DotA 2

==Summary==
Defense of the Ancients (DotA) was originally a multiplayer online battle arena mod for the video game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, based on the "Aeon of Strife" map for StarCraft. The sequel DotA 2 was picked up by Valve. The scenario objective is for each team to destroy the opponents' Ancient, heavily guarded structures at opposing corners of the map. Players use powerful units known as heroes, and are assisted by allied heroes and AI-controlled fighters. As in role-playing games, players level up their heroes and use gold to buy equipment during the mission.
Following Valve's acquisition of DotA, an entirely separate and brand new continuity was made for all of its characters and lore. Characters like Luna was made into a human character rather than a Night Elf from the Warcraft series. Background lore that involved assets from its base game's World Editor (e.g. the Frozen Throne and the Tree of Life, the Sentient and the Scourge) were made into entirely new concepts - but a few fundamental concepts from the original game still remain in DotA 2's lore. Over time, the verse began to expand as Valve and its community members contributed to its ever growing mass of storylines through the implementation of lore ranging from meager writings like hero biographies and item/spell descriptions to official works of art in the form of short comics and playable story campaigns and entire standalone games like Underlords and Artifact.
The lore of DotA 2 is further expanded on with the animated series DOTA: Dragon's Blood. The first season (or book as it is called) follows the tale of Davion the Dragon Knight, as his mundane life of slaying dragons is changed forever when he fuses his being with the very type of creature that destroyed his childhood and gave him his only purpose in life. This fusion also opened his life to new but familiar faces that will soon join him in the highly anticipated battle between the Ancients, a skirmish that belies its cosmic purpose.
