Lore[]
- Calligraphia
Janna protects the Lake of Ink and all who come to its shores seeking knowledge, answers, and truth. Janna is not often one to ask for anything, yet as the Divine Inkarnate rises from the black depths, she knows it is her time to ask the question that has become most pressing to her: "Where did I come from?"
Jarvan stands before the Lake of Ink, ready to uncover the lessons learned by the kings of old. He hopes his ancestors will be pleased with his choices and proud of the man he's become. Jarvan may be enjoying everyone's company around the lake, but he's prepared to follow the Divine Inkarnate into the depths for the assurances he seeks.
The sweet drink that passed Tryndamere's lips was not sweeter than his dreams of revenge. Though the gathering along the banks of the Lake of Ink was a place for introspection, art, and merriment. He could not resist the allure of plunging into the depths after the Divine Inkarnate beast, and see deeds of the greatest warriors swirled around him.
Her ancestral home laid to waste, so many answers taken to the grave, Xayah seeks knowledge she hopes will be found at the lake of ink. She leaves Rakan at home with a note, bearing words he had long heard her say: "Our kind will not die with me one day!"
As the leaf is taken on a voyage by the wind, he too is adrift. Questioning the nature of forgiveness, words catch in his throat. But on the shores of the Lake of Ink, Yasuo is swept up in celebration, for the Divine Inkarnate has been birthed from all the written words whose ink fills the lake. Guiding him to the knowledge he seeks.
Embodying the flair and elegance of the art of calligraphy, Yasuo's latest ensemble has definitely left its mark on the future of fashion.
