Dark Kin - Universe of League of Legends

The Flame Haired Queen , she used old magic to enslave Darkins https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/265575789892861952/385818094251016204/image.png

A Female darkin, the "sister of Varus" https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/265575789892861952/385818043546075136/image.png We are currently lacking a "support Darkin" , and blood magic originates from Darkins I'm sure something awesome can happen (drain suppport, etc)

Sometimes the lore depicts side-character That aren't quite combative or powerful enough to join the League

But this time they are so powerful, they could be allowed to join the League without a doubt

The flame-haired queen fits Kayle like a glove. The female darkin thou no idea. D DAY HYPE Aatrox Kayn Varus

NecrozardNov 30, 20171 votes

it does sounds like Kayle, but i'd rather have a new champion xp

Nintendo 3DSNov 30, 20173 votes

Well why not though. We know Kayle is due a VGU soon or at least is on the list. Maybe it could be a great occasion to expand her story more and connect it with other champions.

NecrozardNov 30, 20175 votes

Kayle is an angel

But in lore this character is : "The flame-haired queen" that uses a bow

I see it as very different [slayer-jinx-wink]

i'm also very hyped for Kayle's VGU

Female darkin could be Morgana . Which would be awesome with Kayle.

Morgana doesn't wield a weapon though.

SnakeEye007Dec 1, 20171 votes

her wings, and we need a darken mage

XIII VanitasNov 30, 20171 votes

No, she doesn't. Kayle doesn't even have red hair and, if she was a Darkin, she would have no reason to side with humans in order to fight against them. Also, I'm pretty sure that Riot is trying to come up with a concept for a female support Darkin, since out of 5 of them, the three known cover one role each: Aatrox top, Rhaast jungle and Varus adc.

The flamed haired woman. This begs the question, where was she from who was she? I think she may be a Solari. Flame haired, and decked in golden armor, her magic resembling that of the Ascended, who were transformed via the Sun disk. To add onto that the Darkin seems to be an Alien race, Targon is the only faction known to have involvement with extraterrestrial happenings. She may very well be the Solari we have been hypothesizing to have had a hand i creating Shurima.

Chance of it being Setaka also. It's a cool nod that they made the mother flame-haired too.

NecrozardNov 30, 20172 votes

we know almost nothing of Setaka

so it's a fair guess !

DreanexNov 30, 20171 votes

her magic resembling that of the Ascended, who were transformed via the Sun disk.

According to the short story, Shurima didn't exist in the Darkin wars.

"Days earlier, a crook-backed creature with a withered arm and birdlike features had told him this was Shurima, but that couldn’t be true. The Shurima Varus remembered had been a desolate wasteland."

Her being from the Solari makes much more sense, the flame hair might be a figurative description of red hair, which Leona has, and being the aspect of the sun, she's immortal and has the powers to defy the Darkin. Calling her Queen can also be figurative, since Varus doesn't really know about Targon and the aspects, he guessed that the woman with red hair who have been commanding everyone and is revered by everyone, could be in fact their queen Remember that the "Queen" wielded the bow AFTER defeating varus, and then hid it away post-victory, Leona using a shield and sword as her main weapons DOESN'T have to mean she doesn't know how to use a bow, and since Varus was not a normal bow, rather a living weapon, I'd say using that would render the wielder's aim less important.

SnakeEye007Dec 1, 20171 votes

The queen never tried to destroy various but instead... in a way, tried to keep him safe in my opinion AND YES IN MYYYYY OPINION.. i really want Varus' sister to be "The Imposter" she survived this long without getting caught because of her ability to disguise herself among a crowd, she could have easily posed as the queen, stolen Varus, and kept him safe there until he recovered

ZyraniumNov 30, 20174 votes

Flame haired woman ? You mean ... Evelynn ??

IxtaliKingNov 30, 20173 votes

I wonder if the flame haired woman is the thing from the Shadow Isles page...

Edit: This.

Nintendo 3DSNov 30, 20172 votes

By reading about the flame queen i honestly thought it was a Solari ! Maybe the Aspect of the Sun before Leona.

Around999PeopleNov 30, 20172 votes

OOOO, Kayle, flame haired queen, Morgana as a darkin. The kayle idea I saw in this post by someone else, and I think Morg fits the female, sister darkin, and kayle's sister too showing why they were sealed and not destroyed.

NecrozardNov 30, 20171 votes

" Kayle, flame haired queen, Morgana as a darkin "

I didnt expect that xD

Kayle and Morgana are sisters, bound by blood (new lore) So if Morgana is a Darkin, Kayle is a Darkin

And there is no way a Darkin would help humans to kill Darkins

Still very original idea xp

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOONov 30, 20173 votes

The new lore for Kayle and Morganna is strictly placeholder. They're gonna decide on their narrative direction when VGU time rolls around.

NecrozardNov 30, 20171 votes

It is, but the core elements are that :

Kayle and Morgana will remain connected by Blood

(most likely as sisters or as part of the same race)

Chembaron YamadaNov 30, 20173 votes

"Connected by blood" Well, imagine the following: Kayle was the original host of Morgana (a Darkin), but she was able to seperate herself from her and imprison her in a weapon.

Then she used that knowledge to do the same to the other Darkin. They would kinda be connected by blood, in the end they shared the same body with each other.

GrReaper96Nov 30, 20172 votes

The comic says there are 5 Darkins "When i unite the 5"

NecrozardNov 30, 20171 votes

Correct , so with this female Darkin

There is only one more unknown Darkin

NaalithNov 30, 20172 votes

The female darkin will almost certainly be added to the game at some point. There are 5 darkin and we have 3 of them, we just need a support and a mid laner. I'm super hyped for both, the current darkin are very warlike physically which is dope but a magic based darkin sounds so damn cool.

HalcyonDwellerNov 30, 20172 votes

Agreed, they could be made into battle-mages of some kind.

NecrozardNov 30, 20171 votes

I dont think that Darkins really like fighting with magic (apart blood-magic)

But that's still a possibility

HalcyonDwellerNov 30, 20171 votes

That's fair, I'm just generally excited about it though.

Baron of BreadNov 30, 20172 votes

The description of the site Varus visited in that lore reminds me heavily of the place Xerath was trapped. Either they make most of their magic prisons the same, or Xerath and the Sister Darkin were in the same place. Cassiopeia got corrupted something fierce by the snake statue when she freed Xerath and Renekton, there could be more to it than just a curse.

As for the flame haired queen, wasn't it implied that she died about the time Varus is imprisoned? Something about "Her last act was to imprison the bow deep within a lightless cell sunk deep beneath a mountain temple overlooking the village of Pallas."

Stars ShaperNov 30, 20172 votes

I'm wondering if the queen was a Targonian, her golden armor seems a reference to Leona .

NecrozardNov 30, 20171 votes

Shurima or Targon or something else, i have no idea :v !

Stars ShaperNov 30, 20171 votes

It seems a mixture of the 3... The magic used to seal him (and probably all the Darkin) is ancient and similar to the ones used in Shurima (who had a small grasp of cosmic magic), the place he was sealed was Ionia and the queen looked like a Targonian.

Call me confused.

SSmotzerNov 30, 20172 votes

There is another queenly champion in golden armor with a magical weapon. Kayle

Stars ShaperDec 1, 20172 votes

This just adds to the confusion X_X

Whiteeye AvelynDec 1, 20171 votes

The golden armored queen made me think of Kayle leona wouldn't have existed for that long as she is now.

Stars ShaperDec 1, 20172 votes

I was talking about a previous aspect of the sun.

javiermetal66Nov 30, 20172 votes

Theory time. What if Varus sister is . Since the rework on Shurima's lore we know that Brand was imprisoned in that ancient tomb before Xerath and Renekton . Maybe the Fire Darkin is a female but she looks and talks like a male because she is possessing a male marauder's body, Kegan Rodhe. And that tomb could only be opened with a special key: The Chalikar, Sivir 's weapon who once belonged to an ascended warrior queen from Shurima, Setaka. Why would she need a magic tomb with a lock for a simple fire beast?

Besides, when Aatrox was released, it was said that 3 Darkin were already revealed to the world, but that was before Kayn was released, So those 3 can only be Aatrox, Varus and someone else (probably Brand).

Also, Brand the is only known champion, besides Aspects and known Darkin, that can actually possess (not corrupt)

But well, we still have 2 Darkin to find ,tho.

NecrozardDec 1, 20171 votes

"Varus sister is brand"

no xd

If Brand was a darkin, the other darkins (like Rhaast) would have interactions with him

BUT it's true that they share a lot of similarities

RockmanNov 30, 20172 votes

Actually Morgana is Varus' sister

SSmotzerNov 30, 20171 votes

Well, Morgana is half of his sister, Kayle is the other half.

They each hold pieces of the Darkin Scale. Kayle has the rod(sword) and a scale(Intervention), and Morgana has the chains(Soul Shackles) and a scale(Black Shield)

NecrozardDec 1, 20171 votes

Varus is a darkin

So if Morgana is her sister

Morgana is a darkin

But because Kayle and Morgana are sisters

Kayle is a darkin

It could happen, but i don't think so

JarPoop IVDec 1, 20172 votes

What if they released them both! I mean she is a Darkin, and darkins need hosts...

SnakeEye007Dec 1, 20172 votes

Honestly i just want Varus's sister's name to be Alua, and then possibly cough cough**_ the imposter/daughter of the forgotten_** She would have survived by posing as others and assassinating kings and queens secretly throughout history leaving no trace anyone had been there because no one knows her true self except for the very few Darkin that still live.

NecrozardDec 1, 20171 votes

"Alua"

Who :v ?

Lintu PuckDec 1, 20172 votes

sadly I doubt the "Flame-Haired Queen" will be a future champion for 2 reasons

She lived many ages ago. Unless she is an immortal of some kind than she is long dead.
Valmar's Mother. In the comic we meet Valmar's Mother, and she has bright red hair. In some stories a head of red hair can be mistaken for a head flaming hair. Another point would be that Mother is also the leader of the village that watches over the pit that Varus is in. Thus one could take it as Valmar and his mother being decedents of the same woman who had originally imprisoned Varus in his own bow.

NecrozardDec 1, 20171 votes

Even if i do think she really had flame-hair

It's coherent to think she's too dead to become a champion

(unless extreme scenaristic luck, like Azir or Sion)

elmoo88Dec 3, 20172 votes

Hi guys,

Just wanted to assert something else here, but I might be completely oblivious.

What about Sivirs Chalikar / crossblade being the Darkin? Now, I know Sivir has no quotes in-game to support this, and her backstory has nothing to do with the Darkin lore.

But the weapon, however, does not have a clear history. Sivir found it lying around in an old Shuriman tomb. Now, it does turn out to be some sort of key to open a certain chamber within the remnants of the ancient city. Cassiopeia knew this, she was seeking the ancient power allegedly held within and betrayed Sivir. This event brings us Xerath, Renekton and Azir. Also, after Azir saves Sivirs life, he begins restoring the ancient ruins to their former glory.

Now, we know Varus goes to Shurima looking for his sister. He doesn't recognize the lands to be Shurima probably because of Azirs handiwork. The story reads:

[Days earlier, a crook-backed creature with a withered arm and birdlike features had told him this was Shurima, but that couldn’t be true. The Shurima Varus remembered had been a desolate wasteland. “Was I imprisoned for so long?” he wondered.]

And also:

[The new river had exposed the sunken ruins of some ancient structure comprised of pillars and statues of animal-headed gods. Yes, this was the source of the magic he had sensed. Old magic. The kind the flame-haired queen used to enslave his kind.]

Since he feels this magic within Shurima, it is acceptable to think that the queen that's spoken of is in fact Setaka, the ancient ascended queen of Shurima and also the original owner of the Chalikar. It's not unthinkable that she sealed one of the Darkin within her own weapon. In Sivirs lore it is stated that it was a particularly hard artifact to find, even for an experienced tomb raider like herself. It could mean that the crossblade was purposefully well-hidden, to keep the Darkin locked away.

We know Sivir is a powerful warrior with the Chalikar. It's possible it's power is greater because a demon is residing within. Since there is no "struggle" between Sivir and the demon, this theory gets into difficulties, although one explanation could be that this Darkin is not as vengeful as her brethren and does not seek to overpower whoever is wielding the weapon. Or maybe the demon has been weakened or is in some sort of dormant state.

What do you guys think?

moe lester 18Dec 7, 20171 votes

Also we know Sivir has shuriman blood, maybe it counteracts the possession. We know that her "blood magic" is what revived azir in the first place and is the reason why soldiers can be made from sand, it would also explain why a bandit is strong enough to fight gods. It lastly also could be a darkin that has the same ideals as the owner(such as greed), it could also explain why Sivir didn't stay to become a shuriman queen. Another champion could be casseiopeia since she was the only other one involved in shuriman lore, she changed body shape, is a mage(darkin for each role) but no weapon has been shown(FANGS MAYBE) and she was like possessed by a strange snake creature(that acted more like a guard) than a darkin which is mentioned in this story.
