Didn't wholly understand the ending to Twilight of the Gods

DR34DN0UGHT··8 votes·7,352 views

Pretty sure I'm just stupid, but I didn't really get what had happened at the end of Twilight of the Gods.

The story that I get up until the end is basically Ta'anari wiping out the rest of his Ascended/Darkin brethren with the Myisha (the Aspect of Twilight) help, after deciding that they wouldn't be able to be their old selves again and that no peace could exist while they lived. He does this with the Chalicar, using lunar magic that undoes the Ascension brought by sun magic and kills nearly everyone around him. At the end he is returned to his old human state, and then Myisha tells him that most of his kind deserved to and is going to die.

She then stabs him with the Chalicar and rips out his heart. She says that the Chalicar's power "knows [his] kind now," and that she "[gives] that fire to mortals." She then hands off the heart and weapon to be taken to a weaponsmith to find another way to deal with the Darkin.

The final part is what I didn't completely understand. Was there something about Ta'anari's Ascended-turned-human heart that is useful to Myisha in the battle against the Darkin? What did she mean by the Chalicar knowing his kind, and the fire (which I assume is the means to trap Darkin) she is giving to mortals?

I just didn't get it.

It’s now super effective against Darkin types

Sivir is now the chosen one to lead Shurima against the Darkin and the Void.

They probably used the heart to create the spell that binds the Darkin to their weapons.

not too sure either to be honest. like it seemed that you would need an ascended to perform the moon spell chalicar thing, since if not i dont see a reason why they simply wouldnt use that against the other ascended. they are made from the same celestial magic that targon draws its power from so maybe the moonspell was by default designed to sacrifice his own celestial power in order to kill the rest.

also somewhere its said that the celestial energy lies in the heart iirc

so my guess, targon didnt wanna attack the ascended directly since they were pretty powerful and targon prob didnt want all of them to unite against them. like Ta'anari said they could have stormed the celestial gates.

so they convinced Ta'anari to sacrifice himself in order to kill 8 ascended and targon would only have to kill the few remaining.

now with taanaris heart and the chalicar that has absorbed part of the celestial energy they could craft the tools needed to seal the rest of the darkin in their weapons.

but your guess is as good as mine, i think its left open on purpose ^^

Myisha is the one who invented the spell to trap the darkins into weapons,so thats what she likely meant with "fire".

Myisha is Zoe (Her features were youthful, but her eyes, one rich blue, the other twilight’s purple, held wisdom beyond her years. She wore thin silks, colorful and entirely unsuited to the desert, tied at the waist with a thin rope, from which hung a single golden key. A vivid pink scarf coiled around her neck, and she twisted its tasseled ends through her fingertips.")

Ta'anari is just a tool she uses to destroy a group of darkins (that's why "Myisha’s elixirs wear off. " ; "Myisha had warned that using the magic she had taught him would irrevocably change even an Ascended,") Zoe planned this all along. Ta'anar is just another suicide bomber

The fire is Diana's moon fall kinda thing (the origin of her organization? ) “What the sun made, the moon will unmake!”  If you try to read the univer in other language, you'll know the fire translated into "moon fall" one of Diana's ability. Ex. https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/zh_TW/story/twilight-of-the-gods/ ; "月殞", "moon fall"

Zoe and Myisha are different people. Aspect of Twilight's current host is Zoe, however Myisha was her old host.

That is most likely BUT lets remember that the thing they are a host of is CHANGE. The hosts might change whole personality appearance because their purpose is change.

No a rioter confirmed they are different people

No rioter confirmed this. One, Scathelocke, speculated but doesnt know for sure.

If it was zoe, then explain how she could be there when she has been gone from runeterra for millennia plural, DIRECTLY after fusing with the aspect of twilight IN HER OWN LORE.

"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a nonlinear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff."

Because we dont know how long Zoe has actually been back? Or how old she is. Or literally anything of an actual direct timeline.

Where did a Rioter confirm that ¿

Terozu2 votes

What Kuro said is untrue.

Terozu1 votes

Possibly. It might've been Zoe we dont actually know.

Knowledge, I'm guessing.

I think it's a reference to Prometheus giving fire to mortals so they can evolve and become powerful in their own right, which makes the gods feel threatened.

The binding spell on the Darkin involves binding their hearts to their weapons, she used the chalicar and his heart to cast the spell.
