He Arcane Arc 1 It is now available on Netflix. It consists of the first three episodes of Season 2. Not only do they serve as an introduction to the conflict that has been unleashed, they also introduce a new faction with their own terrifying power: dark magic. We talk about The Black Rose. But who the hell are they exactly?

The Black Rose is an organization that operates in the shadows of Noxus (and beyond). It is present in the lore of League of Legends

Th is group uses dark magic resulting from the pact between LeBlanc, nicknamed the pale sorceress, and Vladimir. So much so that he even dyed the red roses black, thus giving the organization its name. They have been manipulating the fragile politics of Noxus for centuries to channel it to their own advantage. They crown and depose kings at will, to the point that the authorities had to create the Trifarix: a government of three individuals to strengthen the control of corruption.

Followers of an order that existed long before Noxus, the initiates of the Black Rose have schemed from the shadows for centuries, attracting the rich and powerful to their ranks. Although they know very little about their matron’s origins, many have discovered legends of a pale sorceress who aided barbarian tribes in their fight against the infamous Iron Nightmare, which subjugated lands already devastated by the dark ones. – Official profile of the Pale Sorceress
