Lore


The term Targonian Ascended refers to humans magically altered and made Aspect hosts of Targon Prime.

It is currently unknown how many of these Ascended ever came to be. Despite their small numbers, the Targonian Ascended remain among the most powerful beings on Runeterra, and have shaped the course of events throughout the planet's history.

The Aspects
The sky around Mount Targon shimmers with celestial bodies; the sun and moons, but also constellations, planets, fiery comets that streak the darkness, and auspicious arrangements of stars. The people living at the mountain's base believe these to be aspects of long-vanished stellar beings, creatures powerful and ancient on a scale beyond human comprehension. Some believe the power of these Aspects sometimes come down the mountain within the lambent bodies of those climbers found worthy. Such an occurrence is unimaginably rare and amazing tales of their exploits form around such individuals, who only ever appear once every few generations.

It is incredibly unusual for more than a single Aspect to walk the earth of Runeterra at any given time, so the tales of several Aspects manifesting has spread a pall of fear and uncertainty around the mountain. For what threat might be arising that requires the power of so many powerful beings to fight?

Physiology


Blessed with incredible strength, speed and a strong affinity for mastering forms of magic. The Targonian Ascended are also virtually immune to pain and some have their lifespan dramatically increased, however they are not immortal. These transcended beings can bleed, be crippled, or even killed with the right weapon, magic, or overwhelming force. After each Targonian Ascended dies, the Aspect finds a new host to take its place.

 * The Power of an aspect has a chance to be transferred to the children of a female host who was pregnant whilst becoming an Ascended. Both and  represent the Aspect of Justice, which was previously embodied by their mother.
