Is Xerath supposed to be a villain or not? You said that this wasn't supposed to be a black and white, Azir-good Xerath-evil story, but then you claimed that Xerath won in the fight with Nasus 'because the good guys can't win at the beginning'.

Hey, wondering that now Shurima is such a big thing, if we're going to see a permanent Shurima map?? Just think it would be cool. (It would also be cool for a Freljord map) It would also be nice for these to be something maybe rift sized or similar. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

Is it just me or does it feel like Nasus was made weaker for the sake of making Xereth stronger or something? Idk it just feels that way to me

I was looking for the podcast, but I found that except for 3 episodes, all things are gone. Why's that?

So because Shurima worships the sun (as does Targon's Solari, but that's an unrelated topic) but AurelionSol made the sun, does that mean that the sun isn't a sentient deity or is it because it still provides power for ascension?
