In a desperate attempt to save what he loved most, Viego brought Isolde to the Waters of Life on the Blessed Isles. Instead of freeing Camavor from a useless king, the blade found Isolde, and in doing so set the world down the path to ruin. Regardless, he doted on her, ignoring his duties as king and instead focusing on romancing the love of his life.īut because Viego was a shitty king of a shitty expansionist empire, he gained numerous enemies-one of which attempted to usurp Viego, by means of a poisoned blade. And, being a commoner, she accepts.”īrought up in a world where what you desire is yours for the taking, it’s hard to know whether Viego truly loved Isolde or loved that she was his. So when he sees this beautiful woman, Isolde, he knows he has to have her.
“Viego’s selfish and self-centered, young and immature, and he has a lot of power. He only received the crown after his older brother-Kalista’s father-died in battle,” Carnival Knights shares. “Viego was a young, untested king of Camavor who was never prepared for the role. But unlike Noxus, they have no interest in integrating with the societies they rule-they wish only to claim ownership. Inspired by Conquistador-era Spain with influences from Camelot, Camavor is an empire of aggressive conquerors. Camavor is a long-dead expansionist empire that existed on a continent far east of Runeterra. Second son to the King of Camavor, Viego knew only conquest and domination. What’s he like? What was his world like? What motivates him?” Pre-Ruination Viego concept for Ruined King: A League of Legends Story by art director Tyson Murphy “I started by thinking about the type of person who would throw away everything to save the woman he loves-which was pretty much all we knew about Viego at that point. So that meant we needed to create an entire civilization in addition to Viego” explains narrative lead Jared “Carnival Knights” Rosen. “Working on Viego was particularly interesting because he lived 1,000 years in the past in a nation that doesn’t exist in Runeterra. “I joked that we should make the Ruined King next to finish that storyline, and he looked at me and said, ‘That’s an amazing idea. Players loved seeing Senna, Lucian, and Thresh’s stories move forward,” recalls champion designer August “August” Browning. “After I finished Senna, our lead producer Ryan ‘Reav3’ Mireles made an offhand comment about how players seem to enjoy lore connections between champions, especially if they’ve heard about them for a while. Viego’s life and the events that led to the Ruination happened 1,000 years ago, and although its effects are still felt throughout Runeterra, it was never anything more than an unfortunate chapter in the world’s history. The Ruined King is one of the most iconic figures in League history.
