Taliyah - The Bird and the Branch Speculation/group theory

PhantomGG·4/29/2016, 8:02:29 AM·1 votes·1,765 views

So let's talk speculations and theories

The TLDR

-Noxian soldier gets ship wrecked? -Noxian soldier has weird ass psychic powers -Noxian soldier accidently knocks a mountain onto yasuo LITERALLY -Yasuo decides to teach her some tricks Time skip -Some bounty hunters find yasuo and try to turn him in -After fight Taliyah discusses she wants to go back to Shurima her home country -Yasuo argues -Yasuos sees he will not win arguement and gives her the safest directions to go back

Discoveries -Azir is not all good and abit of a tyrant -Azir forcing people under his government and getting rid of the current one -Yasuo for some reason decided to stay on Ioania despite having a bounty on his head -The current time line we can safely assume is at least a few years after the time frame yasuo had his bounty placed on him through the wrinkles we see on him in the painting -Noxus hires people outside their army

My Questions

-How long did Yasuo actually teach Taliyah? -Does Yasuo believe the murderer to still be in Ioania? -Is Azir really a bad guy? For Nasus did nothing but preach how awesome Azir is, and how he will be this savior for Shurima. -What exactly was Taliyahs power?

Feel free to talk about your own speculations and theories

I mean wouldn't you think the same about Azir if you were just some nomadic tribesman? SUDDENLY an entire lost city appears out of the sand. Some bird-headed guy named Azir claims to be Emperor and also a God. Ancient Shurimans had a slave culture (Azir actually freed the slaves minutes before Xerath's ascension, unfortunately these ancient slaves died). Not to mention that weird monstrosities from the void (Rek'Sai) eat caravans that dare travel across the sands.

I think you got some points wrong: Talilyah was originally a shuriman with a strong talent for earth magic and she joined the noxian army to learn to control it properly.(so she wasn't a noxian when she discovered her powers) When she didn't want to use her powers to kill civilians she was thrown into the water by the noxian captain(so no shipwreck).

And well we can't be sure of how accurate those descriptions about azir really are. They might end up being just rumors,or Azir is desperate and goes to extremes for the greater good.

Also Talilyah has the power to manipulate earth&rock. https://lolstatic-a.akamaihd.net/frontpage/apps/prod/taliyah-short-story/en_GB/cc5848c77e8f05efc6db96c4beec0e32fbe45405/assets/img/noverla-graphic-footer.jpg On this picture you can pretty much see her riding on a wave of rock pillars(I guess she used the same kind of rock pillar to get yasuo out of the snow)

Had the same question about Azir, because I know Taliyah is mistaken. I really hope Riot addresses this somehow, but I don't have much faith
