So, I have been playing dota 2 for the last 11 years and...

There's this piece of lore between two characters, Skywrath Mage and Vengeful Spirit that has always fascinated me because the ANGST is... unmatched.

I'll just leave this here:

and this one too:

So, they basically knew each other before the whole coup, he had feelings for her, but he couldn't save her when everything happened because he wasn't aware of her sister's plans. And now, there's nothing he can do because his powers are sealed to the queen he serves.

FEEL THE ANGST.

There's also lines that can be triggered during certain events on the game, like meeting an ally or killing an hero, but most important of all, it's very interesting way to understand the relationship between 2 characters. These are Vengeful Spirit lines when killing Dragonus:

Like... She hates him. She truly believes he knew about the coup and didn't do anything to help her, when in reality, he truly didn't know.

His lines, on the other hand:

In other words: BOY IS A SIMP. Simple as that.

I started to play dota 2 in 2013 and, as a good fangirl that I am, of course these two picked my interest because LOOK AT THIS. So tragic. So much potential.

And then, in the year of our Lord 2024, Valve decided to launch a game event with items, game modes, blabla, AND A COMIC that basically continues Venge and Sky story. Link is here: https://www.dota2.com/crownfall/comic

Super cool. But the best part comes now:

Yeah.

THEY'VE BEEN TOGETHER ALL THIS TIME. I REPEAT, THEY'VE BEEN TOGETHER ALL THIS TIME.

OMG I WON SO MUCH TODAY, GUYS. I'm sure no one cares about Dota 2 lore but I just needed to share with the world HOW MUCH I WON TODAY.

(Why all the hate lines for him? I don't know, maybe Dragonus managed to talk to Shendel along the way and they have been together since then? Maybe she's faking because she doesn't want her sister to kill her lover? So many theories OMG.)

And best thing is: the story will continue through the next months. There will be other comics, other pieces of lore. If you know Valve, you know how much this means because they're literally not very aware of the potential dota 2 lore has. So, yeah, this is huge.
