For Nocturnes new lore, post Retcon, what if we tied him into the Glade?

Currently, the Glade is a rather unexplored subject in League. All we know about it comes from Lulu, stating that shape and color where could be changed easily and frequently.

Stemming off onto another topic, if you've ever read the books of the Harry Dresden files, a wizard detective living in Chicago, there is also a realm called the Fae. This Fae is influenced heavily by our world. A place that is very safe, happy, and lovely, like a park, in our world, will translate into a safe, happy, lovely place in the Fae. Same for vice versa.

Tangent over, this is what Bandle City equivalents in the Glade. It's safe, happy, and fun, just more vibrant and showy of those attributes. The Glade amplifies the attributes of our world into theirs.

So how does this tie in Nocturne huh? Well if the Glade near Bandle City is all safe, happy and fun, imagine the Glade near The Shadow Isles. The already Dark, twisted life that lives there could be even worse in the Glade. This is where Nocturne would reside when he isn't haunting the nightmares of some poor soul.

He travels through the Fade, ripping through into the real world to catch and kill whoever he pleases. No one can stop him from entering any house, any fortress, any safe house. He'll rip through dimensions to kill his target.

So, for a post retcon Nocturne, how does that sound for him?

Actually, that's an intriguing idea. What if both Fiddlesticks and Nocturne were manifestations of the 'Dark Glade'? Hmmm.

It expands upon the unknown world of the Glade, while posing interesting questions like what would Bilgewaters be, with its sudden state of confusion and destruction.

Imagine the Revival of Shurima. Before the glade would be a wasteland, but with its resurrection of Shurima, it could be this wonderland of an oasis or something.

There is a difference between Shadows and Darkness/Nightmares

The shadows are generated by light, in other hand, darkness means that there is no light at all.

Nocturne is a living nightmare, not a living shadow. Zed only has powers of shadows..

So, both champs have no actual relation... nightmares are not related to a shadows... unless you have sciophobia.

I like the idea of Nocturne becoming a Demon of Fear (where Tahm Kench may be of 'Hunger'). Darkness exacerbates fear.

Tahm Kench: Hunger Nocturne: Fear Shaco: Mischief/Disorder Fiddlesticks: Terror

Still, doesn't mean Demons are not tied some places. Tahm Kench may be attracted by Bilgewater's misery. The Shadow Isle may invoke fear and so Nocturne may reside there .. but there's nothing to sate him. The Glade may become his greatest reap.

an interesting idea, but Riot hates connecting their champions together. That's why Bard, Tahm, and Kindred have no connection to anything previously established, despite the potential being there; Bard & Soraka, Tahm being another Daarkin, etc. Riot feels this makes the world of LoL "small", so I wouldn't hold your breath.
