Tahm Kench And The Gambler Theory!

LaukD0wn·Jul 1, 2015·2 votes·5,775 views

Ok so this is my first time making a theory, and I plan on making more theories. If you think i did a good job then I'll make more! :) So this First one is about how Tahm Kench, , ,and are all related. So without further a due here is the "Tahm Kench and The Gambler Theory". So was born in Bilgewater and had a nice early life. He had a love for cards and dice related games. At an early age met (or who i call Garvz). They had a match of a normal gamble. The were in an intense game, and it was super close. But won in the end but barely. respected his abilities with chance and they became good friends. One day, a few years later, was challenged by a Zaunite scientist to a match. The scientist's victory request was to take into his jails and use him as a test subject for his future experiments. The scientist offered alot of gold. The young and greedy gambler agreed to the challange. :"ARE YOU CRAZY?!?" :"Don't worry this should be easy, I'm the best gambler in all of Bilgewater." :"Ok I trust you." After 2 long hours the scientist cheats and looses horibly. 2 big burly men grab and drag him away. looks down in defeat and sadness. The scientist chuckles and says,"Never underestimate your enemy or you'll lose everything."As is getting dragged away he glares at yelling and cursing at him. fearfully looks at him getting dragged away and forced into a cagelike box. In shame and failure runs away. He here a song with a strong and low southern accent and meets Tam Kench, The River King. Tahm,"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJy2ehQaW_U "( watch that video cause that is too much to write out and tecnically copywrite...right?) After Tahm had eaten the bride, her soul was sent to the Shadow Isles. Then when saw her soul he tried to reencarnate her and make her part of his ghoul army. But she was different from the rest of the ghouls. Her passion to get revenge apon she was a hybrid of a human and faded soul. About 1 day after the incident went mentally insane. Within a month's time he lost his best friend ( ) and his soon-to-be-wife( ) .So he then decided to go to the infamous Dr.Xavier Rath and took a chance again to see if he would die or get a magical power. Dr.Rath,"Are you sure you are ready to do this? You could die if this should fails..." chuckles," I'll be happy either way...I gained and lost everything dear to me. Hah! What a Twist Of Fate." After the experiment emerged from an explosion, surging with power. With a grin He teleported miles away. With a maniacal laugh, red glow in his eyes, and a fiendish grin he says once more..."HAH! What a Twist Of Fate!" A year later breaks out of his imprisonment and looks up at the sky squinting and smiles,"I'm coming for you my friend, and we'll catch up...you, me, and this here shotgun!"

For my first theory I think i did decent but I feel I could have done better...If you guys liked this theory give me feedback. If you don't think I did good then comment what info I might have left out or forgot to mention. Note these are all based on the lores of the champions from the official League of Legends website. If i get about 25 or so "yes" votes I'll make a my second theory. (Spoiler It's about , , and )

Sorry it was already confirmed that the gambler was not TF.

Also even if the gambler was tf,there'd be a lot of problems with your theory: it would beg the question to which kingdom the gambler was brought,I mean he was going to marry the princess of it. However there are only 2-3 known kingdoms,Demacia(and it never said anything about JarvanIV having a sister),the Freljord(not sure if this was retconned or not,but Ashe and tryndamere are seen as the king&queen of the freljord,even if Sejuani disagrees) and the shadow isles(these wouldn't work unless TF is some ancient being)

It also wouldn't really add up with Tf getting his powers. If he betrayed Graves for power,then why would he make the deal with tahm kench before he even gets the power that was promised to him?It honestly sounds a bit out of character.

Also this can't have happened in the span of a few months,as the tahm kench video says that years passed until Tahm came back to ruin the life of the gambler.

Well I'm sure it doesnt say how old the shadow isles are. It's only recently being discovered

GreenLoreJul 1, 20152 votes

Shadow isles would have to be at least over half a century old,because the oldest records of the harrowing are 49 years old,but also mention past harrowings. Then there is the fact that Boram darkwill was searching for relics of the Shadow isles after Sion died,meaning the shadow isles were already a thing back when Jarvan I died,the grandgrand-father of our Jarvan.

The fact that the shadow isles were more like a rumor for a long time and that no one knows what they were originally called means they are most likely even older than that though,otherwise the different nations would have noticed that a nation suddenly stopped its contact with outsiders and turned into a land of death.But now no one even remembers the original name of the shadow isles.

Um he took a Gamble.

I would addmit I didnt put too much thought into this. I only thought it up just this night to be honest...

One more thing to this...there various areas across Valoran that champions have not yet come from yet. It could be possible that there is a small kingdom in 1 of those areas. I wanted to say Icathia but it wouldn't make sense to me.

GreenLoreJul 2, 20151 votes

I think if there was another nation that could even be considered a kingdom,then we would have heard of it by now.

But well they are reworking the map,so who knows.

LaukD0wnJul 3, 20151 votes

But riot could be holding info on it for future champs or map releases...

GreenLoreJul 3, 20151 votes

In the end,it doesn't matter. it was confirmed that the gambler was indeed NOT twisted fate,so we have no information when that story took place.

Since Tahm kench visited every place in the world it is even possible that said kingdom wasn't even part of valoran,but a different continent.

LaukD0wnJul 3, 20151 votes

Yep, lol and we find out that the Void was actually on another continent XD

James StoneJul 1, 20151 votes

Riot already said the Gambler's not TF. Just leave that bad fic to die like it should. Not everyone needs to be related, and not every character needs or should be shoehorned in a place they clearly don't belong.

LaukD0wnJul 1, 20151 votes

He man theory making is fun anyways. I enjoy the Lore in lol alot

Noctius28Jul 1, 20151 votes

I don't believe he met, fell in love and was about to marry Eve in just a month, the time between Tahm taking him and the weeding should be at least a year

LaukD0wnJul 1, 20151 votes

True true

ShuffledPancakeJul 1, 20151 votes

Btw plz spell check saw a bunch of Apons, looses and horiblys

LaukD0wnJul 1, 20151 votes

Ik im not the best at speed typing and spelling XD

FowusJul 1, 20151 votes

I really like this but how can the scientist cheat and lose horribly and then TF looks down in defeat?

LaukD0wnJul 2, 20151 votes

Oh and I forgot to mention, I chose not to research everything and look at specific things (like how rito said TF isnt the gambler). I created this as an experiment to see how everyone woul react to this post. Next time I make a theory I will look at everything that people may have a question about or something that didnt make sense,etc, etc. For my next theory I feel like doing something about Shadow Isles, Shurima, or about Aatrox's ability to corrupt a person's mind.
