Years of working at the farm made her strong, and in turn, allow her to master the weight of a longsword so much taller and heavier than herself. Alongside her sisters- and brothers- in arms, whose bonds were forged in the heat of battle, a bond she saw as unbreakable, Riven thrived.ĭespite her youth, Riven proved to be a natural soldier. Inspired by warband conscriptors that would frequent Trevale, she would eventually join the Fury Company and pledge her strength to the Noxian Empire.
