Awesome question, and you chose the right narrative person to ask—I don’t remember if I put on deodorant today.

Anyway, while it’s easy to assume that Sion reeks of rotting flesh, the fact of the matter is, he died a long time ago. When a rat died scampering in the walls when I was growing up, I couldn’t go inside without retching for about a week… but then the smell started to fade. Something that has been dead for decades is beyond rot, beyond putrefaction. It has become as eternal as war. Sion is more likely to boast the odor of cold iron and flames, indistinguishable from the battle around him.

As for Yorick, he’s not really dead, thanks to the Waters of Life hanging in a vial around his neck. I don’t think he showers, though.

And you can’t smell Kalista because she’s not really there. Maybe you’d just catch the ghostly touch of her presence upon the world, like a faint whiff of ozone.

So, that’s what you can look forward to if you meet any of these champions in person. Just smile, be polite, and try to remember: With strange aeons, even stench may die…
