I like the covers of the Omnibus and how they look but the deluxe edition's quality is better ( what i assume ). Which do you prefer? (Should i watch the anime to get into it?)
No idea why it says βalongβ instead of βlong.β Oh well, my bad.

just think as a new player, you look at a skill which title says literallly "immortal" but when you read the description "oh surprise, you are not immortal in any f* way" just a little harder.
So, I'm a total lore whore, and I felt like I dissecting this, because lore.
What many people fail to realize is that, with League's storytelling, particularly with their alternate universes, rather than releasing actual short stories or little cinematics, they usually rely upon visual storytelling. Often, this is through champion's ingame models and abilities, and also within their splash arts, and this is no more present than with the newest addition of Immortal Journey skins. The skins that are important to this discussion are Majestic Empress Morgana, Enduring Sword Talon, Divine Sword Irelia, Valiant Sword Riven, and Splendid Staff Nami.
What we know of the story so far is that, Morgana, seeks Talon's draconic power, which was sealed away by Irelia, whom had sealed it away after defeating Talon in a fight. We also know that, after having been defeated in a fight by Morgana, the seal, Irelia, had placed began to weaken, and some of Talon's draconic power was reintroduced into the world, with Nami having gained an unknown portion of it, herself having originally been a koi fish. Here's their skin bios, just for evidence.
Splendid Staff Nami: "When the demigoddess Irelia was bested by a heavenly empress, the seal over Talon's draconic power began to weaken... allowing some of his magic to leak into the world. Once a mere fish who dreamed of being a dragon, Nami has received some of this power, and has found her true form beginning to awaken."
Majestic Empress Morgana: "A feared sorceress queen from the heavenly kingdoms, Morgana looked on with disdain as Irelia sealed away the power of a dragon. Crushing her in combat, Morgana soon realized the young demigoddess had hidden that power away, and now ruthlessly searches for a way to return it to its rightful owner."
Divine Sword Irelia: "Long ago, the demigoddess Irelia challenged a headstrong dragon king to a duel, defeating him before all the members of his assembled court. In his hubris, he lashed out at her, and in return she sealed his power within her sacred blade, so that he might find humility among humankind."
Enduring Sword Talon: "A haughty dragon king of the south seas, Talon accepted a duel from the demigoddess Irelia, only to be defeated in his own throne room. Humiliated, he lashed out at her⦠and she sealed his power within her blade, tasking him with finding new purpose in the mortal realm."
Something else that should be noted is that Talon, or rather his draconic pow

I'm a new author.... well I released my book back in 2018 anyway, but it's my only one so far and I still count myself as new. I thought with all the craziness going on in the world right now and people stuck at home / losing their jobs, I'd try to do my little bit and make my book free for the foreseeable future until things start to return to normal. Hopefully it will help people pass the time and take them to somewhere.... well quite frankly less pleasant if I'm honest. I'm not selling this very well am I?

Summary
Quote - C.S.Lewis: "Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again."
Immortals' Requiem is a fantasy for grown ups with lots of supernatural and powerful beings battling it out in a modern day city, with a rather surprising amount of collateral damage. There's none of that 'Twighlight' lovey-dovey stuff here. The beings in this book are neither pleasant nor romanticized. These Fae-folk will literally rip out your heart and eat it rather than pulling their shirts off for no apparent reason!
===============
Blurb
There are beings that live a shadow's breadth from our reality...
They are the dreams and nightmares of humanity, the ancient seeds of fairy-tale and superstition. These are the Immortals, creatures of magic that should live forever... and they are fading.
When a horror two thousand years dead returns to contemporary England, creatures long thought lost to myth and legend collide in a scramble for survival that could tumble civilisation back into the dark ages of blood and death.
Immortalsβ Requiem is a Tolkienesque grimdark fantasy based in both a modern day city and vast supernatural worlds. If you like the idea of a drunken elf with a shotgun, an ancient warrior with a chainsaw and a whole host of violent supernatural beings then you'll not want to miss this!

Notes
- Read if you enjoy authors such as Glen Cook, George R.R. Martin, Michael Moorcock, Joe Abercrombie, Steven Erikson, Mark Lawrence, Scott Lynch, Richard K. Morgan, Joss Whedon etc.
- You can check out the reviews on the US amazon page. In case it confuses people the book starts way back in the past with flowery language, but very quickly shoots forward in time to an Elf downing drinks in a present day city.
- The book follows numerous character timelines from different points of view. If you like books that only follow a single character

not sure why jug is on the list but his WR and PR is keep going down
The idea came to me while re-listening to the Doomsday argument episode. If we assume that life extension technology comes online soon enough to carry a significant portion of us into what I think is going to be a pretty fantastic future then it could be a bit like having a really low numbered SteamID. Not exactly earth-shattering or enough to Grant celebrity status but definitely something that at least some people will find notable or interesting. At the very least I imagine it will be a conversation starter for some of us.
I can just picture my great great great great ancestors (oops! Descendants, not ancestors) rolling their eyes as I tell them fantastic stories about dial up internet and flip phones for the hundredth time.
"Sonny boy I was reading about Banks Orbitals before this ring was even a sparkle in your great great great grandpas circuits!"
Once upon a time, raid free units were game changing. Nowadays, people barely even notice them outside of their trust masters and former fusion-hell. This is understandable, given that most reviews are in terms of resource management, which includes pulls, enhancement spendings, and the occasional rare "others". That, and raid free units typically kind of suck in comparison to their current equivalent-star bases. These units, however, do benefit newer players with a limited unit pool, and as such, will be written with that in mind.
As this is a new unit with a 7β with alot of moves, I'll go a little more in depth than I would normally do (which is happening alot more now). Without further ado...
