I - Background

As the royal family of Demacia for centuries, members of the Lightshield line have spent their lives waging war against any who opposed Demacian ethics. It is said that every Lightshield is born with anti-Noxian sentiment in his blood. Jarvan IV is no exception, even though he is the first Lightshield born to the age of the League of Legends. As his forefathers had before him, he led Demacian troops into bloody engagements with Noxian forces, and on many occasions he has bled alongside wounded allies and fallen comrades. In his most crushing defeat, he was outmaneuvered and captured by a Noxian battalion under the command of Jericho Swain. This mistake nearly cost him his life at the hands of Urgot, but he was rescued by the Dauntless Vanguard, an elite Demacian strike force led by Jarvan's childhood companion, Garen.

Those close to him believed that his capture changed him. Xin Zhao was quoted as saying: ''His eyes never seemed to look at you, only through you to something he could not look away from.'' One day, without warning, Jarvan IV handpicked a squad of Demacian soldiers and left Demacia, vowing to find ''atonement''. He began by tracking and hunting the most dangerous beasts and bandits he could find in northern Valoran, but he soon tired of such prey. Seeking something that only he understood, he ventured south of the Great Barrier. He wasn't heard from again for nearly two years. After many had assumed the worst, he returned to glorious fanfare on the streets of Demacia. His Demacian plates were adorned with the bones and scales of creatures unknown. His eyes bore the wisdom of someone twice his age. Of the twelve soldiers who had departed with him, only two returned. In a tone as cold and steady as steel, he swore to bring the enemies of Demacia to their knees.

''There is only one truth, and you will find it at the point of my lance.''

III - Introduction

This is my first build.
I know how to jungle with Olaf, Warwick, Udyr, Shaco, and Rammus.
So, I have a decent amount of knowledge on how to jungle.
If you have any suggestions or what-not comment and I'll get back to you.
This is still a work in progress.

IV - Runes

((greater mark of desolation))Greater Mark Of Desolation // For Armor Penetration.
((greater glyph of warding))Greater Glyph of Warding // For Magic Resist
((greater seal of resilience))Greater Seal of Resilience // Flat Armor
((greater quintessence of desolation))Greater Quint of Desolation // MORE Armor Pen!

The ((greater seal of resilience)) helps greatly for jungling at early levels.

Optional:
((greater glyph of focus)) Might also help by decreasing cooldowns.
((greater seal of fortitude)) Might also help by giving you bonus health to jungle.
But honestly, I prefer the flat armor that ((greater seal of resilience)) gives.
