Lore
Over 300 years ago, the Akosai clan became one of the powerful clans in Ionia, but they isolated themselves in an island east of the archipelago. The Akosai has been known to revere and worship the water as their protector. No one dares to visit or attack the island of Akosai as unwelcomed visitors either gets swallowed by gigantic waves or dragged deep by a whirlpool, and only the Akosai merchants sail the waters safely.

Just a few members of the clan desire to see the outside world, one of them is Akosai Noven, the young successor. While most feel contentment by the protection of their deity and enjoys the peaceful days within the island, Noven feels like a prisoner. Desiring for his own freedom, the young lad intends to escape by sneaking into one of the merchants' carriage, in which he succeeded.

Believing that he is still being protected by their deity's grace, Noven is courageous by himself. He alone ventures the unfamiliar lands of Ionia. While wandering in a forest mountain, Noven is chased by a pack of hungry mountain wolves, and is saved by a swordsman. Worried that he would be returned back to the Akosai's island, Noven lied when he was asked about his identity, telling his savior that his family was killed by the wolves. The swordsman offered to take care of Noven and the boy accepted the proposal.

Just like the man who saved his life, Noven aspires to become a master swordsman and trained in the ways of blade.Soon he began his apprenticeship in the village's renowned sword school. Most Elders recognize Noven as highly disciplined and skillful, though Elder Souma never saw his potential to learn wind technique, and instead, chose. In his mind, Noven knows very well that he has no spiritual connection with the wind element and can understand Elder Souma's judgement.

There's not a single day that Noven forgot about what he has left behind in the past- his family, his people, his tradition. Though he became a man of his own choice, he will always be an Akosai. Every time the rain comes, Noven secretly performs a ritual to pay his respects to their deity. For a few nights, Noven has been having strange dreams he cannot explain, seeming like fragments of memories but not his own. Later on, he notice that a mark appeared on his chest, similar enough to his father to be recognizable.

A month have passed after the Ionian and Noxian war, Noven was assigned to search and capture his former friend,, who was accused as the murderer of Elder Souma. While hunting his criminal comrade, Noven heard rumors of Noxian soldiers successfully invaded the island of Akosai during the previous war. It's almost unbelievable to Noven, but he felt uneasiness. Anxious of what might have happened, Noven decided to abandon his mission and rushed back to their island.

Upon arriving, Noven sees half of his village is destroyed. One man approached him and said many of the people survived the battle against Noxians, including his family. When he's reunited with his family, the mother told Noven that his father died of illness a few weeks before the war started.

The secrets of Noven's family is revealed to him. While their clan was facing an overwhelming number of enemies over 300 years ago, the 3rd head master of the Akosai clan had a pact with a water deity and flooded the battlefield, drowning their foes, and resulting in the formation of their island. Ever since then, the spirit of the deity was passed down to the 1st child of the possessor upon death. The magic that controls the waters surrounding their island was broken the moment the deity's spirit was reborn outside its territory, leaving the Akosai vulnerable to threats.

Dismayed by the consequences of his actions when he was a still young, Noven takes full responsibility for his mistakes and pledge with his life to protect his people and their land.
