Frustrated, Olaf didn't give up and set out again to hunt down every legendary creature with claws and fangs, hoping that the next battle would be his last. Whenever he lunges towards the death of his dreams, he is saved by the blood of rage and takes him out of the brink of death.

Olaf concluded that no beast could make him die in accordance with his status as a warrior. His solution is to challenge the most feared tribe of Freldrudry: the Claws of Winter. Sejuani was amused by Olaf's single-handedly challenging her warband, but his audacity would not win him any mercy. She had her men charge, and prepared to take credit for the warriors who had taken down Olaf. But one by one, they fell, and Olaf lost himself in bloodlust again, slicing a bloody path to the leader of Winterclaw, without difficulty. Sejuani shook the glacier, and despite Olaf's seemingly unstoppable appearance, Sejuani fought him to exhaustion. As they reached a stalemate, Sejuani's glaring pierced the haze of Olaf's battle, something no weapon had been able to do until then. His rage subsided, and Sejuani could finally make a suggestion to him: Sejuani swore that she would bring Olaf to his glorious death, but only if he and his axe contributed to her conquest. From then on, Olaf solemnly declared that he would engrave his inheritance into Freljord.

Demacia is a powerful, law-abiding nation with a glorious military history. The ideology of justice, glory, and duty is highly valued here, and the people here are strongly proud of it. Demacia was a subsistence agrarian society, with fertile arable land, vast uncut forests, and mineral-rich mountains dotting the territory. Demacia inherited a tradition of xenophobia and isolation, in part because of frequent harassment by barbarians, bandits, and other civilizations that were invasive. Some believe that Demacia's golden age is behind it, and that unless it can adapt to the changes of the new era, which many believe is impossible, it will inevitably decline. Despite the controversy, Demacia remains one of the most dominant political forces on Valoran, boasting the most elite and well-trained army in the entire Runeterra.

"I'm not rebellious. I am a true Demacian. ”

~The liberated

Growing up in the small town of Biangou, Silas is now a representative of the dark side of Demacia. When he was a boy, the feared Demon Seekers discovered that he possessed the ability to sense mages, and took him under control, using it against Silas' ilk. Having escaped from life, Silas is now a staunch disobedient man who uses the power of a mage to destroy the kingdom he once served... The number of mages who were exiled and came to follow him increased day by day.

As a mage and born into a poor family in Demacia, Silas of Sideditch can be said to have almost ended his life at the beginning. Despite his humble social status, his parents remained steadfast supporters of the idea of the kingdom. So, when they found out that their son was "enchanted", they persuaded Silas to turn himself in to the Demon Seeker.

The Demon Seeker discovered that the boy had a magical ability to perceive magic, and used him to find the mages in the city-state. For the first time in her life, Silas felt useful. He was steadfast in his mission and wanted to be loyal to his country throughout his life. He is proud, but also lonely - he has no contact with anyone but his own discipline.

Silas gradually realizes that the existence of magic is far more pervasive than Demacia is willing to admit. Even among the big families and famous families, he could detect the glimmer of hidden magic flickering. And some are the most radical representatives of the slander of mages. However, only the lowly ones were punished, and these dignitaries seemed to be completely above the law. This hypocritical system sowed the first seeds of doubt in Silas's mind.

In the midst of a dangerous event, as fate would have it, Silas' many doubts finally exploded. At that time, he stumbled upon a mage in hiding in the countryside. But when Silas found out that she was just a little girl, he felt sympathy. He tried to protect the girl from being taken away by the Demon Seekers, but accidentally touched her skin. The girl's mana poured into Silas's body in an instant—not killing him, but squirting uncontrollably out of his palm. It was a talent he hadn't even been aware of. However, the result was the loss of the lives of three people, including his discipline.

Knowing that he would be taken for a murderer, Silas went on the run. Soon he became famous: one of the most dangerous mages in all of Demacia. As you can imagine, the Demon Seeker didn't show any mercy when he found him.

Although Silas was still a minor, his sentence resulted in life imprisonment. He was forced to wear heavy shackles made of forbidden stones and was tormented in the darkest dungeons of the Demon Seekers. His ability to sense magic was stripped away, and his heart slowly became hard as stone. Silas dreamed of getting revenge on those who had hurt him.

He spent fifteen miserable years in the Black Cell, until one day a young Illuminator began to visit him. Her name is Laxana. Even though Silas was shackled, she realized that she was actually a powerful mage. Gradually, a very unusual relationship was secretly established between the two men. In order to learn more about how to control magic from Silas, Lux tells him a lot about what is happening in the outside world and brings him books he wants to read.

Finally, through clever inducement, he succeeded in convincing the girl to smuggle a forbidden tome into the dungeon. This is the original work of the great sculptor Du Lang, which records in detail the principle and application method of the forbidden magic stone.

Silas learns the secret of the Forbidden Stone from the book. While this was Demacia's key to fighting dangerous magic, he discovered that the Forbidden Stone did not suppress magic, but absorbed energy into the seal.

Silas couldn't help but wonder, if the magic was sealed in the Forbidden Stone, then there was a way for him to release it again?

As long as there is a source of magic...... Like Lux.

But she never came to visit Silas again. The Crowned Guards, who knew of their relationship, were furious that Lux had dared to disobey the law and associate with this despicable criminal. Silas was sentenced to be hanged.
