@WAAGHbobo - are you going to tell us more stories about Nagakabouros soon?

The serpent god who Illaoi serves. I remember you saying even Aurelion Sol has met him before.

I'd love to hear more about him. Can you share a bit of what is in store for Nagakabouros?

Huh? I think your misquoting me, slightly - or maybe I explained it poorly- ASol knows Nagakabouros -- meaning he understands and is aware of that god. As powerful as ASol is, he's not on that level. --They don't hang.

In a story, Nagakabouros is a philosophy and an important religious belief. So hopefully it/her will show up indirectly in many of the upcoming stories-- esp those surrounding Bilgewater.
Personally, I'd love to do comics or novellas about Bilgewater. I love Illaoi, Gangplank, TF, Graves, and Lil' Okao holds a special place in my heart.

(And of course, I'd live to follow up on Jhin mission in Piltover.)

Iirc according to Cristina at the time, the skins were all just given their separate skin canons and alternate universes, unless they were specifically connected to Runeterra canon.

For example. Battlecast, Mecha, and PROJECT can be connected to Viktor's Evolution lore, but Scuba Gragas isn't. The Star Guardian obviously runs on its own release lore and alternate universe as well, as it can't fit with Runeterra's setting (modern country with middle school magical girls).

The problem there is that Riot made the perfect excuse to NOT explore any hooks just as much as the excuse to explore any hook they want. "We are doing stuff that you don't know about, but we're doing stuff" is the general idea. The problem with your suggestion is that you already know what Nagakabouros does and can extrapolate the information you already have to fit any instance with Nagakabouros in it, therefore the creators do not have to 'effectively' come back and add further exploration.

I was also curious about this but, what do you think Nagakabouros would think about the existence of aberrations like Dark Star entities (Thresh and Varus)? I think they also got mentioned by Aurelion Sol in his VO.

What about Crimson Elite Katarina? :/ You scrapped this skin years ago, and I think it has a lot of potential..
