but whats worst is its not even death, just as the god warrior likely said “we will cease to exist”. They not even find themselves a part of history anymore like any other people close to their death, I would say they slowly being erased from existence.

It really feels like a story wrote by a book writer. Not saying other Riot's work is bad, it's fkin awsome actually, but the way this one was written really made me feel like I'm reading some kind of old-fashioned fantasy book. And I seriously felt sad at the end of it. I can't even describe how awsome work Riot is doing with LoL's lore.

Man Necrit, you never fail to give these stories a life they never have on the page. The writing recently has been amazing, and this bit especially moved me. I felt the pride and courage Jax inspired in Axamuk. I felt his horror when the God Asended came crashing upon their ranks. His overwhelming fear and the weeping in retreat. I truly felt their inhuman strength when bodies And heads were being thrown like pieces of exploded vegetables. I knew Jax had to be hiding so much pain when he let Axamuk stay, but it shows us Jax values choice above everything, even having a single companion to live through the end of the world with. Im so glad we finally know more about the void, and Jax especially. Being so old, its nice to see his existence be kept the same, yet be given true humanity so he isn't just a living meme anymore. 11/10 video, rewatched parts over and over. Will rewatch again.

So, does this mean that Jax was able to take on an Shuriman ascended even before the void corruption? And he had 2000 more years to hone his skills after that. In that case he might be on the level of Nasus and Renekton right?

For real, 343 Guilty Spark is hands down one of the best missions in all the fps games i have played. The reaveal of the flood is soo good and so well made, whit all those little hints and "Easter eggs" before it.

I was actually amazed how well they described the void being unleashed. When I was reading it, it was literally terrifying as I imagined it.

The process of his name and meaning and identity being destroyed vaguely reminded me of natives here in Canada. It's surprising how powerfully it hit, good job on the lore team.

i think that there is two types of voidborns ones that are originally born from the void itself (kha, velkoz, cho, kog,and reksai,baron and malzahar's voidlings) others are creatures corrupted by it (like the hawks and the lama from kai'sa's comic,rift scuttle,malzahar,and voidspawns from the zz'rot iteam),true voidborns when they first come out from the void they lose their original form like shown in the artworks but eventually they take their form again and form a unique exoskeleton depending on what they consume and how fast they adapt also they lose the purple coloration the more time they spent outside the void like kog (green color as adaptation to camouflage in the jungles) and chogath who adapted a rocky like skin based from his artwork...but the most dangerous void rifts are the ones in the deep sea because the sea itself thrive with life and the void there will never starve and it seems that not only animal life forms are affected but plants too like the seaweed in nami's comic.

I must say, since i started watching your vids about 5 months ago, you have come a long way. The story-telling theme was a fantastic idea, and gave a lot of power to it. This is by far my favorite story. You never cease to amaze, as do the writers at Riot.

Best story ever good work my dude!

The first 10min alone are indescribable... Jax slayed an acended beeing! This is epic af

you dont even know how much this touched me in the end when it all ended... its so... sad, yet so beautiful...

The shurimans knew what it was does that mean they actouly once fought the void and won??? Also how can that bird know that you gets undone which means if the void gets removed you become remade?

Was nice hearing this again years after i read it on it's release The writing when the battle commences up to the end was absolutely amazing

Saijax is Jax for sure- he eats eggs, he is recognized as a master of all weapons, and he did get hurt badly by something different (probably the void) which can explain how jax became a void human figure, and explains how he is still alive. This story was amazing, thank you necrit!

a 41 min video from Necrit ?,is this my birthday? :O

The price of victory was far to great for Icathia not only did they lost their home and unleashed the void upon Runeterra they lost their sense of self and that is truly horrifying.

Yup first lore that made me cry damn well done

This story was absolutely phenomenal. The ending really blew me away. I honestly have no words. It was so good

Given that we know Azir’s ancestors were essentially expansionists that built their empire on slave labor, I wonder how much time passed between this story and Azir’s rule. One interesting note is this story implies that Ascension is more common than Nasus, Renekton, and Azir’s lore led us to believe. Each Shuriman army has a host of Ascended Warriors. Were Nasus and Renekton the only Ascended left by Azir’s time?

great story and great narrator keep up the good work my freind

Damn I wish Lol was mmorpg...so I could truly DIVE into this world... To choose my nationality, have Azir as my emperor, do quests from Nasus and Renekton, fight Xerath... and most important.....MAKE SHURIMA GREAT AGAIN and then maybe play as Ionian...
