Freljord Ashe – Great warrior of the cold lands of Freljord. Ice desert, where the cost of error is high and may be worth life. Since childhood, the soldiers of this icy country learn to survive in these conditions and at the same time be independent. Such is the champion of these lands Freljord Ashe.
The reveal season for Legends of Runeterra’s Cosmic Creation expansion continued today by showing off six new cards: It That Stares, The Scargrounds, Monastery of Hirana, Homecoming, Wiggly Burblefish, and Boomship.
It That Stares is an eight-mana rare 8/8 from Freljord with a play ability that lets you either Obliterate all Landmarks or deal two damage to all other units. The Scargrounds is an Epic Landmark from Freljord that gives any ally that survives damage +1/+0 and Tough.
Monastery of Hirana is an Epic Landmark from Ionia that creates a Sanctuary at the start of each round. Sanctuary is a Fleeting one-mana Burst spell that Recalls an ally to your hand. It also has a similar casting speed restriction to Gems and Lulu’s Help Pix. Homecoming is a five-mana common Fast spell that forces you to recall an allied unit or Landmark to recall an enemy unit or Landmark.
Wiggly Burblefish is a six-mana Epic 3/1 unit from Bilgewater with Elusive and two powerful abilities. The first effect grants it the power to reduce its cost by one for each spell that you’ve cast this game. The other ability of the Wiggly Burblefish gives you a random one-cost spell from your regions each time you summon it. Boomship is a three-mana rare Slow spell that deals one damage to a unit and then summons Powder Kegs equal to the damage that was dealt.
The freljord (Freil-jord) is a cold place in the north of valoran. There are always heavy snow storms and cold winters. The people here are hardened by the rough environment. The Freljord is an icy tundra inhabited by scattered, independent tribes of warriors determined to band together and persevere through the difficult and unforgiving conditions. Outsiders view those from the Freljord as savages and uncivilized as their raiding culture spreads cross Valoran, the northern continent of Runeterra. The Freljord is a harsh and unforgiving land. Proud and fiercely independent, its people are born warriors, with a strong raiding culture. While there are many individual tribes within the Freljord, the battle lines are being drawn in a three-way civil war that will determine the future for them all. The Freljord (pronounced /'fɹɛɫjɔɹd/ 'frell-yord) is a region located in the northern part of Valoran. The Avarosan tribe have formed The Kingdom of Freljord and are the main governing body of this land. It is currently in a civil war with the Winter's Claw and Frostguard tribes. Ancient beings called the Iceborn originate from this area.
It That Stares is Freljord’s version of Landmark destruction that was teased in previous entries. Aside from its function of Landmark removal, it also has the power to cull through wide boards of weak units due to its two damage AoE against all other units. The Scargrounds is Freljord’s Landmark that pushes forward the Scar and Crimson archetype. The card’s ability to protect your Braum, Vladimir, and the supporting cast of units with Tough will be valuable to the archetype.
Monastery of Hirana is Ionia’s Landmark that builds upon Ionia’s identity of self recall. While the effect will be potent and consistent to constantly return your allies and repeating effects, the mana investment is high. Spending three mana to develop a Landmark to do nothing will put you far behind, and then spending one mana each time you want to recall a unit will also make you lose tempo.
Homecoming is Ionia’s version of Landmark removal At five mana, it’s comparable to Will of Ionia, which has a similar ability. The main draw of Homecoming is that it allows you to repeat your summon abilities, like Monastery of Hirana and Sanctuary. Unless Riven and Zoe synergize with self recall, it may be tough for these two cards to find a home.
Wiggly Burblefish is another card in the rapid spell-flinging archetype that Fizz wields in Bilgewater. For Wiggly Burblefish to be efficient, it’d roughly need a four-mana discount to be considered a powerful unit. Aside from benefiting from cheap spell casts, Wiggly Burblefish also provides you more cheap spell fodder for future cards.
Boomship provides interesting removal for Bilgewater decks using Powder Kegs. While the effect looks interesting at first glance, you’re effectively holding over your current reserve of Powder Kegs to remove a giant threat from the opponent. Since the damage you’re doing will be boosted by your current set of Kegs, you’re effectively adding one Keg to your repertoire for future damage opportunities.
While today’s reveals only showed off the two remaining cards from these three regions, there are no context clues that were given that would indicate the next champion to be revealed. But due to previous leaks, the next champion that will likely be teased within the next two days will either be Riven or Zoe. Between the two, it’s more likely to be Riven, though, since Zoe is a part of the newest region of Targon.

The post 6 new cards from Freljord, Ionia, and Bilgewater introduced with Legends of Runeterra’s Cosmic Creation expansion appeared first on Dot Esports.
The freljord (Freil-jord) is a cold place in the north of valoran. There are always heavy snow storms and cold winters. The people here are hardened by the rough environment.
Lore
Long ago, the freljord was ruled by humans. This continued, until the watchers came. Nobody knows where they came from, but they were powerful. At first they seemed friendly, offering gifts like strengt and immortality in return for a fortress, an empire and the loyalty of the people.
At that time, the freljord was ruled by 3 sisters: Avarosa, Serylda, and Lissandra.
>Avarosa (Ashe's ancestor) was skilled with a bow, she had one of true ice, a magical type of ice that never melts. She was also very wise, and led the battly at the howling abyss.
>Not much is known about serylda. Her lore doesn't give any information about her. The only thing we know, is that she is sejuani's ancestor.
>Lissandra was the third of the sisters. She betrayed ger sisters for power, and became the seeker. Now she is the leader of the forstguard.
The watchers eventually enslaved the humans, turning them into a race called: Iceborn. Iceborns were immortal beings with the ability to bend ice. However they don't have strong healing effects, making them as vulnerable to wounds as any human.
Lisandra became iceborn too, but not only that, she also became 'the seeker'. She became the person between the watchers and the humans/iceborn, carrying over commands and questions. Lissandra got this position by betraying her sisters, enslaving their people too.
Eventually Avarosa had enough of this, she gathered her armies and together with serylda she started attacking the watchers and their allies. After a long time the last battle took place, on the howling abyss. The iceborn horde on one side, and the watchers on the other. Many iceborn died, but in the end, the watchers werw trown howling in tye abyss, giving the bridge its name.
After that Avarosa bound the soul of the viking Greyor to some true ice, so he could forever watch over the howling abyss in case the watchers return. Now he is seen as the shopkeeper on the blue side of the howling abyss.
Lissandra however, was angry at Avarosa, since she killed Lissandra's masters. Lissandra assassinated Avarosa. Avarosa got buried with her bow, in a grave with a special seal. Lissandra then started to make this world ready for the return of the watchers. The 3 great tribes felt apart and started wars to rule the freljord. Wars that would last until one of the sisters claims her rulership.
Freljord now
![Freljord Freljord](/uploads/1/3/7/1/137181548/902315203.jpg)
Nowadays the Freljord is divided in 3 tribes: The tribe of the frost archer, the winter's claw and the forstguard.
>The tribe of the frost archer is ruled by Ashe, this tribe is peaceful and wants to unite the freljord without war, but that doesn't mean they don't have an army. The frost archer is allied with the barbarians, the tribe of tryndamere.

>The winter's claw is led by Sejuani and is a brutal and indipendant tribe, they believe peace is another word for weakness. They plunder any village that isn't allied with them and the trainings are extremely hard. They want to rule the freljord by brute strenght.
>The last tribe, the frostguard has allied with ashe. The frostguard keeps freljords oldest secrets safe, or so the world believes. The frostguard was meanth to protect freljors, but now they protect Lissandra, the ice dervish.
The freljord is about to get into a civil war, while the frost acher and the winter's claw are fighting, lissandra will finish her plan to take over the freljord, and bury the world in ice. The darkest hour is getting near...
