[CENTER]Baelrog, the Molten Shadow[/CENTER]
Lore:
Banished from the flow of time long ago by the Chronokeeper Zilean, Baelrog's shackles came undone. The creature born of shadow and fire appeared suddenly in the ruins of the present day desert of Urtistan, only to see that his purpose was complete...but also long forgotten.
The product of warfare, Baelrog is a mixture of the two aspects tied to it. Fire and darkness were in high supply in the early days, and both were effective at what they did best. It was only a matter of time until the ancient summoners figured out how to meld the two aspects to birth a creature of such awesome might and power. Countless victories were won from the flames of Baelrog that were able to conjure any weapon in the form of fire, but he was considered more of a weapon of war, a tool, used time and time again from one summoner to another. Realizing his potential rather than purpose, he decided at the end of a battle to free himself from his current master. After razing a tower that held an enemy summoner, he quickly turned his deadly onslaught onto his masters and the minions they controlled, burning the flesh clean off their bones and cleaving their bones from their bodies all the same.
"Freedom", He spoke for the first time in his unearthly voice. Surveying his surroundings, he became disgusted at the vegetation and the various constructs of the world. It all had to die. It all had to be destroyed. Nothing else mattered for Baelrog, and in that instant he set out to destroy the world, little by little if he had too.
He came across the city of Urtistan, gazing hungrily at the destruction he would soon lay. Without warning a block of the walls that encircled the city exploded, crumbling down. Baelrog entered in,expanding his dark wings and releasing a deathly roar of destruction and fire until a summoner confronted him. Their fight was a long one, lasting through the night and well into the next day and Baelrog felt as if victory was slipping from him. In a last attempt to destroy the mage, Baelrog channeled the hate and darkness in him to be let off in one humongous blast. The Chronokeeper, acting responsively, prepared a channel of his own. He was going to banish the creature to the grains of time. Feeling the pressure build, Zilean had successfully banished Baelrog right before he released his raw magics. Oblivious to what happened, Baelrog assumed the glassed area around him was totally obliterated, and the mage with it. With nothing left standing or in sight, he made his way about the world, drawn to the power that was the league of legends.
