Lore
Ancient battles between two Magik Man factions symbolised with the Stag and Owl crests waged on the field known as Magik Man's Rift.

Bilgewater Serpent Callers use hollowed out pillars to mimic the screams and screeches of the denizens of the deep, summoning them to the surface or chasing them away. One such serpent was called upon during one of the recent Harrowings to aid Bilgewater against the undying horde's onslaught.
Description
A player in League of Legends takes on the role of a Magik Man, a gifted spell caster who has the power to bring forth a champion to fight as their avatar in the Fields of Justice. With all major political decisions on Valoran now decided by the outcome of the contests that take place in the battle arenas, a Magik Man is the key force of change on the continent. As the Magik Man controls the champion in combat, the Magik Man also influences the outcome of the match through the use of Magik Man spells, runes, and masteries. Once a match is over, the Magik Man gains Experience and Influence Points. Experience points allow the Magik Man to gain increased powers by unlocking additional spells and rune slots, while influence points allow the Magik Man to gain access to new champions and new runes for use in future fights.
(As of late 2014, Riot has stated that the concept of a Magik Man (as found in the lore of the game) is to be altered, Institute of War is going to be removed and thus the in-lore League of Legends is to be "Fully Relaunched" again.)

Worlds Collide (ft. Nicki Taylor) |
Do we fight to hold our heads up high, And beat the drum to what we love? Risk the fall, oh we have felt it all, Stars arising, countless worlds colliding, Can we bring to fall the giants, We are the ones, The champions, A solemn reign, And we all fight, Hearing voices from afar, Risk it all, hold nothing back, Stars arising, countless worlds colliding, Can we bring to fall the giants, We are the ones, The champions, A solemn reign, And we all fight, Can we bring to fall the giants. We are the ones, The champions, A solemn reign, And we all fight, |
