NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE: THIS IS EXTREMELY INCOMPLETE. ALL THAT I INTEND TO SHOW ARE THE LORE, SHADOW ISLE QUOTES, BASE STATS AND PASSIVE. EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. So, yeah.

 LORE:

 The Shadow Isles, a realm of beautiful chaos, madness, plague, darkness and death. To maintain order in anarchy, a power was needed to lead the inhabitants of the Isles. And that leader was none other than Derdahm, The Shadow Herald, a demonic force that even the bowels of the Isles feared. Able to walk to any region of the Isles without any sort of care, he proved his worth by effortlessly slaughtering the monsters and nightmares who called the Shadow Isles home. One by one, his wicked blade, Ira Mortis, severed the limbs of the beasts and the tip of the blade tasted the hot blood of the frantically beating hearts of the dying. Their howls of pain echoed in the black forests of the Isles, sending chills down the decaying spines of the dead. Derdahm always kneeled before his victim who was painfully enjoying the last sweet breaths of life. His white fangs dug into flesh and he then absorbed their essence as he hungrily sucked the liquid of life. Every gulp of blood fed the blade as well as its unsettling green glow pulsed within the intricate carvings of the blade and the hilt. It was as if Derdahm’s very heart was the sword itself. Only a short period of time passed before all of the walking dead and shadows proclaimed Derdahm as King of the Shadow Isles, a title he savored. His rule brought the Shadow Isles to the attention of the League and the denizens of Runeterra. With his reign, Derdahm was able to create a portal between realms with the powers of dark magic, much to the horror of the creatures of Runeterra. Time passed, lives were stolen to the Isles and many others even joined the Isles willingly. Creatures such as Mordekaiser, Hecarim and Evelynn, the quintessential monsters of the Isles and favorites of Derdahm, were born and soon entered the League for one purpose: the expose the might of the Isles and true glory of death. But, all things must come to an end and Derdahm was not immune to this. Many in the Shadow Isles had distaste for the Lord of Shadow and his methods of rule, condemned as harsh and leading the Shadow Isles nowhere. By an unknown faction his castle was overrun. The group, with the leader unknown, vanquished all of Derdahm’s soldiers and stormed his personal quarters. Derdahm was violently removed from power after slaughtering more than half of the traitors on his own. Derdahm managed to escape his captors and soon memories of his existence were slowly erased by the faction. The Shadow Isles never had a true ruler after the reign of Derdahm and it was thought that chaos would be the only ruling force in the Isles. And to this day, no one knows the mastermind behind the overthrow, although it has been rumored that only those close to Derdahm could have been responsible. All that ever remained of Derdahm was Ira Mortis, now titled as the Blade of the Ruined King. Eons passed but a resurgence of pure darkness has started to walk the earth of the Isles. The forests have become darker and deader, the eerie moon more menacing, the oceans giving a ghostly green glow, the carnivorous plants become wilder and the skies darker. The ruined king has returned from absence, his power stronger than ever, wielding a ghostly blade resembling his beloved sword and fueled by hatred and revenge against those who turned betrayed him and those who have stolen his love.
