Wonders of the World is a series of alternate future/universe skins in League of Legends. Set in an alternate Earth, each champion represents the culture of a real world nation.

Lore

Individuals hailing from the far-flung universe of "Earth," where giant statues come to life and everyone is wearing a fun hat. It's a lot like Runeterra, if you think about it.

Arabia

• Vizier Malzahar
  

Australia

• Outback Renekton
  Crikey, what a ripper.

Brazil

• Festival Queen Anivia
  For one week a year, Anivia takes a break from being a prophetic ice spirit of the Freljord, and takes off for warmer climes… somewhere people will appreciate her samba.

China

• Panda Teemo
  Pandas aren't naturally aggressive towards humans, but this isn't a panda. It's Teemo dressed as a panda. Stay alert.

Denmark / Iceland / Norway / Sweden

• Viking Tryndamere
  Vikings believed that death in battle was a ticket to the eternal realm of Valhalla. Tryndamere's signature ability is being unable to die. You… you're seeing the issue here, right?

Germany

• Oktoberfest Gragas
  Gragas is the world's premier authority on beverages. Here, at the international beverage festival and funfair, he's drinking a lot of them.

Greece

• Myrmidon Pantheon
  “They say the Myrmidons were shaped by the gods—that Zeus himself quickened life into magma. But then, the Myrmidons marched. They marched against us. And in the ash of their skin, the fire of their merciless eyes, I saw all the wars that humanity had wrought. That they... were us.”

Hungary / United States of America

• Bird of Prey Anivia
  

Ireland

• Shamrock Malphite
  Malphite is a twenty-ton rock man who used to be part of an even larger rock that was destroyed, leaving him orphaned on a distinctly un-rocklike plane of existence. The guy could use a little luck.

Korea

• Dynasty Ahri
  Though Ahri's royal blood is obvious in her fashion and poise, she much prefers running across rooftops and causing general mischief to being locked up in a castle. Life's more fun with laughter, don't you think?
• Masked Shaco
  A practitioner of masked dance drama, many of Shaco's performances begin as social commentary on the plight of the working class, and end with a random audience member being stabbed in the spine. It's a show worth seeing if you don't think about that last part.

Lithuania / Poland / Serbia

• Winged Hussar Xin Zhao
  A member of the vaunted winged hussars, Xin Zhao is one of the last standard bearers of a military order tracing its roots back to the late 17th century. Of course, his progenitors didn't ride an army of armored black pegasi into battle, but you know how it is.

Romania

• Glaive Warrior Pantheon
  Born of a wolf, and bearing the wolf's standard into battle, this Dacian glaive warrior fights in the cold of the Carpathian Mountains—knowing that the blood of his enemies will keep him warm.

Russia

• Bear Cavalry Sejuani
  Sejuani has taken to battle on an armored, one-eyed warbear the size of a shed, while swinging a land mine on a chain, wearing a delightfully vintage red-star hat. Good luck out there!

Thailand

• Muay Thai Lee Sin
  Known as “the art of eight limbs”, Muay Thai is a multidisciplinary fighting style practiced by boxers for centuries. Lee Sin, who has mastered many forms of hand-to-hand combat, is among its greatest champions.

Turkey

• Sultan Gangplank
  Gangplank is a ruler from a distant land, and tales of his battle prowess and flowing red beard have reached even the farthest-flung city-states. As all rulers from distant lands, he also sports a snappy hat.
• Sultan Tryndamere
  Tryndamere is a ruler from a distant land, and tales of his impossible strength and distinctive mustache have reached even the farthest-flung city-states. As is the rule rather than the exception with rulers from distant lands, his hat is exceptional.

United States of America

• Statue of Karthus
  At the entry point of one of the world's most powerful nations stands the three-hundred-and-five-foot-tall statue of an evil, undead preacher holding a giant torch. Sometimes it comes to life. It's fun. Statues are fun.
• Uncle Ryze
  Uncle Ryze wants YOU… to get on the rift!

History

Rengarbraufest

The Masquerade

• I
• II
• III
• IV
• V

Exists a time of the year in which the people from various corners of the world celebrate the joy of living. Between music and dances, the entire town goes out to show their fantasic costumes, the champions being a source of inspiration. The most creative marchers reinvent their admired characters!

Only that sometimes, as distracted that they are in the party, they forget that there are other places, let's say, a bit less colorful... like the Howling Abyss, where life elapses grey for the charming little poros. Is it that they don't have the right to have fun like everyone else?

Fortunately, someone showed compassion for these little creatures and decided to prepare them a very special surprise.

After a while, this mysterious benefactor (or benefactress?) left a present to the little inhabitants of the lugubrious bridge, something that will doubtlessly leave them very happy. Now the poros will also be able to celebrate the joy of living by donning on costumes of their favorite champions!

Would be possible that we ever discover who's behind all of this? This is but one of the many surprises that brings... The Masquerade.
