{{quote|''"Master Doran, this is from Wukong. He couldn't make the journey with me, but he wanted me to bring you his favorite fruit. He loves his staff, almost as much as he loves making fun of the helmet you gave me."''|{{cbi|Master Yi}}|[[Homecoming (Short Story)|Homecoming]]}}
  +
  +
'''Master Doran''' was a legendary blacksmith of the {{fi|Wuju Order}} from [[Wuju]], the same village {{cbi|Master Yi}} was a part of. He was respected throughout Wuju for his skill with hammer and anvil. Doran desires nothing more than to craft the best blades in the world, but does not forge them for battle.
  +
  +
== Background ==
  +
=== Taught by {{cbi|Ornn}} ===
  +
Although the birthplace of Doran remains unknown, he received instruction from the God of the Forge, {{cbi|Ornn}}, prior to journeying to [[Wuju]]. This may suggest a potential connection to the {{fi|Freljord}}.
  +
  +
=== Life in [[Wuju]] ===
  +
At some point, Doran would travel and settle in [[Wuju]], because only they saw his weapons the same way as he did, a tool not to be used for bloodshed. Though he was once an outsider to the village, Wuju’s smiths and masters had embraced him, so legendary was his skill with hammer and anvil.
  +
Every four seasons, he would make a pilgrimage south of the village, to [[Mistfall]], a sacred site of a [[Titan War|long forgotten, ancient battlefield]]. He would be accompanied three times by Master Hurong, Yi's master, and later by a young {{cbi|Master Yi|Yi}}.
  +
  +
Doran would come to [[Mistfall]] to leave his blades there as a token of his vow to never again participate in the violence and bloodshed of war. Since Doran never had the intention for his weapons to be used in war, the spirits of [[Mistfall]] granted his blades blessings that would last.
  +
  +
At some point, Doran, created a {{ai|Crushing Blow|Wukong|Staff}} and the {{cbi|Master Yi|Seven Lenses of Insight}} and gave them to a now {{cbi|Master Yi}}.<ref>[[Homecoming (Short Story)]]</ref>
  +
  +
=== [[Noxian Invasion of Ionia]] and Death ===
  +
During the [[Noxian Invasion of Ionia|Noxian Invasion]], {{cbi|Master Yi}} followed by the other masters fought off the Noxian troops and tried to help liberate [[Navori]]. With the village of [[Wuju]] unprotected, it was destroyed by {{fi|Noxus}} and its chemical weapons it gained from {{fi|Zaun}}, corrupting the land on which it once stood. No villager survived, including Master Doran and Yi's parents, leaving Yi the only original surviving member of {{fi|Wuju Order}}.
  +
  +
== Appearance ==
  +
Doran was a old man with a long white beard and his hair tied up into a bun. He wore a loose yellow robe with red hems, tied togheter with a similarly colored red belt. He wears loose light blue pants and long fingerless gloves in the same color, connected between the middle and ring finger.
  +
  +
== Personality ==
  +
Doran showed to be an unkempt, absentminded, and eccentric old man. Even though he carried himself with a certain nonchalance, his more deeper wisdom would sometimes still surface during important moments.
   
  +
== Abilities ==
−
[[The Journal of Justice: Volume 1, Issue 18#The Mailbag of Justice|The Journal of Justice: Volume 1, Issue 18]] sheds light to the lore behind Doran's story:
  
  +
* '''Craftmanship:''' Doran is responsible for the creation of several items, such as {{ii|Doran's Blade}}, {{ii|Doran's Lost Blade}}, {{ii|Doran's Ring}}, {{ii|Doran's Lost Ring}}, {{ii|Doran's Shield}}, {{ii|Doran's Lost Shield}}, {{ii|Doran's Lost Idol}}, {{ai|Crushing Blow|Wukong|Doran's Staff}} and {{cbi|Master Yi|Doran's Seven Lenses of Insight}}.
   
  +
== Relations ==
  +
=== {{cbi|Master Yi}} ===
  +
Doran trained Master Yi by taking him to [[Mistfall]], where he learned how to imbue his weapon with spirit energy.
  +
=== {{cbi|Wukong}} ===
  +
Doran created Wukong's Staff.
   
  +
=== {{cbi|Ornn}} ===
  +
Everything Doran knew about crafting weapons and items, he was allegedly taught by Ornn.
  +
{{quote|{{sm2|Ornn_Original_P_finishforging_4.ogg}}''"I taught Doran everything he knows."''|{{cbi|Ornn}}}}

  +
== Trivia ==
  +
* In the old lore, '''Effrem E. Doran''' was an unknown non-playable character from [[Ionia]] and the individual after whom several [[starter item]]s are named after.
  +
* Featured in the [[Journal of Justice]] (Issue 18: The Mailbag of Justice).
  +
* His surname ''Doran'' comes possibly from {{w|Goidelic languages|Gaelic}} ''Ó'Deóradháin'' "descendants of exiles" < ''deóradh'' < {{w|Brittonic language|Brittonic}} ''di-brogis'' < {{w|Proto-Celtic language|Proto-Celtic}} ''*di-mrogis'' lit. "away from the border"<ref>McBain, A. ''Etymological Dictionary of the Gaelic language'', p. 117</ref><ref>Matasović, R. ''Etymological dictionary of Proto-Celtic'', p. 97, 280</ref>
  +
** ''Effrem'' comes seemingly from Hebrew toponym,<ref>''Encyclopædia Biblica'',
  +
vol. 2, p. 1309-10</ref> {{w|Tribe of Ephraim|tribal}}, & {{w|Ephraim|personal}} name ''Ep̄rayim'' אֶפְרַ֫יִם, from Proto-West-Semitic ''*piry-'' "fruit"<ref>Weninger et al. ''The Semitic languages'', p. 201</ref>

<blockquote>''“What is the story of Doran and his trinkets that the League so frequently uses? Who was Doran? When did he live? Why did he create these items? I've always been curious as to the origins of these items I use so frequently in my matches.” – Summoner Afrasabi of Noxus''<br /><br />

''The story of Doran tugs at the heartstrings. They say Effrem E. Doran was born with a hammer in his hands and a forge in his heart. Every object he touched, he found ways to improve, and he knew that he was destined to be a brilliant artificer. At the age of 15, he was invited to the League with an offer to assume the role of Master Artificer, a dream come true and an unprecedented honor for one so young. However, fate had other plans. En route, his carriage broke an axle. When he leaned down to inspect it, he was kicked in the head by his donkey, a stern blow. He stumbled back onto the wagon, but when he arrived at the Institute of War he was a different boy. The kick had rendered his mind soft, but it hadn’t robbed him of his passion. He still wanted nothing other than to craft, but where once he may have created singular masterpieces, he now crafted…somewhat simpler items, and many of them. He is a kind, goofy, good-hearted soul, and he takes pride in the work he does. His items are daily selected by champions on the Fields of Justice, and he has a permanent home at the Institute.''</blockquote>

Brackern

Surrounded around the Shuriman Continent are several clans of Brackern, including clans in the Shuriman desert.

Dormun

The Dormun are gigantic, slow-moving creatures protected with large chitinous plates covering their body. In the harsh conditions of Shurima they have evolved to survive the perpetual drought by utilizing an unknown sense to locate hidden reservoirs of water. Incidentally, certain nomadic tribes have built themselves a permanent home upon the backs of these beasts where they clean the creature and hunt any airborne pests who venture near.

Eka'Sul

Desert goats that travel in herds.

Mwatis

Mwatis are goatlike creatures with large plated casques on their heads. Mwati wool and plate are prised for felting and insulation.

Kmiros

Gigantic scarabs that roam in swarms, looking for unfortunate travelers to feed on. They seem to be common prey for Rammus Rammus.

Outerbeasts

Main article: Voidborn

Beside the Xer'Sai, other creatures from the Void, referred to as 'outerbeasts', can be found in the desert.

  • Xer'Sai: Creatures from the Void that plague the southern deserts. They are the size of big dogs on average, but can be smaller or much bigger. Rek'Sai Rek'Sai, as the queen, is by far the largest and most dangerous of her species. Xer'sai burst from their small burrows and ravage anything nearby, to the detriment of desert caravans. Once dead, the Xer'sai decompose at an abnormally rapid rate and become inedible.

Ralsiji

Large and aggressive minotaur-like creatures. They are humpbacked quadrupeds with long limbs and thick horns.

Shuriman Camel

A breed of camels native to the deserts of Shurima and are used by caravans as well as common folk as primary mode of transportation. Despite being well-suited for lengthy travels in the desert landscape, they are still prey to a many predator such as the Xer'Sai.

Sandswimmers

Shurima Sandswimmers

Sandswimmers

Sandswimmers are massive quadrupedal creatures that traverse the Shuriman desert in cyclical patterns. They got their name due to their preferred method of travel. Their narrow bodies and webbed feet are perfectly design for swimming under the sand. They feed on bugs and other small creatures most desert beasts ignore. Scavengers will often memorize the predictable paths these creatures take, and jump onto their backs to ride as far as they wish.


Skallashi

The Skallashi are large quadrupedal herbivores. These hardy beasts of burden are common across Shurima, ideally suited to the harsh desert environment. Their key body feature is their long legs. Notoriously bad-tempered, they are nevertheless treated with great reverence. Their brown hides are often painted with sacred symbols of protection, and their horns hung with totems and charms. While these creatures are mostly used for travel and carrying heavy loads, on some larger skallashi people are able to built miniature rooms for more comfortable travel. To own one is often considered a sign of considerable prosperity.

Master Yi Poetry with a Blade
Doran
Doran (Universe)Doran (Universe)


“ "Master Doran, this is from Wukong. He couldn't make the journey with me, but he wanted me to bring you his favorite fruit. He loves his staff, almost as much as he loves making fun of the helmet you gave me."
— Master Yi Master Yi, Homecoming
Separator


Master Doran was a legendary blacksmith of the Meditate Wuju Order from Wuju, the same village Master Yi Master Yi was a part of. He was respected throughout Wuju for his skill with hammer and anvil. Doran desires nothing more than to craft the best blades in the world, but does not forge them for battle.

Background

Taught by Ornn Ornn

Although the birthplace of Doran remains unknown, he received instruction from the God of the Forge, Ornn Ornn, prior to journeying to Wuju. This may suggest a potential connection to the Freljord Crest icon Freljord.

Life in Wuju

At some point, Doran would travel and settle in Wuju, because only they saw his weapons the same way as he did, a tool not to be used for bloodshed. Though he was once an outsider to the village, Wuju’s smiths and masters had embraced him, so legendary was his skill with hammer and anvil. Every four seasons, he would make a pilgrimage south of the village, to Mistfall, a sacred site of a long forgotten, ancient battlefield. He would be accompanied three times by Master Hurong, Yi's master, and later by a young Yi Yi.

Doran would come to Mistfall to leave his blades there as a token of his vow to never again participate in the violence and bloodshed of war. Since Doran never had the intention for his weapons to be used in war, the spirits of Mistfall granted his blades blessings that would last.

At some point, Doran, created a Staff Staff and the Seven Lenses of Insight Seven Lenses of Insight and gave them to a now Master Yi Master Yi.[1]

Noxian Invasion of Ionia and Death

During the Noxian Invasion, Master Yi Master Yi followed by the other masters fought off the Noxian troops and tried to help liberate Navori. With the village of Wuju unprotected, it was destroyed by Noxus Crest icon Noxus and its chemical weapons it gained from Zaun Crest icon Zaun, corrupting the land on which it once stood. No villager survived, including Master Doran and Yi's parents, leaving Yi the only original surviving member of Meditate Wuju Order.

Appearance

Doran was a old man with a long white beard and his hair tied up into a bun. He wore a loose yellow robe with red hems, tied togheter with a similarly colored red belt. He wears loose light blue pants and long fingerless gloves in the same color, connected between the middle and ring finger.

Personality

Doran showed to be an unkempt, absentminded, and eccentric old man. Even though he carried himself with a certain nonchalance, his more deeper wisdom would sometimes still surface during important moments.

Abilities

Relations

Master Yi Master Yi

Doran trained Master Yi by taking him to Mistfall, where he learned how to imbue his weapon with spirit energy.

Wukong Wukong

Doran created Wukong's Staff.

Ornn Ornn

Everything Doran knew about crafting weapons and items, he was allegedly taught by Ornn.
