Although Thresh was the one who imprisoned and tortured Senna, in the story, the Ruined King was the real enemy.
The story of Lucian confronting Thresh is too familiar to gamers. The story of Thresh capturing Senna’s soul caused Lucian to find ways to destroy Thresh to free his wife.
However, in the latest update of Senna’s story, she does not mention her feud with Thresh, instead focusing on Senna being cursed by the Black Mist and the Ruined King.
Senna’s journey to become a Sentinel of Light started with darkness. It started with the Black Mist…
Senna first encountered the Mist at an early age, when wreckage from a distant Harrowing washed onto the shores of her home island. The Black Mist within the wreckage awakened upon contact with life. She and her village survived the ensuing storm of souls, thanks to the intervention of a nearby Sentinel… but in the wake of the attack, the Mist was still mysteriously drawn to Senna.
She was cursed, marked by the Mist so its horrors pursued her endlessly, the darkness drawn to her like dying moth to living flame. She could never know when it would strike next—but worse was when it didn’t come, and Senna had to imagine what awaited in every shadow.
This prologue reveals that Senna has been cursed by the Black Mist since she was a child, which haunts her, but this is probably the same thing that helped Senna survive in Thresh’s lantern. All the others had only souls left, but Senna kept her body and returned to being a champion.
The story then follows her journey to grow up, meet Lucian and fall in love with this guy, then in one fight she is imprisoned in Thresh’s lantern.
After experiencing the pain of being in Thresh’s lantern, she did not hate Thresh but suspected that the Ruined King was behind everything.
So when Lucian and her husband escaped Thresh, Senna’s goal was to prevent the Ruined King from cursing and destroying many lives, just like her before.
No longer running from the Mist, Senna now understands the suffering of the souls within. Though it is painful, she draws their Mist into herself, liberating them, and blasting darkness with darkness. Embracing her death every time she transforms into a wraith, she becomes like those she fought, only to be reborn again thanks to the life infecting her.
Though Senna and Lucian’s love survived even death, now they face the consequences of her rebirth. Senna knows what they have to do next, a secret gleaned within the lantern.
Find the Ruined King, and stop him at any cost…
According to the story of Kalista a few years ago, the Ruined King was the one who transformed the Blessing Islands into the Shadow Isles and created the Black Mist.
Senna’s mission will now be to fight alongside Lucian to prevent the Ruined King and his Mist from destroying many villages and lives, just like what happened to Senna.
Currently, most influential figures such as Thresh, Hecarim, Kalista … have appeared, even their enemies are Lucian couple – Senna has also appeared. Only the leading character, Ruined King, has not been revealed yet, most likely this character will appear in the near future.
