The world of Valorant has never been the same since the mysterious event known as First Light. Taking place about ten years before the Venice attack, it set off a global shockwave whose repercussions are still felt to this day.
THE DETAILS AND IMPACTS OF FIRST LIGHT
While the exact details surrounding First Light remain unclear, the impact it had on the world is undeniable. The political upheaval brought about a redistribution of power on a global scale. Economically, new markets emerged while others collapsed. Ecologically, some ecosystems were revitalized while others were disrupted, leading to major changes in wildlife and plant life.
THE RADIANTS: A GIFT OR A CURSE?
The most tangible and direct manifestation of First Light is without doubt the appearance of the Radiants. These individuals, endowed with superhuman abilities, are both admired and feared. Their appearance has given rise to a great deal of speculation. Some see them as gifts from First Light, while others see them as a reminder of the potential dangers of playing with the forces of nature.
THE VALORANT PROTOCOL: A NECESSITY
Faced with the scale of the changes and the potential threats posed by the Radiants, establishing order became imperative. It is with that in mind that the VALORANT Protocol was set up. Under the direction of Brimstone and Viper, and with the support of agents from all over the world, this organization works to preserve the balance and to control the forces unleashed by First Light.
