Highly Acclaimed League of Legends Released New Champion – Vladimir

Riot Games, the developer and publisher of the highly acclaimed PC game League of Legends, has just released details about its newest champion, Vladimir.

There is a temple hidden in the mountains where the secrets of an ancient and terrifying sorcery are kept. In his youth, Vladimir trekked through these mountains during his flight from Noxus. A day earlier, he had brutally murdered two boys his age, for no better reason than to enjoy the intoxicating scarlet bloom that surged forth. Inside the temple, he found an aging monk who recognized the boy’s sinister craving and taught Vladimir how to manipulate and control the fluid of life. When it came time for Vladimir to learn the final lesson, during the ritual, every drop of the monk’s blood was drawn from his body and fused with Vladimir’s, imbuing him with his master’s magical essence, and that of every hemomancer before him. Left alone and suddenly without purpose, Vladimir resolved to return to Noxus, demanding enrollment in the League to prove the supremacy of his craft.

Lore:

There is a temple hidden in the mountains between Noxus and the Tempest Flats, where the secrets of an ancient and terrifying sorcery are kept. The area surrounding the temple is littered with the exsanguinated corpses of those who have mistakenly wandered too close. These served only to pique the curiosity of Vladimir, when – in his youth – he trekked through these mountains during his flight from Noxus. A day earlier, the teenaged Vladimir had brutally murdered two boys his age, for no better reason than to enjoy the intoxicating scarlet bloom that surged forth. He realized immediately that he would never be able to suppress his murderous desires, and if he remained in Noxus, his foul deeds were sure to catch up with him. Without hesitation, he abandoned the city-state, and journeyed south.
