Can we acknowledge the best part of the progress day story?
Noxus got the last laugh
Noxus got the last laugh
tilts head back
"Hah!"
Forever Strong!!
My favorite part is HOW they got the last laugh, honestly: They established a brand new order of spies and information gatherers.
Not only did they win in Piltover, but they've essentially gained a foothold EVERYWHERE with this revelation.
In the terms of D&D, I see Demacia as Lawful, not Good. Demacia prides itself on law and order and obedience to those laws. Nothing in their dogma specifically states that they strive for overarching good.
Garen seems to adhere to justice and righteousness, but again, this is lawful, and even such virtues can be manipulated to darker purposes. We don't actually know or have a reference for what is considered good and vile in Demacia, other than their willingness to kill Taric after he left his post that resulted in the death of some soldiers - a simple mistake, but by no means should it have incurred a death penalty.
What we also know that Demacians view Noxians as evil, but we also know that Demacia is steeped in xenophobia due to their self isolation from other nations. These are very self centered views of the world, and while based in safety and order, can also breed contempt.
So in closing, Demacia definitely needs some love - but like Piltover, I want to see the dark underside of Demacia that uses law and order and martial law for control, manipulation, and power struggles, just like I want to see brighter and happier characters emerge from the city of merit, Noxus. Piltover and Zaun are by far the best representations in this game of the light and dark present on both cities. We have youthful adventurers like Ekko and Janna coming from the Baron controlled, scientifically insane streets of Zaun, while we also have characters like Camille who use an iron fist and manipulations to keep Piltover in functioning order.
"We got a spy!"
Woohoo! Noxus!
Demacia still kicks their ass.
But did they, yes the warmason that got kicked out can still remake the maps if she survives but what makes you think that Colette got in? Gysbert went in after the first girl, and only said he hadn't seen her. Tamara assumed that Colette made it in when she could have been picked up and taken away before Gysbert ever went outside.
