The 9 Deadly Legends

Prologue: Astral Century and the New Dawn

Theme: The Astral Century/ (All in Your Mind by Magicxbeats: watch?v=utDd-1FJTiI )

Few can make the claim to be legend or to have been born into legend but true legends are forged not created and through actions and arduous trials can be acknowledge as such.

"Quote from Mage Lord Urom"

It's still largely unknown about how the Astral Century came to an end or what prevented humanity and the other denizens of Earth from facing total extinction by the hands of beings that defied mortal comprehension or worse themselves. Intervention by a divine being or forefathers realizing the folly of their ways? All of it remains a mystery to scientist and scholars far and wide.

War was an integral part and way of life for the provinces. Whether it was for expansion, fighting over resources or simply struggling to survive from whatever force that threatened destruction and annihilation. Only the strong would prosper and the weak would perish into obscurity. Sinister agents of darkness used the constant strife between the continents to manipulate and cause further schism within the infrastructure of Azaroth, Demacia and Noxus. Realizing that they were far too great a threat to ignore, the three major continents entered into an uneasy truce in order to face their mutual enemy. While there was still in fighting between the factions, once flaring hostilities turned into a slow but rapidly growing trust and then into steadfast allies, especially between Demacia and Azaroth.

With the looming threat of the Darklings growing ever more imminent, the provinces construed a plan that would not only effectively combat the murderous race but allow their forces to concentrate on where they were needed the most. This is what led to the creation of guilds. Some speculate whether or not this idea was a good one the reason being that some of the guilds operate with their own agenda and to further their own ends. Not all however. There are plenty that work toward fighting and eventually wiping out the Darkling threat for good. One guild in particular, led by a young Azuma shinobi and his best friend, a worgen from the Greymane lineage, would be a few out of the many guilds to carry out such a task. Unknown to the two and their friends within the guild, they'd have a massive part to play in the events that were to unfold in Runeterra and Earth as a whole.

With this, begins the tale of the 9 Deadly Legends!
