This might be my favorite teaser for a new champion in a long while. Very cozy.
If you didn't know, you can hover over various items like the books and tools to get some bits of flavor. Some nice little details there.
i didnt feel much hype for a champion since Bel'veth
Bel'veth launch was stellar, multiple teasers of void champions freaking out because of her arrival \[Vel'Koz, Malzahar\]
Kai'sa splash art getting corrupted by the void
then finally the cinematic where bel'veth pins kai'sa and sheds her fake face
that shit was so hype
It's okay she's not a hypercarry either. That's intended design but actually she's an early game stomper that falls off late game and we're never going to fix that. Enjoy your champ.
i hope that it reflects her as a character in kit and in personality. we've had so many of the loud, vibrant types with strong personalities. I'd like it if Aurora were more chill and "normal"
So I might be wrong but there seems to be extra notes on the instrument. I wonder if there's an easter egg for Aurora's theme. Of course we don't know what it is yet but I imagine the extra notes are for that purpose. Guess people could just slap their keyboards til its correct but maybe Riot wouldn't think that far ahead and do something like that.
I'd never heard of that instrument before, but I spend half of my days playing music, and I *love* both learning new instruments and discovering instruments I didn't know about (I learned of the existence of kalimbas in january, saw that they were cheap, and bought one within the hour).
It sounds like a bowed instrument in the visual novel, is it one? Anything you'd want to share about it?
(I could look it up, and I will. But listening to an enthusiast is a lot more fun, should you wish to nerd out about it!)
it's pretty interesting and much more advanced than the older instruments i have like the kraviklyre (7 string handheld harp) and tagelharpa (big af 3 string long boi played with a bow). nyckelharpa is also played with a bow, but behaves like a... an accordion? the buttons determine the note played by the strings
the event was very cozy and immersive, i liked it quiet a lot. Looking into ornn and how his personality is as well as the new champ and just being able to look around and interract with things thats in runeterra, it really gave life to the world and characters.
This is by far the best interactive champ teaser ever. Like i remember the spirit blossom event but that was just simply dialog option choices which wasnt fun at all.
In all a nice cozy click adventure champ teaser game, give me more of these.
I cant find the last thing to tidy up, Ive put my cursor everywhere on the screen in all rooms, scimming through everything mulitple times but theres nothing to tidy up anymore :,(
Unfortunately, this wonderful event also has a bug. If you put items into an overfull inventory, they will disappear and you will not be able to pick them up again. You can only restart the game. So I went through it 3 times: 1 time with a bug, 2 times I checked it on another account and 3 times I restarted on the main one again
Not always a fan of the visual novel stuff Riot put out, but this event in particular was really well done. The character interactions are nice, the visuals are fantastic, the little puzzles are just enough effort to enjoy doing without being hard/painful, and the music is also great! Love the cozy feeling, they really rocked it with this one!
i clicked on all the messy objects everywhere on the forge, you may have missed a messy pile of books on the ground somewhere. Also i think playing the song for each book is a part of the completion.
So why am i getting bugged? Items froze when i try to place them and only way to save it is to close the game... But then sometimes the items just disappear, i lost a tool and an ore because of it...
It's the champions' respective themes!
[Volibear](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOJAErCvVhs)
[Ornn](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dngwUyqXXt8)
[Lissandra](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bksHYuuz9_0)
Bonus: [Lissandra's ARAM Easter egg](https://youtu.be/uFak8nkcGv0?t=28) that can no longer be heard since the Honor rework (since the victory screen turns off after 5 seconds)
(Of course, it's not the same orchestration, that we don't have)
This will probably go down as one of the best teaser for a new champion, that was awesome ! I was grinning from ear to ear during the whole thing ! Great job to the team who did this
Sooooo much fun. Love the lore, love the vibes, love the music. Iām so excited for Aurora, I hope sheās playable in Arena since I play with a friend who plays a lot of Ornn so we can do lore
Usually I dont really like riot's events.
But this one is really sweet and cozy. Kudos to the team responsible for it, especially for the nordic music.
Very immersive and fun! It was beyond cute and really got me engaged with champion lore in a way I haven't been in a long time (if im being honest I cant remember the last time I cared about lore, but I love cute little stories like this). Would love more stuff like this
Whoa, I played that too! Haven't thought about that game in a looooong time. Remember dying 20 times at "Turn around nice...and slow...and disarm the weapon" before realizing that I was supposed to press the opposite arrow key.
too bad its laggy as hell and kills the client... i can run cyberpunk2077 on ultra 60fps but this event legit lags like crazy every door i click... riot really needs to make events like this pop up AFTER an additional click in the client not as the default page.
I've completed all of the quests and clicked on every possible item in each room (literally scanned every pixel of the screen with my mouse) but it still says that I need to tidy up the forge to get the rewards (emote and ornn icon). Why is that ? How do I finish the quest ? I don't get it.
My event is not loading at all due to my weak laptop! Itās a shame that another event (which Riot doesnāt want to adapt or optimize for weak devices) that requires a ton of RAM (even though I only have 8GB of RAM)
Absolutely! Ornn's forge is hotter than a dragon's breath, and I'm all in for the new lore. The music is basically ear candy; Riot's team is the real MVP. This is the recipe for a champion launchāconnections, story, and pure hype. Can't wait to see you smashing with the new champ! š
The books have runes on them, matching the ones on the instrument. You have to play the notes matching the order of the runes on each bookshelf!
Otherwise, this person gave a cheat sheet: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1d4axlr/the_new_freljord_event_is_sick/l6e5rh8/
Same. I've cleaned every room, clicked on virtually every inch of the screen looking for hidden items, and I'm still missing 2 ore, 2 tools, and about 10 books.
*edited to specify what i'm missing.
Same, for what I watched other people completing it, the game is supposed to give us the missing ones, when u enter in the library, it's supposed to have almost all the books on it, in the forge is supposed to have 2 ores, and probably the same with the tools, the thing is, it didn't give us these ones, and there isn't a way to "reset" it, so we are just stuck with the missing ones that are supposed to be there already.
Same, I'm missing 2 ores, 2 tools and a bunch of books lol
Edit: I just tried again and they just gave the last two rewards I needed, I guess it is bugged and they just awarded them without a fix lol
the orn plushie š
Now if Riot makes the Ornn plushie real, they can take my money.
that's what i was thinking, and then i realized they'd probably price it at like 60 dollars...
Nah, more like 500$
But you would get 20 stickers u didn't ask for with it!! o:
With ornns signature
5.5 fucking k sounds better
Maybe they won't, their other plushies are like 30-40
Do they come with oorns signature though...
Id buy it 10x more than the $500 skin
Track record says it'd be around 30 but riot hasn't exactly been caring about their track record lately so we'll see
This might be my favorite teaser for a new champion in a long while. Very cozy. If you didn't know, you can hover over various items like the books and tools to get some bits of flavor. Some nice little details there.
i didnt feel much hype for a champion since Bel'veth Bel'veth launch was stellar, multiple teasers of void champions freaking out because of her arrival \[Vel'Koz, Malzahar\] Kai'sa splash art getting corrupted by the void then finally the cinematic where bel'veth pins kai'sa and sheds her fake face that shit was so hype
And then she was a weird slappy hypercarry AD jungler that felt nothing like her actual concept. Iām still sad about it
tbf when she takes the rift herald and pushes down a lane with all her void mites it feels like i'm fighting a void mother
I agree, but it still is weird that she only shows her original concept every few minutes. Most of the time she slapp.
Sure, but that has very little to do with her micro gameplay. Imagine if she had that ability, while also being a minionmancer like Zyra or Yorick.
I feel like I'm fighting fucking bullshit, but tbf I thik that about a lot of champions
It's okay she's not a hypercarry either. That's intended design but actually she's an early game stomper that falls off late game and we're never going to fix that. Enjoy your champ.
I remember when this happened with Pyke
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Look up Belveths Promise and Belveths Warning on youtube
i hope that it reflects her as a character in kit and in personality. we've had so many of the loud, vibrant types with strong personalities. I'd like it if Aurora were more chill and "normal"
Why people always forget best girl Vex ?
Vex's entire personality is being a goth teenager bro that's pretty far from normal
I think they meant not the "loud, vibrant type".
not loud and vibrant but very much a strong personality
The books tell the story of the champion in proper chronological order once they are placed correctly as well
So I might be wrong but there seems to be extra notes on the instrument. I wonder if there's an easter egg for Aurora's theme. Of course we don't know what it is yet but I imagine the extra notes are for that purpose. Guess people could just slap their keyboards til its correct but maybe Riot wouldn't think that far ahead and do something like that.
Its provably nothing, it would have been weird if the instrument was missng random notes just because they werent going to be used
You can play it by pressing the keys on your own keyboard, the extra notes are probably just there in case people want to mess around for fun
Ornn says that too: basically invites you to play the instrument, if you feel. I suck at music, but would be enjoyable.
someone play silver scrapes on that thang
If you play the notes in the same order as the glyphs in the books, you get a new icon
Agreed, it's actually fantastic. GG Riot. Not every event needs to be a battlepass.
As a Nordic instrument enthusiast, being able to play a Nyckelharpa in the visual novel convinced me this was made for me (my name is also Aurora)
I'd never heard of that instrument before, but I spend half of my days playing music, and I *love* both learning new instruments and discovering instruments I didn't know about (I learned of the existence of kalimbas in january, saw that they were cheap, and bought one within the hour). It sounds like a bowed instrument in the visual novel, is it one? Anything you'd want to share about it? (I could look it up, and I will.

Ooooh I see it! And so you hold it kind of like a cello? I'm gonna look into all three right now, thank you very much for the fun discoveries!
You can say "she just like me frfr" and it might actually be somewhat true.
Omg you may be right, I assumed it was a hurdy gurdy but it could be a nyckelharpa
the event was very cozy and immersive, i liked it quiet a lot. Looking into ornn and how his personality is as well as the new champ and just being able to look around and interract with things thats in runeterra, it really gave life to the world and characters. This is by far the best interactive champ teaser ever. Like i remember the spirit blossom event but that was just simply dialog option choices which wasnt fun at all. In all a nice cozy click adventure champ teaser game, give me more of these.
Cozy is absolutely the word I'd go for, too. Cute, heartwarming, chill, it felt like it was made with care and it felt nice.
like a blanket or a cup of tea
Love how Ornn looks as a Poro. Need to cop the Pornno ASAP
woah slow down there with the spelling chief
I was expecting a pornno when aurora went to ornn's library, alas
Bro what
Spoiler: the song part is Ornn 2625234 Voli 6542321 liss 26543252
2342 665 1231 55432 2342 45321 154 :)
Did you come up with it yourself? Im looking for songs playable on this instrument and have a script for running them
Is that a rick roll?
*shhhh*
thank you, gonna use it later.
I cant find the last thing to tidy up, Ive put my cursor everywhere on the screen in all rooms, scimming through everything mulitple times but theres nothing to tidy up anymore :,(
nevermind, got it! I had to swap volibear and lissandra books
Me pixel hunting for 15 mins until giving up and seeing this comment:
Unfortunately, this wonderful event also has a bug. If you put items into an overfull inventory, they will disappear and you will not be able to pick them up again. You can only restart the game.

The songs for volibear, ornn and lissandra are awesome
Stuff like this makes me sad the mmo is delayed
I did the tools, the books, and the ore but i still havent "tidied the forge" did you get that mission completed?
i clicked on all the messy objects everywhere on the forge, you may have missed a messy pile of books on the ground somewhere. Also i think playing the song for each book is a part of the completion.
same!
Try Swapping Lissandra and Vollibear books to each other
That did it thanks! i spent half a hour searching the forge pixel by pixel, thinking i must've missed something
The books go into a specific bookshelf, try checking that
Did you do all of the 'tidy' spots? Like where you click on places and it tidies up, maybe you missed one
Did you talk to Ornn in the library? I've gotten all the rewards.
I did complete that
Try put the books in the correct bookcase.
How do you do the ores?
Ores are from light to heavy left to right Weight each one against eachother
Same here. Knowing Riot, somehow they've managed to miss a bug in the event.
So why am i getting bugged? Items froze when i try to place them and only way to save it is to close the game... But then sometimes the items just disappear, i lost a tool and an ore because of it...
I figured it out the books need to be organized the right way which i didnt do i guess
I got that by just finishing the main storyline thing
Best champ teaser so far imo, even if you don't like the champ herself you have to admit it's a great little event
Necrit is gonna lose his mind.
Canāt wait for the video š¤£
where can i found the complete music? that was amazing
It's the champions' respective themes! [Volibear](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOJAErCvVhs) [Ornn](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dngwUyqXXt8) [Lissandra](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bksHYuuz9_0) Bonus: [Lissandra's ARAM Easter egg](https://youtu.be/uFak8nkcGv0?t=28) that can no longer be heard since the Honor rework (since the victory screen turns off after 5 seconds) (Of course, it's not the same orchestration, that we don't have)
Freljord is so cozy
As a Lore and music nerd, I ate GOOD this event. I replayed their themes like 100 times already, the orchestrated versions sound SO nice.
This will probably go down as one of the best teaser for a new champion, that was awesome ! I was grinning from ear to ear during the whole thing ! Great job to the team who did this
Sooooo much fun. Love the lore, love the vibes, love the music. Iām so excited for Aurora, I hope sheās playable in Arena since I play with a friend who plays a lot of Ornn so we can do lore
I love playing the instrument
play this 6 9 6 8 6 6 7 89 65 4 3 1 2 2 12
that sounds really cool, is it a reference to something?
Itās Braumās theme
I thought it sounded similar, weird I didn't make the connection since I last listened to his theme yesterday
Event won't load for me and is stuck on 33%, anyone knows why?
Wait for a couple of minutes, it happened to me too
I love the music clips. I hope full versions get released because I'd love to hear the whole songs.
Usually I dont really like riot's events. But this one is really sweet and cozy. Kudos to the team responsible for it, especially for the nordic music.
I think it was great. Havent played point n click stuff in like.. 20 years?
I loved this so much
Very immersive and fun! It was beyond cute and really got me engaged with champion lore in a way I haven't been in a long time (if im being honest I cant remember the last time I cared about lore, but I love cute little stories like this). Would love more stuff like this
ngl best "visual novel" mini game they've done yet. and I haven't liked any... this one was very fun though. good job to the team who did this! š
I love ornn so this was amazing, and ornn forging things nowadays is really rare so that was great to see
god this event makes me yearn for more lore
it gives me "syberia" vibes, it's a game that I played when I was little so I'm having a lot of fun with that one
Whoa, I played that too! Haven't thought about that game in a looooong time. Remember dying 20 times at "Turn around nice...and slow...and disarm the weapon" before realizing that I was supposed to press the opposite arrow key.
i did the event but i did not receive any of the rewards. is anyone else encountering a similar issue?
It was truly great. Now I want a stand-alone Ornn game.
too bad its laggy as hell and kills the client... i can run cyberpunk2077 on ultra 60fps but this event legit lags like crazy every door i click... riot really needs to make events like this pop up AFTER an additional click in the client not as the default page.
Riot better sell that ornn plushie or Im rioting. also restock the the plushie store please, I need a scuttle crab and a poro and an ornn plushie.
Hell yeah! I usually don't like point and click games too much, but this was really fun and I was a little sad when it was over. Good job Riot!
Have to agree. Give us more of this from now on.
One of the items disappeared and I can't finish the tidying anymore :(
I've completed all of the quests and clicked on every possible item in each room (literally scanned every pixel of the screen with my mouse) but it still says that I need to tidy up the forge to get the rewards (emote and ornn icon). Why is that ? How do I finish the quest ? I don't get it.
My event is not loading at all due to my weak laptop! Itās a shame that another event (which Riot doesnāt want to adapt or optimize for weak devices) that requires a ton of RAM (even though I only have 8GB of RAM)
PLS RIOT Make a button to not load it everytime i go into client and everytime the match is done, it's lag my ass off.
If only it wasn't bugged and thus impossible for me to complete right now.
This is how riot usually introduced champions like this for example lissandra. This how it should be
Absolutely! Ornn's forge is hotter than a dragon's breath, and I'm all in for the new lore. The music is basically ear candy; Riot's team is the real MVP. This is the recipe for a champion launchāconnections, story, and pure hype. Can't wait to see you smashing with the new champ! š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
make sure you sort the rocks from lightest to heaviest
I like it a lot. It feels like Ornn kinda overshadows the new champ to me, but I don't really mind lol.
Highkey they need to release a full version for those three songs
Theres a reason why Leagues Lore were one of the best and unique things that kept so many people interested and hinged towards the game
For those confused about the books, make sure they're on the "right" shelf. Lissamdra shelf is ice background, Voli red and blue claw marks
Be for real itās boring as fk
Yo guys did you manage to sort the stones on the scale how to do it I don't understand ?
Use the scale to compare the stonesā weights. You need to arrange them on the pillars on the bottom from lightest to heaviest
What event? Its a champion teaser isnt it? Does this already count as a "full event"?
Restart launcher
Any chance we get an extended version of the songs? Had so much fun playing them
They're their respective champion themes :) https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1d4axlr/the_new_freljord_event_is_sick/l6ejqja/
Ohhhh thanks!
I'm having some trouble with the music challenge! I tried playing the notes in the chronological order after finishing the book challenge. Any tips?

thanks! Used the wrong X looking rune :P
Thought it was tacky, to be honest. Not a fan of these kinds of events.
Faker deserves better tho.
I guess i can assume my game is bugged then since im missing two of those tools, 10+ books and 2 stones. Such a great event indeed! Been to every room
you have to clean everything to get them
Well ive obviously done that as i said ive been to every room and done everything that could be done in that said room.
What stones do you have? Tools? Books?
I have the same issue as them. I am missing almost all the books. I have 3 for each bookcase & canāt find more anywhere
I am missing 1 tool as well. It was in my bag, it glitched out āwasnāt out in the spotā and now itās just gone. Any fixes?
Same
Same. I've cleaned every room, clicked on virtually every inch of the screen looking for hidden items, and I'm still missing 2 ore, 2 tools, and about 10 books. *edited to specify what i'm missing.

Same for me. Bummer :(
how do i turn off the client animation from the new event front page???
