I know this lore is understandably getting a lot of backlash rn, but I'm just wondering why he chose/had to possess two people instead of one. Why did he even need to "craft" a body from their materals at all, when Rhaast is just wielded by Kayn's natural body and tries to corrupt him over time?
It might not be a question of need. If he had the extra material, why not?
Because they needed to push the gay thing onto us
Mostly, because they both fell into the well and if you see a good 2x1, you usually take it don't you? Varus did the same.
Lorewise, its because neither Kai nor Val has enough strenght to resist something like Varus alone, only both together are able to, and even in that case, they are struggling hard
kai was literally dying? you're not going to inhabit a dead body.. because then you're dead..
varus was also faced with the dilemma of keeping kai alive. so he somehow needed to keep kai alive. so he crams his soul into valmar's body and then takes it over with the bow
