Eclipse (Universe)/Coven

Lore[]

The witches lay in wait, a sisterhood of frightening pulchritude, their hopes whispered forth from desacralized lips. They speak of the bloating corpses of Old Gods, of ancient rites carried out with magics long forgotten to mortal mind, of the return of what they call "order", but others call "suffering". Hark! Mankind's end fast approaches.

The Coven

Coven Ahri
Chromas: Ahri-versary, Catseye, Dark Ritual, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite
They came to Ahri at the first stirrings of dusk—the laughter of the Half-Light Jackal, ever stalking the world as it turned towards its own inevitable entropy. A vicious predator and powerful witch, Ahri sucks the life from all she lures close, siphoning it towards her lord within the gloom.
- 2Coven Ahri (2Level 2, 2 Ahri's Charm)
  The knights knew what to look for: a trail of death and decay, leading them deeper into the wood. The evidence of such necrotic magic was sure to lead them to the charming fox-witch, servant of the Half-Light Jackal.
  "Little knights, are you lost? My god prefers a chase, but its teeth will tear your flesh all the same."
  "Come, step into the half-light." - Coven Ahri
Coven Akali
Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Destined, Emerald, Profane, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite, Turquoise
They came to Akali encircling from the tree canopy at an impossible speed, their taunts leading her deeper still into the Elderwood until at last she was lost. Then a voice whispered the choice right into her ear: die in these woods alone or emerge in their charge. And so she walked out of the woods... straight into the arms of the Coven.
- Prestige Coven Akali
  Arriving clad in a bold and sporty body suit, Akali's gala attire has us all spellbound. Subversive and on the cutting edge of fashion, she's fierce and redefines how we think of the wicked witch of the woods.
Coven Ashe
Chromas: Aquamarine, Catseye, Dark Ritual, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Tanzanite
They came to Ashe in a bone-deep chill—the frost of the Jet-Black Ibex, entombing the world in ice. She descended the mountain and brought a harrowing winter with her… but that is not the only thing that followed Ashe into the night. The mountain itself rumbles.
- 4Coven Ashe (4Level 2, 3 Ashe's Flash Freeze, 2 Crystal Arrow)
  "The proud shall be humbled. The unbelievers shall be shown no mercy. I am the instrument of the Jet-Black Ibex. I herald the return of the Old Gods."
  The knights entered this territory with trepidation. This witch was said to command winter itself, every arrow loosed from her bow backed by the power of the icy mountain...
  "The cold takes root." - Coven Ashe
  "They will sate the hunger of the Ibex!" - Coven Ashe
Coven Camille
Chromas: Aquamarine, Dark Ritual, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Tanzanite, Turquoise
They came to Camille as if in some dark slumber—whispers of the Ebony Ram, and the nameless things tumbling up from long-forgotten sepulchers. Her throat full of hearsay, she cuts down the vestiges of the new world, seeding the earth with the magics and witchery of her ancient, grinning masters.
Coven Cassiopeia
Chromas: Catseye, Dark Ritual, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite
They came to Cassiopeia as a shadow within the fog—the shape of the Silver Cobra, slithering up from the numberless graves of the ancient dead. She now stalks the ruling families of humankind, her sculpture garden full of wayward souls who strayed too far from the safety of castle walls, now eternally frozen in the throes of terror.
Coven Elise
Chromas: Citrine, Obsidian, Pearl, Profane, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite, Turquoise
They came to Elise long ago, crawling through the underbrush, their many eyes locked with hers as a deal was made. The unfathomable powers of an Old God for her devotion and humanity. Reborn in the image of an arachnoid deity, Elise lingers along the edges of the Elderwood, enticing to their doom all those foolish enough to believe her a mere folktale.
Coven Evelynn
Chromas: Dark Ritual, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire
The covens of the south join their sisters for the great resurrection, as old things stir once more, and old grudges are at last repaid in full. Evelynn, daughter of the Great Harrier, gladly joins her sisters for the darkness to come—a trail of brutality and death always in her wake.
- 4Coven Evelynn (4Level 2, Agony's Embrace, 4 Evelynn's Last Caress, 1 Desperate Husk, 1 Stubborn Husk, 1 Scattered Husk, 1 Breakneck Husk, 1 Haunted Husk, 1 Warded Husk, 1 Enraged Husk, 1 Thrashing Husk, 1 Hardy Husk, 1 Fading Husk)
  The knight watched as ribbons of smoke and bone wended about the woman. He swore not to tell her anything. But the witch goddess only laughed. "You will, darling. For me, you will spill all your secrets."
  "Witch? Oh, darling. I am no mere witch. I am a daughter of old divinity. As far as you're concerned, I am your god."
  "Don't be shy. You know you want a taste of divinity." - Coven Evelynn
  "Scream. Pray. It's all the same." - Coven Evelynn
  "The factions of mere mortals will not last. Your loyalty won't be wasted with me." - Coven Evelynn
  "Look at how well they behave when I strip them of their power. This is natural order of things." - Coven Evelynn
  "What a strange little creature you are. But good amusement, nonetheless." - Coven Evelynn
  "Such a world leaves no room for compassion, little dove. You see that now." - Coven Evelynn
  "Humanity is lost without their gods. Lost, as you were before I found you." - Coven Evelynn
  "Why do I keep them? Sister, is it not obvious? They are good little playthings." - Coven Evelynn
  "In this darkened world, what will you worship? That's right, precious pet. Me." - Coven Evelynn
  "Gods were made for power. People... people were made for pain." - Coven Evelynn
  "Gods, witches, knights--you all need someone to submit to." - Coven Evelynn
  "It's a shame human spirits are so frail. But I do love breaking them." - Coven Evelynn
Coven Janna
- 4Coven Janna (4Level 2, 4 Janna's Eye Of The Storm)
  At their queen's behest, the Coven breathes life into their Old Gods. But the awakening of such a force is no quiet process--and one that must be meticulously defended from the incursion of Eclipse Knights.
  "You were one of us once, Nilah. How base you have become. Test your might against mine, and measure the distance of your fall!"
  "At the eye of the storm, divinity long dead draws first breath!" - Coven Janna
Coven LeBlanc
Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Dark Ritual, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire
They came to LeBlanc as if in some forgotten melody -- songs of the Black Crane, and its titanic heart long-imprisoned within the deepest reaches of the Elderwood. Her sisters fell before the forest's defenders, but LeBlanc did find her prize... and now her patron has begun to wake, stirring itself from a dreamless slumber of unhallowed centuries.
- Prestige Coven LeBlanc
  Resurrected by the Black Crane, LeBlanc has rejoined her sisters with renewed purpose—yet the gifts of the Old Gods do not come without a price. As her body twists into new and strange forms, LeBlanc has discovered that she is the vessel through which her own dead god will return, and that it has granted her impossible power.
- 3Coven LeBlanc (3Level 2, 2 Mirror Image)
  LeBlanc possessed a foresight that her sisters lacked. She was sure that the Black Crane had chosen her for this very reason. She would succeed--she would be the one one to breathe life into the god's long-dead lungs.
  "Rise, Crane! And do not forget that it was I who brought you into life renewed. It was I, who who succeeded where my sisters failed."
  "A pale imitation." - Coven LeBlanc
Coven Lissandra
Chromas: Aquamarine, Dark Ritual, Meteorite, Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sandstone, Tanzanite
They came to Lissandra as if in some waking dream—visions of the Ivory Stag, and the old magics long lost to antiquity. Even now, the ageless witch resides among those twisted shadows of the old growth, awaiting the day her dead gods spill forth from their rotten and accursed graves.
- 3Coven Lissandra (3Level 2, 5 Lissandra's Entomb, 0 Frozen Tomb, 1 Frozen Thrall, 8 Frostguard Thrall, 17 Watcher, 3 Ice Shard)
  The vision seized her mind, an army of thralls in the tundra before her. Behind her, the many hands of the Ivory Stag promised her the power she had always desired...
  "As it was prophesied--all the world shall kneel to this crown of antler and bone."
  "All within the grasp of a god." - Coven Lissandra
  For Lissandra, the Stag's power is both safety and communion. Encased in ice the voice of her god is clear and undeniable; an all-consuming commandment.
  They moved as one, monsters pouring from the frozen fields, bursting from the ice. Streams of thralls met and became rivers, and rivers became a sea of soldiers beneath the watchful eye of the ice witch.
  "Remember the god who granted you this reprieve. Remember your allegiance, thrall!" - Coven Lissandra
  "Even such a monstrosity shall bow before the Stag." - Coven Lissandra
  "My domain grows..." - Coven Lissandra
Coven Morgana
Chromas: Dark Ritual, Obsidian, Pearl, Ruby, Tanzanite
Queen of the coven, and patron of that called Ashen Owl. Morgana worshipped the Old Gods, and wept when they were slain -- betrayed when her sister murdered the primordial sun and delivered its power to an army of witch-knights. Now Morgana has returned to end the reign of mankind, returning the world's true lords to their rightful, mouldering thrones.
- 5Coven Morgana (5Level 2, 3 Morgana's Dark Binding, Soul Shackles)
  Many believe that without Morgana's guiding hand, there would be no coven. Without her power, the old gods would still lie slain and rotting beneath the earth. Whatever the truth may be, the witch queen commands respect wherever she walks.
  "Lord of Death," the witch queen greeted Mordekaiser in a deep bow. Her body began to transmute, dark feather fluttering about, red chains wreathing around her. "Allow me to show you the strength of the Coven I have built."
  "Bow to the Horned King!" - Coven Morgana
  "The Owl perceives all!" - Coven Morgana
Coven Nami
Chromas: Catseye, Emerald, Pearl, Profane, Ruby, Sapphire
They called to Nami from the deep, their voice carrying a promise of power greater than any she had ever known. All Nami needed to do was feed it. She has now forsaken her oaths, her coven, spending endless nights lurking just below the murky waterways of the Elderwood in search of her next sacrifice to the Leviathan.
Coven Nilah
Chromas: Citrine, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Profane, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite
They came to Nilah in a cacophony of cracking brambles and bone, offering unbridled talents in exchange for her loyalty. She obliged by filling a vessel with the deep crimson that dripped from the thorns. She now carries with her this godly relic along with the knowledge that she is destined for more than this coven can ever give.
Coven Syndra
Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Catseye, Emerald, Meteorite, Pearl, Profane, Rose Quartz, Ruby
They came to Syndra in a thundering flutter of carrion wings, beckoning her to free herself from the limitations of mortals. Following the wings' foul wind to a ritual site, she along with another witch awakened the Horned King from his putrid tomb. She now seeks retribution against all who stand against the Coven or the Old Gods.
Coven Zyra
Chromas: Catseye, Dark Ritual, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite
They came to Zyra from the roots and rocks -- stirrings of the Night Dove, its beating wings twisting the very land that is its grave. Tied now to the whispers beneath the loam, she rips away humanity's works of stone and glass, each broken vestige another step towards a world returned to nature.
- Prestige Coven Zyra
  The old gods stir, and rise once more to greet their sun -- but she is slain, devoured by the daughters of the eclipse. On this lightless day they will rage, and quake, and howl, so all men shall know their first and final doom.

Old Gods

Old God Ivern
Chromas: Citrine, Emberwood, Emerald, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite
A nightmarish totem forged of witchcraft and forbidden incantations, Ivern stood among the Old Gods in the days before their destruction. Left inert for hundreds of years, he has risen along with his brethren to annihilate the paltry works of man.
Old God Malphite
Chromas: Catseye, Dark Ritual, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite
Appearing to mortals as a Jet-Black Ibex, Malphite was an Old God of the mountain slain by the Eclipse order and cast down onto the rocks below. Death did not claim him, but the mountain did—and now he rises in its hulking earthen form, the land itself twisted with hatred and consumed by new and terrible hungers.
- 7Old God Malphite (7Level 2, 4 Malphite's Ground Slam, Rockslide, 2 Unstoppable Force)
  Few gods could rival the raw strength of the Jet-Black Ibex, incarnated into the form of the mountain itself. And even fewer witches could survive the mountain's steep and icy ascent--but the lone servant who succeeded would bring the winter back with her.
  "Clouds at my crown... godless men underfoot."
  The Ibex's ire sunders the earth.
  When the old god walks, all else is still.
  "Kneel, tiny foes." - Old God Malphite
Old God Mordekaiser
Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Profane, Ruby, Sandstone
Once known as the Horned King, Old God Mordekaiser turned that which was once dead to his cause, using their shambling forms to topple kingdoms and claim their lands as his own. Before he was slain by the Eclipse Knights, he swore that when he returned to this world, they would all bend to his will and take to the frontlines of his undead army.
- 7Old God Mordekaiser (7Level 2)
  In order to realize his ambitions, Mordekaiser will need to steer the Coven into rigid unity by exploiting every possible ally. His first recruit is his strongest companion and oldest friend--the ancient, long-dead dragon.
  "Death comes. Death goes. But I will always remain!"
Old God Nocturne
Chromas: Aquamarine, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire
The great corpses of the Old Gods fed the land, and in time even the Elderwood would come to grow over their putrid rot–hiding it, perhaps, for a time. But the Gods never truly died and, with the resurgence of the Coven, one has risen again–Nocturne, the Eternal Nightmare.
Old God Elder Dragon
- 12Old God Elder Dragon (12Level 2)
  At the behest of a power older than death itself, a skeletal form drags itself from the fetid waters of the marsh. Once, this creature had been a well-worshipped god. By the will of the Horned King, it will soon be restored to its former glory.
  "Death shall not keep you, old friend. We have much to accomplish together." - Old God Mordekaiser
The Thousand-Pierced Bear
Ancient Freljordian legends speak of spirit walkers consumed by the true spirit of the unrelenting bear—a force older than the Freljord itself. Those who dare to invoke its name cannot fathom the terrible, primal power they call down upon themselves.
- 9The Thousand-Pierced Bear (9Level 2, 8 Volibear's Stormbringer, Relentless Storm)
  Aided by his Coven faithful, the god-bear emerges from an era of hibernation--a little too early. To disturb the rest of an Old God is a fatal transgression. The Volibear will rebuke the traitor and her knights with untold suffering.
  "You mortals have forgotten the old ways. But the old ways have not forgotten you! For this sin, I will crush your skulls to dust. I will shred your lands with storms. Perhaps then, you will finally remember!"
  "They will remember the terror of old!" - The Thousand-Pierced Bear
  "I shall see this darkened world run red with blood!" - The Thousand-Pierced Bear
Old God Warwick
Chromas: Aquamarine, Citrine, Dark Ritual, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire
Once known as Father Wolf, Warwick roamed the wood and reveled in moonlight's bloody hunt. The Eclipse Order thought to slay him in his den and end his barbarity—but death means nothing to Old Gods, and he did not stay down. Father Wolf howls into the night once more, now slavering for the taste of human flesh.

Trivia[]

Coven draws inspiration from several sources such as fashion designers like Alexander McQueen, Disney villainesses and Snow White and the Huntsman.^[1] "High fashion witch queens" was the idea behind Coven's pitch.^[2]
- Other sources of inspiration might be The Witch, Game of Thrones, Dark Souls and Bloodborne, as well as modern pagan religion wicca; deities such as the Triple Goddess, the Horned God and the Green Man inspired recurring motifs in the thematic.
As part of the Eclipse universe, it shares thematic similarities with Riftquest, Ye Olde and Winged Reign.
Before the 2023 set, the color red was reserved for legendary skins such as Morgana and Evelynn.
- 4Janna was first non-legendary red Coven skin, followed by Elise, Nilah and Syndra.
Morgana implies the Coven is exclusive to women, which possibly means the skinline is only for female champions.
Multiple members of the Coven serve a specific Old God:
- Ahri worships the Half-Light Jackal.
- Ashe worships the Jet-Black Ibex.
- Camille worships the Ebony Ram.
- Cassiopeia worships the Silver Cobra.
- Evelynn is the daughter of the Great Harrier with a mortal woman.
- 4Janna worships the Thousand-Pierced Bear.
- LeBlanc worships the Black Crane.
- Lissandra worships the Ivory Stag.
- Morgana worships the Ashen Owl.
- Nami worships the Leviathan.
- Nilah worshipped an unnamed god before betraying the Coven and sealing them into her weapon to join the 2Eclipse Knights.
- Syndra worships the Horned King.
- Zyra worships the Night Dove.
- Kayle, Morgana's sister, used to worship the Primordial Sun before betraying the Coven by devouring the deity.
The Coven is in a magical arms race against the Elderwood, which constantly steals the witches looks and spells.^[3]
- Elderwood Ahri and LeBlanc stole their namesakes' identities.
- Coven Elise is Death Blossom Elise after joining the Coven.^[4]
- Nilah betrayed the Coven because serving an Old God sparked less joy then having one do her bidding.^[5]
In the Eclipse universe, Omen of the Dark is a storybook fable that parents tell their children.^[6] However, the boundaries between reality and fiction are blurry and it's possible the story is an interpretation of Lissandra's schemings and Kayle's betrayal that morphed into folklore.
- A copy of the tome is viciously protected by Spectral Fiddlesticks, as something happens when the book is read.^[7]
Ivern and Nocturne were part of the Elderwood before being retconned into Old Gods. In a similar case, The Thousand-Pierced Bear, while being a nod to Volibear's canon appearance in Silence for the Damned, was retroactively turned into an Old God.^[8]
In Legends of Runeterra, there are Eclipse versions of followers such as:
- 17 Watcher
- 8 Frostguard Thrall
- 1 Desperate Husk
- 1 Stubborn Husk
- 1 Scattered Husk
- 1 Breakneck Husk
- 1 Haunted Husk
- 1 Warded Husk
- 1 Enraged Husk
- 1 Thrashing Husk
- 1 Hardy Husk
- 1 Fading Husk
  - The Husks in this universe are female.
