Vastaya - Universe of League of Legends

So it seems we got some updates on the Vastayan, changing the origin of the Vastayashai’rei and give us a little bit more context to Ionia's old history. Vastaya And before people complain that we got a retcon again, the concept of the Great Void War actually created some big problems with the timeline anyway, especially since the Great Void War is the aftermath of the Icathian Rebellion 3,500 years before current present. Which is too little time to actually create a complete race like the Vastaya. Overall, for me it looks like the change to humans which left their physical bodies is setting up things for the upcoming Zed comic but maybe I just read too many things into it.

We also got an update for the Demacian page and the Xin Zhao and Jarvan IV bios to reflect Demacia after the current events of the Lux comic. Demacia Jarvan IV Xin Zhao

age lost to myth, the harmony of the First Lands was shattered by war between mortals and a race of titans that had come from the skies above

So I guess the significance of this image is known to us now

So they are no longer beings born of magic? That's quite a retcon. Just another bunch of men who did magic things (same as Darkin and Ascended, just men), what happened to the other worldly beings? They could have left the Great Void War as something between Targon Aspects and Void long before Shurima was even a thing.

The story about the vastaya seems interesting, if they are truly deathless, shouldn't they still be around? Also I'd really like to see a surviving titan.

Besides it doesn't even really retcon anything, it just gives a background to the Vastayashai’rei, which we lacked before. The whole "humans+Vastayashai’rei= Vastaya" thing still stands as the vastaya are still the descendants of the Vastayashai’rei.

Also it sounds like J4 is still unsure about his political standing in Demacia, which is interesting and could explain him doubling down on the magehunting.

Wait... a race of titans from the space?

but these "mortals" who became vastayashai'rei, were they humans or other animals? It just lacks the explanation of the animal appearance of vastayas

I don’t see the explanation/mention of Demacia’s military might any more. That sucks
