LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

Lore & Flavor

Ill omens do not merely whisper through the void; they scream of an impending breach. She was once a woman, but her form was twisted, her sanity shattered, and her very essence reshaped by the abhorrent torment of Leshrac. Plunged into a profound madness and crushing depression by his sinister arts, she sought a desperate, peculiar solace in darkness. She knew only one place familiar to this consuming malice: the outer reaches of the cosmos, a realm beyond the rim, where existence itself thins into the abyssal depths. There, she found not judgment, but a terrible, easy acceptance. Embracing the consuming unknown, she allowed herself to be wholly subsumed. At first, there was only the crushing vacuum of non-being, then a brief, terrifying turquoise glow, and finally, nothing remained of her original self. Her very elemental coil, her essence, was swallowed by the abyssal dark, a vast, sentient horror that now assumed total dominion. Yet, the oblivion was incomplete. Her memories, her self – every shard of injustice, every echo of sadness, and the burning wrath kindled by Leshrac's torment – did not perish. Instead, they became the resonant consciousness within this newly manifested Outer Horror. It is the abyssal dark that now walks, but it understands her. It feels her torment. It is the chilling culmination of her shattered will, now driven by a singular, consuming purpose: What was taken will be returned, and with a great price. The impossible has occurred. The darkness has been irrevocably breached. Horrors, formless and ancient, have entered the inner space, and the door to chaos has been flung wide open. For too long, Outworld Devourer sounded his alien warnings, his dire prophecies of incursions from the Outer Dark dismissed as madness. Now, as reality buckles under the strain, the chilling truth resonates: we were warned.

Damn, this is cool. The looks remind me of OD and he looks like he would fit very nicely into the game. His kit is very interesting and unique. Would really love to see this as a future hero. We need more agility heroes anyways and its cool cause he seems to be able to be a support that builds attack damage to help his team.

Thank you. That was exactly my intention, creating a hard agility carry that can also support his team. Thought it was unique.

frenky Author replied 3 years ago
And yeah I also really liked this picture (props to the artist). So I tweaked the colors a bit and thought that matching its lore with OD and Leshrac would be cool.

The Ult is extremely unique and opens up a lot of fun scenarios, and the W and E are absolutely excellent in design. I really like the idea of a blink that is only semi-controllable. Great stuff!
