Hero of Demacia?

Demacia is now split between the mages and the loyalists, and only one person can keep Demacia whole: the true wielder of the Hammer of Orlon, the Slayer of many beasts and bandits, the Hero of Demacia.

[poppy-wink]

If/an eternity from now/when Riot expands more following the events of the Lux comic/Aftermath short story, Poppy will show up and end the confrontation once and for all. But the question that comes to mind more often than if they will advance her story is... what purpose will she serve after she has already accepted that she IS the Hero of Demacia and has already done the duty that which is bestowed up her? Easy answer is she is to become the next Seneschal, likely to become XinZhao Xin's student until she fully replaces him when he retires. He may even teach her a thing or two about her hammer techniques, considering he mastered Drakebane, another weapon crafted by Orlon, to teach JarvanIV Jarvan IV how to use it. This would likely imply a rework, since while she isn't high priority, she's... clunky.

Of course, this also asks what will come of Sylas Sylas (afaik they won't kill a champion), and how to unify Demacia without killing him. Granted, he's basically escaped into self-exile, so maybe this isn't where she pops up and Sylas simply goes on his own and creates his own Demacia-hating mage nation. Who knows.

they have discussed killing off champions, while a while from now, sylas very well could truly die

Idk I expect it to be "fixed" when Kayle returns to demacia and incinerates most of the mage seekers, and any others responsible for upholding the unjust laws enforced. If that happens I expect the only thing that could save Garen and Jarvan would be Morganna.

I feel Poppy isn't likely to have a major part in a very politically centered story. I am curious what Poppy would do if she were faced with mage seekers pursuing a magically gifted citizen of Demacia.

As much as I love Poppy, she ain't gonna do jack squat unless Riot just wants to do a 360 on all the known facts

-She's a magical creature, so if they figured out shes a Yordle somehow she would be in big trouble -She can't mentally accept that she is the hero that is supposed to wield the hammer -I don't think Poppy is smart enough to comprehend political unrest let alone how to fix it, she'd probably just whomp Sylas and then Demacia would just remain a place where magic and magical beings aren't allowed and are hated.
