Some believe the Gatekeeper takes the shape of a fox. Some see other animals—but her role in all tales remains the same. A capricious, whimsical spirit who treats the fates of the living as a game of chase, she offers a path to salvation for souls who seek their final rest… but she will not intervene should they stray.

A young warrior's master warned her of the world's cruelty and the dispassion it required, then told her to cut out her heart. But when she raised the blade, she could not do it.

Twin spirits herald the day's end in one version of an old Ionian tale. They are brother Midnight and sister Moonlight, two sides of a heavenly coin.

Spirit Blossom Ashe

Myth tells of the Wandering Queen, whose curiosity led her to trade places with the Grovemother.

There once was a princess as clever as she was beautiful, who harbored a bitter feud with her sister.

A soldier claimed a magical axe among his spoils of war. The axe gave him great strength, and he decimated his enemy before he was ignobly struck down.

The Sorrow Eater offered to dine freely on her desires and memories—and when she was sated, the woman was at peace, free of pain…and of feeling.

Spirit Blossom Hwei

It is said, the Artist roams—obsessed with the soul's liminal space, where light and dark collide. He wields kanmei and akana essence to reveal the heart of those he paints. Chancing upon a divine temple, he painted its guardian Archer. But the portrait twisted into pure rage—a lesson to be true to oneself, lest the Artist expose what lies beneath.

Spirit Blossom Irelia

The Ready Hand was a devoted bodyguard to the Wandering Queen. Yet when her duty to protect was eclipsed by a desire to see her queen happy, calamity followed. The kingdom fell, and the queen died in her arms. Now, as an akana spirit, the Ready Hand roams the endless night, burdened by regret.

When the Wandering Queen died, she was buried beneath the tree planted on the day she was born—a tree said to watch over her for all her days. She awoke in a world beyond, clutching one of its branches, which she shaped into a sacred bow. As the branch bloomed, the guardian tree revealed its spirit—a friend who'd been with her all along.

Spirit Blossom Kayle

The First Spirit shaped two sisters—one from the sturdy bough of a tree, the other from its ephemeral bloom—and named them the Branchwardens. The first was steadfast and just.

When a kind young woman freed a trapped creature—a spirit in disguise—she was offered a single treasure. Among dazzling riches, she chose a plain gray stone, told it could help many. It was no stone at all, but a shell with two glowing pearls. In her hands, they became a staff of light, a gift the Lady of Pearls now uses to guide others through darkness.

Spirit Blossom Master Yi

The Lonely Master took but one apprentice in his lifetime and poured all of his wisdom into him, believing he had found a successor.

Thus he was doomed to search forever in vain for his lost pupil—the sole heir to his legacy.

The Tale of the Wise Cat is told in many ways across Ionia, but all begin the same: “There once was a cat who lived far beyond her years...” Though age brought power, allowing her to shift form between feline and mortal, her questions only deepened. She searched for answers, unaware that the wisdom she yearned for had always lived within.

Spirit Blossom Riven

A blademaster of old was famed for cutting down hundreds in battle without mercy.

A lover of tricks both benign and onerous, the Prankster King has graced Ionian fables for millennia.

Prestige Spirit Blossom Teemo

Spirit Blossom Thresh

Ionians often speak of the Soul Collector in hushed warnings—for it is he, this obsessive spirit, whom they believe tempts the dead away from their path to salvation. “Beware his greed,” they say, for those he finds and entraps will be locked away for eternity, baubles in his prized collection of souls.

Spirit Blossom Tristana

Those who seek glory, or something akin / Little Laughing Luck will greet with a grin / She harbors no favorites, no motives to name / All are equal when playing her game / An unfruitful harvest, the farmers attest / Has no better spirit than her to redress / But steady your hand, or pay a great price / For fortunes can change with a roll of the dice…

The Ashen Caretaker was once a man who, alongside a timid fawn, tended to a sacred forest with the utmost care—until it burned to the ground before his eyes.
