My contribution to Leodia Week this year: Crossover AU with Elden Ring 🌞 🌚

For people who know a little bit about ER it should be obvious who they are stand-ins for in the original lore haha. Anyways lore dump for this AU below the cut

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As an infant, Diana was found orphaned by the Knights of Leyndell, Royal Capital. They took her in among their ranks and, once she came of age, allowed her to train with the other initiates, hoping to mold her into a loyal servant of the Golden Order.

During that time she befriended Leona, a fellow knight initiate of mysterious origin with fiery red locks and an even fierier spirit in battle.

However, while Leona remained fully devout to the Erdtree's cause, over the years Diana saw her own faith in the Golden Order begin to waver, especially once she discovered their treatment of non-human races such as the Albinaurics and Misbegotten. She frequently challenged the will of her superiors, becoming a thorn in the side to the Royal Capital.

This tension reached breaking point when as a late teen, Diana was revealed to be an Empyrean, someone capable of forming a connection with an Outer God. And so, Diana's very existence became a threat to the reigning Goddess and the Greater Will. Knowing the schematics of the Golden Order and fearing for her life, Diana fled the Capital.

Leona was heartbroken, for as far as she knew, her friend disappeared overnight. In truth, Diana went on to Liurnia, where she discovered the Full Moon and eventually came to lead the Raya Lucaria Academy.

Years later, Leona, now a Champion of the Golden Order, was tasked to lead the golden host and conquer Leyndell's surrounding territories in the name of the Greater Will. Her aggressive campaign lead her to Liurnia and the front steps of the Raya Lucaria Academy.

She did not expect to see her old friend, now a fully fledged Queen of Caria, standing on the battlefield and single-handedly repelling the Leyndell army's assault, aided by the majesty of the night sky she conjured.

#for what happens next see Radagon and Rennala's lore from Elden Ring it's both fascinating and kinda hilarious #basically Leona (Radagon) was so smitten she immediately gave up on her crusade #repented her sins #and professed her love to Diana (:#also a side note Leona is indeed a secret clone/construct of the Golden Order goddess in this au (going with that interpretation here)#her other eye is inhuman and obscured to hide this connection #(the real reason is I had trouble drawing her other eye but shhhhh)#leodia week #leodia week 2023 #leona league of legends #diana league of legends #art of legends #quail scratches #god I love making weird aus that make sense to no one but me
