League of Legends’ new short story is a sequel to the Ruined King RPG

League of LegendsThere is more to a steampunk story than one. It’s a whole set of stories, starting with the Steampunk Class Divide in Arcane to Sylas’ revolution in Demacia. The Ruined King Viego and his chaos bringing to Bilgewater by the malevolent Black Mit is the most important touchstone. It covers multiple events. Leaguethe center of attention The Ruined King: A League of Legends Story. Riot Forge is a publisher of games in English. Leagueuniverse shared an excerpt on Wednesday, which continues the story of The Ruined Kings.

The Will of the Dead specifically addresses this issue Ruined King short story; it isn’t hosted on the Riot Universe page with other narrative content. This story is about Illaoi (a priestess for Nagakabouros Kraken), dealing with the aftermath. The Ruined Kings. Bilgewater is engulfed in civil war, and the recent Shadow Isles invasion hasn’t helped anything at all. In The Ruined Kings, Illaoi and the Miss Fortune, Pyke and Ahri team managed to defeat Viego the Ruined Kings…but not for good. Viego and his corrupting power are trapped in a mysterious amulet. A possible escape could cause even more trouble. Illaoi set out to locate Yorick, an undead monk that may be able help resolve this issue permanently.

It’s nice to see characters like Illaoi and especially Yorick get the spotlight. Yorick’s backstory is based all around Viego and the Shadow Isles, but he was weirdly absent throughout both The Ruined Kings League of Legends’ Sentinels of Light event, bar a couple of cameos. It’s also intriguing to see Riot continue to the Shadow Isles storyline through the lens of a short story on Riot Forge after an RPG, a standalone novel, and a marquee League event. It seems there’s still plenty of story to tell in this particular corner of the League of Legends sandbox.
