A while ago I learned about what riot was doing with Holiday, now not holiday I guess, themed events. I also do not agree with it, but that is not the point. While I was reading the new lore I noticed something that goes against what Riot has said. So with everyone learning about how these events can be whenever I want to point out this out in Chapter 3 of the new lore...

Rafen shrugged. “A few years from now there won’t be anywhere in Bilgewater beyond its reach.”

“A lot can happen in a few years,” said Miss Fortune.

“This happens every year?” asked Olaf, one foot perched on the parapet with a reckless disregard for the dizzying drop.

Miss Fortune nodded.

“Excellent,” said the Freljordian. “If I am fated not to die this night, I will return here when the Black Mist rises again.”

“It’s your funeral,” replied Rafen.

“Thank you,” said Olaf, slapping an enormous palm on Rafen’s back, almost knocking him from the bridge. The Freljordian’s eyes widened as a host of ghostly tentacles rose from the mist, uncoiling to smash down on the dwellings of Rat Town.

In this little scene it is clearly stated that the harrowing happens around the same time every year.

So yea just my bit. Feel free to discuss.

"It happens every year" does not mean "it happens at the same time every year", nor "it happens once per year", nor "it's a holiday". Besides, it's only recently that the time between Harrowings has been as short as one year.

It was said that the harrowings are coming more often over time. look at the map http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/special-event/first-light-after-harrowing

It lists 3 harrowings that happened in one year(and it is not known if a year has even passed since then).

They don't care. Just buy the skins.

Yeah, but it's just the lore team saying that, they don't even follow their own canon, let alone the rest of Riot's.
