The First Demacian-Noxian War was a historical period in which 
Noxus conquest was halted by 
Demacia, resulting in Noxus' dominance declining for half a century.
History[]
- 787 AN - 892 AN
During the last few centuries, Noxus had set out which it had sworn to achieve. The Noxian warbands had annexed most of Central Valoran under their banner. With confidence, they marched onward, aiming for the western shores of Valoran.

The Noxians, who had been met with little resistance finally met their match, the Kingdom of Demacia. The battle-hardened Demacians had specialized themselves defending against any onslaught. Outmatched, the Noxian warbands were driven eastward by Demacia's armies, harrying them back behind the walls of Hvardis, a fortified settlement south-east of the Gates of Mourning. After hearing of these setbacks, 
Sion, who had been campaigning in the Argent Mountains, now turned his warband towards Hvardis in order to reclaim the lands that he and his warband conquered.
When Sion's warband arrived at the front, they were met by the Demacian armies on the horizon. They had no intention of pursuing the Noxian warbands any further, seeing as they had driven the invading army from the lands neighboring their own, they were preparing to return home. The commander at Hvardis had decided to let the Demacians leave without inciting any further assault. Outraged at this display, Sion hurled the commander from the city walls, and ordered the attack.
With only his warband following his charge, Sion flew into battle with the Demacian forces but was quickly outnumbered. Alone, pierced by a dozen of the enemies' weapons, he finally reached the enemy commander, King Jarvan I. Sion grasped the king by his throat, attempting the strangle him. Only when the enemy commander stopped breathing, did Sion allow himself to die. With their king slain, the Demacians made a retreat back beyond their borders. As Noxus mourned Sion passing, his corpse was entombed within a towering monument constructed to honor him for all time.
- 895 AN - 942 AN
Over the next half a century, Demacia would end up freeing the countries of Central Valoran from Noxian dominance, pushing the Noxians back towards their capital.
- 942 AN - 945 AN
Sion's tomb was reopened. The ruling Grand General of the empire, 
Boram Darkwill, was willing to pay almost any price to restore Noxus' lost glory. Darkwill's allies, a mysterious cabal known as the 
Black Rose, reanimated the long-dead hero using forbidden magics, and presented him to the Grand General. After a few battles, Sion's blood lust was deemed uncontrollable and Boram ordered for his imprisonment. Hundreds of warriors died trying to restrain him before he was finally bound in chains and dragged back to the 
Immortal Bastion. Without slaughter, the blood magic that sustained him quickly engulfed his mind in an all-consuming rage. His roars finally fell silent as he was sealed in beneath his giant statue.
