Does Leona do anything besides pray to the sun at the Solari Temple?

Do you think she might do stuff like go on pilgrimages down to other parts of Valoran and spread the word of the sun? If so, who do you think she'd socialize well with?

My bets for who she'd be friendly with are: Lux Ezreal Irelia Braum Karma Sona Soraka Taric

Since the Retcon, i highly doubt that she knows that those persons even exist... except maybe, Karma because she is a political figure.

The champions that she may know are (aside from Diana and Pantheon) Azir and Nasus ... because... Praise the sun item 3069

Considering the Solari's reverence of the sun Leona might spend most of her time "doing God's will" so to speak, ergo running around doing things in the name of the almighty sun god that remains un-named for two cultures whose religions are based entirely around it. With that in mind it depends on what the sun would ask of her or what the Solari believe it would ask of her. Since she's a defender it might be she spends her time protecting people from whatever creatures and sinister folk live in and around Mount Targon, or she might be busy rebuilding the Solari's entire government considering the core of it was pretty much destroyed by Diana.

I dunno.

Yes, Leona enjoys engaging in jolly co-operation with her peers. ...if only I could be so grossly incandescent...

What if the sun god/ess and moon god/ess are best friends and just like to amuse themselves with humans.

-Everyone- would be friends with Soraka! Except Karthus. He's a butt-face. And probably Warwick. But he's a butt-face too.

The Solari might have a system similar to the monastery system of our world, if so, the answer to the question of the thread is yes.

Just a theory with little basis, however.

I've been meaning to submit this post on the Leona-Diana story. I keep a Guide to Writing Fantasy on my desk since I aspire to write myself, and when I had read its section on creating antagonists, the passage reminded me of Leona and Diana. Here's an excerpt:

It's All About Motivation

If the villain plans to murder the Chosen of Jubilé because there is no clear successor and the Church of the Revered Truth will descend into anarchy, allowing his own Cult of the Blue Oyster to move in and fill the role of the First Religion of the Empire, we need to know why, so ask questions. Is he an evil genius, bent on world domination? (Please, don’t tell me you’re not going to try to rest on that old chestnut). Is he still bitter about having been cast out of the Church of the Revered Truth when he discovered that the eighth of the Fourteen Revelations was stolen from the Twentyfold Writings of Frogam, a heretical religion the Church of the Revered Church once led a crusade against? Now you’re talking. . . . Maybe no one now in the service of the church had anything to do with this plagiarism, which was perpetrated centuries ago, and the church is in fact the greatest stabilizing influence our otherwise chaotic fantasy world has experienced. The Chosen of Jubilé is an utterly altruistic heroine, a tireless champion of the common people, and if one little story in the ages-old scripture of her faith turns out to agree with a fraction of the heretical writings of a mad prophet, it won’t erase the positive influence the rest has had on the world.

When I read of the Chosen of Jubilé, I immediately thought of Leona. I can even see this as happening within the lore. I think Leona champions the benevolent values presented by the Solari faith, not essentially promote the faith itself.
