This won't end well...

Look I'm totally on Sylas's side here and definitely see his point. But I kinda see this as copy of fall of Shurima.

Azir, upon his ascension was going to release the slaves and input reform in the Empire until Xerath went and f-ed it up, then of course there's Icathia, the Darkin, the Void... Jarvan IV protects Shyvana's identity and wants to change Demacia and be a worthy king. Honestly , if they just sat down and talked.. yes, yes I know don't look at me like that. <.<

But on a side note, he doesn't really have to do that much. It appears one of the reasons why Demacia is so fertile and rich is because they've been stealing- excuse me- absorbing magic from all over. And because I'm sure all citizens and warriors carry the material whenever they travel , they are bringing it inside the kingdom whenever they return.

That and there's a group that knowingly uses magic for Demaica , while letting the poor mages be killed or exiled, and one of the future king's closet allies is a freakin Dragon , and two daughters from noble families ( Lux and Sona- who is adopted from Ionia no less ) are a couple of the most powerful mages in existence.

And let's not forget the giant symbol of their glory can come to life and has been watching them... Honestly , Sylas doesn't have to kill or destroy anything, the Demacians are a ticking time bomb.

But even his story mentions , he is Demacia, he was doomed from the start , so I'm already mourning him.
