What creates the conditions for revolution? Usually, an event has occurred or policy has been enacted that goes beyond what’s bearable and into a fractured territory where compromise is no longer possible. It’s at this point society can no longer be meaningfully reformed through voting or legislation; the new world will only emerge from the ashes of the old.
In Runeterra, that is. Definitely just in Runeterra, nowhere else.
The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story, developed by Digital Sun (creators of Moonlighter) and published by Riot Forge, Riot Games’ worldbuilding-centric publishing wing, is the origin story of Sylas the Unshackled, a League of Legends melee burst/skirmisher champion added in early 2019. Depending on who in the player base you ask, Sylas is either an especially edgy anti-hero or a straight-up villain, a revolutionary figure or a murderer—there doesn’t really seem to be any in-between. The Mageseeker aims to set the record straight.
