Irelia likely the next potential target for more Darkin lore

"Master Lito was a swordsman whose teachings were sought by ruling classes from nearly every city-state. His art was a highly-guarded secret, but it was said that swords would breathe in his grasp. He withered unexpectedly from a mysterious disease which baffled the brightest of Runeterran physicians. When he died, he left behind Zelos and Irelia, his son and daughter, and a truly unique weapon...At the Great Stand of the Placidium, Ionians prepared for surrender, but were inspired to maintain their resistance when the young Irelia lifted her father's enormous blade and pledged to hold until her brother returned."

I wouldn't be surprised if Irelia takes up a Darkin weapon as well, her lore being what it is at the moment. Kayn's release, Varus' new lore, Irelia and Aatrox slated as the upcoming reworks, just throw in a new Darkin champ somewhere in there and we have five for a Darkin event.

While we don't know where Aatrox is from, both Kayn and Varus are from Ionia as well, and since we don't know much about Zelos he's pretty fair game for new champ material if he doesn't get retconned.

Thoughts?

I think in Irelia's case she might have already conquered the darkin, at least her father might've.

I think it you could make it so that his father died killing a Darkin and Irelia now uses that weapon. However I don't think it would make sense for her to have a live darkin by her side

that sounds real spicy. i like it, not sure if it can be properly implemented and keep her designspace entirely separate from rhaast or aatrox though, though with aatrox rework im not sure if that will be the same
