Targon

Targon refers to the region surrounding Mount Targon, a towering mountain in Runeterra, the world of League of Legends. The mountain and its surrounding lands are strongly associated with celestial phenomena and the worship of star-based powers. The term can describe both the geography and the people who inhabit the slopes and its temples, and it is frequently invoked in stories about ascension and cosmic forces.

Geography and environment: Mount Targon spans varied climates from lower foothills to high-altitude plateaus. The upper reaches contain ancient temples, observatories, and fortifications carved into rock. The skies are often clear, and the area is famed for star-related omens and celestial alignments that proponents say influence mortal destinies.

Culture and religion: The Targonians seek ascension to the celestial realm, and their society is organized around ascent rituals and devotion to celestial Aspects. Pilgrims undertake arduous journeys, hoping to borrow power from star-born entities. Those who succeed are said to become ascended, mediators between mortals and the celestial powers.

In fiction: In the League of Legends universe, Mount Targon and its celestial magic feature in multiple stories and game modes. The region is associated with several champions, including Leona, linked to the sun's Solari order, and Soraka, the Starchild connected to the celestial realm. Legends of Runeterra and other media also explore Targon's cosmic themes.
