In fact, the goal of these Jordanians is no longer social interaction, but to make others suffer.

Timaxia

On the west coast of Varoland, the human city-state of Timassia, as a model of virtue on the mainland, shines with all other human settlements. The common goal of the Timasians is to make everyone live a better life through kindness and justice. They believe that malice and selfishness, like diseases, should be eradicated from people's souls. People who came to and settled in Timassia have the same ideals and virtues as the local residents. People who harm others and benefit themselves will soon find that their end here is exile. . . Or worse.

However, life in Timasi is not like a utopian dream. Timasi people proudly consider themselves as moral pioneers in Valoan, and they use harsh punishment to ensure that their moral standards are the only standards for residents. Any form of crime will be severely punished, and there is no such thing as a misdemeanor in Marcia. In this regard, opponents (criticizing outside the city-state) think that this is evidence of the inherent hypocrisy of the Timasians. The Timasians retort that their judicial system has incorporated kindness and light sentences into their sentences. No one will be punished without a fair and impartial analysis of the incident environment. Although others may still criticize the harshness of justice in Timassia, the Timassians still insist on their own opinions.

Timasi is the only constitutional monarchy in Varo Mountain. The king is the head of state; The elected parliament is the legislature of this city-state. Although the king is an excellent ruler, he is still restricted by the parliament of Timasia. The current king is Gavin III, also known as the Light Shield. He enthusiastically cooperated with the parliament to ensure the safety and purity of the city-state. Since Gavin I, there has never been any coup and rebellion in Timasi. The king is not only the highest political leader of the city-state, but also the supreme commander of the army.

Timassia's army is one of the strongest in Varo Mountain, and it is also the only force that can stop Noxas' hunger and thirst war machine in the near future. Noke Since the establishment of two city-states hundreds of years ago, Noxas has been the sworn enemy of Timassia. The source of the dispute between the two is the extremely different moral philosophy. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Timasia regards the army as a major event related to the life and death of the city-state. All residents must perform military service for at least 3 years. Even after the expiration of their service, most of the Temaseks were still active soldiers in the polis.

Timassia was one of the first city-states to support League of Legends, but their starting point was not to maintain the stability of the planet, but more to worry about Knox's threat to Varon. Marcia sent the best magic apprentices to the War College, and some of them became summoning masters. Timasia has its own place of justice, and later reduced the huge expenditure of maintaining military share. The Timassian army in the post-alliance era is still strong, but its focus has changed from regaining the army occupied by Noxas to a defensive force.

Timassia is a shining lighthouse, radiating the light of hope of human nature, and the city itself is an intuitive display of faith. The city looks pure and simple, with towering spires dotted with the horizon of Timasia. The buildings in Timasi are made of marble and white stone. The solemn flag is flying high on the city wall, and the city wall shines with strength and nobility. The city is located next to a natural port, and most of the city is located on the plain.

Noxus

Noxas, a human city-state, located in the far east center of the Varoshan continent, is completely different from Timassia in moral standards. The city pursues powerful power by hook or by crook, whether materially or spiritually, regardless of its influence on others. As far as the quality of Knox residents is concerned, they are basically supporters of this criterion. Although it looks cruel, it is not a sign of chaos. Because of human nature, Knox is an orderly city-state, protecting the situation from infringement … at least from the same kind of infringement. However, in Knox, powerful people are obviously protected by law.

The highest political ruling institution here is Knox High Command and the highest military authority in China. In Knox, the army controls all aspects of the political map; There is no clear dividing line between war and politics. Burnham, commander-in-chief of eternal youth? General Duckwell has ruled Knox for countless years, which has far exceeded the average life span of normal human beings; Rumor has it that he has lived through spiritualism for so many years. Considering that General Duckwell ruled Knox's high command before Gavin I, King of Timasia, this rumor is indeed credible.

Noxas is strange and scary to outsiders who don't welcome non-human creatures. The best outcome of non-human creatures is to be told that they are not welcome at the border of the polis. Although there are exceptions, only the value of living things is proved to be awe (or both). Human visitors and immigrants can only be treated a little, and your value and awe are the key to being accepted by Noxas society.

Residents of Knox must perform compulsory military service for six years, and all school-age residents actively become reservists. Even so, Knox's high command still has the right to recruit any residents, regardless of age. Those who voluntarily join the army will be superior in Knox society. Knox's army was rarely short of men, although it was forced to sign an exchange peace agreement with its old enemy Timassia.

Knox's high command chose not to be an enemy of League of Legends strategically, and even gave some help to the League's activities, although reluctantly. Valentin's power brokers all know that Knox Sass can see the situation clearly and be enemies of the alliance, especially the huge Valentin alliance behind him, which is tantamount to killing himself for Knox Sass. And helping the alliance can achieve at least two purposes. First, Noxas can live in peace with Timassia to some extent. So Noxas can concentrate on conquering other regions. Secondly, Noxas can concentrate his important magic talents on the alliance and reserve victory for the battle with the Temaseks. So far, the endless war between Knox Sass and Marcia is still endless. The battle between them is more through the agents of the land of justice, and it is not necessary to pay a lot of manpower and material resources as before. When the enemy relaxed, Knoxas' army was also trimmed.

Noxas is as dark and dangerous as its style. Cities are built on granite hills, but some urban areas go deep underground. The building stands on the top of the mountain or goes deep into the mountainside. The formidable artificial moat outside the city is full of evil and rancid potions from witches. The moat has become the best barrier to the outside world, leaving only a few heavily guarded checkpoints. Living on the top of the mountain is the headquarters of the Supreme Council of Knox Sass. Seen from a distance, the building looks like a skull. Lying outside the city wall are poor people who can't live in the city (maybe they are the lucky ones)

The underground part of the city is almost as big as the above-ground part, and countless shops, pubs and residential areas fill the dilapidated lower part of this infamous city-state. Noxas has the largest underground passage network in the land of runes, and countless Noxas nobles claim to have numerous labyrinthine corridors and underground rooms.

Bandle

There is an isolated canyon in the southeast, surrounded by sable mountains, where Bandel City, the capital of Jodl people, is located. Bandel is the oldest city-state in the land of runes, and its history is earlier than Timasi and Noxas. Bandel City is also the most isolated city-state in Varoland-Jodl people like it. Although Jodl people are very friendly and help each other, the natural self-protection of the city prevents them from enjoying life. The scouts of Bandel City (the defense force and archaeological team of the city-state) are familiar with every corner and gap of Sable Mountain, and their duty is to ensure that every adventurer with justified reasons can complete the task safely.

Bandel City is one of the city states with the least population in Varolan, but its influence has already crossed the southern part of the mountains and reached the coast guarding the sea. Countless farms and small villages outside Bandel are dotted with picturesque scenery. Scouts patrolled the whole basin along a carefully maintained road. Scouts even maintain a network of underground passages extending in all directions, which can quickly cross basins and canyons, frustrate the enemy's plans to climb mountains and mountains, or quickly reach the noisy coastline.

Bandel city consists of residential and commercial areas, and some places even blend in with the surrounding environment. There is also a small scientific research institution in Bandel City (of course, there is no scientific research institution comparable to Peter Wolf and Zon in terms of scale and resources). Bandel City takes advantage of many square communities, so everyone in Jodl can celebrate and enjoy each other's affairs. The buildings in the city are simple, but there are also many decorations that Jodl likes. Most importantly, almost all the buildings are in Jodl style. Bandel has a small human community, but its architectural style has been assimilated.

Ai Ou Nia

Ai Ou, a city-state located on the island, is a paradise for spiritual evolution. Ai Ou, Virginia is located in the northeast of Knox Sass, outside the Valo Mountain continent. Although the main population of this country is human, some Jordanians and other world races also regard it as their home. There are many religious centers and schools in Ai Ou. They live in harmony and seek answers to the most mysterious questions in life: for example, where are we from? Who Are We? What is the true meaning of life? Wait a minute. These ideas occupy almost all the time, so Ai Ou has no intention of becoming an empire. Ionians love peace by nature. In Ai Ou, diplomacy is an art and diplomats are respected by all residents. The Ai Ou Court in Virginia is a model of fairness and neutrality recognized by all Varoshans. Therefore, Judge Ai Ou is the most popular position besides League of Legends judges.

Ai Ou has long declared its neutrality in the political affairs of Mount Varo, but this gesture can't keep Ionia away from mainland disputes. Recently, Noxas, the city-state of human power, turned its conquest target to Ai Ou. Before League of Legends could completely influence the political affairs of Valentin, Noxas had launched a series of campaigns aimed at conquering Ai Ou. Ai Ou successfully stopped the attack of the high command of Knoxas. In fact, the deadlock between Noxas and Ai Ou and Noxas' attempt to escalate the war are one of the main reasons for the establishment of the alliance.

Ai Ou is a city of gardens and temples, and nature reserves and parks can be seen everywhere. The beauty of peace is spread all over the country, and ports and industrial zones are no exception. The buildings here will be built as much as possible from the perspective of environmental protection. All the buildings in Ai Ou are luxuriantly decorated, especially all kinds of temples. Magic can be released freely in Ai Ou, but it can only be used for peaceful purposes. The largest energy node in the city-state has been transformed into an important temple and government agency.

One of the most Ai Ou-style buildings is just outside the university. The college is committed to improving the spiritual height of the people in rune land as much as possible. Most notably, this college has trained Suo Laka, an alliance hero, who is a member of the country's ruling parliament. Creatures from the whole land of runes gather here to seek the secrets of spiritual enlightenment. Some of Ai Ou's most successful diplomats spend time studying outside universities.

Blue Flame Island and Birgewater

Blue Flame Island is actually a wrong ancient name. In fact, Blue Flame Island is the floorboard of three independent islands on the east coast of Jodl City in the mainland of Varoland. During the Third Rune War, the island was torn to pieces by the destructive magical power caused by the biggest battle. An oversized rare metal bomb with highly unstable magic landed on the island and caused an explosion. The subsequent explosion not only destroyed the garrison on the island, but also melted everything and added a layer of shell to the island. Magic mixed with magma and ejected from the fragmented surface.

Bilgewater is an extension of the blue flame island, which was not discovered until 80 years ago. Located in the largest of the three islands, it has a wide natural port that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, facing the eastern coast. The largest island in the three-island chain is still the most stable. Birgewater can expand into a real city-state. This town can't be a political entity, because it is the refuge of the established kingdom of Varoland. The political and geographical environment finally made it a refuge for pirates and developed into the most lawless maritime smuggling center in the land of runes. Countless pirate ships moored at Bill Gaywater. The arrival of countless pirates in the land of runes has also made the city develop into an unofficial trade center, where you can find all kinds of precious items, even contraband.

League of Legends had an impact on Bill Givoort, but the effect was very weak. Birgewater, a city-state, did not formally join the alliance, because there was no central political organization that spoke on behalf of the city-state. Pirates, smuggling groups and legitimate businessmen in Birgewater jointly set up a management organization. The military threat from foreign countries is negligible for the island, because Birgewater has a powerful naval fleet on standby. There is also a saying that the magic station exploded in the third rune war hundreds of years ago, but the magic has been mixed into the geological environment of Birgewater, and even the alliance needs to pay a high price to exert magical influence on the island. This statement can explain the alliance's tough attitude towards Bill Givat, especially in neighboring Ai Ou, which often complains. For whatever reason, a large number of troublemakers gathered here and made this illegal city their home.

From the outside, Bilgewater is a water city with a standard pirate style and mixed with other elements. The land environment where Bill Givot lives is not particularly stable. To this end, residents here have extended their buildings into the water. Once the entrance to the main port of Birgewater was cleared, a large number of residential and commercial areas of the city-state extended to the water's edge. There are countless pubs in the city, both on the shore and in the water, which have become a highlight of the city. For pirates, friendly relations with pubs are as important as swearing allegiance to pirate ships.

Forgotten land, Ikaya

From the land of voodoo to the mountainous coastline, there is a forgotten place. Everyone thought it was a wasteland, destroyed by the remains of the ancient rune war. However, this is only the appearance of Icahia.

The fate of a traveler who strays into a sinful place is usually death or forgetting, but either way may be a relief. This is a land of destruction, the ruins of the ancient city are full of fog, grotesque and huge decaying stone statues everywhere, and they are all dark and horrible gods. Here is the worship of endless empty creatures.

There are still people living in Ikaya. They are the fallen descendants of the builders of this dark place. Almost all local residents have learned ancient magic from the endless void from generation to generation. They have been waiting for generations and have been studying the forgotten prophecies in the banned books. By abusing magic, they once again brought the world of Varoland closer to other different worlds. They have been waiting, and one day they can follow their master into the endless void, so that they can rebuild Icaria again and find their horror paradise in another world.

This day has finally arrived. In a recent rune war, the warlocks in Icaria began the task they had been looking forward to. Their first step is to explore Summoner's Canyon and find ways to use magic infinitely. Their result is the appearance of Chegas. This empty beast is fighting in League of Legends now, but the Icahn people know that it won't be long. When Chegas gets tired, he will return to Icaria and a new era will begin.

Piirto Fu

Piltov is a peaceful city-state, located in the north of Varo Mountain, and is committed to promoting the development of science and technology. Of course, Pieterwoff also has magic power, but technology has been widely used and become the first choice of residents. "Magic is the fuel of technology engine" is the common sense of Peter Wolf. Heck science and technology is Peter Wolf's legal principle.

Pierre Wolff not only regarded Zon city-state as his own threat, but also regarded it as a threat to the security of the whole world. According to the leader of Piltov, the rune war made the inhabitants of the whole planet abuse magic, which would eventually lead to the collapse of the planet. Pierre Wolff's scientific research institutions regard this as a matter of life and death and pay close attention to it all the time. They think that Zon abuses magic at will, disregarding the lessons of the past and trading the future of the planet for the present knowledge and strength. Pierre Wolff has only one defense team, equipped with the latest Heicks technology products. The organization led by Pierre Wolff constantly exerts economic pressure on Zoenshi and uses various strategies to minimize the losses caused by the abuse of magic and technology.

Piltov looks like a standard rune city, except that there are countless factories and workshops on most of the land. With the permission of the polis, some important energy nodes were transformed into Heicks science and technology factories and research laboratories. Heicks Science and Technology Cranes are widely used in the port area, which can load and unload goods quickly. Through the cleaning tools provided by technology companies, the city has become very clean. In fact, Peter Wolfe has deviated from the original route and tried to become an environmentally friendly city-state as much as possible. They regard themselves as a pioneer city in scientific and technological research and show the world the benefits brought by the harmonious development of science and technology and magic.

Zorn

Zuo En is a city-state located in the north of Varoland, distorted by the abuse of magic and technology. Numerous notorious terrorist technologies and magical creations were invented here. In fact, the original intention of Zon government is to protect Zon's experiment from opposition. The soul of the city came here to pursue academic freedom under Peter Wolfe's conservative law. Zuo En has excellent scientific research, but the loose management and control of scientific and magical research makes Zuo En a dangerous place to live.

Zon proudly claims that it has the largest variety of chemical research centers in Varoland. Many city-States-even competitor Peter Wolfe-have chemical trade with Zon. In addition, Zuo En is also the alchemy center of Varoland, and only a few alchemists live outside Zuo En. Residents of Valoran should be careful about the chemical industry, which is more unreliable and unpredictable than alchemy. However, in Zon, these are unknowable.

Zuo En looks very different from ordinary cities. The city is shrouded in a layer of pollutants at any time, and the sky changes from gray to green. Zon residents usually wear masks to prevent inhaling too many pollutants. There are huge chimneys in countless factories in marginal cities, and each chimney is emitting unknown chemicals into the sky. Acid rain is a common occurrence here, and the buildings in Zon have left countless traces of acid rain corrosion. Witch's medicine and waste chemicals are discharged into Zon's huge underground waterway system, which makes the system extremely unstable and unsafe.

Run land and technology

Because of the rich magical energy and skillful use of magic, almost everything in the land of runes must be baptized by magic first. This is the inhabitant of the land of runes. They regard the purest magic as the pillar of everything, but in fact, the world needs to get rid of its dependence on magic. Some people who seek self-improvement begin to develop applied technology. Pure theory defines science as a systematic knowledge system about the material world obtained through natural observation or experiment. Science and technology have maintained vigorous development without crossing the laws of nature, and the original ecological magic only breaks these laws through various chaotic methods.

Although there are far more wizards who pursue magic power than scientists who pursue science and technology, science has developed and grown in Varoland. Many people regard magic as a universal skill, but only regard technology as a substitute for magic that consumes less. For example, a magician can light the torch with a snap of his fingers and consume some energy. Doing the same thing through science requires more action and material consumption, but it does not require magical energy. As long as the land of runes still contains rich magical energy, there will always be more magicians than scientists.

The science that has the greatest influence on magic is physics. Physics defines the natural laws of the world, and magic has the most direct unnatural influence. If there is no natural force, then why is there such a rich magical energy in the land of runes? Scientists reject this view because magic is not good for the natural order. Magic in nature is only a temporary form of energy. The world will eventually depend on some natural laws, and it will take a long time to form. In this respect, magic is the most unlikely source of energy. This is a confusing argument, and neither side has obvious right or wrong answers.

In the eyes of ordinary people, among all scientific disciplines, chemistry is the one with the closest relationship with pure magic. Chemistry is a science involving the combination, change and reconstruction of material properties, which changes through chemical reactions. Through scientific formulation, every chemical reaction is a predictable repetitive process, and every reaction process consumes a small part of magic as an energy source. Some scholars believe that chemistry is the best link between magic and science in the rune world. The real connection between chemistry and science really comes from alchemy. The pursuit of alchemy is to use unknown magical energy to change matter from one form to another in imagination. The best example is the golden touch.

Some cultures praise magic, but regard alchemy and chemistry as the embodiment of the devil. This statement is very influential, at least among most of the people living in Varoland. In fact, League of Legends recently opened a new school, which specializes in teaching and promoting chemistry. There is no doubt that this will be driven by the most successful hero in the league. However, there are still some misunderstandings in chemical trade. Old prejudices will not disappear so easily.
