Fiona, known as Demaciale's duelist, is known for her sharp swords and spicy eloquence. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoShe prides herself on having the aristocratic elegance she has cultivated since childhood, and believes in perfection. There's no one in her hometown who can beat it, so she's on the run for stronger opponents. The purpose of her existence is to make people around the world recognize her talent.
The Laurent family has been at the best of duels for centuries, and as one of the youngest members of the Laurent family, Fiona believes that she is naturally destined to be the strongest representative.
Shrouded in her father's glorious legend, Fiona began training in swordsmanship from the day she was able to lift a weapon, and quickly showed a talent far beyond her peers. Fiona's peers find that her self-confidence slowly turns into pride, but instead of listening to the advice of others, she tries harder to make herself a legitimate successor.
However, her faith may have gone in the wrong direction. Fiona's father, on the eve of a duel, was caught pouring chronic paralyzing poison into his opponent's drinking water. His actions destroyed the family's reputation, and Fiona's honor collapsed in the midst of everyone's questioning.
Desperate to save her reputation, she asks her biological father for a duel. Although he used to be proud of his strength and demeanor, he has now forgotten what it means to be a true duelist. She knocked out her father and put her sword to his chest, demanding power over the House of Lorent. He surrendered, but Fiona understood that the suspicion of the world would only continue to erode her glory like a shadow.
In order to grasp her fate, she vows to surpass her father's hypocritical legend and become the strongest duelist in Demacia, no! is Valoran's strongest duelist
Sea Beast Sacrifice -
Aloy is a man of great physique, but he will only bend before her unwavering faith. As the seer of the sea beast, she wields a giant golden idol to drain the souls of her enemies from her body, completely destroying their perception of reality. All who challenge the "True One of Naga Kaporos" will soon discover that Aloy is never alone - the gods of the Anaconda Islands will fight alongside her.
Everyone who has seen Eloy has been struck by her physique. This priest was never shy about expression and was fully immersed in the experience of life. If you want it, you will take it, and if you hate it, you will destroy it; She is obsessed with everything that makes people linger.
However, if you want to truly understand her, you must understand the teachings for which she dedicated her life. Naga Kapoulos is the deity she longs for. In the usual description, it is a large, friendless sea monster with tentacles curling over its head and neck, cruising back and forth in a never-ending manner. People would also call her the Mother Snake, the Sea Beast, or the Bearded Lady. Naga Capolos is both the god of life in the Anaconda Islands, the storm of the deep sea, and the supreme movement itself. (The true meaning of the name should be "the endless monster that moves the sky and the sea.") At the heart of the doctrine are three tenets: that every soul is born a servant of the universe; All the desires of life are planted by the universe; The universe is surging forward, all because all things draw from it to pursue their own desires.
The low-ranking priests had a variety of tasks, such as cleaning temples, calling the serpent, teaching the way of Naga Kapoulos, and so on. As a true member of the sect, Aloy directly serves her gods, removing all obstacles to the continuous flow of the universe. As a result, she is burdened with two major responsibilities at once.
First, in the war against the undead, the true is the spearhead. The undead are seen as a blatant provocation to Naga Capolos because they are outside the normal flow of the universe. While the other priests of the Mother Serpent are busy protecting the inhabitants of the Night's Eclipse, the True One rises to the black mist and relies on the Sea Beast's most powerful intent to repel it.
Second, Aloy needs to find people with potential and test them with the trials of Naga Kapolos. That's Eloy's job. Borrowing the huge sacred relic "Shenxi" in their hands, the true ones strip the human soul from the body, forcing the subjects to face their own torture and prove their qualifications. Although she knew very well that failure in a trial meant total annihilation, Mother Serpent could not tolerate cowardice, hesitation, or restraint. It must be understood, however, that destruction is by no means an end in itself. The surviving subjects will be forever changed and will heartily follow their true destiny.
Although Aloy was the most powerful and revered of the true beings of the centuries, she broke the tradition that had always been so proud of her: after she was admonished to become a true one, she left the golden temple of Barjou with majestic divine powers and stepped onto the sewage-ridden city of Bilgewater.
This pirate city is the only place in the Anaconda Islands where outsiders are allowed to land, and for this reason the Eloy people are disgusted. The former Truthful completely ignored the existence of the city, and regarded the Outlanders as creatures that were only slightly better than the undead. So when she tried to protect the inhabitants of Bilgewater, she was violating her own traditions. What's even more exaggerated is that Aloy even thinks that there are souls here who can pass the trial. Despite this, only a handful of temples have been built in Birgewater, and few "little pink faces" (a contemptuous term for the islanders' landdwellers) can set foot in them. Either way, it was Aloy who brought the teachings of the Serpent Mother to Bilgewater, allowing them to take root, and it was her unbreakable will that allowed the ideas of the sect to be sown.
Rumor has it that Bilgewater's most notorious bloodthirsty pirate was once grieved by this tower-like priest. Not at all a surprise to anyone who has met her. Eloy's rugged demeanor lurks wisdom, strength, and admirable confidence.
Many people were impressed by Eloy's charm and welcomed her to Bilgewater. However, everyone was afraid of being chosen by the Sea Beast Priest as the next person to participate in the trial.
"All your life, we are the ones who move."
-- Quoted from "The Twenty Proverbs of Naga Capolos"
Tidal Sea Spirit-
Centuries ago, an aquatic race called the Kemar built a city under an undersea mountain range in the Sea of Conquerors, the Anaposs, and although the Kemar had many enemies, they were protected by an impregnable fortress. Because of the transcendent security that the city provides, the people of Kaima are becoming complacent.
However, a member of the Kema tribe named Fiz still harbors the spirit of exploration that cannot be satisfied with a peaceful life. This nature makes it completely unable to resist the temptation of thrills, so Fitz often sneaks out of the city to explore on his own. After enduring all the dangers, Fitz grew into a seasoned warrior.
One day, when Fitz returned from his expedition, he was shocked to find that Anapos had been breached, and his people had disappeared as if they had never been in this world. With no reason to keep Fitz in the empty city, he retrieved a magical trident from the ruins and set out on his own journey. For several years, Fitz roamed the oceans, and although he was only a young boy, he was able to stay alive with the life skills he had learned during his expeditions. Eventually, Fitz discovered the port of Bilgewater and fell in love with it. This was the first time he knew that there were species above the water's surface, and Fitz decided to explore the island because he couldn't resist the temptation of the unknown. Because of its striking appearance and excessive curiosity, some of its actions while exploring Bilgewater have affected the normal life of the locals, and have angered many Bilgewater people, and some have even offered to reward it for its head. Fitz realizes what a dangerous situation he finds himself in, and although he really likes the place of Bilgewater, he decides to cut his heart and go back to the ocean. When he reached the harbor, a giant dragon shark attacked the harbor, and Fitz used his knowledge of the creature to easily defeat the monster. After this accident, the people of the port had a sense of gratitude and respect for Fitz. Since he was no longer in danger, Fitz decided to stay in Port Bilgewater.
The Death Carol -
Karthas is a terrifying creature.
He was once a mortal and so obsessed with death that he longed to embrace the gift of the dead.
Now, as a lich, Karthas is one step closer to the death of his beloved than he was when he could only dream about it. He commands the magic of annihilation, trying to bring his terrible truth to the rest of the world: only death can give life clarity and purpose.
As a young boy, Karthas was different. Within him, there was a darkness that could not be refused. The little boy clings to the darkness and deliberately avoids being in the company of others. He sneaks into strangers' funerals and talks to their tombstones in the cemetery.
He searched for the carcasses of animals to preserve and commemorate them, and kept them as a horrific collection of sick art. Karthas volunteered to care for the dying, although his intention was not to help, but to keep an eye on the dying of those who were terminally ill. In the end, he went to great lengths to plan his death, and secretly watched his own funeral with intense fascination. When the others found out what Karthas had done, they were very surprised and disturbed because in a way, Karthas was really dead to them. Karthas found himself completely ostracized by the creatures.
His isolation only fueled the fire of his obsession. Karthas went deeper into death and became obsessed with the lore of the Isle of Shadows. There, it is said that the ghosts of the dead still live forever in another form. Captivated by these legends, Karthas knew he had to check for himself if they were true. On his journey to the islands of fear, Karthas soon finds himself wandering in the fog and being conquered by the surreal beauty of the place. It was like he was back at home. He is always chasing the elusive purity of the moment of death, and when life is gone, the individual immediately gains meaning. Karthas saw that the undead, like that moment, were permanently preserved by a terrible stillness. He discovers that his destiny is to cross that veil and leave the living beings to the afterlife. That day, something on the Isle of Shadows awakened, just when Karthhas did something that no other creature had ever done: he gladly surrendered his life to the undead. By the time he returned to the world, Karthas had become the embodiment of his obsession. An undead lich with a key to life and death who wants to bring his dark requiem to the world.

The prologue of the last volume was originally intended to be written from Wayne's point of view, but for various reasons, the author had to paste and copy the background stories of several important heroes, and now the author is still entangled, and there are still a few heroes whose background stories I don't know whether to write them in, if there is only the main line, there are still a few heroes who won't even have a background story!
PS: The above four heroes all represent an attribute~ Even if it is water, the author wants water to be meaningful!
