Questions about the Vastayan "Pact" with humans

La Bello·4/13/2017, 9:18:51 PM·16 votes·1,167 views

So are all humans aware of this pact? Is this some sort of common knowledge taught in Ionian schools? I mean if some people dont even know what a Vastayan looks like what the hell makes her think that they would know about the Vastayan history/culture and that messing with Vastayans or their lands is off-limits?

Is Xayah not aware that Zed and his shadow acolytes a bit more "evil" than the average human? I mean Shes had past interactions with them before and Rakan himself performs for them. Does she honestly believe that ALL humans living in Ionia are the same as shadow acolytes? can she not tell the difference between some merchant,dancer or farmer raising his family and the red-eyed shadow people lurking around ominous temples or the mercenaries that captured her friends?

Does she seriously think this is worth starting a civil war over?? I mean she IS aware that humans live nowhere near as long as Vastayans apparently so the "pact" might not be common knowledge to some. And the other Vastayan himself said that "humans are a splintered race" and not to hold one accountable for all of them.Even if you dont understand humans that much this logic is completely sound. If one dog bites your hand you dont try to put down every single dog you come across.

On a side note it feels like everyday Im starting to dislike Xayah more and more. Shes basically about to get countless people killed over her own bias and extremism. Rakan needs to slap some sense into her before she inadvertently ends up killing off whatever Vastayans are left.

yeah if the vastayans are as hard up as it sounds conflict with any of the major powers would probably end with them destroyed. noxus would march their troops in and once the vastayans started their guerrilla war deal noxus would just burn the forest till there was nowhere left to hide, demacia could just drop galio into their territory and wait for them to drop out of the trees like overripe fruit. xayah wants to start a war her people can not win.

Xayah is actually pretty horrible and xenophobic when you pay attention to her VO. She's also a massive hypocrite and could deal with a good kick in the rear by an equally uppity but not racist Ionian.

I hold an idea that the pact that the Vastayans and Humans made might have to do with the Kinkou, or more specifically, the Eye of Twilight. It's a title and power exclusively passed down from Shen's family line. I'd say a part of the pact probably involved the Eye being given Vastayan magic to travel between the realms to hold balance by killing whatever is the source of misbalance.

Yeah, she's a bloodlusted bitch and dragged poor Rakan into this.

Watson's white mouse?

And Rakan doesn't seem to actually care about the cause, so much as care about her cause.

Even if you dont understand humans that much this logic is completely sound.

There are a bunch of extremist human organizations in the real world that would like to disagree with you. XD

Wait, can someone link me to the story that talks about a pack? I've read Xayah's lore and I don't see anything like that.
