Freljord's Old Gods

“	▶️  "Gods do not need followers. Followers need gods."
	— Ornn

Unlike a handful of other deities worshiped throughout Runeterra's different cultures, the Freljordian gods are physical real beings that manifest as spiritual animals and each were conceived from some transcendental force that bonds them together like siblings. However most of these divine spirits have faded into obscurity over the eons, as the Freljord has dissolved into warring factions and tribal splinters.

Where some legends are still being shared, those stories have been misinterpreted far beyond any recollected truth and many times have fellow Freljordians engaged in brutal conflict over their religious conjecture, from drunken bar brawls to merciless wars. Now the only demi-gods to be remembered have been those few who still actively interact with their worshipers.

Of them, only Volibear is known to actively influence their worshippers, but other Spirits that fall in this category are Ornn, Anivia, The Seal Sister and The Boar-God.

“	▶️   "Glory to the Volibear, the Thousand-Pierced Beast. Give my people the resilience of your wilderness and the fury of your storm." ▶️   "Praise Ornn, the Firebringer. I ask for your wisdom, First Builder and Forgelord." ▶️   "Praise Anivia, the Frostbringer. Let us feel the coming of change. Grant us the freedom to travel in safety." ▶️   "Praise Kindred, the Two Hunters. Pray we see death's approach, so we may complete our labors and die with our eyes open." ▶️   "Bless us, Ildhaurg, Warden of Sacrifice. Protect my husband. Protect my people. If my death pleases you, let it sustain my tribe."

The Path to Hearth-Home

Dark smoke exhales, from the mountain half

And wind blows through hollow dells
Skies clear as day, shall soon turn gray
And you'll know, you're nearing Ornn

Barring your path is a chasm wide
Howls rise from fathomless pits
But close stands a bridge, frozen by time
And across, you'll soon find Ornn

River of fire, that scorches the earth
Belies his kingdom of stone
And steel sings its tone, as a god stands alone
The shaping hand, we know as Ornn

Sparks leap and fly from the star-fallen ore
Forging his works, divine
Bellows erupt, with unbridled force

No longer lost - the Mountainsmith, Ornn
