Theories, Angels, Blessed Isles and new nations

After the release of the bios and Shadows and Fortune, I have a theory about where Kayle and Morgana will end up in the canon. Lucian knew of the ruined king's words, which his order must have gotten from somewhere, right? But what's the connection?

  • The cornerstone of the theory is this: The Blessed Isles, now the Shadow Isles, is the only place I can recall seeing angels depicted. Looking at art from the Shadow Isles, there's loads of angel-statues.

So, my theory is that Kayle and Morgana hail from the Blessed Isles, or at least that they or their angelic people was in some way closely connected to the place.

Either before or after the Blessed Isles became the Shadow Isles they left and where involved in establishing the nations of Demacia and Noxus. Kayle brought her sternness and knowledge of holy metalwork to the Demacians and whatever Lucian's order is. Morgana brought her philosophy and knowledge of the dark arts to the Noxians and the Black Rose, settling the nation in the Immortal Bastion. Their sisterly rivalry set the precedent for enmity between the two nations.

I like your idea with Kayle, but Morgana doesn't seem like that type. This could change, obviously, but I find it more likely Noxus would have learned from the secrets held in the Immortal Bastion first, and that is what would have attracted Morgana.

Yeah, the details are trickier. What would you expect Morgana's role in Noxus' history to be? A member, or founder, of the Black Rose perhaps?

Founder of the black rose.

Personally I would think she simply uses Noxus as a refuge. Her main concern is her own people, and while assisting Noxus wouldn't be out of the question it wouldn't seem to be her main purpose.

I would expect her to have a mutually beneficial relationship with Noxus where she shares some of her knowledge in exchange for the hidden knowledge Noxus has found. Her original goal in the old lore was to fight in the League in exchange for more power she can then use to destroy her sister and free her people from their tyrannical government, so I could easily see Noxus as a quick and easy replacement now that the Institute is gone.

I like where you're taking this, making the two champions a lot like Remus and Romulus.

What about the Darkin then? I always saw the Darkin as a good place to put Kayle and Morgana because of their physical similarity to Aatrox.

Personally I think the Darkin might get retconed. I don't see them being impactful as a rare and almost extinct race. Aatrox fits more as a celestial level being.

I agree that as a race they don't seem that impactful, but it opens up lore options for current and new champions as the last, most powerful members of an ancient and near extinct race.

Yeah, I'd like that to be a thing too, and I think it's likely there will be one eventually.
