Swain Speaks The Future Releases?

Since the Swain rework last January, I listened to his interactions as he takes memories or thoughts from the other champs (via soul fragments). What was strange that some of these interactions corresponded to the champions and reworks released this year.

  1. "So he's heard the rumors, the girl who came back.": this correlates to the release of kai'sa, which is supposedly kassadin's daughter, who fell into the void and adapted to it.
  2. "They fight the mist above the seas, never looking beneath.": this correlates somewhat to pyke, who drowned in bilgewater lore who resides deep underwater, betrayed from his crew cutting the line being fed to... a jawl.. jahl... jaw? Whatever the fish is called they were hunting. The "never looking beneath" part of that quote refers to pyke remaining underwater.
  3. "Am I to seek revenge for my poor departed arm? If anything girl you did me a favor.": Not a soul fragment drain, but it still ties to Irelia's rework (reminder this quote is towards Irelia). In the lore of the Irelia rework, as I was told, Irelia was in a fight, when she firsthand used her will over the floating blades and decimated an on coming Noxian army, including severing Swain's hand, in which he gained a new one since he now wields a demon as a weapon..... or limb, who knows?

With that out of the way, some other quotes intrigued me if this gives clues on future champions or reworks that possibly might make an appearance in future releases which I will refer below.

  1. "What is this about... siblings?": This was confusing me at first, but then I realized this was directed specifically towards Aurelion Sol. Isit possible we are getting another Dragon (moon, sun, black hole dragon) that is brotherhood to Aurelion Sol? Or possibly another cosmic animal or beast relative to his power and bloodline.
  2. "My my does your grand niece know what 'C' has been up to?": This one is interesting, it sort of sounds like another Piltover champ that seems to be Camille's grand niece, possibly searching for her aunt "C." Of course we may expect somewhat of the same tech Camille had as well.
  3. "They squabble as the winds howl and wards fade.": This one can be two things. One, it may be referencing Nunu's rework, because he is a yeti rider and maybe yeti's make howling sounds, and it seems he can create a blizzard because of his ult. Or a new champ that create massive blizzards, maybe strong enough to destroy wards, which would be a cool jg champ that can rip apart wards with just a blizzard.
  4. "Her archrival a tuskvore? how undignified.": This might reference either a sejuani rework, or a new champion that wields either something of a boar or an elephant/mammoth?
  5. "He asked her to do what she could not. To kill me.": Possibly a new champ in the Noxian faction that gave Katarina the assignment to kill Swain, or something of that description.
  6. "Do they know who killed your father? or do they still blame me?": I know this is an interaction directly and not draining soul fragments. However, this could possibly refer to a new champ (tied to Katarina's lore yet again) who killed Katarina's father. Maybe a rework of an already existing champ in Noxus who is obsessed with malevolence. Or even yet more exciting, a new champion from the Black Rose.

I was wondering if these interactions were hints, or just another hoax. I know these might not be official but I was just seeing links that are shown now and predicting future links, all thanks to this bird bro.

Just for a follow up quote, some of these may be champs already existing, I might not be too familiar with the lore of some of these champs like katarina or sejuani.

The howling winds and the fading wards is in reference to Lissandra tearing down the seal on the Howling Abyss to release the Watchers.

While it is true that Swain announced some upcoming stuff, some of his quotes are probably just lore references.

For example his quote towards Camille. Her grand niece is already part of the lore, she is the one that Camille put officially in power of the Ferros clan, while Camille is actually the one in control. I highly doubt that her grand niece will become a champion in the game, since in the lore she is nothing more than an official face for Camilles clan.

  1. "What is this about... siblings?": This was confusing me at first, but then I realized this was directed specifically towards Aurelion Sol.

This might be Bard and Soraka , since both of them are celestials, just like Aurelion.

Well-

I don't know if Soraka is still a celestial. She might be from Targon now.

  1. "My my does your grand niece know what 'C' has been up to?": This one is interesting, it sort of sounds like another Piltover champ that seems to be Camille's grand niece, possibly searching for her aunt "C." Of course we may expect somewhat of the same tech Camille had as well.

Some people are saying Caitlyn is Camille's grandniece, since Caitlyn is currently chasing after "C".

  1. "They squabble as the winds howl and wards fade.": This one can be two things. One, it may be referencing Nunu's rework, because he is a yeti rider and maybe yeti's make howling sounds, and it seems he can create a blizzard because of his ult.

He is referring to the Watchers that are currently imprisoned below the Howling Abyss. The wards holding them down there are fading.

  1. "Her archrival a tuskvore? how undignified.": This might reference either a sejuani rework, or a new champion that wields either something of a boar or an elephant/mammoth?

This is a reference to Quinn's lore. Read it.

  1. "He asked her to do what she could not. To kill me.": Possibly a new champ in the Noxian faction that gave Katarina the assignment to kill Swain, or something of that description.

I'm pretty sure Swain is referring to Katarina's father. He was the one whom gave Katarina her targets to kill in the past,

  1. "Do they know who killed your father? or do they still blame me?": I know this is an interaction directly and not draining soul fragments. However, this could possibly refer to a new champ (tied to Katarina's lore yet again) who killed Katarina's father. Maybe a rework of an already existing champ in Noxus who is obsessed with malevolence. Or even yet more exciting, a new champion from the Black Rose.

This is probably the only one that could hint at a new champion.

However, due to Noxus' history of backstabbing and assassination, I'd assume it was someone from The Black Rose that got rid of him, just like how Swain got rid of Boram Darkwill. Maybe Leblanc
