Mount Targon
Climbing the mountain is as much a spiritual trial as a physical challenge. Few ever reach its summit.

The ascent is an ordeal
The highest peak in Runeterra attracts pilgrims seeking wisdom, purpose or transformation. Its extreme elevation and changing conditions make the climb deadly. Reaching the summit is not an ordinary mountaineering achievement: in some stories, the journey leads to an encounter with celestial powers.
Why this place matters
Leona, Diana, Taric and Atreus demonstrate that the outcome is not one uniform reward. The mountain connects mortal decisions with forces whose purposes may be difficult to understand. Its lower slopes, meanwhile, remain home to communities with practical needs and distinct beliefs.
