All hail thematic cohesion! The one true rule to trump all!

I think. That rule trumps other rules right? Or am I mistaken?

Also it occurs to me; are Skarner's crystal spires like the archia crystals, or are they just arachia straight up? Also Mordekaiser's scary. He can enslave the souls of FUCKING DRAGONS.

If it doesn't it should!

I am honestly not familiar with archia crystals. Is that a Dark Crystal reference?

No (I actually know sod all about Dark Crystal) it's a reference to Skarner's old judgement; the Arachia were the crystals that the Brackern bonded with that made them Brackern in the first place. They were inherently magical and finding your personal one was sort of a right of passage for Brackern; if you found it you'd grow strong, if you didn't you'd kinda just die.

The whole reason they went underground was because the Arachia got poisoned by the magic of a rune war. I suspected that in Skarner's new lore (whenever it comes to light) that things stay roughly the same but things are moved to Shurima with some minor tweaks. I got the vibe of Skarner's Crystal Spires being linked to the Arachia of his old lore because of the whole empowerment deal with them.

See, I did not know this. At all. Of course, I've never been terribly interested in Skarner (I'm a heartless monster, I know).

I largely suspected that is what Riot would do to Skarner's lore. If your speculation proves correct, then it will be a very nice reference to his original story.

I'm this way with a few champs, most notably Lux; I really just don't give a damn about her. I recon that makes me a ruffian, scoundrel and heathen all in one, but you know what they say, different strokes for different blokes.

Well hopefully we'll find out soon if those Shurima bios finally come around. Regardless I'm sticking to this as what's canon since it seems the most logical to me right now.

Morde has that fallen Leviathan

SharjoAug 22, 20151 votes

What the Blue Flame Leviathan? It was never said he enslaved it, only that it died to stop the Harrowing.

It's only possible. Not direct though.

Skarners new passive reminds me of this artwork Riot made for the Worlds. http://euw.leagueoflegends.com/sites/default/files/styles/scale_xlarge/public/upload/lcs_client_hdr_1920x1080_worlds.jpg?itok=dF8N3QuU Also the final boss in Blitzcranks Poro Roundup, Baron Nashor, is located in Shurima. Coincidence, I think not.
