Corrupted is a series of alternate future/universe skins in Legends of Runeterra, set in an alternate timeline where champions are corrupted by the Darkin.
Lore[]
- Corrupted Ascended
- Corrupted Azir
"People of Shurima--my people! I have been granted power beyond your imagining. A power beyond the strength of the Ascended."
"The Sun Disc is a symbol of the past. Its golden light has faded; its shining surface overtaken by rust. I will destroy it and make it anew! I will lead us into a new era!"
"SHURIMA! YOU ARE MINE TO COMMAND! SURRENDER YOURSELF TO ME--TOGETHER, WE WILL LIVE FOREVER!"
"BOW TO YOUR ONLY TRUE EMPEROR! SERVE HIM FOR ETERNITY!" - Corrupted Azir
Though his sand soldiers' warped forms were a clear indicator of Azir's descent into madness, the emperor could no longer see how far he'd gone. Xolaani had conquered him, completely and irreversibly.
What springs forth from the deser't sands is a reflection of its emperor's mind--mindless violence, desperate and crumbling.
"The Sun Disc is no more! I am Shurima's past, present, and future!" - Corrupted Azir
"WITNESS: A NEW LOCUS OF DIVINE POWER! THE BLOOD OF SHURIMA!" - Corrupted Azir ( , , , , , , )
- Corrupted Nasus
As Nasus' mind declined, he clung to his strongest memory--that of his brother, Renekton, urging Nasus to sacrifice him.
What kind of brother would force such a choice? Centuries of guilt, regret, torment... no brother would do such a thing, Nasus thought over and over again. It was the only thought left to him. No brother of his. No brother.
No. Nasus had no brother. Renekton would die, and then Nasus would know peace again.
"The Sun Disc is no more! I am Shurima's past, present, and future!" - Corrupted Azir
"WITNESS: A NEW LOCUS OF DIVINE POWER! THE BLOOD OF SHURIMA!" - Corrupted Azir ( , , , )
- Corrupted Renekton
Renekton's memories had abandoned him long before he finally emerged from the darkness of the tomb. Inside the prison, Xerath had poisoned his mind with cruel whispers--and when freed, Xolaani's influence simply cemented conviction in his singular goal.
His brother had betrayed him. His emperor abandoned him. All of Shurima had left him to rot for centuries upon centuries. No one and nothing deserved to live. With reckless abandon, he would destroy everything...
...starting with the monster he'd once called "brother".
"Rend it ALL to bloody pieces!" - Corrupted Renekton
"Nasus, Shurima--ALL WILL DIE!" - Corrupted Renekton
"The Sun Disc is no more! I am Shurima's past, present, and future!" - Corrupted Azir
"WITNESS: A NEW LOCUS OF DIVINE POWER! THE BLOOD OF SHURIMA!" - Corrupted Azir ( , , , , , )
- Corrupted Xerath
To Xerath, Shurima had never truly been home. He had been bound, humiliated--desperate to prove his worthiness to those who refused to see it.
With Xolaani's unconditional love coursing through his nebulous being, his strength was unfettered at last.
Never again would he serve as an inferior. Shurima would be bound to him forevermore, and remade in his unbridled image.
"The Sun Disc is no more! I am Shurima's past, present, and future!" - Corrupted Azir
"WITNESS: A NEW LOCUS OF DIVINE POWER! THE BLOOD OF SHURIMA!" - Corrupted Azir ( , , , )
- Corrupted Aspects
- Corrupted Diana
“Something evil has taken root in our lady’s soul. She ransacks our houses of worship, demanding to know 'the truth'--but what 'truth'? We do not have the answer she seeks..." - Lunari Priestess
"...And how will she find truth, having blinded herself so? I fear she will soon be lost to us forever.” - Lunari Priestess ( )
- Corrupted Leona
As day broke, a warm calm suffused Leona's entire spirit. How had she not realized it sooner? The Sun’s brilliance belonged only to the chosen, the righteous, the worthy...
...And it was her divine obligation to punish any who dared look upon Her light with undeserving eyes. ( )
- Corrupted Pantheon
"See how he struggles, my children. See the futility of defiance. Such needless suffering--and he has only himself to blame." - Xolaani
"Ahh, brave Pantheon... my faithful champion of peace. Now you understand your true purpose--and I forgive your disobedience." - Xolaani ( )
- Corrupted Taric
Even as the peaks crumbled around him, Taric could only watch on in detached horror. With each passing moment, he felt his mind slip away; pulled further and further into oblivion by Xolaani's smothering hold.
In time, nothing remained of what Taric once was. Yet, despite Xolaani's absolute control, she could not seem to stop the great stream of tears pouring endlessly down his cheeks. ( )
- Corrupted Zoe
Ugh, white is SUUUCH a boring color. Where's the fun? Where's the CHAOS?!
Now THIS is more like it. Who'da thought universal planetary obliteration would be such a blast?!
"YAWN. I'm done with this game." - Zoe
"Aren't all these stars so pretty and sparkly and UGH I just can't wait to snuff them out!" - Zoe
"All of creation is my toybox! Now, what will I play with next?" - Zoe
"BUH-bye." - Zoe ( , , , , )
