User blog:Asfidyll/Thaeris, the Aurora's Protector

Thaeris, the Aurora's Protector is a custom champion in League of Legends.

Thaeris is a melee tank, fighter and support. He thrives on being able to out-duel his opponents, becoming stronger and stronger as the fight goes on. Equipped with a powerful engage and disengage, he truly shines in a teamfight, where he can even sacrifice himself for the sake of his team. His powerful abilities requires precision timing and skill, but the result is well worth it in the end.

Lore
The Crownguard family have been well-known as the paragons of Demacia, the right-hand family to the Lightshields. and Crownguard were Demacia's prizes and two of her greatest champions in the League of Legends. A little lesser known, was their older cousin, Thaeris. Though serious, straight-forward, and at times, painfully blunt, Thaeris adored his litle cousins, and sometimes even considered them his own siblings. Gifted in the powers of light just as Lux was, he joined her in the College of Magic. But where Lux trained in the arts of offensive magic, he trained in the defensive. Using light to come to the aid of his allies, he became a warrior of the lumen arts and aced his way through the College alongside his cousin. Not surprisingly, both grew to accomplish amazing feats. Lux joined the League of Legends to fight for Demacia, and Thaeris was appointed the Protector of the Aurora.

All magic has a source upon which they draw power from, and the Aurora was the source of all light sorcery. Guarding it was literally the highest honour that the College could grant. Demacia itself was built around the Aurora's base. However, news soon reached Thaeris that the Pit of Pallas, the source of corrupting magic, had been released from the temple that was meant to contain it. Its Protector,, had let himself be consumed by the Pit's power; the College of Magic deemed it only right that another Protector be sent to stop Varus in his tracks, and return the Pit of Pallas to its previous, contained state. And so Thaeris, being the Aurora's Protector, made his way to the League. And though a happy reunion was in order, Thaeris would return the power of the Pit to whence it came, and destroy its carrier in the process.

""Power is true, from light or darkness. But purity is the true master of both.""
