Does Kindred prefer creamy, or crunchy peanut butter?

Who wrote "A Good Death"? I found it so serene and beautiful. If it has a book, I'd totally take a look.

In the Kindred splash art, they are hovering over a body. Is that the Ruined King?

Can Kindred's masks be removed?

Sorry if this is somewhat of a dumb question. :D

Is there any lore between Kindred and Karthus?

Also with lore, is there any plans for making a cinematic version of the 'A Good Death' in the near future?

Thanks! ~

Are they "evil" or can they be classified as positive?

What are Kindred's thoughts about resurrection? They dont seem to like the undead of the Shadow Isles, but what about Azir Azir ? Considering that he has died once before, do the Kindred remember meeting him at his end (if they were there that is)?

What makes Kindred interact directly with someones death as opposed to someone dying from natural causes?

So there is alot of interest in Kindred's combined view of the shadow isles and the ilk that calls it home, and there has also been alot of questions revolving around the other "mythical/legend" characters, but what of the celestial Soraka ? Could there be some who have escaped Wolf's bite by seeking the protection of Soraka, or even Soraka turning away aid due to Kindred's claim?

Who's the dead king in Kindred's splash? Any backstory on him and why/how he died?

Roughly when and where does A Good Death take place? Excellent story!

What are some skill removals / major changes that happened during Kindred's development?

There will be a draw in the extended Lore about pre-split Kindred? Or sometimes in the future?
