Arcane: A Spark Among the Gears

In the aftermath of a fierce conflict on the bridge between Piltover and Zaun, a severely wounded boy named Orion is rescued by an older enforcer called Grant. Orion, missing an eye and part of his arm, awakens in Grant’s home where he slowly recovers. Though he struggles with his injuries, he displays a surprising knack for mechanics—enough to begin tinkering with a half-finished prosthetic arm in a small workshop behind Grant’s house.



As he adapts to Piltover’s cautious hospitality, Orion senses the deep divide between this gleaming City of Progress and the undercity he once called home. Still, he focuses on regaining his independence and refining the mechanical arm, quietly learning the city’s ways. Amid simmering tensions and uncertain loyalties, Orion’s determination to rebuild his life hints at greater possibilities yet to come.



The story starts off a bit fast, but the pace will gradually slow as it progresses.
