LORE
Fueled by his unbridled fury and rage, Tryndamere cuts his way
through the tundra, mastering the art of battle by challenging the
Freljord's greatest warriors. The wrathful barbarian seeks revenge on
the one who decimated his clan and strikes down all those who stand
between him and his final retribution.
Struggling to survive in the harsh, frostbitten
Freljord,
the young Tryndamere and his people warred with other tribes over the
scarce resources of the land. One such battle changed his life forever.
Raiders ambushed Tryndamere's clan in the dead of night, and though his
warriors were able to push the first wave of attackers back, they
weren't prepared for the
dark figure
that next stepped forth. He wielded a cruel, living sword, and inspired
an unhinged bloodlust in the invaders with his unearthly magic.
Tryndamere's tribe was overrun within moments. With no hope of defeating
the enigmatic being, Tryndamere threw himself at certain death. The
dark figure swatted him aside, mortally wounding the young barbarian.
Tryndamere saw death and destruction engulf his home as his life
slipped away. No one was left standing - only the screams of the dying
remained. Unable to surrender to death, Tryndamere gave in fully to his
wrath. His blood boiled and his anger consumed him, banishing his
mortality. He staggered to his feet - barely able to take hold of his
sword - steeling himself for the decisive confrontation with the shadowy
being. But the dark figure did not even lift his blade, and instead
gave Tryndamere a knowing smile as he withdrew into the shadows. That
was the last time the barbarian ever saw his nemesis.
A man robbed of his home and his people, Tryndamere wandered
across the Freljord for years, vowing to forge himself into a brutal
instrument of revenge. He visited all the tribes in the frozen wastes,
besting each of their warriors until there were none left to challenge.
In doing so, he mastered the barbarian ways of war and harnessed his
anger as a force to be reckoned with. With sword in hand and rage in his
heart, he is now on an undying quest for vengeance against the one who
destroyed the life he once knew.
"Rage is my weapon."
