Riot Games has released a new comic directly in the League of Legends client, which sheds light on the lore of the new season. The biggest revelation is the first official appearance of Zaheen, the upcoming champion of the game.

In the illustrations, the hero is depicted as a majestic warrior from Shurima, before being consumed by the power of the Darkin. This is a significant detail for the story, as previously, fans could only speculate about his origins and role in the events of the new story arc.

The comic hints at a large-scale development of the Darkin conflict and suggests that Zaheen will become a key figure in the upcoming season. Riot traditionally uses such lore inserts to gently lead players to the release of new characters, and this time, expectations are especially high.
