Shurima & the Void + some love for Zed, Shen & Noc

Hey dear Ex-Summoners,

With the currently starting rework of the League Lore I wanted the share my toughts and Ideas about the Void, big part of League but missing some background Story.

The first big question is what is the Void?

For me I would love the Idea of the Void beeing the future/one possible future of Runterra at best, even the worst for it, which only happens due to the Mistakes of somebody we all know (Maybe Zilean? "I know your secret" -Vel'koz).

How did it happen that those timelines are connected?

That's another hard question,

  1. either already there the Mistake happend and the whole connection only exists because of that (maybe a bit complicated but a paradoxon where as the darkest future only exists, because the creatures from that future came to the past much earlier then they should, because of that timerift <.<)

  2. or another Idea i prefer since the Shurima retune, to connect the existence of this timerift with the huge wild magical power which was around when Xerath betrayed Azir( it destroyed the whole City, who says it couldn't have done even more?) Maybe even connect those Ideas, who knows how old Zilean is and where he was during that time? ;)

Zed, Shen and Noc?

I always tought Zed and Shen have to be brothers, why else would Zed be so jealous about the attention from Shens father? Also the creepy Shadow power, which for me connects Zed and Noc, just coming out of a box? There's the connection to the Void, where else then from the darkest possible place could such a power come from?

  1. For Noc i think he could again be either the Creature, which was locked into that box by the Ninjamaster, and by transfering some of it's power to Zed the Creature baited him to take more power, but accidently release the Monster,

  2. or a digging a bit deeper there is a third person(/brother?) who got defeated and deadly wounded by Zed when he attacked the Ninjas. Now the creature in the box was locked in there after getting weakend, so when Zed is stealing it's power the creature can't stop him. So after Zed took as much power as he could, he left the box open because it was worthless for him, but the now even weaker creature is looking for a Way to surive. In the end Noc becomes a connection between the rest of the Void creatures and the deadly wounded Ninja, to form a stronger Creatures and the goal of this Nightmare is to get revange and kill Zed.

I Hope I wrote it understandable and if it gets enough attention i could try to write a real lore for this Ideas, but for now just share your opinions!

Overall I'd say connecting Nocturne to Zed would be nice,but I wouldn't see much of a similarity between the two since the only thing that connects them is "they both have shadow powers"(and they are even fundamentally different,with Zed controlling shadows and Nocturne controlling darkness)

I mean sharing an element isn't really that rare among champions as we haveBrand &Annie,Zyra &Maokai or Lux &Lucian Not to mention all those freljord champs with ice powers(But granted they are connected through the location)

This is why most people connect Zed and Nocturne. That and the similarity between Noc passive animation and Zed E animation.

That Lucian and Lux joke made me laugh way more than i should have

Well Lucian and Lux do share the element of Light,with Lux being a light mage and Lucian having guns that shoot light. And well both of them having a spin attack isn't that much(I mean look at Pantheon and Nidalee,they both throw with spears) and that is only one of Zeds skins and skins are most of the time not even canon,so I wouldn't read much into that

Oh i misinterpret that, though the misinterpretion is funny xD

Skins are pretty much alternate universe, so yeah i agree we shouldn't read that much into it, sadly it's like a year too late hehe.

I Like all this man , hope to see it get more attention. I think the lore could be made better just by Rito going through some plausible fan-made stories. Thanks for the read, have a good one.

Thanks, one upvote, just some more to go^^

I really hope Riot is starting to get closer to the community while building up the new lore. There are some people out there, who have insane Ideas and/or writing Skills + they love League.

A writing contest like the Comic ones would be a really nice Idea to start.
