there have always been those within Noxus who did not agree with the evils perpetrated by the Noxian High Command. The High Command had just put down a coup

attempt from the self-proclaimed C rown Prince Raschallion,

and a crackdown on any form of dissent against the new

government was under way. These political and social

outcasts, known as the Gray Order, sought to leave their

neighbors in peace as they pursued dark arcane knowledge.

The leaders of this outcast society were a married couple: Gregori Hastur, the gray warlock, and his wife Amoline, the Shadow witch. Together they led an exodus of magicians and other intelligentsia from Noxus, ressetling their followers beyond the Great Barrier to the northern reaches of the unforgiving Voodoo Lands. Though survival was a challenge at times, the gray Order's colony manage to thrive in a land where so many others would have failed.

Years after the exodus, Gregori and Amoline had a child: Annie. Early on,Annie's parents knew there was something special about their daughter. At the age of two,annie miraculously ensorcelled a shaddow bear - a ferocious denizen of the petrified forests outside the colony -turning it into her pet. To this day she keeps her bear ''Tibbers'' by her side, often keeping him spellbound as a stuffed doll to be carried like a child's toy. The combination o f Annie's lineage and the dark magic of her birthplace have given this little girl tremendous arcane power.
