We invite you to join us as we unravel the enigmatic past of this excitable yordle, from his frozen slumber to his awakening in an altered landscape. Get ready to embrace the whimsical and tumultuous adventure that defines Gnar's existence.
Before the ice had given the Freljord its name, there existed a land brimming with wonder--that is, if one could see the world through the eyes of Gnar.
A young yordle with boundless energy, Gnar and others like him lived openly among the hardy tribes of the northlands. Though barely big enough to leave footprints in the snow, his temper rivaled that of beasts ten times his size, and he would erupt with a babble of curses the moment anything went amiss. For this reason, he felt more kinship with the greater and wiser creatures, who kept their distance from mortals. To Gnar, they looked like overgrown, white-furred yordles... and that was good enough for him.
While the tribes foraged across the tundra, gathering wild berries and tasty moss, Gnar collected more essential items, like rocks, pebbles, and the muddy remains of dead birds. His greatest treasure was the jawbone of a drvask. When he tugged it from the cold earth, he squealed with glee and flung it as far as he could.
It landed two hops away.
Thrilled by this early success, Gnar carried his "boomerang" wherever he went. The world would try its best to offer him new delights--shiny lint, sweet nectar, round things--but none could match the pure joy he felt in throwing and catching his cherished weapon. He now considered himself a hunter, and trailed herds of wild beasts that paid him no mind.
But even he could sense change coming to the land. The sky seemed darker. The winds felt colder. The mortal tribes who had once foraged together, now appeared to hunt each other...
The big white yordles would know what to do. Gnar would go to them.
Using all of his hunting skill, he tracked them into the snow-capped peaks of a vast mountain range, much farther than he had ever wandered before. As he approached unseen, he also saw more mortals than he could count. This was exciting, but no one else seemed too happy about it.
Then the ground shook, and split apart. For the first time in Gnar's life, it seemed as though everyone else was throwing tantrums. The mortals yelled. The big yordles roared.
But the monster's arrival silenced them all.
Heaving itself up from the newly opened abyss, it bore huge horns, whipping tentacles, and a single eye, burning with strange light that made the fur on Gnar's back crawl. While some mortals fled at the sight, he began to feel an odd pain in his chest--it was like the thought of losing his boomerang, or never being hugged again. This horrible thing wanted to hurt his new friends.
And this made him angry. In that moment, Gnar truly raged.
All he could see was the monster. In a flash, he was in the air, leaping toward it. In one paw, he grasped a snowball... or so he thought. In fact, it was a boulder plucked from the mountainside, for Gnar had grown as large as the big white yordles. He would send this monster back where it came from, by walloping its face!
But the blow never landed. Gnar felt a chill colder than any winter, one that seemed to turn the air itself into ice--truly, this elemental magic froze him in place, biting through his shaggy fur. Everything, including the monster, became quiet. The yordle's strength and anger melted away. A deep tiredness crept into his limbs, and he fell softly asleep.
Gnar napped for a long time. When he finally awoke, he shook the frost from his shoulders, breathing heavily. Everyone else was gone. With no monsters to fight and no friends to protect, he felt very small and alone again.
The land was very different, too. There was snow everywhere, blanketing everything as far as his wide eyes could see. Still, he let out a happy yelp when he saw his beloved boomerang lying beside him, and scurried away to find something to hunt.
Even now, Gnar has no grasp of what took place that fateful day, nor how he escaped. He simply marvels at the world before him, with so many oddities to collect and places to explore.
In another tale we find Gnar living in the snow-covered realm of the Freljord. As a blizzard blankets the land with fresh snow, Gnar is found in a nearby cave, engaged in an artistic endeavor. Frustrated by his attempts to draw in the snow, he curses and expresses his annoyance while clutching a bone boomerang.
Gnar's drawings depict scenes of carefree yordles living among the frigid tribes, alongside towering wild beasts. His drawings are interrupted by footsteps approaching from outside the cave. He readies himself to confront what he believes to be a monster displeased by its portrayal in his artwork.
However, what enters the cave is not a monster but a giant drvask boar, a strange and unexpected visitor. Gnar's initial reaction is confusion at the creature's appearance. The boar, seemingly uninterested in Gnar, settles in the cave's comfort while releasing mist from its breath. Gnar, once again frustrated, throws his boomerang at the boar's head, prompting a dazed reaction.
In an unexpected turn, a colossal yordle emerges from the chaos, significantly larger than Gnar's boar adversary. The two engage in a fierce battle, with Gnar's rage fueling his blows against the boar's tough hide. The fight ends abruptly when the boar kicks Gnar away, causing him to collapse near the cave entrance.
The blizzard intensifies, and it appears that Gnar might not emerge victorious. However, he finds a surge of strength and manages to defeat the boar by propelling it into the cave's walls. The boar lies still, and the blizzard's wails echo the struggle.
As Gnar approaches the boar, he notices its open eyes and the snow around it turning red. These odd details trigger memories of similar scenes from his past, where tribes engaged in chaotic activities that ended with individuals sleeping on red snow. These recollections leave Gnar pensive about his own past and his awakening from a long nap.
In a moment of introspection, Gnar retrieves his boomerang and gazes at the boar, pondering the changes that have shaped his world. He then decides to place snow atop the boar, offering it a "blanket" in its slumber. With a blend of innocence and wisdom, Gnar embraces his newfound reality while reflecting on his past.
As the blizzard continues to rage on, Gnar's actions exemplify his unique perspective, blending childlike wonder with the trials of a world that has changed around him.
