The newest champion in League of Legends, Aurora, already has a unique in-game Easter egg created specifically for them, which comes in the form of a brand-new item.
Aurora is the next champion to be introduced in League of Legends. This Vastayan mage from the Freljord is described as a mid-range solo lane mage with the unique ability to see things that others might miss.
The champion has already generated considerable excitement among players with numerous teasers both within the game and externally. Initially showcased through a new emote, she has sparked curiosity about what her abilities might entail.
In addition to these teasers, more lore about her has been revealed through a comic featured in the game client. This comic narrates the story of Aurora assisting Ornn at his forge, establishing a connection between the two characters. Now, we’ve received an even more tangible Easter egg in the form of a new item being added to the MOBA.
The new item, called “Witch’s Hat,” is exclusive to the Vastayan mage. It appears to be an Ornn-upgraded version of Rabadon’s Deathcap and includes a humorous description that hints at Aurora’s relationship with him.
The item’s description reads, “‘Friend.’ Yes, it is a funny word. Yet perhaps this likely refers to Ornn developing a friendship with Aurora, which is an unusual occurrence for the typically solitary Freljordian blacksmith.
As of now, the details of Aurora’s abilities remain unknown, but her friendship with Ornn might offer some clues about her gameplay. It is probable that Aurora will have close ties to Ornn and feature interactions reflecting their strong bond in the lore.
This upcoming champion is expected to be released in late June or mid-July 2024.
