Riot Games, the developer and publisher of
League of Legends, has just
released details about its newest champion, Pantheon the Artisan of War.
This stone-faced warrior is a paragon of his people, his very existence an
anthem of exultation to the art of combat. He cares not who he fights, cares
nothing for the pageantry or prestige of a League champion, but lives only for
the austere glory of battle. As long as Pantheon breathes, he thirsts for
another foe to vanquish.
Pantheon, the Artisan of War
Champion
Type: Fighter
Lore:
Far above the clouds on
Mount Gargantuan resides a
stalwart tribe of people known as the Stanpar who still revere combat and war as
penultimate art forms. They remember the Runewars of Runeterra and know that the
League of Legends can only repress the rising tides of violence for so long.
Each member of the tribe is bred to be a disciplined and vicious warrior,
preferring to battle soldiers of either the Noxian or Demacian armies only when
outnumbered at least ten to one. Stanpar warriors are trained not only to be as
lethal with their bare hands as the most capable martial artists, but also to
fiercely wield the many relic-weapons of the tribe. Such treasures have been
handed down from generation to generation, and have harnessed the mystical
nature of Runeterra in their very cores. These relic-weapons are among the most
dangerous in existence – and it comes as no surprise that they have found their
way to the League of Legends in the hands of Pantheon. This stone-faced warrior
is a paragon of his people, his very existence an anthem of exultation to the
art of combat. Pantheon found it insulting that the people of Valoran would
install an organization to replace war, complete with so-called champions,
without including the Stanpar. Gathering the blessings of his tribe and armed
with the relics of his ancestors, he has descended on the League to show the
world a true warrior. He cares not who he fights, cares nothing for the
pageantry or prestige of a League champion, but lives only for the austere glory
of battle. As long as Pantheon breathes, he thirsts for another foe to vanquish.
