Spirit God

Race of Runeterra

Sapient spirits who embody cultures and ideas, growing stronger with every worshipper and taking different forms in every land that honors them.

Spirit Gods stand among the most powerful spirits in existence, and what sets them apart is what they embody. Each one is bound to something larger than a single being: an entire culture, a civilization, or an idea held in common by many. That connection also determines how strong a Spirit God becomes. The more people who worship one, the greater its power grows, which ties the fate of these beings directly to the mortal populations that revere them. Because worship is spread across peoples and places, a Spirit God is not confined to a single site. One can be present in several locations at once, and the form it takes shifts with the community that honors it. A Spirit God known in one land may appear quite differently to the worshippers of another, though it remains the same being. As a branch of spirit-kind descended from Spirits, Spirit Gods are sapient. No language is recorded for them. Their worship is documented in the Freljord and in Zaun. A long list of champions is connected to this race, including Aatrox, Ahri, Anivia, Ashe, Braum, Illaoi, Ivern, Janna, Karthus, Kindred, Lee Sin, Lissandra, Nilah, Ornn, Udyr, Volibear, and Yone.
