promo.leagueoflegends/it/freljord/ Lore Freljord is an unforgiving place. A mountainous land covered in snow and ice, it is home to many vicious ice storms. Travel, especially in the winter, can be very dangerous. The elements often claim even those who have spent their entire lives there. Only one storm exceeds the ones found in Freljord: the Gelid Vortex - a swirling, icy maelstrom which circles the northern hemisphere of Runeterra. Map of Freljord There are 8 currently known areas of Freljord. Rakelstake, once a village where the Tribe of the Ice Dervish lived now serves as the capital of Freljord. The Gelid Vortex, a powerful maelstrom located north of Freljord, surrounded by mountains. The Ursine Village, found just below the Gelid Vortexs mountains. The Ironspike Mountains, a mountain range that stretches in a half circle, from just north of Noxus to Freljord at its northernmost point. It is also the location where AniviaSquare.png Anivia has made her home. The Avarosan Iceflow Glacier, somewhere beside the Gelid Vortex in the Ironspike Mountains. The Howling Abyss, a landmark where the Iceborn overthrew their oppressors now used as a Field of Justice by the Institute of War [2]. Lokfar, the peninsula where the Berserker, OlafSquare.png Olaf, lived, located north of Sejuanis territory. The Frostguard Citadel, where LissandraSquare.png Lissandra and her Frostguard keep Freljords artifacts, treasures and records of its history. Culture The Freljordians were once a divided people known as Iceborn (a race once thought to be extinct) with The War of the Three Sisters having left the denizens splintered for generations. The region was divided and dominated between three nomad tribes: The Tribe of the Frost Archer, The Tribe of the Ice Dervish and The Tribe of the Winters Claw, now known as The Avarosan, The Frostguard, and The Winters Claw respectively. Over the years the tribes would have occasional skirmishes with one another, though the reasons for why they continued fighting had been long forgotten by most. The tribes are ruled by the three Princesses: Ashe, the Frost Archer; Lissandra, the Ice Dervish; and Sejuani, the Winters Claw. In more recent times, with the crowning of their new AsheSquare.png Queen, the Freljordians have started the process of mending the bonds between their fractured tribes. Sentient creatures that were once marginalized and secluded, such as the Yetis and the Ursine, were now given a voice in city-states government. In addition, through the alliance established by their foreign TryndamereSquare.png King, the barbarian tribes of northern Valoran have migrated to Freljord and have begun integrating their own traditions into the Freljordian society. Factions Freljord has become a land of endless conflict since the War of the Three Sisters broke out. Even though Freljord already has a sovereign, tribal leaders still fight for it bringing with them their tribes. The Winters Claw tribe is led by the ferocious SejuaniSquare.png Sejuani. Sejuani wishes to conquer the Freljord through absolute strength. In her eyes, the Freljord is a place where only the strong deserve to prosper. As she raids, her warriors allow the stalwart to live under her banner while they pillage the weaker tribes, leaving them without the means to sustain themselves. Once her work is done, only the mighty will be left in the Freljord. Champions that have allied themselves with her are: OlafSquare.png Olaf, UdyrSquare.png Udyr, and VolibearSquare.png Volibear. The Avarosan are those whom are loyal to AsheSquare.png Queen Ashe. While others war, Ashe works day and night to establish a single alliance throughout the Freljord. Though her methods are peaceful, she is still backed by a powerful and committed army. Champions that have allied themselves with her are: Anivia Braum, Gragas, Nunu and Tryndamere. Hidden beneath an eternal winter, The Frostguard dwell deep in the ruins of the ancient Freljord. The Frostguard obey their leader; Lissandra. Concealed from the world in the far North of Freljord, the Frostguard archive of all Freljords archaic history. Though seemingly peaceful, the truth of the Frostguards allegiance is far more disturbed. The world had forgotten the terrible enemy that ruled the Freljord long ago and was cast into the depths of the Howling Abyss following a long and brutal battle. And now, whilst the ignorant sleep, Lissandra plots to return her masters to their former glory. Only the trolls and their king, Trundle have allied themselves with her. Relations with Noxus In light of the protections that the League has extended to Freljord - and consequently to the barbarians - Noxus issued a stand down order to troops dispatched to their Northern Barbarian Pacification Campaign. KatarinaSquare.png Katarina, the Sinister Blade, delivered the command herself. She stated that Noxus abides by the rules of the League, but that her people would not forget the offenses perpetrated by the barbarians. Relations with Demacia Demacia and the people that now make up Freljord have had a history of conflict, albeit nowhere near as grievous as the conflict between Noxus and the northern barbarian tribes. Both AsheSquare.png Ashe and TryndamereSquare.png Tryndamere have been highly critical of Demacia’s neutrality during Noxus’ Barbarian Pacification Campaigns. In fact, Demacia had been quite protective of its territory, turning away refugees during the campaign’s more bloody episodes. Likewise, Demacia’s northern homesteads were often times targeted by barbarian raiding parties. Both city-states have a great deal of diplomatic work ahead of them before they can bridge the gap that spans decades of distrust.
