Here's a concise, valuable rewrite focused on Isolde's character and story:

Isolde was a poor seamstress who became Queen of Camavor after marrying King Viego. Her death and subsequent events led to the catastrophic Ruination that forever changed Runeterra.

Background

Originally a humble seamstress from a rural Camavor colony, Isolde crafted the doll Gwen and lived a simple life until King Viego fell in love with her at first sight. Their marriage was passionate but distracted Viego from his royal duties, creating political tension.

When an assassin's poisoned blade accidentally struck Isolde instead of Viego, she slowly succumbed to the poison. Despite Camavor's best healers' efforts, she died before a cure could be found in the Blessed Isles.

The Ruination

Desperate to revive his wife, Viego invaded the Blessed Isles and used their sacred Waters of Life on Isolde's corpse. She was resurrected but returned as a tormented revenant who, in her confusion and agony, stabbed Viego with his own blade. This triggered the catastrophic Ruination, transforming the Blessed Isles into the Shadow Isles and corrupting all life there.

Legacy

After the Ruination, Isolde's soul shattered into 13 fragments that scattered across Runeterra. These fragments manifested in various objects and beings, including:

• The doll Gwen (representing youthful joy)
• Senna (representing fierce protection)
• The Maiden of the Mist (representing pain)
• Various artifacts across different regions

Years later, when Viego attempted to reassemble her soul, Isolde chose true death over returning to her obsessed husband, seeing how his love had become destructive. She asked Akshan to grant her final rest using his Absolver weapon.

Personality and Legacy

Isolde was known for her kindness and skill as a seamstress. While she genuinely loved Viego in life, she ultimately recognized that their relationship had become toxic and chose to sacrifice herself to protect Runeterra from his obsession. Her story serves as a tragic reminder of how love can turn destructive when taken to extremes.
