The story of Spirit Blossom

The Spirit Blossom Festival is a very old tradition in Ionia. During this time, the door between the mortal world and the spirit world opens. Spirits of all kinds visit the living, and people honor their ancestors and the natural forces around them.

Two types of spirits appear during the festival. The Kanmei spirits guide souls to peace, while the Akana spirits try to lead souls away from their path.

Kindred plays a major role. In Ionian belief, Kindred is made of two beings: Lamb, a child who offers a peaceful end, and Wolf, a beast who hunts down those who run from death. They move through the spirit world as one, always together and always ready to guide souls.

Sett is another important spirit. He was born from a Kanmei spirit and an Akana spirit. After being betrayed, Sett now wanders the afterlife, challenging warriors to test their strength.

Other champions also have strong stories:

• Aphelios and Alune are twin spirits who create the night sky.
• Cassiopeia is a spirit of temptation, once a princess who disappeared.
• Master Yi is the Spirit of Legacy, searching for a new student after being betrayed.
• Lillia is a fawn spirit trapped in endless nightmares.
• Soraka mourns souls she could not save.
• Thresh tempts souls away from salvation and traps them forever.
• Tristana brings chaos and luck to anyone she meets.
• Syndra frees lost souls from their chains.
• Vayne hunts a demon that destroyed her clan.
• Yorick is a spirit of ruin, growing cursed gardens where he walks.
• Evelynn feeds on people's deepest desires and pains.
• Yasuo and Yone are two brothers whose tragic battle shaped their fates.

The story of Spirit Blossom Beyond

The event lasted until August 24, 2020. It was one of the biggest events Riot Games had ever launched, and it introduced players to a new way of exploring champion lore through the spirit world.

Is Spirit Blossom Kindred a child?

In Ionian stories, Spirit Blossom Kindred is made up of Lamb, a child, and Wolf, her fierce companion. Lamb represents a peaceful end, while Wolf brings a faster, more violent death to those who run. Together, they form one spirit of death, always moving as a pair.

Spirit Blossom Kindred’s design shows this relationship clearly. Lamb has flowing hair and soft features, while Wolf looks powerful and protective. Lamb may look like a child, but she is part of an eternal being that represents death itself.
