Shepherd of Souls - Yorick quotes 

(note for Just Another Nobody): thanks for doing Yorick! he's my favorite champion and I even main him top lane. Anyways here's Yorick Mori's lore summarized and a TL;DR at the end Yorick was born on the Blessed Isles, which were the Shadow Isles before the Ruination, and he had a mysterious power to see ghosts. Yorick was scared of these ghosts at first, but soon realized they were only trying to find a way to get to the Beyond, as Yorick calls it, or the Afterlife. After Yorick found out that these spirits only wanted help, he started helping them, it was a bittersweet task though because Yorick made new friends but he also never saw them again. Yorick was bullied a lot because everyone thought he was crazy for seeing ghosts and didn't have many friends. Eventually word about Yorick got out to the Brethren of The Dusk who were a religious group of Monks who were recruiting people to join them, and Yorick was the perfect person. Yorick was convinced and went to their monastery. When Yorick got to the monastery he was given a shovel and an amulet filled with the Tears of Life which came from the Blessed Isles sacred spring. Yorick was having a hard time making friends though, just like he did back home, the other Monks were envious of Yorick, since he was born with a gift to see the dead and they had to work for it for years or decades even. One day, as Yorick was tending to the cemetery, and saw a massive cloud of black mist coming towards him, this Mist was worse than anyone could ever imagine, every living thing that was in it's way was devoured by the mist and Yorick even saw people's souls being crudely ripped from their bodies after the Mist started to tell his fellow Monks to take the vial off their neck and join the lost souls in eternity. When the Mist finally reached Yorick it was telling him to take the vial from his neck, but Yorick refused and blacked out. Yorick didn't know how long he'd blacked out, but he saw that he was the only living thing in miles, he would soon learn he was the only living thing on the Isles. The Mist tried to take Yorick by force but it proved futile, instead it wrapped itself around his neck and made a cape of Black Mist on his back made of souls. Yorick found that he could now raise the dead and command them, he also figured out he could summon the Maiden of the Mist, who may or may not be the Ruined Queen. Yorick soon figured out that the Mist came from the Ruined King, he vowed to kill the King and as he would put it 'put the Isles to rest'. *TL;DR:* Yorick can see ghosts and helps them get to the Afterlife. Yorick gets recruited by Monks, Black Mist comes and Yorick figures out he can raise the dead. Yorick also figures out that the Ruined King is responsible for the Ruination fun facts 1. Yorick's last name is Mori 2. Mori is short for the Latin term '_memento mori_' which means "be mindful of death" but Mori by itself just means death, so technically if his name was translated it would be Yorick Death. 3. That voice at the beginning that says "Yorick, look what you've become" is definitely the Maiden of The Mist taunting him The Ruination: When the Black Mist was released and turned the Blessed Isles into the Shadow Isles Yorick lore: universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/story/champion/yorick/ Ruined King shortened lore for those who're interested The Ruined King's wife got poisoned with no known cure and he's so full of grief that he sends Kalista (she used to work for the Ruined King and so did Hecarim) to find a cure for the poison. Months of travelling later she finds the Blessed Isles and talks to some Monks who tell her about the healing properties of the sacred spring. Kalista travels back to the kingdom only to find out that the Ruined King is locked in his tower because his wife died. He asked Kalista if he found a cure for death instead and she said no. The Ruined King was mad with grief at this point so he sent Kalista to jail for treason. Hecarim comes in and convinces her to tell the King about what she found. The King, Hecarim, Kalista and some other soldiers go to the Isles and the King demands they revive his queen. They say no because that would mess up the natural order so he orders Kalista to kill them. Before I tell you what happens next you should know that Hecarim was always jealous of Kalista because she held a higher rank than him. Kalista refuses and Hecarim stabs her through her back, the other soldiers follow what Hecarim did. The last sight Kalista sees before she dies is slaughter. Hecarim, the King and the soldiers press on and get to the sacred spring. Ruined King casts a spell to revive his wife but she begs for the release of death again, he tries to bind their souls but some artifacts underground empower it and he creates the Black Mist by accident. Kalista wakes up, Hecarim gets swallowed by the Mist and his body is combined with his horse and we don't know anything else that happened to the Ruined King and his Queen, the only thing we know is that a huge explosion releasing the Black Mist followed and started the Ruination.

Maiden: "Your human form is so confining. You could be infinite." Yorick: "I am enough." What a gigachad

Yorick sounds incredibly hopeless, he sounds like he knows that everything is breaking apart and there is no stopping it, but he still tries.

Yorick is actually quite positive, dedicated and strong willed.

Yorick sounds so sad and depressed, but its really inspiring when I play him

One would hope he would see the lamb. But no. He saw the wolf.

My favorite yorick quote is "You can be infinite" and yorick responds calmly "I am enough" like thats some BDE i ever saw some

Yorick is basically an unkindled that refuses to go hollow💙

"I'm just happy to have company" Dude... wanna talk about it?...

Yorick is basically Dark Souls within the Leauge of Legengs.

truly tragic this man got the treatment he did in rise of sentinels.

"Grave digger, grave digger pray for my lost soul, release me from this earth allow me to grow old" -Grave Digger Blues Saraceno

oh shtttt "I see the wolf"" goes to kindred right? niceeeee

The things I love about Yorick's story are the facts that he is one of the few inhabitants of the Shadow Isles that isn't completely morphed or corrupted by the Black Mist and still has memories of when it was the Blessed Isles. While he is fighting to keep it at bay and eventually put an end to it, he is constantly tempted, tormented, and mocked by it in the form of the Maiden. It's an interesting take on what could easily have been just a stereotypical necromancer character.

The will of Yorick is unbreakable, but continues to stretch thinner. An inspiring champion, though very depressing...

Yorick may never find peace...... But he fights for the peace

I will come back every 4 months to see how my yorick mains are doing. “ All things fade but me”

Yorwick bio "The last survivor of a long-forgotten religious order, Yorick is both blessed and cursed with power over the dead. Trapped on the Shadow Isles, his only companions are the rotting corpses and shrieking spirits that he gathers to him. Yorick’s monstrous actions belie his noble purpose: to free his home from the curse of the Ruination."

One of the most interesting characters and one of the few baddases in lore. In game a crazy oldman with shovel and ghouls as his goons, and He destroy towers faster than You blink. This.Is.Why.You.Get.Level.7.Mastery.Yorick!

"I see the wolf" For those who see the lamb, they had a peaceful life and will get a peaceful death For those who see the wolf, their death is necesary like the're out of control. I like how no one can oppose kindred.

Yorick embodies the quote, "death is lighter than a feather, duty heavier than a mountain".

Yorick - "My curse is our only hope." Riot - "Yeah, about that..."

Level 400 yorick main here. I feel old. “ Ahhh, yes I remember what laughter sounds like”

yorick isn't your dad like to undo

Yorick is just the only sober guy surrounded by incredibly drunk and annoying voices in his head.

The story of Yorick Morri is a sad one indeed. To never yield just so that he may persevere for his goal. Truly no champion in the game has as strong of a character

4:06 is probably my favorite part. He knows what he's doing is gruesome but in the end it's for one just cause.

I don't know why, but something about the exchange at 2:03 just got to me! Yorick's response is so simple and honest. He doesn't try to deny the maiden's statement or give some grand speech about bravery and perseverance, he simply maintains that "there is some" hope left. Not much, but some.

I used the curse to destroy the curse. A small price to pay for death. Yorick is just a depressed Thanos

" Everyone i knew is dead, It hurts to remember " Shit, that truly stabbed right into my heart

A new one! Hope you have a good day. Also, yorick sounds so sad. Aatrox is pure hate, yorick is tempted by the mist. But both just wanna die. Poor Souls.

"we are stronger,we feed, we grow" typical enemy top lane yorick

Gigachad: "who are you?" Yorick: "I am you, but better"

he deserved more.

Man, Yorick has actually no hope left but he tried because he is the only one left trying.

"At last.... i see the wolf" and yet somehow, i think the Lamb will be his end.

now i wanna see yorick in a cinematic

Damn yorick is way cooler than i gave him credit for, nice job especially with the line about kindred at the end, made me do a double take.

"We are dead much longer than we are alive." So so so very true.

"I AM ENOUGH" It.... It just hurts.

Lets pay out respect to dear forgotten yorick the hero the lore of league deserved for the sentinels of light event. I shall be eternally salty about that. Tell you what they should have done they could have had senna and Lucien corner Viego after finally breaking through the army's of the black mist only to find out that Viego is in a completely different level of power and there was no way for the sentinels to stop the ruined king. It would be at this moment where Maokai and Yorick would join the fight effectively taking the lead now that the sentinels have cleared a path through the blackmist directly to viego. Yorick seals Viego away possibly with a last minute interference from Kalista preventing Viego from making a comeback. Yorick gets to have his final rest, Maokai works on restoring the blessed isle and Thresh becomes the unbound (minus the ghost abs). And NOW the sentinels of light can shine because while the source was stopped thresh is still on the run. The same fiend that tormented Lucien and Senna for so long. So you can make a second sentinels of light event that's about stopping the black mist for good, now under threshes control. And while tresh is still powerful he does not compare to Viego so Lucien and Senna have a realistic chance of stopping him and hey maybe this is where we can add Akshan and everyone else we were supose to care about. I have made this string of events up in 20 minutes and while you can discuss the details its absolutely a step up to FREAKING akshan replacing Yorick and showing him aside. Unbelievable.

Hey guys!

Contact me through Instagram (@vittradottir) or through mail (paulinasofie@hotmail.com) thank you

I rly enjoy how u've incorporated those two spirits in the TTL with the mist maiden when they where talking to yorik, it add more to the all thing in a way I didn't imagine

This champion honestly gives all the satisfaction what you would expect from champion: The design is great, his voice lines are great and the lore *chef's kiss* Perfect. I feel bad for the fact he is so unappreciated in the community.

No one: Me: *HAPPY YORICK MAIN NOISES*

2:12 Never fails to give me goosebumps. That quote is so bone chilling.

Yorick: My curse is our only hope. Akshan: Didn't care, didn't ask. Anyway I'm goofy Aladin. I'm crying rn.

You've covered all my favourite champions of League; Aatrox, Swain, Sylas, Kindred, now Yorick. Only one missing is Urgot... I'd love some Urgot quotes :)

7:04 Yorick is the strongest form of what an emo person can be. He literally fights his demons and knows them very well. What a great example.

03:31 "A futile act, why do you persist?" "Because I must" He sounds so tired...

I also just noticed that you greet us using Yorick's quotes in the last part. I'm loving this too much.

wow, I just started rewatching this series, only to see that you dropped a new video!

10/10 , favorite rework ever. thank you rito

Really good job, putting some of these lines together in different order. It gives his quotes a whole new vibe, it's like listening to an otmost sad story, about a man, who lost all hope. Really nice job, I am looking forward to your next upload :)

This stuff is just amazing. Yorick is a fine addition to the collection. I really love it sooo much♥

This gives a whole new perspective on Yorick. Great job as always!❤️

I love this channel so much, the voicelines are always well chosen.

Yorick has the most self-security in Runeterra and it's admirable.

Just... Amazing. I love all the work you do, and share it whenever possible!!

I have come to love all your videos, the editing and the musical background are beautiful. Can't stop hoping that the "special video" is a Kayle/Morgana one ! Whatever it is, I will honor it like the rest of them ! Keep up the great job !

These videos just keep getting better no matter how many times i watch them. Really great, great job. Keep up the good work and thank you

i have to say , the first interaction with the maiden give me the goosebumps

Omg, I love every video sooo much! I've watched some of them little less then thousand times. Thank you for your work!!

I’ve just started playing yorick but holy fuck man he just speaks to me he’s so amazing I definitely feel like I found my character with him

You must do Mordekaiser. Great job on these dude, keep em coming!!!

Dude you never disappoint me with your video. Just keep making videos like that

Every upload is a treat.

a guardian, a guide who carries a heavy burden that washed away everything from him... still he does what he must with full effect.

Yet another amazing edit that sends chills through me 👌 I have been following for a year now, and I am so happy to see how much recognition you've gotten!!!

Eyyy, my mainnn! Your other videos opened up love for the champions, but this one reminded me of why Yorick has been, is, and always will be my favorite champion.

He was gathering a whole army just to get absolutely no spotlight in ruination. Just a disappointment of an event.

I love Yorick, i've been waiting for this for a long time

What the.. i always watch your vids. And I picked up my Yorick again today after like a year and got him m7 today. Only to see you post a Yorick video at the end of the day. Strange how things feel connected

I watched this video right after rewatching ur aatrox video and holy shit! He is basically a more cool and collected version of aatrox trying to help damned souls. I can't believe how similar their quotes are.

I love how you make me love each champ you make a 'quotes' on x)

Yorick is a great one that seldom been noticed even by lore-knower cuz his low appearance in story how can a person be so quiet, self-knowing, endurable, patient, staunch and kind in heart after living almost hopeless and lonely so many thousand years? how strong-willed should he be to carry all of these but more agony souls? and yet, he is still going and fighting for the once blessed isles, for every soul and life that in need to the very end till that, Yorick shall keep digging, with his tired but coriaceous arms

I love you for uploading 💖

Damn i waited for this so long. perfect christmas gift xD i love these videos, keep it up ^^

Wow, your videos are always fantastic, it seems strange but I like to listen to them while I go around or shower. They are really well made and beautiful, my favourites are Pantheon and Aatrox, but I enjoy and listen all of them. Also some of them gave me skme ideas that I included in my D&D campaing, keep up the good work!

We missed you please make more like this

Still amazing. Please give us Warwick, Sion or Ornn

Next one, please be Mordekaiser... Shady and kinda edgy characters really have most profound stories and philosophical quotes Also great job with picking just the right background music

"All things fade" - Yorick Did someone summon me -Kindreth

I absolutely love your videos especially those with the voices from league. The way you combine them with music that fits perfectly the character... Some gave me goose bumps. Keep it goin, u got me addicted to those vids.

I waited for it so long, ty

Yorick: This isnt our destiny.... Roit: Times changed...

You are amaizing with doing that quotes

great job man as always

It's interesting that Yorick wants to die but he refuses to do so as long as the blessed waters allows him because he doesn't want to become part of the mist. Rather he communicates and controls the mist walkers somewhat as a means to stop the curse on the isles, through his own personal curse of being able to speak with the dead. Then once the Isles have been cleansed he will finally get to rest. He is 1000 years old and has been living surrounded by the mist for around 975 of those depending on how old he was when Viego (and the ruination) came. TL;DR - Once Yorick bonks Viego hard enough in the head he'll lay down his shovel and go to sleep.

tldr: A stoic during apocalypse.

yorick and kindred have got to be the best lines thx did i miss the ruin king quote? listened twice didn't hear it ,....the ruin kings allies will fall with him ,.....
