Lore
The term Targonian Aspect refers to all the humans magically altered and made Aspect host 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 coarse of events throughout the planets 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?

The Targonian Ascended are also virtually immune to pain and to some their lifespan is dramatically increased, however they are not immortal.

 * The Shuriman Ascended are more powerful and long-lived than Targonian Ascended. This is because these Ascended are forcefully granted more cosmic energy than a Celestial would willingly grant to their chosen Aspects host.
 * The extent of the relationship between Mount Targon Crest icon.png Mount Targon and Shurima Crest icon.png Shurima remains unclear, however it is known that the Targonians guided the Shurimans in the creation of the Sun Disc.
