The Ballad of Gazelle and Hyena

By Harvey Bickett

Kindred is the League of Legends character that made me fall in love with the game. Their color story “A Good Death” inspired me to not only play League of Legends but rekindled my desire to tells stories and write worlds into existence. The lore of Runeterra tells that every faction and region of Runeterra recognizes some form of the Kindred myth. In Ionia its a girl and her wolf or a Snake and a Sparrow, in Bilgewater its the Minnow and the Jaull- Fish and in Shurima they are Gazelle and Hyena. League of Legends isn’t the type of game to have lore pickups but Riot Games is developing an MMO set in the world of Runeterra. So I present to you a battered and dusty tome that can be found in the inventory of a nomadic shopkeeper as your character traverses the sands of Shurima.
