Amidst the chaos, King Jarvan III is mysteriously assassinated.Īs Sylas escapes the city, he is intercepted by Garen Crownguard-Lux's brother and captain of the Dauntless Vanguard-who is furious that Sylas betrayed Lux's trust and assumed he was also responsible for the king's death. When she leaned in to give him a hug, he absorbed her magic and escaped from his bondage, freeing numerous mages and inciting a riot across the city. On the day Sylas is set to be executed, Lux visits him one last time to give a tearful farewell. With his power to channel magic, these chains could act as a battery for him to steal and expend magic at will. From this research, Sylas learned the truth about his petricite shackles: they don't actually nullify magic, but absorb it. This included the classified research of the Durand architects, whose work with petricite had armed the nation-and thus the Mageseekers-with the power to counteract magic. He was imprisoned for 15 years in the Great City until a surprise visit from Lux Crownguard, a sympathetic young aristocrat that was struggling to hide her magic.Īs their friendship grew, Sylas would teach Lux to control her power, and she would bring him books to read about the outside world. He could not control this new power and ended up killing his fellow Mageseekers and the mage. One day, he took pity on another mage child and discovered his ability to channel the power of other mages. Sylas of Dregbourne was born able to sense magic within others, so the Mageseekers recruited him as a child to seek out hidden mages. They are persecuted by the Mageseekers: a military order tasked with protecting the country against magic, chiefly by imprisoning mages or indoctrinating them into their ranks. In the nation of Demacia, magic is as natural as the soil on the ground, but mages are not free.
