Tales of Runeterra: Ionia | “The Lesson”

What happens when an outsider destroys the balance of this land? Is this another one of your riddles, Old Man? A test, perhaps. A Noxian. You don't cut Guardian Trees. I’ll teach him a lesson. With your steel? You’re just a kid! S-stay away! Adorable. Wait. What’s happening? See as I see. Whoa. The boy has awoken the shrine’s protector. It is fueled by the anger of the forest. Akali no! The balance must be returned. Can’t we just bend the rules? He’s a kid! Please help me! Help me! Come on! Come on! Sorry kid. This thing wants your head. A trade. Bury it! What?! The seed. Plant it! Now! T'yeh tehn gaysh tee...work, damnit! If you hurt this land, it’s gonna hurt you back. Senn zee t'she so zyin.

They couldn't help themselves with the KDA Akali throwback could they.

Damn they really love neon Akali huh

This cinematic is a great introduction to Ionia’s philosophy. The way they interpreted Shen’s view of spirits was a welcome surprise. With this being the last region currently available in Legends of Runeterra, I’m curious to see where we go next (likely Bilgewater but I’ll take anything as long as I keep getting these cinematics)

This gives me strong Avatar the last airbender vibes.

Shen entering the spirit realm and the forest spirit protecting its land.

Akali ":Hes just a kid!"

Shen :" Did I fucking stutter"

Man Akali's really been nerfed, can't even 1v1 a krug.
