Shadow Isles is one of the great regions of Runeterra. A blighted, ghost-haunted archipelago wrapped in the Black Mist, where death is never truly the end.
Classified in the world as a cursed realm, Shadow Isles shapes the champions born within it — their values, their conflicts and the powers they wield all carry its stamp. Understanding Shadow Isles is one of the best ways to understand the wider story of League of Legends.
