@Riot Is Vayne still related to Evelynn with her VGU?

Twisted Fate and Evelynn were once a couple but now that's not canonical anymore.

Now with Evelynn's VGU and the dark isles having a look at, is Vayne looking at another lore update or are you keeping it to have Evelynn has the demon who killed her family. It says horned demon in the lore which saddens me because most champions give insight to the world of Runeterra or have an interaction with another champion that highlights properties of them. The horned statement dismisses Evelynn as the culprit removing any hint at her other than Twisted Fate and Vayne's lore giving more world building.

Also, I am also curious on if I'm missing something from her lore or it just feels like her lore doesn't offer much (as in it's dull comparatively to other lore in terms of content it offers). Champions like Nasus and Kog'maw are pretty mysterious but we get so much knowledge about them and their world from other champions and their lore confirms topics such as (Void growth, Nasus possibly looking for Sol etc)

Reading Vayne's lore, there's not much I feel is being revealed other than just her character. Without her lore, we already know:

  • Demacia is prejudicial against magic
  • Frejlord is facing Lissandra
  • There are demons and dark magic

I would be interested in:

  • How her Silver Bolts work against demons since Vayne dislikes magic
  • Possible involvement with the Black Lotus and Dark Isles (As both deal with dark magic and she should be against them)
  • Hints at her being a rumored threat or some lore cross-interaction because League of Legends indicates these characters have feats that are ordinarily impossible in Runeterra. I want to see what makes Vayne legendary

With stories like the Void and Frejlord, we get:

  • Void classes and their style of growth (Kog'maw, Cho'gath, Rek'Sai)
  • Relation to Shurima
  • Void is possible the threat Aspects exist for
  • Nasus/Bard can possibly release Sol from Pantheon to restore Shurima and face Void
  • Frejlord Fight

TL;DR - Void and Frejlord have champions that offer so much information and cross-interaction.

With Vayne, I'm not really getting much about the world/lore but more about herself. I think her character as a roaming vigilante can offer a lot of insight to the world.

Evelynn is still the demon that killed Vayne's parents. Evelynn and Vayne are still linked on universe (it's one-way Eve-to-Vayne though, possibly because Vayne's page hasn't been updated yet), and Evelynn has an interaction towards Vayne.

I do feel like Vayne's lore has a lot of potential, but I'm can't really help you with your other questions. Sorry.

Vayne's lore was updated last year to include Evelynn as a nemesis. Why would they immediately change it this year?

Furthermore, in almost all branches of mythology, certain metals by default have highly damaging properties to magical creatures. Most fairy creatures cannot influence and are heavily harmed by iron, and werewolves (and in more current iterations of mythology, other beasts of the night) are heavily damaged and poisoned by silver. Vayne's use of silver isn't magical at all - it's just a metal which she has found that harms creatures of the dark more than anything else.

Additionally, the Black Rose is a secret society. It's barely known in Noxus, where it's headquartered, and it's only known by those in it and Swain, so I highly doubt a nation that is hostile to Noxus would know about the immensely secret society working within, unless there are members in Demacia (of which Vayne would not be a part of).

In Vayne's story, it says that Evelynn is worshiped as a goddess in the mountains in the far north of Demacia, people who get there, don't ever come back again, and Vayne located the place to hunt down Evelynn and finally take her revenge.

I would love to see a long story which include a fight or a dialogue between the two, or even a CGI full video about Vayne hunting the deadly succubus who killed her beloved parents in the deep dark caverns where all the followers are making sacrifices for the demoness. I really want to see that, I would even give money for it !

Demacians are not actively fighting Lissandra that we know of. Several people have heard that there Is a powerful Ice Witch in the Freljord

Evelynn has horns in her demon form, so if anything it just confirms it :)
