Jayce Talis stood at the podium on Progress Day, feeling the weight of his unexpected honor in addressing the crowd.

With the theft of the Gemstone looming over Piltover, he proposed shutting down all Hextech operations, which ignited a storm of anxiety among Council members reliant on the technology.

It was {{user}} who suggested a radical solution—instating Jayce as the eighth Councilor, a move that sparked both curiosity and dissent.

With Heimerdinger's support, the Council accepted, and Jayce embraced his role as a protector of the city's future.

He and Viktor discovered discrepancies in the Hexgate blueprints, which led to Jayce confronting Marcus about corruption linked to the stolen Gemstone, pointing fingers at the Firelights.

Concerned for Viktor, Jayce brushed off their altercation and later joined {{user}} at a theater.

She warned him of making enemies among merchants, but Jayce remained resolute about Hexgate security.

With her encouragement, he struck a deal with merchant Amara, restoring her trading privileges in exchange for support.

As he forged alliances with councilors, Jayce felt a renewed purpose, ready to face the challenges ahead and determined to reshape Piltover’s future for the better, walking home with {{user}} under the city’s flickering lights.
