Nidalee Lore Rework Idea
As I was looking at the map an idea came to me - what if
was descended from an Ascended being? I know the popular belief is that she has diluted Vastayan blood, but I thought it might be interesting if they changed that due to the jungle's proximity to Shurima now. The Hierophant of Zuretta believes herself to be a descendant of the Ascended, Setaka, so there is some precedent for Ascended beings potentially having offspring. You could even tie those things together into a story of their own - perhaps the Hierophant is not a true descendant of Setaka but Nidalee and her family are. The Hierophant sends Nidalee and family on an impossible quest to the jungle, knowing they would fail, and hoping to get them out of the way in case they tried to challenge her leadership... little does she know that Nidalee has survived and lives on.
Just a silly little idea - let me know what you think!
