Darkins

The Darkin are a fictional group of powerful, ancient beings originating from the world of Runeterra in the League of Legends universe. They are ancient warriors who were once mortal but were corrupted by a dark magic known as the Void. This corruption transformed them into beings of immense power, but also drove them mad and imbued them with a insatiable thirst for destruction.

Initially, the Darkin were not inherently evil. They were champions who fought in a great war against a consuming force. However, during this conflict, they were exposed to the corrupting influence of the Void. This encounter twisted their essence, turning them into the monstrous entities they are today. Each Darkin possesses a unique personality and set of abilities, reflecting their original mortal selves and the nature of their corruption.

The Darkin are often depicted as being trapped within artifacts, such as weapons or amulets. Over time, these artifacts have been discovered by various individuals, who then become hosts for the Darkin's essence. This process allows the Darkin to regain a physical form and influence the mortal world once more, often with devastating consequences. Their primary goal is typically to reclaim their former power and exact vengeance on those they believe wronged them. Their stories are central to many of the lore elements within the League of Legends universe, often serving as antagonists or morally ambiguous figures.
