Noxus with a Darius on top

With the updated story for Noxus, I was kind of hoping to see some.....favoritism I guess is a good word for it.

So with Noxus undergoing drastic change under swain, adding two more leaders to the mix, Ive been curious if citzens or champions will have a preference between the three. They all represent a different type of strength of course, but they all kind of have different reasons for it. Swain wants the strongest Noxus possible. Darius seems like he more wants the country to remain united, he seems like the one that may care for the people the most. of course thats more opinion I suppose. The faceless is a mystery. I cant really say anything on them, but if someone think that Darius and Swain don't approve they may hope the faceless does.

I thought Katarina would be one of those champions. I thought that she would approve mainly of Darius, with how she didnt trust Swain. In the update Im not entirely sure. Swain's comments seem to hint she still doesnt like him, but her bio kinda reminded me of the "family last" attitude of Swain.

I immagine that the Black Rose is probably linked to the faceless. Im fairly sure most would agree. Leblanc

Darius is the odd man out. Which is sad, since I find him the most interesting of the three. Swain may have brought him on because he is not super political and would probably agree with Swain in most situations because of their history. Even when it's hinted that Darius disagrees in the principals of strength he did not speak up. I kinda am looking forward to see if he will do more things for the empire, trying to change how Noxus is, or if he will stay a warrior. If the faceless will attempt to manipulate Darius. If Swain will just try to use Darius for his vote. If Darius will get fed up with it and who will stand by him.

I started thinking about this when it was said that Darius would be expected to deal with Swain, and avenge Darkwill. Maybe im also thinking this way because of things like the factions of Freljord, but Noxus is a big place that keeps getting bigger. I guess this is mostly just curiosity of how people think Darius will become in this role. Also to see if I missed something.

I don't think Darius is the same unpolitical warrior most would have assumed him to be in the old lore. When he remains silent in the Principles of Strength, its not because he is afraid to voice his opinion or have it challenged, rather it shows that he understands how the Trifarix works, and how Swain and the Faceless operate, his vote would go unanswered if the other 2 strongly agree on something already, so he doesn't bother. I believe the reason Swain chose Darius, is because he knows he will not be easily manipulated. "You're the only man I know who believes his own words. Even after he's said them." Swain to Darius
