After all, from which place Fiddlesticks has came? (also, he needs some updates)

According to the lore, the mage who summoned , has came from Zaun, which made me think that Fiddlesticks is a Zaunite champion. However, this would not make any sense. Fiddlesticks is unlike any common Zaun champion. He has nothing to do with technology or science, he looks like a magic being; a demon, that has came from darkness, just like the beings from Shadow Isles.

Speaking of which, it would make sense if Fiddlesticks was considered a Shadow Isles champion. He has everything that other Shadow Isles champions have, his kit, his theme, his model... Everything remembers fear, darkness, demons, evil, specters... Everything that you can find on Shadow Isles, but nothing that you can find on Zaun.

Fiddlesticks' lore should be updated accordingly, especially since it currently mentions the League itself, something that Riot said that it is no longer canon.

I read Fiddlesticks' old lore, and on my opinion it makes much more sense than his current lore. A witch that lives on a florest and creates a scarecrow demon. Yes, this is somewhat cliché, but it fits Fiddlesticks' theme a lot more.

Also, he needs a new VO. His current VO is terrible, it contains only very few quotes. The champion that is coming, Tahm Kench, has more attacking quotes on his VO than Fiddlesticks' all quotes thogether.

I think fiddle could fit into the voodoo lands.

I know the voodoo lands are currently just a foot note in Annies lore,but I'd really like it if they were explored a bit more and I think Fiddlesticks would fit perfectly into a nation that is full of dark mages.

Fiddlesticks, by IoW status lore, was summoned from some other existence, as Istvaan, the Zaun Summoner who brought him, performed an extra-planar summoning. This means that, by all intents and purposes, Fiddlesticks has no real alliances, and thus is considered independent.

When retconned, I wouldn't be surprised if they shoved him onto the Shadow Isles, especially considering we have zero idea where he's from. I honestly feel like they could flesh him out more and still keep him as an independent, considering how, in the original lore, Fiddlesticks never actually goes out actively killing people, but instead stays put in the room he was summoned in.

Of all the champions affected by the retcon, Fiddlesticks arguably has it the worst of all. He literally has nothing right now-no that's not true, this is what he has:

He's a creepy scarecrow with ironic powers, since he's supposed to scare away crows.
He's a harbinger of something doom related.

That's about it. Even if we don't get an understanding of what he is or where he comes from, something to showcase his place in Runeterra and how people think of him is sorely needed.

He's an extraplanar being, meaning he's from a completely different plane of existence as the other Runeterran champions. The spirit that possesses the scarecrow is even more alien than the Void champions.

He definitely needs a new VO to reflect this

He could easily be reworked into being created by the Grey Order that Annie comes from. After all she can summon the spirit of a bear into her toy. It seems plausible that another member could have bound Fiddlesticks into a scarecrow.
