Lore

Trials of the Realm Bio:
"The sacred site where Jenos ascended to the heavens and communed with the Cosmos. The mountain is home to a great many faithful and serves as a destination for pilgrims, as well as a refuge for the lost."

Other Information:

Ascension Peak is the mountain Jenos climbed centuries ago. After stepping into the stars, a group of loyal followers and monks were left behind; Buck would later climb Ascension Peak as a monk as well.

When Jenos returned, news spread quickly, eventually reaching House Aico. Khan, the Primus of House Aico was sent to recruit Jenos to their ranks, but they were refused. They retaliated by putting Ascension Peak under siege, though they were eventually defeated by the Resistance.

Ascension Peak also appears to be located near the Thousand Hands main base of operations, as seen in the official map of the Realm.

This information comes from Jenos' bio, as well as the Siege of Ascension Peak lore cinematic.

As can be seen in Trials of the Realm, Ascension Peak is part of a larger area known as the 'Lunar Coast', alongside the Shattered Desert and the Thousand Hands Guild.

Hazard(s)

Deadly Waters

The waters that surround this map are deadly to the touch and have the same kill mechanics as those of a cliff ledge, making champions with knockback abilities ideal for easy eliminations. Champions that lack flight/teleportation abilities are susceptible to being launched off the map without having any sort of means for recovery...
