Noxus (Runeterra) pt2:

Runeterra/Valoran Noxus exploration Credits to: Riot games, Sixmorevodka Studio Alias(es) ´´Brutal Expansionist Empire``

´´Noxus is a powerful empire with a fearsome reputation. To those beyond its borders, Noxus is brutal, expansionist, and threatening, yet those who look beyond its warlike exterior see an unusually inclusive society, where the strengths and talents of its people are respected and cultivated. Its people were once a fierce reaver culture until they stormed the ancient city that now lies at the heart of their empire. Under threat from all sides, they aggressively took the fight to their enemies, pushing their borders outward with every passing year. This struggle for survival has made the Noxians a deeply proud people who value strength above all, though that strength can manifest by many different means. Anyone can rise to a position of power and respect within Noxus if they display the necessary aptitude, regardless of social standing, background, homeland, or wealth.``

Still thinking about the winged twins

To kick off the new year here is a low-effort meme that appeals to me and me only

They would actually have a lot to talk about methinks

A bunch of black and white sketches of League ladies that I posted on Twitter

Princess Kalista of Camavor, Spear of the Argent Throne

She deserved so much better than her fate.

For Leodia Week Day 5: Reunion

Gonna share my entries for Leodia Week here :D

This one was a combination of Day 1's "Acolyte" prompt and Day 2's "Ascension" prompt.

Screaming at the walls of fire They're closing in on me I hunger for the vertigo, the silver moonlight It's where I wanna be

Screaming at the walls of fire But I'm still running free In the silver moonlight I can breathe

Leona and Diana from League of Legends, based on a frame from this animated short (check out the original for a bittersweet sun and moon romance).

Anyways I was nervous as hell while working on this because oh my god physical affection embarrassing, but I am so proud of myself for finishing it. This is a big landmark for me, both in terms of technique and being comfortable with drawing what makes me happy.

Was bored, made the Targon crew into dragons using Flight Rising Scry

And two guests who are technically not Targon but still relevant

Based on in-game emotes I conclude that Vi is the girlfriend who knows all the sick moves while Cait actually can't dance to save her life.

Bonus:

Felt like drawing something cute today so have a happy little sun blob.

In case it's not obvious I'm buried deep in League lore after Arcane. Might do a matching moon gif later hehe

Akali has a tiny manta ray and she has friends she can trust. I am speechless and so happy.

Star Guardian 2022 Event Teaser! ✨

For @asathorin who enabled my vision of Braum as a star guardian ☆~☆

Ascension to Mt Targon (:

Can't have the sun without the moon, so here's the lass <:

(Contemplation, Search for Truth, Loneliness, Isolation)

Girl is not beating the Emperor allegations (⁠ั･⁠﹏⁠ั･⁠ ⁠)

(Authority, structure, control, tyranny, rigidness)

I am not immune to sun/moon star crossed doomed lovers <:

Hey ho I don't play league but I do play WR and LoR and I have read some of the lore so here goes:

The celestials associated with Targon are human hosts of the Aspects which are powerful beings from the celestial realm. The Aspects choose human hosts to give some of their powers to and the hosts (such as Leona, Diana, Zoe, Taric, Pantheon as well but he's different) enforce the Aspects' will on Runeterra. I don't think we know why the Aspects are so interested in Runeterra, but we do know they are against the Void. This page is great for more info.

Other celestial beings include Aurelion Sol, the creator of planets and galaxies but were tricked by the Targonians into wearing a restrictive crown and is now sealing Void rifts under their control/command; Bard, a mystical entity who kind of steps in when they are needed in extreme situations to prevent Runeterra falling into chaos; Soraka, once a celestial being filled with so much compassion she gave up her immortality in order to help the people of Runeterra; and some more.

I do believe that other than the Aspects and other celestial beings, everyone else is either of the Void or native to Runeterra.

For example, the Watchers are powerful entities who have existed since forever, and they look to destroy Runeterra for waking them from their eternal sleep by creating void rifts and learning more about Runeterra so they can either unleash armies of Void monsters to destroy everything or if possible to physically show up and do it themselves. Basically, they are the Void.

The Freljordian demi-gods include Ornn, Volibear and Anivia and more, and they are native to Runeterra. I'm not entirely sure what they are (oop) but they do have immense power far higher than most if not all mortals.

Janna is a wind goddess native to Runeterra whose strength depends on her followers. She was originally in Shurima but after she was no longer needed she went to Zaun, where the people prayed to her much more often in hopes of warding off the dangerous chemical fumes.

Nagakabourous is again native to Runeterra and is the god which Illaoi serves. I don't know much else as the lore surrounding them has changed quite a bit and I'm kinda confused :/

Even Kindred, who is pretty much the personification of death, is native to Runeterra (I think?).

Kayle and Morgana are the daughters of Mihira, Aspect host of Justice. Due to this they were born with powerful magic but they, like the other Aspect hosts, are native to Runeterra (only the Aspects themselves aren't).

Don't know if these really count but the Ascended are humans given celestial magic by the Sun Disc. The Darkin are Ascended who became corrupted by the Void. Thus these are all native to Runeterra.

Hope this helps, please correct me if I'm wrong or ask any more questions :)

Here is a question for all the League of legends lovers out there. Especially the ones who read the lore.

What separates the celestials from all the other gods worshipped on Runeterra?

I know that the celestials are littarly what the name implies, celestial gods representing different aspects, like war, twilight, etc.

But what about the other gods? Are they celestials too, or are they gods/godlike beings who are purely native to Runeterra?

I know that this might sound like a stupid question, but I am genuinely curious.
