Thanks to the huge amount of negative energy, various demon activities were reported.
The Rune Wars were major wars with massive conflicts arising from the powers brought about by discoveries about global rune fragments. It is also confirmed that the demons are not affected by the ruin, other than being temporarily in a "berseker" state over multiple ruins, something that not even aspects like Pantheon and Diana could truly resist. It is unknown whether it is necessary to use magic of a demonic nature, such as Yone's Azakana Sword, for such an act. Ī notorious weakness of Azakanas and Demons is that they can be sealed if their real name is discovered, although only Yone was able to actively use this option. Magic with a light attribute is likely to be adequate for dealing with demons, as Lux used her magic to drive out Nocturne.It is likely that Spirit Weapons can affect demons, as Shen is able to kill Azakans with his Spirit Blade and Yone was able to seal some azakanas using his name along with his Azakana's Blade, but it is not a confirmed information.Ī demon CANNOT be affected by ordinary weapons in the Physical World, except for weapons created from petricite. Tahm Kench and Evelynn manage to make their victims fall into obsessive cravings, leading them to their own disgrace.
He is a live transmorphic shadow that can adapt his body. Nocturne is described as an insubstantial form of unfathomable dread, terror manifested without any restraint. Evelynn built a physical form for herself after absorbing a lot of pain, while Fiddlesticks manifests through rubble and in different ways across Runeterra (he creates avatars similar to something Bard did when creating his physical form), as well as being able to imitate through the familiar voices of its victims and incite their fear and doubt. Demons, like most spirits, are known to be shapeshifters, they can change their appearance to better suit their own needs. The physical appearance of demons is inconsistent.
The true origin of the primordial demons is unknown, but we know that the first of them, Fiddlesticks, arose in the "cry of creation" itself. One left to scratch upon their mounds, The crow, alive and dead. Ten great kings took ten great thrones, Nine crowns adorned nine heads. In the poem, nine of the kings have crowns, but the First of Ten, Fiddlesticks, does not, despite being the oldest and most powerful of his brothers, It is also known that Evelynn is the Primordial Demon of Pain, Tahm Kench is also a primodial demon and Nocturne has become a primordial force of pure terror. The name "Ten Kings" comes from an old Demacian poem by an unknown author, which describes demons as rulers on thrones. Over the centuries, poems and legends have been passed down for generations to scare children or add an air of mystery around folk tales, although few really believe these tales to be true. Īs they are some of the oldest and most mysterious demons in all of Runeterra, not much is known about the origins of the Ten Kings, since they existed even before the existence of humans. If an Azakana successfully feeds, it will become a demonic entity, although this type of demon is not as powerful as a primordial demon.īecause of the Noxian invasion of Ionia, the excess of negative feelings caused an exacerbated increase in Azakana and demons in the archipelago, something that is being held back by the Kinkou and Yone.

Then they become a full demon or move onto another host that has a more rich flavor, so to speak. Īzakana are sort of parasitic minor demons, they're not full demonic entities like Evelynn or Fiddlesticks, they hone in on a single person or spirit's fear or shortcoming, and just absorb the negative emotions until they kill the host. When a spirit does not have a proper fate in the other world, his obsessions and negative feelings can overwhelm him, making him an Azakana.
