So as we all have heard by now Tahm Kench has been released. And honestly he seems to be really fun and not be broken at all. But that's not what i'm here to chat about but rather what I am here to chat about is something that Tahm Kench reminded me of...

The Shadow Isles

Why does Tehm Kench remind me of the Shadow Isles? Because its hinted that he has ties to Bilgewater and Bilgewater has the Harrowing etc. So I started to reread the bios they gave to the Shadow Isle champions just to re-jog my memory of them when I stumbled across Moakai's. In all honestly that was the first time I actually read the new Maokai lore and was actually quite pleased with it. It didn't offer many answers but none the less still a good read. So I kept reading them until I hit Kalistas and something popped into my head for the first time.

Why does Kalista have multiple personalities?

Sure its obvious and its stated right in her lore but they never explain why she has this condition. So I reread what little information she has offered to us and was stumped. I just assumed it would be one of those mystery things Riot never gets around to but then I got this crazy idea in my head.

What if Kalista actually played a big role in the transformation of the Shadow Isles?

Now before your all like " Really LANWhale, really? Stupid." hear me out. Now we know Kalista was murdered, betrayed actually, while she was trying to stop the ritual, right? By whom? Not a big deal for my theory but I have my speculations_ cough not Hecarim cough_. But rather the focus on this is the scenario or rather the event that was going to take place when Kalista was quite literally back stabbed.

**So why is this the point of my theory? Because I believe that by using Kalista's corpse they were able to open a gateway for the damned to enter our world and explains why Kalista has multiple personalities! **

Clearly a ritual like this needed strong magic and something to focus that energy threw, which explains why they did the ritual in the forest were the magical essence was the strongest. As well it makes sense to channel the spirits of the damned they need something they can use to create a bridge between the two worlds but what could possibly offer such a path way? Some ones dying spirit, some one crossing over. It was planned from the beginning for Kalista to be at the spot when they began, they left little crumbs here and there for her to raise an eye brow and to start investigating. And when she finally pieced all the information they left for here, that is were her fate had been sealed.

The king would claim what he had lost even if it meant losing his best warrior to achieve it.

Kalista is referring to all the Souls she has merged with due to her pacts,

I actually thought that the princess that Tahm ate was the princess of the shadow isles (before the "accident")... mainly because there are only 3 "kingdoms" in Valoran: Demacia, Freljord, and the former kingdom of "Shadow Isles"
