Darken Theory (Besides Varus, Jax, etc.)

Arakadia··2 votes·817 views

So their was a theory that the Darken are living weapons or are corrupted/created by living weapons. Varus was one idea, which I think was the only viable candidate. But! Couldn't Sona have such a "living" weapon. Etwahl I think it is spelled. So Etwahl killed Sona's mother, something violent but not something Aatrox would do, aatrox likes battle more than murder. The weapon can slice things from a distance and is magic. In her lore it kept reappering when the orphanage tried to sell it, it floats, can slice things from distance, can cast the spells that are in game, and seem to actually control people's emotions. But so far this is just another magic weapon like Ezreal's amulet. The difference is in Sona's Judgment the weapon has emotions, takes certain actions such as trying to play itself, resisting Sona, stiffening, etc. Its even like a drug. "She felt no fear so long as the etwahl was in her grasp. Her arms curled lovingly around the instrument, her fingers expertly trailing along the hammered brass and taut strings. Pressing it against her cheek, she closed her eyes and waited. It was at times like this that she could feel the instrument alive in her arms, taking slow and measured breaths as it guarded its master." Notice she can tell its alive and loves the Etwahl even after it killed her mother. May it also be that when Sona acquired the Etwahl it took her voice away? Maybe she was born to be a singer, yet the Etwahl took the gift away and now can play beautifull music?

All speculation and much of it is very stretched. Just brainstorming. I'd love to hear some other ideas and theories.

I'd love it if the sword was Aatrox and it was controlling a random demon.

Yeah that'd be pretty cool. Not only unique, it would have some cool lore and be different from other champions.

I really doubt that Sonas Etwahl really killed her mother. I think it is more that the judgement was a represenatation of Sonas fear that it might do that.

Because after all most judgements twisted the memories of the champions to some extent and Sona seems much to happy to use her etwahl.

The judgment digs into the memories of events that actually happened to the Champions, but then alters it with the whole "Why do you want to join the League?" deal.

Which is unfortunate, because as of right now Sona's current lore no longer applies because the League no longer exists in today's lore. We have to wait and find out what actually happens, once her lore is updated to better fit in the current world.

But it does twist certain events,such as Leona not being saved by the sun during her judgement. Then there are some that seem to be not related to any specific memory like Irelia fighting with her brother against her father.

It is entirely possible that Sonas etwahl did act on its own sometime and that sona was afraid it could attack her mom,but that it never really did aynthing to her and the judgement merely changed that part.

We don't know if this memory was twisted. We do know that the instrument is semi alive though. And magicle. Even if it was twisted, the events aren't made up, just altered. Many champions are also showed their fears such as Nautillus's judgment. It is possible it was altered to where her mother died, but I'll didn't, although for the sake of the theory and my belief I'd say it did kill her. Nice to see other people not just flat out say "your wrong, im right" and agree just enough to be polite. :D

The theory explains why she still loves Etwahl. We don't know if this memory was twisted. We do know that the instrument is semi alive though. And magicle.
