Mount Targon

Mount Targon is a mountain found near the center of the Valoran continent.

Lore
Mount Targon can be seen all across Valoran. Many believe the mountain's peak may possibly be the highest point on Runeterra.

The Rakkor Tribe
Far above the clouds on Mount Targon resides a stalwart tribe of people known as the Rakkor who still revere combat and war as ultimate artforms. They live and breath only for war. Each member of the tribe is bred to be a disciplined and vicious warrior, preferring to battle soldiers of either the Noxian or Demacian armies only when outnumbered at least ten to one. Rakkor warriors are trained not only to be as lethal with their bare hands as the most capable martial artists, but also to fiercely wield the many relic-weapons of the tribe. Such treasures have been handed down from generation to generation, and have harnessed the mystical nature of Runeterra in their very cores. These relic-weapons are among the most dangerous in existence. The paragon of the Rakkor is the stone-faced warrior.

Each member of the Rakkor tribe must participate in the Rite of Kor, a ceremony in which two Rakkor teens battle to the death for the right to bear a relic-weapon. Should the participant refuse to fight, they are sentenced to death by the Rakkor leaders and are executed immediately. The current leader of the Kor is named Jagen.

The Solari Tribe
Rather than a pursuit of war, Mount Targon’s peak is reserved for a special group of Rakkor who answer to a “higher” calling. Members of this group, called the Solari, retire their mantles of war, choosing instead to devote their lives to reverence of the sun. According to legend, the Solari were formed by a warrior who could call the raw might of the sun down upon his enemies in combat. He claimed Mount Targon’s summit, the point on Valoran closest to the sun, for his solar devotion, a tradition which generations of Solari have preserved to this day. Though they maintain their reverence, no other warrior possessed the gifts of the founder – until.
