Hi All,

I've had the concept of writing a story for the world of League of Legends for ages as I'm a big fan of the game and think there is so much to be done with a variety of characters. However I wanted to take this rich lore and completely remove the 'summoners' concept. This is mainly because character deaths won't mean anything if they can just respawn and it just allows to me to have more creative freedom. My other intention as I write this story is to not alienate the people who don't play the game by adding a little more to what is mainly 2D characters and making them more relatable/understandable to people who don't know them through the game.

This is much like what is happening in the Marvel Comic Universe, where the story allows people who haven't read the background info or know the lore to still be interested and fanboys to squeal in delight when their favourite character appears.

Speaking of fanboys yes I will be editing some character Lore and events that have happened just to fit with my storyline as well as changing how powerful different champions are and slightly changing abilities.

I've planned quite far ahead of where the stories are going to go and once again have adopted an MCU style with having a phase like structure to the stories. I'm really excited to be doing this and feel free to send me feedback. Also happy to hear suggestions of where to take the story :)

Also had a cool idea of posting links to music to listen too while reading just to give you all a more immersive experience so will start doing that chapter 2 maybe ?

I do not own the rights to any of the characters or am I affiliated with League Of Legends.

Book 1

The Great War: Fall of a King.

Chapter 1:

"They're at the gates!"

The screams of Demacian soldiers peppered the battlefield. Noxus had been knocking at the doors of Demacia for sometime now. The odd rural town here, a sabotaged barrack in a minor city but a full scale attack on the Capital was unheard of. Yet here Demacian soldiers on the wall fell with arrows punctuating their corpses. Their golden and pristine armour bloodied and pierced flags left in tatters and a general demoralisation among the troops. The high turrets of the City laced with gold traces illuminated the background as the sun rose higher into the sky. In the distance, the palace over looked the oncoming devastation of the opposing army. Noxus attacked at the break of dawn with a surprise attack. Whatever was on the other side of the wall was strong enough to completely destroy the forward guard in one fell swoop before message could even be sent to the main city. No body was prepared. Families caught in sleep. Children, women the sick and elderly were all casualties of this battle already.

Noxus and Demacia were two great Empires that spanned the central region of Valoran. Demacia, a people based around nobility and fortitude are the justicars of Valoran, seeking out evil and crushing it under the mighty hammer of justice. Many legends had arisen from the great walls currently being bombarded with soldiers, spears and minor sorcery. Vayne, one of Demacians greatest hero's, the bane and scourge of the undead was heralded for her bravery and fighting skills. But since her departure to the Shadow Isles no new hero of Demacia has come forward. The current King, Jarvan III has taken a more peaceful approach to his ruling which has allowed the army of Noxus to gain in strength. Countless attacks gone ignored have brought tension among the elders of Demacia, who questioned his decisions. Only he and his trusted assistant Grelof believed that a counter attacks would be 'counter productive'.

Noxus were a ruthless and cutthroat empire. Rapid expansion and war were the only things on the agenda of it's mysterious leader. All men are drafted into fight in the army under the two legendary brother generals, Darius and Draven. Arrogant, terrifying, they posses incredible strength and fighting skills that are matched by none. They lead the armies into battle and have failed to lose yet. This is what stood against Demacia, this is what would start the last Great War.

Arrows rained down on the city watch as civilians were quickly escorted further into the city into safe houses and underground shelters. Terrified panicked shouts were heard from the guards on the top watchtower as a large thump was heard on the main gate.

"All men! Hold position!" Shouted a general as he positioned soldiers to meet whatever was on the other side of that gate. A large roar came from behind the gate which belonged to no human as the battlefield fell silent. The gate shuddered and splintered as another thump was heard. Silence again. Only the crack of broken stained glass from grand temples (that had been the collateral damage of the rain of arrows) could be heard along with the eerie moaning of the wounded. The silence seemed to be held for longer and the Demacian soldiers stood, sweat dripping down them. Then, just as the unbearable silence almost drove some of the soldiers insane a otherworldly scream was heard as the gate exploded and a large grey figure ran through the wreckage, leaving large splinters of wood and metal slicing through the lucky soldiers, mutilating them in seconds. The unlucky ones, who survived this had to see a 6"9 monstrosity charging towards them. With one cleave of it's might axe the monster had decimated all of the soldiers, leaving limbs and other body parts scattered around the plaza which the main gate led too. Only the general stood, quaking fear as the beast approached. It's red eyes glowed with a crazed anger and hunger. Bits of metal jutted out from it's skin and half of it's head was covered in metal plating it's entire bottom left was made of a dark and Reuter metal. This creature had clearly been experimented on many times, it was an abomination , a juggernaught. It walked up to the General laughing as Noxus soldiers poured into the city with Battleaxes aloft

"I'm hungry , so so hungry!" Exclaimed the beast towards the general, as he raised his giant axe above his head. As the axe fell and sliced the general in half a small chuckle came over the creature.

"Sion is so hungry..." He stared out to the city, and a crooked, rusted smile formed upon his face.
