In the tribe of Taliyah, when the children reach a certain age, they dance to the full moon, the symbol of the Weaver Mother. The dance celebrates the children's endowments and foreshadows the contributions they will bring to the tribe as adults. At the end of the dance, each child becomes an apprentice to a master, which is the starting point for their personal practice.

Taliyah has been deliberately suppressing her growing power, as she sees the secret as a threat rather than a gift from the heavens. She saw her young playmates spinning wool into velvet threads to keep the tribe's nights safe from the cold. They demonstrate their spinning and dyeing skills, or weave the legends of their tribes into beautiful pictures. For countless nights, the restless energy in her body caused Taliyah to lie in bed tossing and turning until the light of day burned out and the charcoal fire burned to ashes.

Finally, Taliyah ushered in her own dance under the moon. It was thought that she would either inherit her father's talents and become a shepherd, or a weaver girl like her mother, but she was deeply afraid of the truth revealed by her dance. Taliyah stood in the sand, beside her the tools of her people—a shepherd's scepter, a spindle, and a loom. She struggled to focus on the task at hand, but the distant rocks and the cascading colors of the earth called to her. Taliyah closed her eyes and began to dance. The energy flowed through her body and engulfed her completely, she seemed to be a spinning spool, but the ground beneath her feet was being held up.

A scream of horror shattered Taliyah's meditation. A sharp stone pillar rose from the ground and rushed into the sky in the moonlight. Taliyah couldn't help but relax when she saw the shocked expressions of the crowd around her. The stone pillars lost their support and began to collapse. Taliyah's mother rushes over to protect her only daughter. When the smoke cleared, Taliyah saw the disaster she had woven, and the wary look on her people's faces. However, her mother only had a few abrasions on her face, which made her feel a little comforted. Although the wound was not severe, Taliyah understood at that moment that her presence was a threat to the loved ones she loved so much in the world. She ran into the night, as if she had a boulder pressed down on her heart, and the ground trembled beneath her feet.

It was her father who found her in the desert. They sat in the dawn of their newborns, and Taliyah sobbed and revealed her secrets. And what the father did was also the most normal thing for parents in the world: he hugged his daughter tightly. He tells Taliyah that she can't escape her power and that she must complete the dance to see where her true path lies. The only thing that could hurt her parents was to turn their backs on the gift given by the Weaver Mother, and they would be heartbroken about it.

Taliyah followed her father back to the tribe. Her eyes widened and she joined the circle of dancers. This time, she weaved the stone into a ribbon, each color and texture coming from her memories of the people around her.

The dance was over, and the tribesmen sat down on the ground, filled with an atmosphere of awe. Taliyah waited nervously for someone of her clan to stand up and announce that she had been accepted as her student. Taliyah felt her heart beat like thunder, and every beat between beats was as long as it was eternal. She heard the sound of rubble scraping, and her father stood up. Then came her mother. Then there are Babayan, dyers, and spinners. In the blink of an eye, the entire tribe stood up. They were all standing beside the girl who could weave stones.

Taliyah looked at each of them. She knew that she had acquired a talent that no one had seen for years, if not centuries. They now stand with her, with love and trust, but their worries are also faithfully written on their faces. No one has heard the call of the earth like she did. Though she loved them dearly, she couldn't see anyone who could teach her how to control the surging elemental power. She knew that if she stayed with the tribe, she would be risking their lives. So, despite everyone's pain, Taliyah said goodbye to her parents and her people and set out on a long journey alone.

She traveled west towards the Giant God Peak in the distance, and the natural connection with the rocks led her to the peaks where the stars could be picked. However, on Shurima's northern border, a group of men carrying the Noxian flag first discovered her abilities. They tell her that in Noxus, her magic is a talent to be celebrated, even revered. They promised to find her a teacher.

If there's one thing the land where Taliyah grew up has taught her, it's unsuspecting trust. So, in the face of the Noxian's light commitment and skillful smirk, she was simply unable to parry. Soon, the girl who grew up in the desert was walking on a straight road, passing through countless majestic iron gates, known as Noxtola, to mark the land conquered by the Empire.

For the desert sparrows, the capital's crowded and complicated political relations undoubtedly suffocated her with fear. As if she had been paraded through the streets, Taliyah was inspected floor by floor in the magical community of Noxus. Many people have shown interest in her abilities and potential. But a depraved officer finally offered her convincing terms. He vowed to take her out to sea to the land of no one to test and use his abilities to the fullest. She gladly accepted the young officer's offer and boarded the big ship bound for Ionia. However, when the ship dropped anchor and stopped, she realized that she was nothing more than a weapon that gilded her face, allowing the hysterical officer to regain her high rank in the Noxian Navy. Early in the morning, the officer gave her two options: to bury the sleeping people alive, or to die at sea.

Taliyah scanned the bay, the village hearth still sleeping, not a trace of smoke in sight. This is very inconsistent with the knowledge she sought by trekking through mountains and rivers. Taliyah refused, and the officer threw her off the deck without hesitation.

She escaped the raging waves and the battle on the shore, only to find herself lost in the cold mountains of Ionia. And that's where she found her true teacher. His blade can manipulate the wind, and he knows the nature of the elements and knows the true meaning of balance. Taliyah trained with him for a while, and gradually began to learn to control her powers, which was exactly what she had been looking for.

While resting in a remote tavern, Taliyah hears news that Shurima's Ascended Emperor has returned to his kingdom of sands. It is rumored that the emperor has become a god, and that he will gather his former people, unite the divided tribes, and turn them back into his own slaves.
