Something big is going down in Demacia...

And when I mean big, I mean history defining. Let me explain:

First, we have Galio. Instead of being just the average blue gargoyle, he is now a MASSIVE white colossus, meant to protect Demacia, and he only wakes up when Demacia is in need of protecting. Even his teaser image that was released last week is titled "The Hour of Need".

Next, we have Lux's new VO.

One of her new lines, which is obviously aimed towards J4, states: "I'm a Crownguard, but you wear the crown! You're a Lgihtshield , but I wield the lgiht! Uh...speaking metaphorically, your highness."

And lastly, we have a comment from Jaredan, the Senior Narrative Editor for Riot (he's basically in charge of everything lore wise), of which he jokingly made towards the new Demacia player icon: "Ahh, the design for Jarvan III's new ceremonial flower stand. I wondered where that went. "

What do all of these add up to? Well, I'm guessing that Demacia gets invaded by......something. It could Noxus, it could be something entirely different, we just don't know yet. But, it is safe to say that Demacia is in some pretty deep.......you know.

So deep, in fact, that the current king of Demacia, Jarvan Lightshield the Third...

#IS KILLED.

Why did Galio awake? Why does a king need a ceremonial flower stand? And why does Lux say that J4 "wear[s] the crown" if J4 is only a prince?

So, in the coming weeks, along with Galio's release, I expect we are going to see another wave of stories come out, detailing 3 things:

1. Demacia gets invaded by something (we don't know what this is yet). Because of this, Galio awakes.
2. During the invasion, Jarvan III is killed somehow (we don't how, or by whom)
3. After the invasion, we get to see the coronation of Jarvan IV.

Remeber though, that this is all specualtion. J3 could very well be alive and well, and I'm just reading into this wrong. But the current evidence we have all points towards what I just detailed.

Let's see what happens, shall we?
