@Riot what is Swain whispering when he casts his W?

tendo625··23 votes·2,483 views

I'm talking about the spell-like words 'Nefa', 'Do', 'Crah', 'Nas' and 'Falan' only heard by the enemy when near his W. Is it some demonic language/spell or does it have a specific meaning? Either way, it always sends chills hearing it and I really appreciate the sound work that went into making it so unnerving.

If you listen closely he is actually speaking the truth "Traps arent gay" "The dick makes it better" "Rem best waifu"

Even Noxus has a soft spot for everyone's favorite blue-haired maid.

Damn you, i was about to get up this morning and make this post! Anyway, the most plausible conclusion I could make is they're Noxian in origin, similar phrase "Stom ur got!" from Urgot's login music.

Some kind of insight or translation would be cool Mr. Interlocutioner.

Isn’t urgot’s login music lyrics Zaunites?

Sons of Ur are Zaunites but the chanting itself was confirmed to be Noxian during the AMA.

I believe this is ancient Ionian. This language similar the stuff spoken by Karma, Yasuo, and Xayah.

Swain DID lose his arm in the Ionian wars, maybe the demon he posseses is Ionian in origin

My personal theory; It's based in runes.

Runes ARE/WERE a language after all, a very, VERY ancient, and clearly powerful language. Reasoning behind it? Just look up some old germanic runes from real life, some of the dialects pronounced sound just like the stuff you linked

This is a cool little tid-bit of lore I'd like to uncover.

I can't wait for his re-release so I can read over his new lore.
