In the world of VALOR, the woman known as Valeria, Daughter of the Sun, does battle in a world of myth and monsters, kingdoms and empires. While today the Aelia Empire dominates the world, it was not always so. These are short accounts from the worl...
At the end of the Age of Night, during the Pale Interregnum, the Imperium of Night spiraled into decline. Warstruck by the Arbellum, and invaded by the newly arrived Starmen, the Imperium collapsed. What took its place, the Quin Empire, was weak.

The ancient shapeshifter, Kal'Dul, hoping to sow chaos and feed the hunger of sleeping Thanatos, went to the leaders of the Quin and told them of the Summoning City - the home of Noxus and Sylvan skilled in the art of summoning spirits.
More importantly, Kal'Dul lied and claimed they could summon a god to serve them. Listening to that lie, the Quin ransacked the Summoning City, and brought its master summoners in chains to the eternal capital city. All others were slaughtered.
In the bowls of the imperial prisons, the summoners were brutally tortured. One by one they gave up their secrets for summoning. However, only the greatest of them, Ramsus, knew the final secret for summoning a god.
One by one, his friends were killed. Left alone and tortured day and night, Ramsus finally gave up his secrets. He was left to die in the forgotten darkness beneath the city. Yet even after his death, Ramsus refused to die.

Ramsus saw a vision of blood and fire. Awakened by his vision, he wandered the under city. The ancient halls built by the underground race, the Mollis, led him to distant lands. Eventually, he emerged back onto the surface, and wandered.
Ramsus refused to die until he saw home once more. Yet upon returning to the Summoning City, he found it a scorched shell, with everyone inside dead. So he returned to the summoners quarters and fell into a deep slumber.
Years later, the summoned Three Faced Goddess, Lha, had split into three sisters. Lhatil and Lhara began to war with each other, and slowly, refugees fled into the north. They came to the Summoning City, and awakened Ramsus found new purpose.

He no longer went by any name but as the Suffering Saint. He had been killed many times traveling back to city, and existed in ongoing pain, but he made the Summoning City a home for everyone escaping war. Until mad Lhatil ransacked the city.
Fearful of a god being summoned behind her own front lines, Lhatil sent her forces to kill the lost summoner. The refugees of the city were unable to escape as her armies surrounded them, and most died by the sword as they searched for Ramsus.
But the suffering her forces caused shattered what was left of Ramsus' mind, and in the midst of his incomparable pain, seeing all those he'd welcomed die by the sword, Ramsus opened the Aruat and summoned the Bloodfire into himself.
For miles around the Summoning City, the land collapsed into Bloodfire, which formed a lake that burned. Thousands of Lhatil's soldiers died in fire, as what was left of Ramsus was consumed by Sanguis. A saint who suffered no longer.
