What is the connection between Shen, Ryze, Xerath, Kindred and Shadow Isles ?

Question 1 :

As stated in and lore they both are masters of arcane energy. There is something also stated in 's lore it's his Spirit Blade " Its a sword of pure arcane energy " . Can Ryze and/or Xerath use or bend Shen's Spirit Blade or even Shen himself ? ( Why? Because its says " Within him exists an uneasy fusion of human soul and arcane power " .) Because they are masters of Arcane Energy and of course there is really so much similarty between and . They both has shield, teleport, arcane power etc. etc.

Question 2 :

has connection to Spirit Realm and its his duty to keep balance within humans and spirits. As stated in his lore " He is seen by both sides as someone to be feared " and_** " a sword of pure arcane energy. It was used for dealing with spirits, and had been passed down through many generations of Shen's ancestors. He had slain countless demons, ghosts, wraiths, and sprites with it over the years ." **_
Some champions in Leauge considered as Wraits, Demons, Spirits etc. etc. ( River Demon and Darkins Demon like creatures) . Does that means are they afraid from Shen too? Can Shen destroy them with his Spirit Blade ?

Question 3 :

Does aware of or the previous Eye of Twilight ? Shen kills spirits and humans right ? And it isnt the Kindred's job to send humans or spirits to death ? What are they? Friends or Rivals ?

About Q2: I think you need to differentiate between spirits and ghosts. Spirits in lol are more like embodiments of magic and nature,wheras the undeads of the shadow isles are souls that are kept in the living world by magic. While ghosts are also sometimes called spirits,they aren't the same as the spirits that Shen deals with.

And yeah I think that Shen would be able to kill Tahm kench,since Tahm is a demon and in Shens lore it is more or less confirmed that Shen can slay demons.

Q1: This one's a bit wonky to think of. We don't really know how magic works, so I can't tell.

Q2: The Shadow Isles is probably the strongest undead force in all of Runeterra. Shen would never be able to take them on alone and they are aware of that (if they are even aware of Shens existence). The same would go for Lucian btw. Anyways, since Shen only goes after "imbalance", I don't think the likes of Aatrox and Tahm Kench would be interesting for him, as their meddles are either rare (Aatrox), or not affecting too many people (Tahm)

Q3: Kindred doesn't kill. She's more like the Grim Reaper of sorts.
