As the cat-cub remarked on how someone had kidnapped her best friend, several of the pack members raised their heads and sniffed the air. Passively, Naafiri allowed the collective conscience to pick up the scents and feed them the information: Desert sand, decrepitated buildings, jackal fur...

Jackal fur!

The main body's eye widened and Naafiri's tail grew stiff. Its head yanked up and took in the environment where they had actually found the cat-cub for the first time. The long rolling dunes were disrupted by an ancient statue of blackened stone adorned with gold. It had been cut into the shape of a laying jackal with a narrow head, pointy ears and watchful, knowing eyes.

Nasus!

Naafiri pinned their ears down and growled with unabashed hatred as they inspected the statue, guarding what seemed to be a sealed ruin of some sort. They had heard rumours of a strange, magical travelling library, guarded by ghostlike creatures, shrouded in tattered robes and whisps of smoke, faces more mask than expression. Yet the one thing, these creatures had in common, was that they all bore the same jackal head as Nasus did. Curator of his library, which as the rumours claimed could travel underneath the sands.

Whatever the cat-cub had called her best friend, it must be something of great magical power and unfamiliarity for the Curator. Otherwise, Naafiri could not imagine why Nasus may have taken it. Nasus did everything to study the unfamiliarities of this world - except ever putting himself in harm's way. It was a flaw, Naafiri should have noticed a long time ago, but they didn't and it had cost them everything. Nasus would pay for this; the Darkin would make sure of it eventually.

The purrs of the cat-cub and her body rubbing against their leg helped Naafiri snap out of their memories. Looking down at Yuumi, the Darkin dune hound spoke: "You may call us Naafiri. We are sorry for what happened to your friend, but if we want to get them back, we cannot stay here right now. This place is guarded by a dangerous creature and his loyal followers. If they find us here, we shall be in serious trouble."

Their head lowered and their jaws opened again. "We are going to pick you up", Naafiri warned Yuumi, "Do not panic." The dune hound closed its jaws around the cat-cub's neck with incredible care and caution. With Yuumi dangling from their jaws by the scruff of her neck, Naafiri turned around and began to sprint away from the library. The pack mates' paws pounded beside them. The Darkin's pointy ears continued to twitch and swivel around as they harked for the approaching footfall of the Baccai - those, who had failed their Ascensions so many aeons ago and as atonement had sworn their allegiance to Nasus. It was the Baccai, who had found Naafiri first, and it was the Baccai, whom Nasus had sent out to hunt them down like a common dog.

They only stopped running after they were sure they had not been followed. Naafiri lowered their head and softly dropped Yuumi on a patch of land with a bit of grass. Above their heads, the wind rustled in the leaves of a tree. Nightfall had made the world black around them. Naafiri lay down next to Yuumi. She nudged the cat-cub towards her belly, where her nipples were still able to lactate milk. The Darkin guided Yuumi's head towards a tit, clearly expecting her to drink.

To be quite fair, Yuumi was not a totaly helpless cat, she had her own magic and knew how to fend for herself. But she was devasted with the kidnapping of her best friend so it did take a hot moment for her to be able to react to the pack of hounds that had surrounded her.

In fact, she was ready to summon her shield and use the timing to gain enough distance from the main hound when she suddently stoped the attack. What? The cheer confusion that action had sent her was enough to keep the feline still on the ground, completely paralised as the other seemed to decide that she was friend and not food in a spam of what? 5 seconds?

To have a canine be this friendly towards her was new territory but also have her being called a 'cub'? Mommy? What was that dog's deal anyway? Still, not being killed was honestly a good thing and even if her attention and guard were all the way up, maybe playing along would be good. And well, she was really good at winning over hearts with her cuteness! All one had to do was ask Master or Book .... right.

Yuumi allowed Naafiri to nuzzle on her, still not really reciprocating as she was clearly scared of still being considered food. While she knew she was guilty of playing with her own meals, the feline had no idea if hounds did the same. But this one seemed genuinely wanting to care for her so... maybe it was fine?

¨He... he kidnaped my best friend.¨ Yuumi admited, her tail curling up around her little body, almost as if she was trying to hug herself, ears moving down and sadness obvious to be seen and head in her voice and body language. She would hate to admit it, but she missed that pile of dusty pages a lot more than she expected. They were best friends and flying around without Book seemed almost like she was missing an important part of herself.

Ok, she could make an effort. This one thought she was a cub, what clearly told history, but maybe this meant she also had lost someone and needed a friend? The queen could understand that feeling all too well, if she were to be honest.

Slowly, she moved back on her feet approaching the main body of the pack and rubbing herself against the furr, purring loudly as if it was her way to say it was ok, she was there and could be unlikely allies.

¨What's your name? I'm Yuumi, and your furr is so soft and warm.¨She said, snuggling up and closing her eyes with content. She was, of course, still alert in case the dog decided to eat her but maybe if she played along.....

@shurima-demigod, continued from here

“Don’t you worry about anything, I think I know what to get my favorite liberian,” he said, still not saying the proper word for librarian. The Vastayan rummaged around in his pack and pulled out an old book. The leather covers were slightly worn, but in good condition, and the edges of the pages were wrinkled from time.

Rakan opened up to a random page in the book and flipped through it. “It’s a book of Vastayan legends. I wasn’t sure if you had one in your huge collection, but I figured it would be a nice lil addition!”

Meeting a (demi)god

Shurima, an empire that once existed and fell in an ancient times. Until it’s Emperor returned: Azir. A legendary empire that holds many secrets and treasures. The secret attracted the huntress’ attention. She held no affection for material objects, aside her weapons. But secrets and information thought long lost, that was a different case. Who knows what she could learn from such an ancient society?

The sun had risen high, when the raven-haired Demacian left the vessel she took at Nashramae. The bustling trading port on the North side of the continent seemed a good starting point. Not knowing what to expect, Shauna had taken preparations to garb herself in suitable clothing against both the weather and to avoid drawing unnecessary attention. Although her favoured weapon would most likely would cause that nonetheless.

Not one to waste time, the noblewoman attempted to inquire as much information. However, she was met with distrust. Not surprising with the Noxian expansion being all over the Northern and Eastern coastline of the continent.

Eventually she acquired the whispers of a rumoured about the ancients of the Empire. Ascended, they called them. Immortal beings, nigh-gods, that roam the desert and sometimes towns. If anyone should be able to aid her, they could. IF she could find them.

Unfortunately, no one knew if the rumours were true. And if so, where one could find these ‘Ascended’. That would not stop the Night Hunter from trying to gather even the tiniest of clues.

Hours were spent asking for even a sliver of information. Tired, she decided to recollect her thoughts and plan her next move, in a dark corner of an inn. Habits died hard, even in foreign places that most likely never heard of her.

Nasus, the Curator of the Sands

HD version here!

Here it is! This is actually the last gif I made, but I decided to post it before the others because I think it’s much cuter.

Notice the borders are just plain black, something I don’t really like doing but neither was I willing to find the right palettes to change it, so deal with it lmao.

This whole gif was actually born from a random thought I had some days ago.

I was like:”Duh, would be cool if I managed to somehow do a gif of someone/thing while he’s transforming!” and well, since I played a lot of League of Legends Nasus randomly came to my mind.

Here he is, the Curator of the Sands, Nasus, while using his ultimate move and thus getting the bigger doggo ever!

I hope y’all like this, I really tried my best with the flames and that purple-ish aura thingy. Like and reblog if you find this cute and lemme wish you a happy new year!

5e Nasus, the Curator of the Sands build (League of Legends)

(Artwork by Riot Games)

(Joke about stacks goes here.)

I wrote that in as a placeholder but genuinely that was about as good as I’m going to get with the stacking jokes for Nasus.

GOALS

More souls for the pyre - We’re going to have to hit really hard with stacks, stacks, and more stacks.

Your spirit is hollow - You’ll need some Ascendant power to keep you healthy while your foes wither and die.

The sky is naught but dying stars - The ascendant tower over mortals as if they were gods. Going to need to be a very big doggie.

RACE

When making a furry go for Shifter. All Shifters have Darkvision and the Shifting ability to turn into a more bestial form, gaining temporary hitpoints equal to their level plus their constitution modifier.

And to play a more tanky Shifter go for Beasthide: you gain proficiency in the Athletics skill, a +2 to Constitution and a +1 to Strength, and when you shift you gain an extra d6 of temporary hitpoints and a +1 to your armor class!

ABILITY SCORES

15; STRENGTH - The ascended have the strength of gods with a lot of upper body strength to bonk enemies with a big stick.

14; CHARISMA - You have a level of gruff charm to you but are far more skilled at being fierce. Also Charisma is a requirement to multiclass.

13; INTELLIGENCE - You were a skilled scholar and while I’d like this to be higher to start out intellect is nothing if you don’t develop it.

12; CONSTITUTION - Nasus is a tank so you’ll need to be able to take a hit.

10; WISDOM - Becoming ascended leads to you being rather cold and aloof, but you’re still knowledgeable enough to take care of a horse.

8; DEXTERITY - Nasus is a very slow boy whose ultimate specifically exists to make him an easier target.

BACKGROUND

Nasus was many things before becoming ascended: military tactician, skilled soldier, right-hand man to Azir. But above all Nasus was a scholar, and the Sage background will give us the intellect we’ll need with proficiency in Arcana and History along with two languages of your choice.

Your Researcher background feature will allow you to recall exactly what book, tome, or manuscript you read that contains information you might need in the moment. This of course doesn’t mean that you have it on you: just that you know where to find the information.

(Artwork by Riot Games)

THE BUILD

LEVEL 1 - PALADIN 1

Starting off the stacks with Paladin. Just about any of the Paladin skills make sense for you bar Persuasion, but I personally opted for Religion and Insight to round out your intellect. Regardless Paladins get some life “steal” with Lay on Hands, giving them a pool of healing to use when touching an ally or themselves. You can choose to heal for any amount from the pool, or use 5 points to cure a disease or neutralize a poison. You have an amount of Lay on Hands points equal to your Paladin level times 5, and regain all expended points on a Long Rest. You can also spend an action to use Divine Sense and detect any celestials, fiends, or undead within 60 feet of you that are not behind total cover. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier plus one, and regain all expended uses on a Long Rest as well.

LEVEL 2 - PALADIN 2

Level 2 Paladins get their Fighting Style and it’s up to you: if you want more AC choose Defense. If you want harder hits choose Great Weapon Fighting, because I’d suggest wielding a melee weapon with reach like a Halberd. Because Nasus does use a Halberd.

You also get access to Spellcasting: you can prepare a number of spells equal to your Charisma modifier plus half your Paladin level (so 3 currently.) To strike harder with your stacks grab Divine Favor, and to strike more precisely cast Bless instead on both you and your allies. And to stop getting hit cast Shield of Faith for some more AC.

LEVEL 3 - PALADIN 3

Third level Paladins can choose their Sacred Oath and to protect Azir you need a bit of vengeance. The Oath of Vengeance will give you two Channel Divinity options: Abjure Enemy will let you Wither an enemy, filling them with fear and making them unable to move. For a more offensive Wither Vow of Enmity will grant you advantage on all attack rolls against the targeted enemy for 1 minute or until one of you fall unconscious.

You also get the Bane and Hunter’s Mark spells innately as a Vengeance Paladin, allowing you to further cut through foes with more stacks. And you get Divine Health, making you immune to disease because you can’t stop farming for a sick day.

LEVEL 4 - FIGHTER 1

Now that we’ve properly ascended it’s time to learn how to fight for our lord Azir. First level Paladins can choose another Fighting Style so pick whatever you didn’t take from level 2 of Paladin. (Again either Defense or Great Weapon Fighting.) You also get Second Wind to heal for a d10 plus your Fighter level as a bonus action, furthering your life not-quite-steal. Second Wind comes back on a short rest, so use some ascended healing whenever you’re hurting.

LEVEL 5 - FIGHTER 2

Second level Fighters get Action Surge, letting them take one additional action per short rest.

LEVEL 6 - FIGHTER 3

Third level Fighters get to choose their Martial Archetype and to ascend to the height of giants go for the Rune Knight. You learn how to use Smith’s Tools and can speak Giant. You also get access to Rune Magic: whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch a weapon, suit of armor, or a shield to inscribe a rune onto it. An object can only have one rune at a time, and you can inscribe a number of runes equal to the number you know. Your rune remains on an object until you finish a long rest, and an object can bear only one of your runes. There are several different runes and you can choose two of them at 3rd level:

For knowledge of ages the Uvar (Storm Rune) passively gives you Advantage on Arcana checks and the inability to be surprised. Additionally you can invoke the rune as a bonus action for 1 minute or until you’re incapacitated. Until the state ends, when you or another creature you can see within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll, a saving throw, or an ability check, you can use your reaction to cause the roll to have advantage or disadvantage.

To be calm and stoic the Ise (Frost Rune) passively gives you advantage on Animal Handling and Intimidation checks. You can also invoke the rune to increase your Strength score by 2 for 10 minutes. During this time your Strength can go over 20, but not over 30.

All your runes regain their uses on a short or long rest. But most importantly to invoke the Fury of the Sands you can activate Giant’s Might. Using your Bonus Action you grow to Large size, have advantage on Strength checks and saves, and do an extra d6 of damage on hit. You can use this feature twice, and regain all expended uses after finishing a Long Rest.

Ise (Frost Rune)(Artwork by Riot Games)

LEVEL 7 - FIGHTER 4

4th level Fighters get an Ability Score Improvement so I’d suggest improving your Strength for more stacked strikes.

LEVEL 8 - FIGHTER 5

5th level Fighters get an Extra Attack, letting them attack twice instead of once with the Attack action. Even if your Siphoning Strike has a limited cool-down more attack speed never hurt. Trinity Force is a good power spike for most brawlers!

LEVEL 9 - WIZARD 1

Sure you’ve honed your fighting abilities, but have you honed your intellect? First level Wizards can learn 3 cantrips and 4 spells:

CANTRIPS

For a Wither that does a bit of damage Ray of Frost will slow an enemy down and do Cold damage.

To resolve diplomatic problems quick and dirty grab Friends: remember that the spell affects all Charisma checks and that includes Intimidation! Who cares if they hate you when you scared them into working for you?

To open up team chat grab Message to, well, send messages!

SPELLS

To protect yourself from physical damage Shield will let you increase your AC by 5 as a reaction.

For an Adaptive Helm grab Absorb Elements to resist an elemental attack and return the damage to your foe!

If Azir is sending you out to do more political missions Comprehend Languages may be useful, especially considering that it’s a Ritual.

And if you find any lost treasures in the sand it would be good to Identify it!

You also get Arcane Recovery, letting you recover a number of Siphoning Stri-I mean Spell Slots back on a Short Rest. You can recover a total number of spells equal to half your Wizard level (rounded up.) The level of the spell slot is equal to the total number of Arcane Recovery points it would require to restore. So for example as a 4th level Wizard you can recover a second level slot or two first level slots.

LEVEL 10 - WIZARD 2

Wizards choose their subclass (or Arcane Tradition as it’s properly called) at second level, and we’ll be choosing the School of Transmutation for a number of reasons. Along with being a Transmutation Savant who doesn’t have to spend as long learning Transmutation spells you are capable of Minor Alchemy. You can touch one object composed entirely of wood, stone, iron, copper, or silver into a different material listed. For every 10 minutes that you touch the object you can transform another 5 cubic feet, and all your transformations revert after an hour. The way I see it your Siphoning Strikes are essentially just turning your enemy’s iron armor into silver to sell?

You can also add two more Wizard spells to your spellbook: to Wither your enemies away grab Ray of Sickness. If you want to buy a Little Legend however grab Find Familiar to summon a Pengu. Basically there aren’t many first level spells I actually want to grab but I’m forced to do so.

LEVEL 11 - WIZARD 3

Third level Wizards can learn second level spells and it’s TIME TO GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND! Enlarge / Reduce will let you make yourself one size larger! Technically it won’t affect you if you cast it before using Giant’s Might, but if you use it after Giant’s Might you can become Huge size! Yeah you can cast it on other people and objects and all it does is make the target add or subtract a d4 to their damage (based on if you grew or shrunk them) but are you seriously telling me you don’t want to be Huge size?

For your other spell I dunno. Web will Wither a whole bunch of enemies in an AoE, making it harder for them to move. And you can light the Web with Spirit Fire (read: actual fire) to burn them!

LEVEL 12 - WIZARD 4

4th level Wizards get an Ability Score Improvement and seeing as we’re investing in Wizard currently increase your Intelligence by grabbing the Resilient feat for Intelligence. Nasus has a sharp mind as well as a sharp halberd.

You can also learn another two spells along with a cantrip! For your cantrip Mold Earth will let you shift the sands to you whim. (Within reason. You can’t make soldiers out of them.) For your leveled spells Magic Weapon will let you get some stacks on a non-magical weapon to make it a +1, and Ray of Enfeeblement will let you Wither an enemy so that their Strength-based attacks do half damage.

LEVEL 13 - WIZARD 5

5th level Wizards get access to third level spells. Do you want to both Wither your enemies and reduce their AC with Spirit Fire? Well look no further than Slow which reduces an enemy’s AC, their ability to attack, and ability to defend themselves!

Meanwhile if you want some actual lifesteal look no further than Vampiric Touch. For the spell’s duration you can make melee spell attacks to literally steal life from your foes! Simple!

LEVEL 14 - WIZARD 6

6th level Transmutation Wizards can spend 8 hours to craft a Transmuter’s Stone. When you craft the stone you can choose a benefit such as:

60 feet of Darkvision

Plus 10 to movement speed

Proficiency in Constitution saving throws

Resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage (your choice whenever you choose this benefit)

If you cast a Transmutation spell of first level or higher you can change the effect of the stone. You can benefit from the stone yourself or give it to an ally, just in case you didn’t stack enough during laning phase. My recommendation? Keep it on CON saves unless you need elemental resistance, as 10 feet of movement will rarely be worth it and you already have Darkvision so that isn’t an option.

You can also add another two spells to your list: to further scorch the earth grab Erupting Earth to make it harder for foes to walk across the area that you marked with Spirit Fire. And for your last spell I recommend going back to second level for good ol’ Flash: Misty Step ahoy!

(Artwork by Riot Games)

LEVEL 15 - FIGHTER 6

Straight down Fighter now: 6th level Fighters get another Ability Score Increase so it’s time to finish stacking your Strength for maximum stacked smacks.

LEVEL 16 - FIGHTER 7

7th level Rune Knights get Defensive Runes: when another creature within 60 feet of you is hit by an attack you can use your reaction to grant a bonus to the creature’s AC against that attack. The bonus equals your Intelligence modifier plus one. This is a good way to tank for your ADC but remember that you only get one reaction per turn.

You also get another Rune Magic option and for insight of ages the Stein (Stone Rune) gives you advantage on Insight checks and the ability to hit a Sleepy Trouble Bubble on an enemy of choice once per short or long rest.

LEVEL 17 - FIGHTER 8

Hey 8th level another Ability Score Increase: seeing as your Strength is maxed out invest in Intelligence instead for better spells and Rune Magic.

LEVEL 18 - FIGHTER 9

9th level Fighters get Indomitable, letting them reroll a failed saving throw once per long rest. You have good saving throws in just about everything except for Dexterity so this should help you just about anywhere.

LEVEL 19 - FIGHTER 10

10th level Rune Knights get Great Stature. Along with a 3d4 inch increase to your character’s height your Giant’s Might feature now makes you do an extra d8 damage per hit instead of an extra d6.

You also get your final Rune Magic option and you may as well stack armor with the Haug (Hill Rune), which grants you advantage against poisons, resistance to poison damage, and can be activated to give you resistance to Slashing, Piercing, and Bludgeoning damage for 1 minute.

LEVEL 20 - FIGHTER 11

Our capstone is the 11th level of Fighter for another Extra Attack, allowing you to attack 3 times with an attack action. This means three hits empowered by Giant’s Might, three chances to Smite, and that multiplies to six with Action Surge!

FINAL BUILD

PROS

Some spirits are fated to burn - You can apply some strong damage buffs to your weapons fairly inexpensively. Your weapon won’t do much but you can get +2 to your Strength with a short rest, an extra d8 to your damage twice per long rest, plenty of low level damage buffs, and can use all your spell slots to smite as you wish.

Eternity is beyond your reach - You are incredibly tanky despite not investing much into tank stats. Above-average health, Second Wind, a huge stack of Temporary Hitpoints in your pocket, the ability to cut all incoming damage in half, and the ability to get 20 AC by Shifting with Platemail on. All while still doing good damage.

For centuries, I have watched - You are also a surprisingly good team player, with Defensive Runes to protect your allies and tons of utility spells like Bless, Shield of Faith, Erupting Earth, Slow, and of course your Transmuter’s Stone.

CONS

There is such potential in one mortal life - A three way multiclass means that some stats will have to be dropped. Both your spellcasting abilities are subpar, and while I did stick to buffs for the most part spells like Slow, Erupting Earth, and Vampiric Touch will all suffer somewhat compared to whacking enemies with your staff.

Your soul will be measured - You know what else is subpar? Your saving throws. Proficiency saves your low Wisdom but your Constitution saves and especially your Dexterity are really underwhelming. Low CON means that concentration will be dropped frequently.

Ambition is a mirage - Even with proficiency and advantage on certain checks you won’t be providing much utility out of combat.

But your role of advisor has blown away in the sands; your new role is that of a warrior. Smite your foes with the strength of the gods and watch them crumble to dust. You’re a big boy and they are beneath you. A very big, very good boy.

Azir the Exile – “I forgive you”

Azir falls to his knees, neck made heavy by his constriction. The pale moonlight illuminates Nasus’ pensive face, shrouded by a wide cloak, and his gentle hands holding him by the sides, wise eyes running down and up his cruel mask.

-Shh, don’t scream. I’m here. We’ll go soon. Those two were with me. I’m sorry I frightened you, honey, but we needed an excuse. No one will look for you if they think…-

-Nasus.- Azir mutters. The metallic mask, he’s still wearing, has never felt greater on his small neck.

-Yes, baby bird. It’s me. I’m here, I’m right here. If I could have imagined… I’d have come soon, I…-

Having someone he holds so dear locked in the darkness for so long… no, he’d never let it happen. Not to Azir. Not to Renekton. Not to anyone he loves.

But Azir interrupts his train of thoughts by diving deep into his belly, shuddering in tears and heaving in sobs. He’s never cried this much. Not even at his banishment.

-I’m sorry, Nasus. I’m so so so sorry… hic. I-I-I didn’t mean it. I’ll be good. I’ll never be ungrateful again. I love you so much and I don’t want to disappoint you. I love you Nasus. hic.-

-Azir…- the curator looks around the dunes. There’s silence, an unsettling one. They may be looking for them. And this sound, this crying…

He’s heard it many a-times in the past. When Azir got caned, constantly, until his small hands bled onto the floor. When his father and mother called him a failure, and left him behind when it came to planning his future – and he never walked there to take him away for fear of… what, even?

-It’s all my… hic. My fault.- Azir wails. -I’ve been stupid, and selfish. I-I always d-do that. I’ll be good, I’ll clean the house, I’ll… never ask for anything. I… I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.-

-I know, baby bird. And you want to know a thing?-

Nasus grabs a pair of pliers from his belt and crunches the chain that keep the mask in place. He slowly removes it from Azir’s face. He puts it back in the cart, for it may represent evidence they’ve been there – and Azir’s skin is scabbed, dusted, dry as the sand itself.

He cradles Azir in his arms and kisses the tip of his matted, dusty locs.

He’s never seen eyes so sweet.

-I forgive you.-

14. For one muse (Diana) to get killed while protecting the other (Aatrox and other Darkin battle maybe?)

protective prompts

However insane Xerath was, he was still smarter than the average leader. Perhaps that just made him more ruthless, unafraid of playing dirty.

He should have seen that Xerath would make a target out of more than just the Curator.

It was a simple skirmish at first, an encounter between Nasus’ scouts and Xerath’s mages. The scouts weren’t the best for this, but Nasus was more than equipped to fight mages. It was mostly one sided, as the Curator dominated the battle field.

When Diana had appeared, he wondered if he was imagining it. Last he checked, she was staying in the city. He didn’t control where she goes, but he couldn’t remember if she said she was leaving or not. When she appeared, he gave her the briefest of smiles before continuing the fight.

Things went well. The mages were taken care of. He straightened, glancing around for Diana.

The air crackled and something slammed into him, knocking him over as the air sizzled and flashed with magic.

Dazed, he pushed himself off the sand, taking a moment to orient himself.

And he first noticed Diana face down in the sand.

For the first time in a long time, fear gripped him.

He was up instantly, rushing to her side and flipping her over. The smell hit him first, that of burnt flesh. Her armor appeared to have taken the majority of it, but there was a hole in her. He didn’t have time to asset the rest of the damage, another bolt of magic striking near him.

He moved her body, shaking off the foreboding as best as he could, and ordered his scouts to tend to her. He turned back towards the threat, anger filling his vision.

Xerath took far too much from him. His home, his leader, his family, his lover... If he took her too...

Nasus would raise hell to kill that Magus. And when that was done, he’d leave the world to itself. He’s had enough loss in this lifetime. It was time for the next one.

Top 5 Thursday: VS Candidates

By Helmight

With the VS event’s return this year in the form of Garen vs. Darius, I think it’s highly likely that two champions will take up the mantle of Order and Chaos every year going forwards. Riot will have no shortage of choices thanks to the high amount of rivalries that exist in the lore, but as per usual, some of these are more suited for a VS event than others. Here’s my guess as to which champions will be blessed with a VS event in the future.

#5: Leona VS Diana

The day/night dichotomy these two have going on makes it almost TOO easy for Riot to use them in a VS event. Obviously Leona would be on the side of Order, probably resplendent in a new set of white armor, while Diana picks up the side of Chaos with black armor. Better yet, the two champions have a rivalry together, which makes their inclusion in a VS event even better.

They’re pretty low-hanging fruit as far as VS candidates go, so they won’t get higher than fifth. However, I’d definitely love to see them get selected for a future year.

#4: Nasus VS Renekton

Chaos and Order are pretty easily represented in Nasus and Renekton. The Curator of the Sands is a librarian-warrior who places an emphasis on tactics, while the Butcher of the Sands is a slavering beast who loves nothing more than chopping up his foes. They’d make for a perfect dynamic for a VS event - especially when you consider they both have ults that raise them to godlike proportions. A God-King Nasus and God-King Renekton clashing would be a sight to see, and that alone propels them onto the list.

#3: Kha’Zix VS Rengar

This is a bit of a weird one, but hear me out. First, Kha and Rengar have one of the best-known rivalries in LoL and even have an in-game easter egg together, which makes them a good choice for a VS event. On top of that, the themeing for a VS event starring these two could be awesome. Rengar could perhaps be reimagined as a noble white-armored hunter who slays the beasts of Chaos to protect his people, while Kha’Zix could be a black-shelled abomination that chaotically changes its body as it fights.

Sure, they don’t fit the traditional order versus chaos dichotomy, but there’s no denying that Rengar and Kha’Zix would make for an interesting VS event.

#2: Azir VS Xerath

There’s not a whole lot to say about these two other than that they’d be perfect for a VS event. Azir commanding legions of Order’s finest soldiers against the malevolent chaos magic of Xerath would be excellent - and better still, the conflict between the two in the main story isn’t entirely black-and-white. Xerath and Azir have both done pretty awful things to each other, which makes them equally sympathetic when it comes to an event.

However, there’s one pair that outstrips these two when it comes to VS event candidacy.

#1: Kayle VS Morgana

The fundamental conflict between these two champions is basically order vs. chaos as is, which makes them ideal candidates for a future VS event. Riot wouldn’t have to worry so much about the theming as a result, allowing them to focus all of their efforts on creating a pair of kickass skins for our lovely angelic warriors.

Obviously this would have to wait until after Morgana and Kayle have seen a visual update, but they’re too perfect to not eventually show up for the yearly VS event. For that reason - and for the badass skins they’d likely get - Kayle and Morgana take the top spot.

Let me know which champion pairs you’d like to see in a VS event down in the comments, and be sure to like and reblog this post if you enjoyed it!
