On the League of Legends Universe Homepage, which deals with the history and background of the popular MOBA, the first indications of the next champion have now appeared.
If you click on the horn on the Universe page, you land on a subpage with the matching Freljord song, along with a poem. Orrn, the Mountainsmith is mentioned in this poem, which probably already betrays the name of the newcomer.
League of Legends - Orrn, the Mountainsmith
- Dark smoke exhales, from the mountain half
- And wind blows through hollow dells
- Skies clear as day, shall soon turn gray
- And you'll know, you're nearing Ornn
- Barring your path is a chasm wide
- Howls rise from fathomless pits
- But close stands a bridge, frozen by time
- And across, you'll soon find Ornn
- River of fire, that scorches the earth
- Belies his kingdom of stone
- And steel sings its tone, as a god stands alone
- The shaping hand, we know as Ornn
- Sparks leap and fly from the star-fallen ore
- Forging his works, divine
- Bellows erupts, with unbridled force
- No longer lost - THe Mountainsmith, Ornn
If you interpret the poem a little generously, you could even see indications of your abilities in it.
For example in the 2nd paragraph there is evidence of a gap, this could be a crowd control ability. Paragraph 3 with the "River of Fire" a possible flame trail like something Corki's Valkyrie. If the last paragraph refers to his ultimate, we might expect a group buff (“unbridled force”).
This is all just speculation so far and the community on Reddit is finding a ton of possible ideas. Only the future will tell us what the new hero will look like and play himself in the end. We have added a video with the song for the League of Legends Ornn at the beginning of the article.
