Creator notes

As the reclusive leader of the Freljord Frostguard, many believe Lissandra is a living saint whose followers bring healing and wisdom to the tribes of the Freljord. The truth is perhaps more sinister, as she uses her elemental magic to twist the power of True Ice into something dark and terrible, entombing or impaling any who would reveal her deepest secrets. Indeed, the legacy of her past may yet be the beginning of the end for Runeterra.

{{Story: Lissandra was born millenia before. In the ancient world, the barriers between the physical world and other realms were hotly contested and beings of old magic roamed freely. In this chaotic epoch, Lissandra and her sisters, Avarosa and Serylda, sought to conquer whatever they could. Lissandra tried to control the mortal world, only to be blinded by the claws of Volibear. With her sight taken, Lissandra chose instead to walk in dreams. Using her magic, she communed with extra-dimensional entities known as the Watchers. On behalf of her and her sisters, she would struck a deal with them to prepare Runeterra for the coming of the Void. In exchange, Lissandra and her allies would be granted near-immortality and the ability to withstand the worst of the numbing frost. Named iceborn, they were promised to be spared until the very end. Lissandra herself became the Watchers' Seeker, mediating their will to the iceborn. However, Lissandra's sisters, tired of their slave-like status, sought to set themselves free from their bondage to these Void entities and gathered allies to do so. Caught in the middle, Lissandra tried to soothe her sisters' concerns while appealing to the Watchers for more time, but the Watchers were growing impatient. At some point, the sisters asked the demi-god Ornn to build a chasm and bridge so they could lock away the Watchers. The sisters' disagreements grew into a full-scale war. In the final days of the war, Avarosa and Serylda marched their armies up into the mountains to face Lissandra. Lissandra tried to remind them showing how much they have conquered thanks to their alliance pledge to the Watchers, but they did not care. Then, the Watchers finally came to Runeterra. Lissandra summoned all of the ancient magic she could and sacrificed her sisters and the allies they had gathered, entombing the Watchers beneath a glacial barrier of magical ice on the bottom of the Howling Abyss. Lissandra soon discovered the magic barrier the hold the Watchers was not enough. The monstrous beings she had frozen were merely slumbering, slowly tainting the True Ice around them into something darker. Now, they wandered through Lissandra's dreams as easily as she had theirs, and always she would wake, terrified, professing her loyalty to the chilling eternity they promised. So she gathered her remaining followers to venerate her and her departed sisters. They would gather as much True Ice as they could find so the return of the Watchers could be delayed at the maximum , and scour the frozen lands for any of Iceborn descent to join their cause. Lissandra and the first among her Frostguard tried everything in their power to rewrite the history of the Freljord, seizing all records of what had truly happened... and yet, rumors and prophecies persisted in myth and song, those who would herald the return of Avarosa and Serylda. Lissandra would kill silently anyone who had been claimed their reincarnations. In one instance, Lissandra senses a Watcher trying to wake up. Laying down on the Howlling Abyss, naked, she uses her psychic powers to feed the Watcher dreams of others. She traverses the entire Freljord in astral form looking checking on other's dreams and even remarks on a young girl who appears to be iceborn. In the final moments of the ritual, Lissandra enters the Watcher own dream, where she sees herself being devoured by them. She awakens horrified and spilling bile out of her mouth. But the Watcher is finally sleeping again. For her, this is a small price to pay for to keep them at bay. On a night of frost moon, Lissandra walks through a sacred sanctum of hears, where she visits numerous ice coffins holding half-dead frozen people whom she uses to feed the Watchers. She visits their dreams as she passes between them. She remarks two sisters who were frozen together and who seemingly are devoted to each other. She thinks their devotion is foolish and mentions she found it more convenient to lose her sisters. At recent events, Lissandra commanded the story hunters to attack the Notai tribe, for they may harbor ancient history through their culture of retelling myths and legends. They found Nunu and other Notai children and took them to the Foundling Village. There, he met Lissandra personally, who asked him countless questions about his mother’s stories, always seeking information about one particular song. Lissandra also told him about one fierce monster that killed all who sought its power, thwarting the Frostguard who were sent each year, never to return. Actually, she was trying to discover the location of the Svellsongur artifact.}}

{{Apperance: Lissandra is a towering blue pale-skinned woman with a semblance of a sculpture. She wears a gown that looks like is made of stone or ice. She wears her signature horned headpiece and is always being followed by a trail of Dark Ice. Her bluish silver hair is braided into a single pigtail that goes down to her waist.}}

{{Specie and Abilities: Lissandra is one of the original iceborn, being immortal and resistant to the worst of the numbing frost. She is also capable of wielding True Ice without getting hurt. Master Sorceress: Lissandra is a very old and knowledgeable sorceress, performing powerful magic even before becoming iceborn. Lissandra's signature magic is manipulating dark ice, a corrupted form of True Ice. She is capable of freezing freezing anyone who opposes her, conjuring ice in any shape she desires, such as spears of ice spears of ice, walls or chain, and others. Lissandra is able to reform herself wherever her dark ice is spread. Enthralling: Lissandra can use her ice magic to enslave other beings to her will. She often does this to Trundle's minions who fail to obey and fall in line. Supernatural Awareness: It is hinted that Lissandra has some sort of magical awareness because, despite being blind, she is capable of sensing her surroundings to perfection. If it is related to her ability to control the temperatures or some sort of extension of her psychic abilities is not known. Psychic Abilities: Lissandra possesses telepathic abilities which allow her to mind-travel during her dreams to see things beyond her sight, enter others' dreams, and communicate with the Watchers. Dream Manipulation: Lissandra is capable of entering the dreams of other beings, manipulate those dreams and putting others back to sleep. She does it to the Watchers so they may not try to invade Runeterra again.}}

{{Personality: Lissandra is a very imposing presence. She ports herself like a glorious monolith, always standing above everyone else. Lissandra is a very manipulative, frigid, demanding, a perfectionist, and will do anything to achieve her goals. She is a very harsh leader and does not cope well with defeat or failure. She is also a very patient person, observing the Howling Abyss for almost ten millennia, waiting for the beings below to wake up. Although she has this icy facade, Lissandra is a fearful person. She is in constant dread that her past will catch up to her and perpetually carries a heavy burden. She came to accept that she will find no peace in this life.}}
