Chapter 819: Mountain Shadow Flame - Ornn's Story

When the earth collapsed and cracked after being hammered by Ornn, Ornn was surprised to find a fire pit appeared deep in the earth. Then, Ornn obtained the power of the First Fire from it. This was the first flame of Rune Continent, and it was the power bestowed upon Ornn by this world.

From then on, Ornn became the God of Fire. Because of his love for forging and his powerful forging skills, he was given the title of God of Forging by mortals in the world.

As a demigod, Ornn's every move possesses tremendous power. The terrain of the Freljord became what it is today because of Ornn. Even the Freljord's eternally cold weather has a lot to do with Ornn.

It is unknown how many years since the first demigod Ornn came, and Ornn has been staying in the realm of Freljord. In order to sleep peacefully, Ornn built himself a magnificent house spanning several canyons using trees from several forests. He named this mansion "Corner Hall".

However, Ornn's behavior angered her demigod sister, the Ice Phoenix Anivia. The demigods in Runeterra are all addressed as brothers and sisters, and almost all demigods call Ornn brother, which is also evidence that Ornn is the first demigod to descend.

Anivia was angry because Ornn cut off her favorite branch when he was cutting down trees, so she decided to teach Ornn a lesson. Anivia secretly used her feather to scratch Ornn's nose while he was sleeping in the corner hall, and Ornn sneezed.

But what Ornn sneezed out was not snot, but a ball of blazing flames. The flames first ignited Ornn's bed sheet, then the wooden bed under him, and then the entire wooden corner hall was instantly engulfed in flames. Anivia felt that something was wrong, so she decided to flap her wings and run away.

When Anivia ran away, the wind from her wings blew up the dry wind of Freljord, which helped the fire, and the whole corner hall became a big furnace. The fire lasted for many days, and the corner hall had long been reduced to ashes. The flying dust almost covered the sky, but the fire did not wake Ornn from his deep sleep. For the god of fire, this temperature was probably just like the feeling of covering his body with a thin blanket.

When Ornn woke up, he looked around in confusion. At this moment, he had only one thought, "Where am I? Is this still my home? I just sneezed and this happened?" Ornn was not angry with Anivia. They had a good relationship. He just felt that a house made of wood was too unreliable. So, Ornn's next idea was to build a house that was not afraid of fire and was more solid.

So, Ornn made himself a shovel, a crowbar and a fork. With these tools, he could dig huge ores from the ground, pry huge stone pillars, and eat delicious cherries. Yes, he used the fork to eat cherries, but I don't know where in Freljord at that time there were so many cherries for Ornn, the big goat.

As for these three things forged by Ornn, after he forged the Howling Abyss at the request of the Ice Sisters, Ornn felt that he should not be involved in the affairs of mortals anymore, so he threw these things in all directions. The shovel was thrown to the west, the fork was thrown into the sea, and the whereabouts of the crowbar was unknown (no mention was made). Of course, he originally wanted to throw his beloved hammer away as well, but he couldn't bear to do it later, after all, it was his favorite thing.

When Ornn had these tools, a more magnificent residence was forged. Ornn hollowed out a mountain and built a furnace inside. This was also his residence. Later generations of Ornn's followers respectfully called this demigod place "Furnace Home". The first fire that Ornn brought from the ground burned in the furnace, and Ornn was very satisfied with his residence. Furnace Home But there was also a bad thing. The temperature of the forging hall where the first fire burned was too high, and even Ornn was a little uncomfortable. So he dug a canal leading to the mountain near the sea, and then let the cold sea water flow into the furnace home through the ditch through his other demigod sister, Sister Seal (the demigod in the background).

As the sea water flowed into the furnace city, huge clouds of steam rose into the sky. It took three full days for the temperature of the mountain to drop to a level that Ornn found comfortable. During this period, even the sea level dropped several inches.

But in this way, the blue sky that was originally always clear turned into large dark clouds because it absorbed too much water vapor. As the water vapor gathered, these dark clouds became colder, thicker, and heavier. Eventually, heavy snow began to fall in Freljord. Because the amount of water vapor was so great, this heavy snow lasted for a hundred years. This is why Freljord is covered with snow all year round.

Therefore, the demigods of Rune Continent are indeed extremely powerful. With just a wave of their hands and a move, they can easily affect the terrain and climate of the entire continent.

However, compared to some of their demigod brothers and sisters, Ornn is considered to be very good, such as Ornn's bloodthirsty and warlike bear demigod brother, the Indestructible Thunder Volibear.

At the foot of Ornn's Hearth Mountain, there lived a group of craftsmen who believed in Ornn. Although Ornn would say that he had no believers, he still built a forging town at the foot of the mountain for these craftsmen to live in. So these people moved into the town, built furnaces and homes, and called themselves "Heat Family". Because of Ornn, these people have never felt the cold of Freljord. The Hearth Family, from the character of Lor Ornn, can be called "tsundere". Although he has never said that he praises the Hearth Family, he loves these craftsmen who love forging in his heart, and these people often make Ornn smile.

Until one day, Volibear, who was ready for war, came to Hearthland to find Ornn, intending to ask him to forge weapons for him, but Ornn refused Volibear.

Volibear was not angry. Seeing that Ornn refused, he planned to let the group of Ornn's followers at the bottom of the mountain do it. However, this action angered Ornn. He angrily retorted that these people were not his followers. In Ornn's heart, these people were not followers, but a group of friends who shared the same hobby as him and loved forging. Then Volibear continued to provoke Ornn until Ornn's horns turned red and hot. A shocking battle was about to break out.
