Nunu & Willump - Biography - Universe of League of Legends

Besides Nunu now looking AMAZING, his bio now has some very interesting stuff regarding Freljord's story.

Here's a little tl;dr before i get into more detail:

  1. Freljord is cold and snowy because of Anivia
  2. The Frostguard are kind of the good guys on the surface and none of the people know Lissandra's an evil Ice Witch (Yep, still their chief)
  3. Lissandra wants the power the last Yeti (Willump) has. Possibly a world rune!
  4. The Yetis took part in burying the Watchers (presumably) and Willump met the three sisters
  5. There's dark ice in the heart of the Freljord with the Watchers in it, and it's melting

So, we already knew Anivia was one of Ornn's siblings and this story lets us know that just like Ornn and Volibear, she shaped the world around her. There's still not much on her yet, but this is a nice little nod to her influence as a god-like being.

As for the Frostguard, I'm really into their story. From Nunu we learn that they are considered powerful and noble warriors. Back when Lissandra was first released we also learned that they are considered peaceful, guarding the North and it's secrets. However, they serve their leader Lissandra above all else. And as we know from her story, she is actually the Ice Witch of legend, disguised as a noble leader. She waits for the right time to strike with her Frostguard as she lets Ashe and Sejuani fight to the death. It's amazing that Lissandra managed to keep her cover for so long, as she's been erasing all records of herself throughout history. We can see here that she's very busy trying to find as much as she can to aid her cause.

Now, Willump recalled the three sisters as well as the ''betrayal by the blind one'', which means that he must be aware of Lissandra's affiliation with the Watchers, as they are presumably responsible for the Yetis loosing their magic. This magic might be linked to the Watchers sealing, which may explain why Lissandra wants to find their power so bad. Guess we'll have to see.

FINALLY, the Watchers are thawing. Their return has been announced since Lissandra's release, but substantial has happened. This proves that they are indeed thawing, meaning that when Lissandra sealed them back in Ornn's story, she purposely left a loophole for them to return. Can't wait to see how they are connected with the rest of the lore and how the people of Runeterra will react to their arrival.

Please speculate away, as you can see I'm very hyped and do let me know if i missed something important!

The Frostguard serve Lissandra because she's impersonating her descendants. They're under the illusion that they're serving their queen. They're still normal people, just deceived, and probably dislike the Ice Witch as much as other Freljordians.

Ryze also hints at the Watchers' return, and so does Swain. They'll be here soon. I'm interested in seeing what they can do.

It's not unheard of for people to say that gods were responsible for the weather. The Vikings believed it thundered because of Thor. The freljordians probably belive Anivia is responsible for cold weather because of local folklore. Whether there is any truth to these stories remain to be seen.

I think the gem willump had was a world rune and it fused with nunu because it seems as when nunu got closer willumps appearance changed. That’s probably why Lissandra was so interested in the yetis.

Things are setup pretty nicely for a Freljordian conflict in the future; Watchers on the way back, but there's still powers in place to best them, just long forgotten and hidden away, namely the demigods and the yeti. Will be interesting to see how things progress from here, since Volibear's still pretty active and by extension word of Ornn's probably gonna spread. Wonder if Ashe has met Nunu and Willump yet.

So, based on Nunu's described powers, I take it he actually inadvertently made all those stars fall in his teaser video when he wished for more wishes?

Very good theories,which I believe to be true! My only question is why does Lissandra need the last yetis magic? She has enough power and magic of her own, what does the yeti have thats so precious? I like how Lissandra is playing the seemingly good stepmom but is actually and evil witch LOL*[slayer-pantheon-rainbows]*

One more thing, which I think you interpreted right and I didnt quite get that.. It says that the dark ice at the heart of the freljord, which is ofc the frostguard citadel and the howling abyss around it, is melting and my thought was that Lissandras dark ice is losing its power( whoch wouldnt make sense) but then you clarified that in fact lissandra sealed the watchers with a loophole for their return... So the loophole is the dark ice melting and allowing them a path to come back... GREAT THOGUHTS THANKS :)

The point 1 could be an exaggeration... those are legends anyways.

You forgot to talk about Nunu and his mother’s magic and how Nunu is going to have to save the Freljord.

I was kinda surprised they mentioned Lissandra by name in the Nunu bio. Isn't she supposed to be disguised?
