Who they are
Kled is a yordle from Bandle City who claims to have fought in every major Noxian campaign and carries many self-proclaimed military titles. Legend says he charged alone into the First Battle of Drugne on his drakalops mount and inspired a demoralized army to victory.
Today he wanders battlefields defending what he considers his property and posts "Property of Kled" signs on newly conquered land. His mount Skaarl is his only trusted companion.
Their story belongs to Noxus and also touches Bandle City. An empire that rewards strength, wherever it comes from.
Their story, step by step
- Step 1
A yordle among the Noxii
Kled came from Bandle City but settled among the Noxii tribes after the Rune Wars. He took on their culture fully, holding that whatever is taken by force belongs to the one who takes it.
- Step 2
The First Battle of Drugne
The earliest record of him is at Drugne. A Noxian warhost under General Zaavan was losing to barbarians after two defeats and cut supply lines, and the general cared more about politics than fighting. Kled rode out alone at dawn on his drakalops Skaarl, shouted an ultimatum and charged before any reply.
- Step 3
Winning the day
His charge fired up the starving Noxian soldiers. Skaarl fled at one point but returned to hit the barbarian rear, and Kled, remounted, tore through the enemy. The victory was costly but let reinforcements from the Immortal Bastion arrive and made Drugne a foothold for centuries. General Zaavan's body was never found.
- Step 4
A living legend
Over the centuries he has fought in countless campaigns and collected many titles, a lot of them self-given. Many stories about him contradict each other and cannot be checked.
- Step 5
Today
He roams the Dalamor Plain with Skaarl, guarding what he sees as his property and planting 'Property of Kled' signs on newly conquered land. He stays independent of the Trifarix leadership.
Turning points
- Charging alone into the First Battle of Drugne
- Becoming a Noxian legend through centuries of campaigns
- Staying outside the Trifarix's command
Where their story stands now
Kled is still wandering Noxian battlefields, loyal to his own idea of Noxus rather than its rulers. How much of his legend is true, and why other yordles treat him as an enemy, are left open.
Who they are tied to
- Darius →Kled thinks Darius owns a good axe but should learn to use it properly.
- Riven →He nearly likes Riven because he sees her as a pure Noxian girl.
- Katarina →He dismisses Katarina as having no moxie.
- Sion →He fought beside Sion while Sion was alive and thinks little of the undead Sion that followed.
Where this fits in the story
- Noxus · step 1
From tyranny to tribes
Before Noxus existed, the Immortal Bastion belonged to Mordekaiser, whose reign is remembered as the Age of Tyranny. After the Rune Wars the Noxii tribes took the fortress and founded modern Noxus.
- Noxus · step 2
The rivalry with Demacia
Noxus and Demacia fought on and off for centuries. Sion's killing of King Jarvan I is the war's most famous moment.
- Noxus · step 3
The invasion of Ionia
For about five years Noxus invaded Ionia, conquering territory and taking magical artifacts. The campaign finally failed, and Irelia led the Ionian resistance.
- Noxus · step 4
The Trifarix
Around 990 AN Swain overthrew Emperor Darkwill and a council of three replaced the emperor. The wiki describes a second invasion of Ionia as looming.
