We all have high hopes for Swain and it seems we will be not dissapointed. A Noxus Icon was added this PBE Cyclus, so we all know what it means.

the question is who will get a lore update and who will be left out?Most big lore updates leave out a few champs.

Katarina and Darius seem kind of obvious choices for a lore update since they are among the most iconic noxus champs in the lore and judging by Swains VO,I'd say there is also a good chance that Leblanc and maybe even Draven will get lore updates as well.

Sion & Vladimir also seem like good candidates for an update(sion needs only a bio update anyway) as we just recently got more info about blood magic.Not to mention that Sion is closely related to Darkwill,while Vlad is connected to the black rose. I'm not really sure about Talon though,he kinda seems unimportant for now,but we don't know if riot has anything planned for him.

Cassiopeia & Riven ,might be left out,as they are closely linked to another nation(that was the reason why they left out Xin Zhao and Sona in the demacia update).Though Cassio doesn't need much of an update anyway.

Annie is kind of a wild card for now,as her new short lore links her to Noxus,so this event could be used to cement her as a noxian champion,but at the same time she isn't really core to Noxus.

Kled will most likely get nothing since he already has a full bio & short lore.

My opinion to this topic.

Swain Darius Draven Leblanc For sure. Swain, 'cause it is his update and Katarina always has been the poster girl from Noxus. Darius is also a beloved lore chracter (see Comic and Animation Workshop) and would make sense to include his brother as well. LeBlanc is as important as Swain and he has so many interaction with her, she will get her update lore atleast.

Vladimir Sion Also probably will receive something, even if they won't be the main focus.

Talon The Du Couteau's always have been important, so I think they will get something. But on the other hand, Katarina always stole their spotlight. (Also, Cassiopeia only needs to get her Bio, she already has a Color Text on the Universe)

Annie Wild Card for sure, but on the other hand she just got two icons on the PBE. Either she gets some lore love as well or she will receive some physical merch (see Plush Rengar and Radiant Wukung Icon from the Riot Games Merch Shop)

Riven I agree, I wouldn't be surprised if she won't get anything.

The actually question is that kind of short story we will get. Since Piltover we always got a short story for every region (and vastayan) update. My thoughts would be - either something from the sight of an NPC (see Tamara from Progress Day), a political overthrow (either Swain vs Katarina, or Swain vs and/or with LeBlanc), some focus on the Du Couteau's (like For Demacia with Garen and Lux) or the Blood Brothers (Darius is a lore favorite, without any doubts) or Annie will get something.

Ofc I could be wrong, but right now these are my guesses.
