From RISE... SWAIN The blood of the Demacian prince. How much remains? LEBLANC **After the last charade? **Enough that you should be very mindful of how you use it. Whatever you intend had best be brief
Any thoughts?
I like this.
After all that retconning, you have no idea how relieving it is to hear of something that references the established lore, rather than rewriting it.
I think this shows that leblanc was indeed posing as j4 and then they altered his mind or something?Either way,they used his blood to pull of the kalamanda-thing,which is probably why j4 is now back to normal(because they don't have enough blood to do this forever)
They are going to resurrect the being Sion with the blood of the Demacian prince? Or infuse, I know not of their practices.
If the Kalamanda event is cannon, who broke up the fight? With no IOW to time stop the fighting and enforce the peace. Did another war break out, and is in fact currently happening?
Does seem to be more evidence that LeBlanc had impersonated Jarvan at that battle.
Yes, I do think this is a reference to how Leblanc was probably impersonating J4. But this brings a second question. Could the "last charade" she was talking about possibly refer to Kalamanda????
3rd installment still says locked for me, even if I click the latest news article
Apparently the battle of Kalamanda is still canon. Don't know how withouth the League, though.
Think that the prior Jarvans would be referred to as kings, not princes.
either jarvan is still imprisoned within noxus, or when they DID have him they kept some of his blood. when they speak about not having alot of it left, might just literally be that - they are down to the bottom of the glass.
my hopes
No, this is the blood from J4's ancestor. RISE takes place before Swain takes command of Noxus, just right after he takes his position as a Grand General. '[...] my need for subtlety is nearing its end. I must secure my position with bloodshed, and that requires a blunt instrument.'
I don't think so. The blood of the demacian prince is likely J4's predecessor, and it seems Swain is feeding Sion the blood in order to direct Sion towards killing J4. If LB were really J4 in disguise, I don't think she would be OK with that.
Dan Squared9/25/2014, 6:28:09 AMwhat im currently wondering is if the Rune Wars themselves are still canon...the reason the IOW came into existence was because the Rune Wars were so destructive so dangerous to the integrity of the world that summoners from all city states banded together to stop it. Since the IOW no longer exists...that means there was nothing to stop the rune wars....which would only matter if the Rune Wars themselves were still canon.
Cant really back this up with anything, but the way I see the current climate in Valoran is basically a cold war....no major engagements are occurring currently, mostly minor clashes and trade disputes (Kalamanda could im thinking would be retconed into something like this, which Swain used to set up his plan).
