Kalista traveled far, consulting learned scholars, hermits and mystics. Hecarim, who had recently become the commander of the Iron Order through a gruesome betrayal known only to himself, took Kalista's place in her absence. The king dispatched Kalista in search of a cure. The greatest priests and surgeons were summoned, but none could draw the poison from her body. When the king's enemies sent an assassin to slay him, Kalista saved his life - but in doing so inadvertently sent the venom-coated dagger at the queen.

She lived by a strict code of honor, serving the throne with utmost loyalty. In an empire that none now recall, resided Kalista, a general and niece of the king. During their time on the island, they would befriend Maokai and be spied on by a connving warden. The Vesani would research the effect the mist had on memories and were able to use its power to enchant golems. Seeking to research the mist, the residents allowed them to stay and aided in constructing their vault. Though Maokai was wary of their presence, he saw their respect for the deep magic within the woods and occasionally revealed himself directly to those he trusted and blessed them with knowledge of the verdant isles, even revealing the Waters of Life to some.Įventually Vesani scholars from Ionia would arrive on the Blessed Isles, intrigued by the Hallowed Mist protecting the island. When humans from an ancient culture expanding westward eventually came to the islands, they formed an enlightened and rich society of scholars devoted to studying the world's mysteries. Nature spirits were drawn to the lavish vegetation, and animals reveled in the fertile greenery. Soon the land was covered with wonderous flora, all steeped in wondrous magic. From these Waters of Life, he grew hundreds of saplings and planted them across the islands. He plunged his roots into a spring of magical, life-giving water and drank deeply. Maokai wandered the isles in search of life, until on a hilly isle covered in soft, rich soil, Maokai sensed boundless magic deep beneath the ground. With its creation, the nature spirit Maokai was born, taking the form of a treant. Long before the Ruination, a chain of islands that would one day be called the Blessed Isles erupted from deep beneath the ocean. He is also a blood relative to Viego and Kalista.
Hidden from outsiders for many centuries, the Blessed Isles enjoyed a golden age dedicated to knowledge, philosophy, and the safeguarding of magical artifacts from across Runeterra.
