Darkrider Sejuani's Boar-ing Vacation Sale

Summoners, I have a dilemma – my boar, Bristle, has gone home to the tundra for vacation while I have stayed the course on the Fields of Justice, and I miss him terribly. What is the Darkrider without her ride? Her faithful companion? It˘s been a whole 20 minutes since I˘ve uploaded an adorable picture of him to Facebook. I long for battle, summoners, but this lull in the fight has already taken its toll. Let me get straight to the point – I am bored. Bristle was always the one to suggest what to do on a Saturday night, or take me to the trendiest restaurants in the Freljord, or know which taverns have the best happy hours, shoe shopping, which lane to gank…

Find me a companion while Bristle is away with his adorable boar family. Cure me of this languishing boredom at any cost and we˘ll see about saving you some cold, hard RP on whoever doesn˘t make the cut.

• Volibear is an excellent substitute for my Bristle, yet he has a strict “no-riding” policy. As the Darkrider, I cannot fight my natural urge to ride atop powerful beasts. 487 RP.
• Xin Zhao is strong and persevering – a true warrior. But I fear his darting around from foe to foe would cause him to quickly lose interest in the conversation. 487 RP.
• Brand is made of fire. As the Winter˘s Wrath, I decline on principle. 487 RP.

• Reverse Annie is young and I fear we would have little in common and nothing to discuss. I am looking for stimulating conversation, not a babysitting gig! 487 RP.
• Bandit Sivir would make an excellent companion on the hunt, and I would be glad to have the Battle Mistress at my side. However, I promised Bristle I˘d never hunt without him. It˘s kind of our thing. 487 RP.
• Hextech Anivia is a modern marvel of engineering, but – ironically enough – doesn˘t hold up in cold weather. I˘m no mechanic, but those gears and rotors will quickly freeze-up in the Freljord. Not safe for this bird. 487 RP.

These sale prices shall last from September 25 to September 28, so get them now before my boar returns. Ah, how I long to see my Bristle. And don˘t you dare call me a “crazy boar lady.” You˘d make excellent pig food.
