Lore of Legends of Runeterra: FRELJORD

well hello everyone and welcome to a special video about the cars of legends of runeterra when I first opened this game I didn't start building decks and playing against players I did what nobody else did I went into the collection and I looked at the lore of the cars and believe me when I say that there is a lot of lore so in the upcoming days probably everyday we will release one video on every region so today we are starting with freljord because freljord has some pretty life-changing things that we will talk about ok maybe it will not change your lives it will certainly change my life but anyway let's get on it every card in legends of runeterra does have its own description so ever if I click on braum right here you can see that there are some connected cards to him they will reappear later so we will have a look at them later but also you can click on the eye and you will get the description and the entire art and the pictures here the art is absolutely beautiful so we will stop every now and then and I will show you some references so let's start with the descriptions papa tell me one about Brom and his door or when his fall split the mountain into oh what about when he saved the tavern from the rampaging Yeti of course on the art you can see that his mansion Yeti next we have ash and these descriptions of the heroes are gonna be very generic there is no new law yet but as we go further you'll see there is a load of new lore you are not our enemy our truffaut is the long wall as winter we are all people of the Freljord and this land belongs to all of us of course this is just the normal way the of rosen's live I like the detail that you can see a little rainbow above the other rows in town of course I should be also showing you the the art when they level up the description is exactly the same but there is still some storytelling for example here notice the people on the left and on the right these people will come back and I should also mention that there is a lot of storytelling in the cards themselves you notice that if you put multiple cards together you will actually get a small story and there is a massive story hidden among these cards in fraud I will point it out so you know you don't really have to be looking for easter eggs now but you'll see that there is something incredibly cool I'll quickly go back to brown because Brahm also got a special art when he levels up you just have a look at the the poro with his eyepatch that's the only special one here and now we'll be going forward uh Nivea I was born from this hard land and it is mine to safeguard time war even death itself will not stop my vigil now notice how a Nivea says that the land is her to safeguard because if we go back I am not exactly sure if she can you know protect Freljord anyway we also got the upgraded art this is when she loves up again the description is the same but notice that she's actually fighting back an army and if you look at the army you can see do they have little horns on their helmets are typical for the frost guard which are the loyalists of lissandra so you can see that even a Nivea sees the armies of lissandra as evil which is something pretty cool next we have Tryndamere do not die for your cause live for it now the art here is super interesting because again you can see horns on helms those are not of rosen's and those are certainly not the winter school so again we are talking about first guard and we also know that this is frost guard because not only is the armor very iconic but also if you look at the background you can see that they are enslaving yetis and lissandra does have a certain past with enslaving yetis again this is just awesome world building of course then there's also the upgraded art where you can see Tryndamere with a lot of arrows in his body including one in his heart by the way but he is still alive now canonically in the lore we are not exactly sure what the rage is about we know that aatrox probably has nothing to do with tryndamere anymore even though the in-game quote still suggests that it might be possible but as of right now in the Canon lore this godly power that Tryndamere has is kept a mystery to us and I assume that this is going to be something that will be revealed at some point but just notice that Tryndamere is going absolutely Apes and he's either fighting back the yetis or he is freeing them it is kind of hard to tell at this point next we have brittle steel of course this is an awesome image that shows you what happens to the subtle if you take a weapon that is crafted in something like Knox's and you take it up to Freljord of course it is not going to withstand a tough winter then we got our first item lor yes in legends of runeterra a lot of items do get its lore and here we got elixir of iron which of course is on summoners rift and we finally know that it is from freljord in fact look at the description rough out there eh not to worry the owl serves up a special brew so strong it'll pull the chill out of your bones and grow hair on the chest of a noob or the quote of a kindly tavern keeper notice that it says the owl serves up a special brew this will come back later because as I said the cards do have their own stories speaking of storytelling keep this image in your mind it is called the lowly poro a lifetime in the Freljord and still nothing more chilling than a sight of this sad fellow the quote of a perot herder remember this image it will come back later then we have omen hawk three times or rivers reach of rows and gates and three times there are met with ready bows what trickery warns them of our attacks the quote of scar st. Stefan now scar st. Stefan is a new character to us you can't find that person in the lore however he will reappear later in the cards and when it comes to the omen Hawk two possibilities here either the omen Hawks are just magical conjurations you know just like how ash can just spawn a hawk out of nowhere the other possibility is that these are real hawks they are not just magic but because in Freljord you have a lot of shamans and shapeshifters you get also people with similar powers to the works when you can warp into the eyes of a beast it is possibility that some of these shamans can actually use the eyes of the Hawks and I do believe that the shaman from Ash's comic did do this but I'm not entirely certain on that I'd way it is cool that the hawk of ash is explained here next we have unscarred rivers unscarred here means that they were not in battle and this is something like a tradition in the winter squad tribe if something was not in battle yet they are called the unscarred and you can see that the description even mentions rana scar mother this is another character that was not in the lore yet but we do have a card later so we will get to her as well next we have Yeti yearling this is pretty much just a small Yeti however this Yeti when in trouble can summon and rage the Yeti now the quote says that the yetis might not exist and that's because yetis are now somewhat of mystical beings most of the yetis stay away from humans because they know their cruelty but some of the yetis that our allies to humans were frozen with the frozen watchers so now yetis are almost non-existent also all of these pictures will show the yetis enraged or feral but keep in mind that yetis are actually really smart they are smarter than humans that's why every now and then the wisdom of a Yeti can be mentioned also these cards have their own storytelling notice how the quote is from Anna burrows and trapper this will come back later next we have a burrow since century there is nothing really special here it's a number of sand troop that is looking over in a burrow Sin City but there is also the spell and treat which is pretty much just the Horn of the Averroes and century then there is feral mystic and this is where things start to get interesting you see Freljord is full of shamans and shapeshifters now note the vast iron shapeshifters that's a category of its own but in Freljord you have people that can shape into animals usually these are bears wolves and in some cases stags the feral mystic here is one of two things either this is one of those shamans who can shape into animals and looking at the bear above him you can see that he's probably trying to shape into a bear or this can be a follower of the volibear because the religion worshipping the volibear is like an extreme version of shape shifting the volibear is this prime Force in freljord and nobody really knows what it even is some people can see the volibear as these horrifying visions but the new road map revealed that the volibear may actually also be just a normal demigod so right now we are not sure what the volibear actually is but it is still possible that this shaman may be a follower of the volibear or it is just a normal shaman next we have ice veil archer the description doesn't reveal anything new is just an archer of the upper ocean then there is shredder also just normal card with a quote from Scarface Stefan also a person that will return later then there is talking wolf and this card is awesome because it actually gives us a for the audience saying you cannot make a wolf from hare which is awesome world building but also this card will summon the itself and when we have a look at the description of the hair it has a difference a wolf or hair winter makes prey of all of us again awesome world building then we have the starlet's ear the description is nothing special it is just giving boons to our osun's however you may remember this guy because he appeared in the art of ash you can see him here in the abraded version on the right then we have the wording stones now I didn't know what wording meant so I had to google it and apparently it is a really old word from the north and mythos so if you don't know what this means it's pretty much a word connected to fate so in this case here these stones might be either giving visions or in other words they may be revealing fate or die's serve as gravestones because they might be preserving faith I'd way again you can notice horns on these stones which may be connected to lissandra and something else that will appear later next there is an uber rose and marksman now this guy appeared on the left side of Ash's art the core is basic infraorder can hunt or you can starve which is pretty much the only way you can live there also I have no idea if this is actually real but can someone tell me is this how you shoot a bow I don't know a lot about archery styles but I notice that a lot of Averroes ins do hold the bow like this where the string is actually going over the hand if anyone knows I would love to know if this is actually an archery style because usually you want to hold the bow so that the string is actually under the hand so you can pull the string towards your chest then there is a Burroughs and trapper and this is where we get our first storytelling from the cards the description says caught nothing all week either those beasts are on to me or something scare them off and of course this card also summons the enraged Yeti so the trapper is trying to catch animals but these animals are scared away by the Yeti also the a burrows and trapper head is quote towards this little Yeti next we have flash freeze nothing special here but this is a direct reference to this Andrus quote flash freezes easily then we have ice-born legacy we view our ice-born our bloodlines infused with Freljord magic our ancestors locked away an ancient evil and now we feel stand guard to defend against its return quote from gray or The Guardian of course we know grey or because gray or is the ghost from the holding abyss the guy with the horn that serves as shopkeeper is grilled Guardian and he is standing watch there to sound the horn shoot the Watchers return then we have kindly tavern keeper and this is a part of a massive story told by the cards from the description you can notice that the tavern is called tipsy owl and of course we saw tipsy owl in the one-and-only ayran elixir or Alex Roth IRA it says that that is served by the owl by which they of course mean the Tavor now what is cool did the tavern is called the tipsy owl because the tavern keeper has its own owl a pretty cool detail but don't worry this tavern will become crucial later on for now let's move on to my lip or Oh the first poro to be ever unique also with the pearls being now in the cards it does seem like burrows are finally canon in the lore either way this perot is unique because he lost his eye when protecting the Burrow King then we have rhyme Fang wolf again nothing special here it just says that the animals are waiting for people to get crippled by the winter and then we get scar st. Stefan the person who was mentioned in couple of cards before the description here tells his story i sealed my oath with the winters club and sejuani gave me my first scar every scar sins has been earned in her service and of course if you look at his body he has a lot of scars so it is obvious that scar st. Stefan is in the service of sejuani and he is part of the winter score then we have take hard a card it just reveals Brom superhuman strength we still don't know why he is so strong it is probably because he's also a nice born but other than that we don't know much then we have tall tales this is just a scribbling probably event of a child but I'd wait the child mentions and Coburg remember that name also the child is called in guarda younger but that won't come back later so you don't need to remember that just remember bjerk then there is art for the Avalanche it's just an avalanche they we have a burrows and outriders the description says that they became a lie to ash because ash brings peace now what is cool to me is that the a burrows and out riders are riding different animals it is not just el nukes which are the local Freudian goats you can also see some horses which are really rare in freljord so you can see that they are actually quite fluffy horses but then of course we get babbling bjerk and this is a crucial character remember him he is hard to not remember the description says you gotta believe me it was huge I tell you huge remember him then we have blood sworn pledge now the blood sworn pledge does have different variations depending on which nation you stand with for example sejuani and ash did make a similar pledge it was the pledge of the baedal sisters the blood sworn pledge is very similar I will be a torch in your heart a shield at your side let me find strength to protect us in our kin and may our lives flow together as the blood that seals its oath this is the quote to tryndamere who probably made a pledge to ash also look at those runic weapons those look incredibly cool then we have ball L look as I mentioned the L look our local friendly Orion goats but the description mentions a special L look there is a tail of old uncle L neck which is just a stubborn L look that likes to eat then we have catalyst of a owns the second item with its own war neither ruby nor say far surpasses the luster of the eon stone a brilliant gem with legendary restorative properties again now we know that this item is actually a gem from the Freljord with the power to regenerate bodies but then we have perot herder the description says a herd needs just two things love and company anything else is just fluffed now fluffed of course is what you call multiple Poros Poros don't have hurts they don't have flocks if you have multiple poles going in one direction it is called a pearl fluffed however remember when i told you to remember one of the previous arts with that one lonely burro sitting on the rock do you see that one poor o sitting on the rock now well once the winter came and everyone left this poor o was left behind then we have poro snacks the description says that you know pearls are adorable and so how could you not give them treats that's pretty much it then we have a burrows and horse guard which is pretty much just an average and warrior it's still pretty cool to see what the of arose an army actually looks like though and then we have heart of the fluffed the story says that long ago there was a burrow that offered Averroes a help now a burrows that didn't know how a single Perot could help her but the help became obvious as the Poros became stronger with pure numbers I just love the little guy with the goggles also in the previous art notice the archers those are pretty cool but also you can see our little Perot without the eye next we have rhymed ask shaman there's not much to say about this again shamans are common in fragile but this one looks like the shaman from Ash's comic then we have scar maiden River they are riding boars and they are burning villages of course they are with the winter's claw then we have tar cast the tribe less and oh my god does this card make me want more trolls in the game I feel like trolls are heavily underappreciated and star Kass the tribe less is only the third ever named troll we know trundle we know Greg Greg the hideous from the story of Brom and Tarkas the tribe blessed is the first troll unless you count Jax now the suspicious thing is that he seems to have four fingers I'll have to have a look at trundle again but I do think that trolls are supposed to have only three fingers anyway I love this art and I want more trolls in the game then we have l-look troops it's just goats then we have alpha wild claw notice that the wild claws don't have four legs they have six and the description says that they have the power of a war horse and the thoughtless savagery of a cat the next card is wind bursts it's just what Olivia does and then we finally get Skaar mother Brina again this is a brand new character and actually even the description doesn't tell us anything this is not set you on is matter this is not ashes mother this is a brand new character which is pretty cool because this gives right the freedom to have new characters become something bigger I just really like this art it really makes you understand what The Winter's claw is about they just raid villages and burn them down now there's a one car that I will ski for now we will come back to it later but for we need to have a look at ancient Yeti now the person at the bottom here do you remember that guy - do you remember him because that ladies and gentlemen is burek the description says what was that somewhat like a sneeze do glaciers sneeze of course the Yeti is frozen here because some of the yetis that are allied with the humans were frozen near the abyss with all the Watchers and the rest of the armies when the bell for Roger began so this Yeti is ancient because he is really really ancient the next card is I see Eddie and Oh would you look at that all the berg is here well after this you may think that when he was talking about something huge he was talking about the yetis but that's not true and we'll get to it later next we have pack mentality it's pretty much how the animals live here they live together or they die alone then we have winters breath this is another awesome world building the description mentions that some people may consider the winter itself a war mother just like Ashley Sandra or sejuani and the wind and the biting frost are the war matters blood war then there is a card for tryndamere's metal fury which just says I've been told that I have a temper then there is war mother's call there will come a day when an unmistakable call will resound throughout the Freljord on that day all will rise to answer it for it announces that ancient enemies have emerged once again of course the ancient enemies are the frozen watchers and since we are talking about the frozen watchers behold day who endure this is something for theorycrafting ah old bjerk has been through a bit lost his crew up north returned pale and gibbering months later now it's just giant beasts this and huge claws dead poor man quote from the tavern keeper now we are not entirely sure what these things are some people think that these are the frozen Watchers which I don't believe is the case I don't think that would be even possible the Watchers are supposed to be frozen in the holding abyss and this does not seem to be like the abyss this seems to be taking place in the far far north possibly across the canyon where any civilization even is but one thing is suspicious these things have the design of the old watchers back before there was any law at all right had this idea of the frozen watchers and they even gave them sign now it was never confirmed if this is what the watchers actually look like in fact there is highly improbable because the watchers are not even supposed to have physical forms they should have a form beyond what we can even imagine also the eye in the abyss doesn't really fit with these creatures so I think it is almost certain that these creatures can be the frozen Watchers I do believe that these are ancient void born and I have a reason to think this because the next card is she who wanders now this card turns everything upside down first of all she wanders therefore this creature is actually loose it is actually walking around and if it's walking around I doubt it can be a watcher because if a watcher went loose lissandra would know now it is also possible that these things are not connected to the void at all and that makes them even more peculiar now I really want to show you this concept art from the studio that made these cards this is what this creature actually looks like and oh my god those hands that go down the legs that looks like a creature from Dark Souls it is absolutely insanely mesmerizing but either way the description is interesting as well I dug myself out of the rubble to find a scar seared into the land around me smoldering ash lay where my companions had stood and in the distance looming form moved on quote from Bjork the wanderer now the scarring the land might be because it is a void born now remember the void born are disintegrating the land around them together it's information and bring it back to the Watchers so maybe this is actually a super powerful troupe of the void and it can fire freakin laser beam from the hole in its head to get her data just like velkoz either way this is a massive mystery and I love it this really is something that will become a massive thing for all Theory crafters again I don't think that this is a watcher but I do think that it might be connected the reason why it can have hands going down its leg is because as the void born disintegrated humans of course they gather their data and so when they were creating utter void born they might have been using the useful parts of humans you know their hands who knows maybe this is actually connected to the seal sister and maybe we have new kinds of demigods on our hands remember Freljord is not the most northern part of runeterra there is the true north as well and maybe deaths where these creatures are from maybe Annie via froze them to protect the land not lissandra like she did the Watchers anyway let's finish this video with the story of bjerk the wanderer the story goes that this little ship is björk ship he and his companions were traveling to the far north just like he usually travels to find yetis he was traveling north to discover more adventures but there they found these creatures and worst of all one of those creatures was moving and it simply evaporated all beards companions Bjork was now the only man alive with absolute madness before his eyes so of course he ran back to the tavern to tell everyone what he saw mem bling and babbling madness because he simply saw madness and of course it was huge but you can see that the lady is unimpressed but what we also know from the hand on her shoulder is that this is the exact same woman as this one and the hand on her shoulder is the babbling burg thus we came to a full circle with Berg the wanderer I really hope you enjoyed this video because I want to make more of these there are tons of cars in legends of Rome Terra and there are a lot of descriptions I should mention that none of this is confirmed to be directly canon and I say this because right is just covering their butts just in case there is a mistake and they need to correct it but we should probably take this as really awesome world building and unless something is going to be directly disproven by the universe of League of Legends we should take legends of runeterra as part of that universe with that said if you guys want tell me in the description which nation I should have a look at next the beta of legends of Ron Terra will be up for only three more days so I need to do this quickly so because this video is already too long thank you guys for being here and I'll see you next time hey did you know that we have social media and twitch where we talk about other League facts and stories and did you know that we have need MUX and shirts to the links to all of the we'll be below and as always thank you come again [Music] you
