The pbe-lore update have finally placed Zilean somewhere And that alone means that the lore rioters know what they are doing

This means that,** the lore is ready **, Riot know what's coming

Last time i checked it was like :

DISCLAIMER: Despite putting ZIlean here at the top, it’s just to have a cool starting image. I don’t have a proper place for him in this timeline. Sorry Zilean; I’m still trying to figure this, and your lore hasn’t been updated yet.

how i see the coming events :

  • the lore of some champions is being connected to Icathia (Zilean , Jax, etc)
  • Icathia is going to be introduced as** a new region on the universe website**
  • Icathia will get an identifiable aesthetic
  • Icathia will soon bring **a new icathian champion **
  • Icathia's lore will explain us that the **big void portal is still active **and dangerous
  • Icathians are slightly different than humans (Zilean have elf ears, Jax was never confirmed human)

And that** Icathia will be the epicenter **of Runeterra's void invasion (Helped by the tunnels of Rek'Sai , the knowledge of Vel'Koz , etc) Targon will fight as much as they can this void Invasion

As a bonus i also expect Icathian themed skins to come out _(just ike the Shuriman event) _ Maybe this event will be as big as a Bilgewater or Shuriman event Riot said they didnt want to do these kind of things

But they broke their previous rules "to not continue legendary skinline" And now we have sweet skins like Pulsefire Caitlyn and an Omega Squad team

( If you disagree, feel free to give me your interpretation of what that "big change" might be )

Malz v Kassadin sounds like some extremely fun lore to expound upon

honestly with how much they'be been hyping up this event, I'd imagine it will be bigger then one region, but it could entirely be possible that Icthica will be at the center of it all. Though the chances of it being as big as the Bilgewater event are extremely slim. Riot mentioned they would not do another event like Bilgewater and said that even the Demacian event was something that was too large of an event.

My guess is that whatever happens, it will be a large event in the lore sense, involving multiple locations at once rather then one place on its own. If nothing else, a large lore event should at least be possible within the lore team's own resources, which I'm assuming only entails the Universe page and maybe Icons since I assume those are relatively cheep to produce.

Icathians are slightly different than humans (Zilean have elf ears, Jax was never confirmed human)

Maybe its because they´re not really from Icathia. Maybe Icathia is a portal that connects with different worlds/dimensions through which different races come forth. Through that portal Zilean, Jax and the Voidborn came to Runeterra. Maybe even other champions from distant worlds such as Malphite and Morgana and Kayle used this portal.

Don´t know, just a small theory of mine.

A big Icathia event would be nice, some visual updates for some of the older champs, maybe some new voice lines, though in all earnestly I just wonder what is on the table for Zilean, now with his new lore, like I get he is now immortal but is he like god level strength? or just unable to die? I Did his powers come from a rune, or something else? What do they want to take with him, I really hope we see it soon.

I think they intend to have an event in Ionia/piltover with Jhin,zed,shen, cait and others-

Was kinda hinted here and there for a while in a few texts that were released.

Hey guys I am sorry I just started having interest in lore. Can anyone tell me what is this event ? links ? Thank you

VivaLaKitten11/23/2017, 11:39:50 PM2 votes

problem with lore in this game is you cant have it officially go anywhere massive because it would change the champions lore

in that way, nothing of any real importance will happen

The "Big Event" is clearly going to be the void invasion that's been hyped up since literally release. They're probably going to save it for the 10th Anniversary of LoL.

If you're thinking "That's quite a ways off!" well, 4 years ago they said they were working on the Warwick rework and it'd be coming out soon." So Yeah, what Riot considers soon and what we do are no exactly in line.

Gonna be totally honest.....I'm not seeing the signs pointing towards Icathia being the next theme for the next event....with Swain and Irelia (As well as Aatrox) on the way, Noxus and Ionia should be receiving the big updates.

No shit. I doubt they'll carry through with this anytime soon though because it's literally a war from another dimension to take over Runeterra as a whole. It would be a far more grand event and it would currently disrupt too many smaller storylines.

What would be nice is if they reworked Nocturne and made him a Void champion instead of some dudes dream or gave us a similiar champion to noct Anything demonic / spirtiual like nocturne is a bonus in my book if theres a new champ : p

Prob wont happen though since riots leaning towards "Fan service" lately
