Death Sworn is a mix series of alternate future/universe skins in League of Legends. Set in a world where champions are fallen warriors chosen by Death to claim souls for the Underworld.
The underworld stirs with ominous activity. Death marshals its subjects for a new plan of terrifying desing, one that will require the souls of every mortal.
Lore[]
- Eager to claim more souls for the underworld, Death sends the souls of fallen warriors as Death Sworn back to the mortal plane, where they serve their master's terrible bidding with relish.
- Death Sworn
In the service of Death rises Gravelord Azir! He who knows neither victory nor defeat, for even the bloodiest of battles strengthen his undying legions.
As arrogant in undeath as he was in life, Draven torments those of the underworld with a penchant for terror and style. Though his audience may not be as lively as once was, he still enjoys a good groan from his next victim.
When the dead refuse to take their place among the Death Sworn, the spectral knight Hecarim rides them down with his scythe at the ready. In his wake charge countless subjugated spirits, now yearning for nothing more than the reaping of fresh and defiant souls.
To fully swear oneself to Death's service, a mortal must be prepared to sacrifice the living. A skilled assassin in life, Katarina pledged her sinister blades willingly, and was granted spectral abilities allowing her to pass in and out of the underworld with ease.
Every army of the dead needs its cavalry. From atop the reanimated hulk of a savage drüvask, Sejuani leads hosts of cruel, lost souls, hellbent on shaping the world in Death's image.
With his silver tongue, Twisted Fate tricked the lords of the living to offer their beloved starchild to Death in exchange for their own immortality. Little did they know, eternal life without their avatar of compassion and mercy would result only in eternal suffering…
On a cold, dreary night, a pioneering inventor was tried and hanged for preaching his glorious vision of the future—a world in which the living knelt before the dead. Death had to admire Viktor's conviction, and sent him back into the mortal world, blessed with powers beyond imagination.
Once a pupil of the martial arts, Wukong trained under his masters' strict traditions and doctrines. In him, Death saw limitless potential, and chose to claim the disregarded student for the underworld instead. Now, Wukong fights alongside the undying hordes, no longer bound by the rules of the living.
Having lived his life in the shadows, Zed's eventual return from the dead should have come as no surprise to anyone. A master of unliving darkness, he is only too happy to spend all eternity spilling mortal blood, as one of the Death Sworn.
