Now dragged to court, Riven faced trail for the murder of Elder Souma, whom she currently had no true recollection of ever meeting. Then, she learned that the master she'd sought help for to destroy her blade had perished, and that in seeing her blade, the Ionian soldiers have new evidence as to who might have done it. Once she'd regain her health, Riven would help them in the fields until one day Ionian soldiers came for her. There, she would be taken in by a pair of Ionian farmers, distraught over the lost of their own sons, but unwilling to live in the past and fully ready to embrace the future. She wandered the Ionian countryside, deciding exile was a better price for someone who'd wrought as much damage as she.Д®ventually, her travels would return her to the village where she'd broken the sword. Seeing the assistance of a windblade master, Riven would have it shattered, but even that failed to bring her peace. Disgusted with the betrayal, Riven had come to hate the blade that saved her life, her final tie to Noxus. Memories of the event would only come to Riven later in nightmares, but the impact was enough. One of complete utter betrayal and atrocity. There she realized the high cost of the war bent not on expanding Noxus's borders or spreading its ideals, but one of complete and utter annihilation. Saved from the toxic mist by the magic in her Runeblade, Riven could only watch in horror as both family and foe slowly choked to death on the poisonous fumes. Chemical flames burst from the wagon, engulfing Noxian and Ionian alike, leaving to suffer a slow agonizing death. Riven had instinctively drawn her sword, but it wasn't enough to protect anyone but herself. It would be the last Captain Riven would ever do.ДЄ flaming arrow, flown from the ridgeside, embedded itself into the wagon.

Seeing the opposition, Riven called Emystan for backup. Stranded on a muddy landslide during a rainstorm, the Ionian resistance saw an opportunity. It was the land itself was fighting back. This campaign, much like the others, was met with strong resistance. The soldiers, the weapons' purpose, something was off. Riven had been glad to put her life on the Altar of the Noxian Empire across countless campaigns, but the something had been off about this one. The warband's leader, a commander by the name of Emystan, had just commissioned weapons from a Zaunite alchymist, and was eager to test them out. Fury Company was eventually assigned to escort another warband, through the embattled Navori Province. The war dragged, and it became clear that Ionia would not kneel. Not long after, Riven and her warband would sail for Ionia, intended to take part of the long planned Noxus-led occupation. So strong was her dedication, that it got her noticed by Boram Darkwill, the emperor of Noxus, who bestowed Riven her own massive runic blade, said to be enchanted by a certain pale sorceress in his court. Years of working at the farm made her strong, and in turn, allow her to master the weight of a longsword so much taller and heavier than herself. Alongside her sisters- and brothers- in arms, whose bonds were forged in the heat of battle, a bond she saw as unbreakable, Riven thrived.Дespite her youth, Riven proved to be a natural soldier. Inspired by warband conscriptors that would frequent Trevale, she would eventually join the Fury Company and pledge her strength to the Noxian Empire. Working a farm wasn't her lifelong goal, however. Her father had been a soldier, slain in battle and her own mother was said to not survived the birth, leaving young Riven to work the farms as an orphan. Riven was born on a farm in the coastal farming village of Trevale, in Noxus.
