User blog comment:ND999/Lore of LoL - Blast from the past: Doran/@comment-5588011-20151226162024/@comment-3110123-20151227105001

I like the idea of making him a mythic hero (although Aulë was an Ainur, a primordial spirit, I still see your point). I also really like the idea of having Doran acting as the builder of the Towers, since the Towers in LoL are ancient relics left behind by the Protectorate and the Magelords it would really solidify his role as a "legendary" being (the two nations being the oldest in Valoran's recorded history). In fact, Doran could go along the lines of Braum's story, since our moustache-hero lived for a very long time (seeing as how the grandmother in his background story says she heard stories about him when she was a little girl) and still remains as strong and youthful as he ever was. Although it is speculated that Braum got his longevity due to being an Iceborn, that doesn't mean we can't make Doran into an "ageless icon". Thank you for the input.
