Turmoil (spoilers so don’t read unless uve read the story/don’t mind)
Lol, you have to admit Riot generally knows what they’re doing. Going in I was expecting a story revolving around mages and Demacian politics, as was the case however in ways that weren’t really expected.
The Arjen was likeable, and Cithria was ameliable... therefore I thought it’d come down to her, and possibly the rest of her troop, realizing mages aren’t bad... when the town set up that ambush, that thought became further established. But the plot twist that occurred, it wasn’t just the mother who was “rebelling”, but the entire town.... that does wonders to contribute to the divide within Demacia, while highlighting the ideals of Demacia itself.
We saw that the borderlands of Demacia were more likely to be sympathetic with mages, shown by Sylas’ first color story. “Turmoil” follows that up perfectly, settling the outcries of Demacia being misrepresented. A sort of civil war is the highlight of Demacia rn, and I eagerly await more.
