@Bioluminescence, About Kayle and Morgana...

So this was brought up in a different thread, but considering all of the lore changes and my personal attachment to Kayle, I have to ask: what faction are they associated with? At first, they were just aliens. Then there were allusions to them aligning with Targon (I think, don’t quote me). Then. Aatrox’s rework pegged them as Ascended, ala Shurima. And now, on the map, they’re supposedly Demacian? Like, what gives? Like, I know that they’re up for reworks soon, but right now, it feels like their place in the lore is super up in the air right now.

I’m under the impression that they are no longer aliens. And I’ve never heard of them being associated with Targon, asides from a few people theorising that might be the case.

As for their involvement in Shurima and Demacia, everything will most likely tie together once their reworks are released. Personally, I’m sceptical that Kayle/Morgana are Ascended/Darkin as everyone keeps insisting.

My head canon as of now believes that they are Demacian mages that had to run away from home after facing persecution. They travel as sisters until they reach either Targon or Shurima and Kayle somehow tries to Ascend or become an Aspect which creates a rift between her and Morgana. Morgana coveting power tries to do some dark ritual of the sort

Aatrox says she "bound herself to this realm" w/e that means.

That's just what I think will happen

I think they are from Demacia and are decedents of the golden warrior queen who fought the Darkin, and they somehow get the oppurtunity to wield a Darkin weapon, but they fight over who gets to use it, and end up breaking it. Kayle getting all of the Ascended magic from her half, and Morgana just getting the corrupted Darkin magic.

But who is the real good or evil one?

They were never aligned with Targon,that was just fan speculation.

And while Aatrox implied that Kayle and Morgana are related to the ascension ritual,it doesn't mean that they are shurimans,there might have been other nations in the past who developed their own ascension rituals or there might have been an instance where ascension was granted to foreigners for some reason.

In fact it was mentioned that the animal form is a result of the persons own mind and culture,so the shurimans turn into animal-gods when they ascend because they have a lot of animal symbolism in their culture and language. Someone from a different faction would likely turn into something different depending on the ideals of the individual.
