Lyrics:
Hear my plea to the fallen
Leave me to be with the broken
one last time before I go
Hold the last burning ember
Let us never surrender
May we rise unto the Call
For the Glory and the Fall
For the beat and the broken
For the lost and forsaken
Let us never surrender
May we rise unto the Call
For the beat and the broken
For the lost and forsaken
Let us never surrender
For the Glory and the Fall
For the beat and the broken
For the lost and forsaken
Let us never surrender
Now we rise unto the Call
(For the beat and the broken)
Chains that we are breaking
Fate that we are awaiting
We will rise unto the Call
(Rise unto the Call)
For the Glory and the Fall

I heard that the one in 1:25 is not Volibear but one of his worshippers. They worshipped him so much that turned like him and the actual one is the image that was shown at 1:29, his actual size. Terrifying yet amazing.

[@Walkers012]

[@popamihnea6695]

Yes. Well Volibear is a God so he could be infinite. He eve has a quote where he says " i am the storm " and the bear might just be the embodiment of the storm. And yes that one is either a shaman or a spiritwalker. In Udyrs lore when they go to get help from the worshipers of Volibear, they are met with abominations and disfigured half man half beasts creatures turned by some magic

[@BurningLove73]

yup those are the Ursine. the most devote worshippers of Volibear, in his true form. not to be confused with the cultist-shamans that worship Voli as 'The thousand Pierced Bear' which summons him as an eldritch abomination.

Once he fell, however, he saw the remnants of "war" and it reminded him of who he is and why he fights, his willpower returned and the power of the aspect of war returned to him. It is very fitting. "In the skies, they see war. But on earth, there is only carnage."

[@kingofgrunder5494]

I read that story too. And I think I know what happened. Atreus was able to tap into the Pantheon's powers due to his indomitable mortal will. But after Viego, his will to fight was broken. I think that after he talked with Iula, and ventured to this place, his will to fight was reignited. His powers restored.

The whole cinematic talks about the various relationships between humans and gods; Olaf and Sejuani passing through Volibear's territory, Kai'sa and Taliyah uncovering the lost civilization of Shurima, once ruled by their gods, and fighting forces from beyond, the Void. Pantheon, the one human with the only purpose to kill the gods who strike him down along with his comrades. It all starts and ends with the work of Ornn, the blacksmith god that plays in favor of humans and represents their inner strenght, unique and unbeatable. As always, League cinematics are godlike.

Although very funny to see ornn just forging while everyone is fighting, his scenes are so lore heavy. He promised 1000 yers ago (or some like that) that he would never make another weapon unless there was a big threat in the world. This gives us the signal that the main event this year is going to be something big (and we all hope its the void event). Hopefully this delivers what the ruination failed to give.
