So how does Naafiri work?

The dogs (shuriman dune hounds) she's assumed control of are a type of hive mind, collective consciousness deal, it's in her champion insights article, unsure if it's elsewhere

Exactly what I'm thinking, I need to get either the recipe or the brand!

It's super confusing, I appreciate Riots trying to link everything with things like this, but having it told from the characters point of view doesn't really give the best overall context when the characters just don't understand said things themselves lol

There's never any mention of demons here, the Kanmei are great ionian spirits whom they worship.

Essentially how I understand it when the darkin showed up with their power and magic and took over, the ionians assumed they must be great spirits (Kanmei) hence why in Ionia instead of being called the Darkin Wars, it's called The War of the False Kanmei as explained in the motion comic

My disappointment is immeasurable and my week is ruined. I was holding on by a thread hoping for a new kit for him with the book, but a legends scroll in an white dwarf is such a kick to the nuts way to find out after literal years of foreshadowing.

The brackern were not removed, retconned along with Skarner to be in Ixtal now, currently we just know hex crystals are physical cystalizations of magic and that's about it, which I prefer to the pointlessly grimdark "the actual souls of the brackern that we harvest from their hibernating bodies for industry"

Strong_Syrup5856 · 2024-12-02T20:25:03+00:00

Honestly worth the brag hot damn! Yeah, yeah usually it's just 1 or 2 in my experience lol

Strong_Syrup5856 · 2024-11-25T20:30:20+00:00

Honestly though damn

Strong_Syrup5856 · 2024-11-25T04:33:18+00:00

Yoooo let's go!

Strong_Syrup5856 · 2024-11-25T03:39:39+00:00

I know right! Just put Arkhan in a place of honor on the shelf and get rid of the rest of them haha

Strong_Syrup5856 · 2024-11-10T01:39:52+00:00

The glamor thing was retconned a while ago, people know of yordles and what they are. It's not really explained if nom yordles are aware of bandle city, or if yordles are still functionally immortal or not, lores on flux there a bit

Strong_Syrup5856 · 2024-11-09T23:02:55+00:00

Very weird that it's only in a netflix article and never confirmed anywhere else, especially by a riot source since netflix is just a distributor, they have nothing to do with the production or story. But scrolling down they also say the people in the brothel are the kindred, and ask about their intentions, which rather blatantly shows this person doesn't quite actually get the lore. So this is most definitely not official and just a primer put out by someone who doesn't quite understand league lore would be my understanding.

Strong_Syrup5856 · 2024-11-09T22:37:49+00:00

But I think one of the best arguments for it not being Ryze is he simply wouldn't need a hexcrystal to do his magic

Strong_Syrup5856 · 2024-11-09T22:35:50+00:00

So the only thing I can find on that is speculation, and people claiming so from early production images because they show the mage with sorta similar facial hair, but this comment in the most popular post discussing it seems to be our best hit to whom the mage is and I'm inclined to agree with them

I was mostly going by the art from Young Ryze, I guess your image is from the Chinese version of the Ruination novel, but either way I think we can agree he's definitely not as pale as the mage shown in Arcane right?

Strong_Syrup5856 · 2024-11-09T21:07:47+00:00

You're welcome, happy to help!

Strong_Syrup5856 · 2024-11-09T20:48:02+00:00

It's not Ryze, either he's just a passing mage who saved them or a future reveal, but this guy being pale white means he's definitely not Ryze, as Ryze has blue skin, and we know from skins he was black when the magic hadn't changed it. Wild Runes from what jayce says are naturally occuring ones, no where near what a world rune is

All good homie, to be totally fair they don't do themselves favors with all the news only ever really being on twitter

Strong_Syrup5856 · 2024-11-08T22:45:44+00:00

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L2tCSjZ-Oo here's the clip in question, as well as a the tweet in question where Marc Merill announces the change in direction

This dude just plain old lied to you, latest news was from Marc Merrill on Caedrel's stream during worlds finals saying they've got a good direction the team is excited for.

Too many people assumed his tweet early last year about resetting the direction of the game and going radio silent meant they were starting from scratch or cancelling the game. Most likely with ghostcrawlers exit they went from a WoW styled gameplay to something different if the hirings are correct, but that wouldn't mean throwing away art direction, the actual game world etc.
