History[]

Maritime Trade Routes[]

Millennia ago, settlers from the forgotten lands of the distant east would migrate westward across this ocean, reaching the shores of the Shuriman Continent and Valoran, bringing all their ancient knowledge and wisdom with them. In time, their descendants would come to rule some of the greatest civilizations Runeterra has ever known.

In the millennia following this migration, the ocean became a bustling thoroughfare, hosting multiple trade routes utilized by Camavor to engage in commerce with civilizations such as Ixtal and Buhru.

After the Ruination of Helia, the use of these trade routes would greatly diminish as Camavor fell into ruin. Within the wake of Rune Wars, knowledge of the Camavoran Continent would dissappear from Valoran and the Shuriman Continent. It would take seven hundred years before the ocean routes would be used again.

Destruction of the Oovi-Kat tribe[]

The Oovi-Kat tribe, who lived on a remote island on the ocean, were destroyed by an undisclosed cataclysm. The elders of the tribe sacrificed themselves to allow some of the remaining Vastaya to escape with their lives. Neeko, being among them, took the form of a bird and fled the smoldering destruction as her home faded into the border between realms.

Days later, Neeko became exhausted and clung to a plank of driftwood in the Eternal Ocean. She eventually came across a mercantile vessel travelling for Harelport and crept aboard.

Increased Maritime Activity[]

In an attempt to find answers about Viego's imprisonment, Nilah crosses the Eternal Ocean in search of the Sentinels of Light, becoming the first Kathkani to step foot on Valoran in over seven hundred years.

As awareness of the Camavoran Continent spreads, expeditions from Valoran and the Shuriman Continent to the lost land become increasingly common. During one such expedition, a group of beastmasters from Noxus manages to capture a dragon hatchling from the Camavoran highlands, only to meet a fiery demise at the hands of the enraged mother as they flee across the ocean.
