The first Empyrean, Pyke, tears through the realms on a destructive rampage against his counterparts, birthing new Empyreans in the process. Who will reign supreme as these new powerhouses emerge, and what will they do with their rapidly dwindling time left?

Empyrean Akali

This chroma was released as a Loot exclusive in the 2024 Empyrean event.

Before her realm's destruction, Akali was rotting away in prison for a failed assassination attempt on a despotic warlord. Now on her own as an Empyrean, she views her newfound freedom as a sign to stop the evil she couldn't before. The realms need a defender, and Akali is determined to fight for them as long as she can.

Empyrean Brand

If the destruction of Brand's realm bent his mind, becoming an Empyrean broke it. To him, the randomness of being his realm's lone survivor and gaining the powers of a god prove that nothing truly matters. He could set fire to an entire planet or kill every version of his father. Everything is anarchy, and Brand is only too glad to spread it.

Empyrean Jax

This chroma was released as a Loot exclusive in the Worlds 2022 Event.

Hailing from a realm where he failed to protect his kingdom from annihilation, Jax was content to live in exile, until everything collapsed. Now an Empyrean, he knows that somewhere out there his kingdom is still intact. Even if it destroys him, he'll use all of his power to see his home one more time.

Empyrean Jhin

Jhin woke as an Empyrean with a sensation he'd never known before: true warmth. Exhilarated by the power, he set innocents ablaze with a flick of his hand. Finally, a muse worthy of him! The realization that “she” is slowly killing him only charms him more. Now if only he could find her source… 

Empyrean K'Sante

K'Sante prides himself on leading under adversity, but this is a challenge unlike any other. His realm is gone, he's living on borrowed time, and the other Empyreans don't realize that something released the Foreglow. Something bad. He knows only they can fix it, but they need their eyes opened. They need a leader.

K'Sante's always been a trailblazer on the fashion circuit, and this year he definitely wants to make the audience sweat. With his crystal-laden drip and flawless makeup, he's about to light a fire under this Gala.

Empyrean Kayle

Royal life for Kayle was one of blissful ignorance, while her sister pursued justice and equality for their subjects. After becoming the sole survivor of her realm, Kayle was awoken, and saw her fate as punishment for years of indifference. Now she doles out justice across the realms in tribute to her sister, though her methods are far more... severe.

When flames swept through Kayle's studio, at first she was overcome with grief. She had lost everything, but then realized that the fire freed her to do—and be—more. Now she returns to the Gala with her new line, Neon Flame, crossing styles, materials, and forms. Kayle has been reborn, and she will transcend everyone.

Empyrean Lux

Forced to live in squalor and shame for her magical abilities, Lux ironically escaped certain death when her realm collapsed. Now with the raw power of the Foreglow, she's free. It doesn't matter that she's on her last legs: she intends to live and experience as much as she can before the fire consumes her.

Empyrean Malzahar

Malzahar is the self-proclaimed Voice of the Foreglow. Traveling from realm to realm, he announces that the Empyreans are symptoms of a greater sickness, the fever designed to fight an infection festering across the dimensions. Whether Malzahar truly speaks for the neon flame is anyone's guess, but for now, he's only just warming up.

Empyrean Nocturne

A nightmarish dimensional parasite, Nocturne was drawn to the Foreglow and—as it burrowed its way to the power's raw form—inadvertently created the first dimensional collapse and the first Empyrean, Pyke. With the Foreglow corrupting its original appearance, Nocturne seeks to experiment further with the Foreglow and find new ways to feed its hunger.

Empyrean Pyke

Pyke remembers little before falling into the embrace of the Foreglow, only that he was defending his home. Waking in a new realm as the first Empyrean, he hears the whispers of other Pykes across the dimensions, taunting him from their homes. Why was his lost and not theirs? No answer will satisfy his searing rage, except vengeance.

Empyrean Varus

Having lost his family, Varus was already consumed by vengeance when his realm collapsed. Not only did he survive, due to Nocturne's meddling, but two visiting Empyreans, Kai and Valmar, were absorbed into his bow. With the Foreglow stoking his rage, Varus vows to wipe out every last Empyrean, no matter what his new "friends" say.

Empyrean Vex

Vex didn't need anyone. Growing up alone, she was self-sufficient and annoyed by most people. Her realm's destruction barely made her blink, but her new Empyrean powers did give her an idea. By empowering her own shadow, she finally had a companion she tolerated. Vex may not need anyone, but then again, misery loves company.

Empyrean Zac

The Foreglow affects everyone differently. For Zac, it burned away all of his insecurities, but opened up his senses to the loneliness felt by the other Zacs across the realms. They needed him, and now he has the power to bring everyone together as one. A family reunion for the ages.

Empyrean Zed

The Foreglow is a power many desire, but Zed resents how it exposes him. His is a strength born from darkness, away from prying eyes. Perhaps in the fallen Husk realm left in Pyke's wake can he build a new domain of shadows, one that no Empyrean can topple.

Few know of the Foreglow, and even fewer have seen its volatile neon flames. Normally a cosmic balancing force, something has tipped the scales, causing realms to collapse and funnel the Foreglow's power into single beings. Now known as Empyreans, these otherworldly forces of nature blaze a trail through the realms, each with their own agenda. The fire is spreading, with no end in sight.
