What would you like to see out of the Mount Targon scene?

Presently, only Leona, Pantheon and Diana come from the Rakkorean race, and no other known Champions are presently associated with Mount Targon. Though Riot might retcon some to be part of the faction, I think we need some more original Champions to fill in the gaps.

To that end, what about Harpies? Wouldn't they make a suitable "archenemy" of the Rakkoreans? They'd certainly give Pantheon something to kill with regularity (rather than attacking Noxian patrols; that might draw the wrong kind of attention).

I think Panth could use an update. Leona and Diana have a lot of character to them, and pretty solid backstories. They're also, IMO, the best implementation of "Gray" morality in the game (Diana killed a lot of people, but they were all trying to sentence her to death just for talking about another religion, so self defense?).

Pantheon just doesn't really have much that other champions don't cover.

Powerful warrior whose face is never shown? Jax Brave, dauntless, never backs down from a fight? Garen Spear wielder? Kalista Nidalee

I think a visual update and maybe some more detailed Lore, perhaps talking about his exploits as a warrior (ala the Braum lore) could really put him in a better spot.

Well I would actually like to see more rakkor warriors.

I mean when pantheon was introduced he was the only one from Mt.Targon,but now he actually looks like a side character since the Leona vs Diana conflict has become a bigger focus.

I'd say Alistar could be moved to Mt.Targon,since the IoW doesn't exist anymore,but his old tribe is dead too,so he hasn't really many places to go.

I actually agree that Alistar could be moved to Rakkor rather than being independent or Demacian (Although his storyline about being imprisoned by Noxians could still make sense)

yeah,I didn't mean that as an idea for a retcon,but more like an expansion. I mean his updated model makes it clear that he is going to remain a former noxian prisoner(he is still shackled and one of his scars look like an N).

So there could be a story that lets him join the rakkor retroactively(maybe the minotaurs and the rakkor were allies for quite some time?So they are ready to accept him)

It'd be pretty easy. Make his tribe into helots of the Solari or the Rakkor. Boom, both his lore and Sparta in one package.

The problem I'd see with that is,that his tribe was killed by noxus,so if noxus went in and killed them all,that would basically declare war on the rakkor(which could be interesting,but would need to be fleshed out) Not to mention that food on Mt.Targon is scarce(which is why the rakkor basically kill half of their children),so it wouldn't make sense that the rakkor live peacefully together with the minotaurs.

Well, obviously they'd get rid of Noxus in his lore. Really no point in his people being enslaved twice. I like to think the Solari live fairly nice since they're this revered special class. So they could have the minotaurs doing work for them. Still the whole "kill half of your population" thing was always dumb, with infertility, sickness and especially war dealing with the rest of the population, how long do they think they'd have until they'd make themselves go extinct?

GreenLoreDec 26, 20141 votes

well I doubt that they'll get rid of alistar getting imprisoned by noxians,because his updated model on the pbe even has a scar shaped in the form of an N,which probably stands for Noxus(or is just a coincidence)

Noxians disgrace the art of war!

But seriously, I'd be just fine with more champions of that region, be they harpies or warriors, I'd be more than happy to be some more armor ladies like Leona or Diana, as long as they are elegant and beautiful, but also powerful.

I want more Diana and Leona connection. There is very little Official lore connecting the two other than they both are Rakkorean and Solari. Did they meet? What is Leona's opinion on Diana's actions? MORE PLEASE! I can't find anything official beyond; Yes they come from the same place.

Harpies would be amazing.

Diana x MeDec 19, 20142 votes

I don't care what they do as long as it gets attention eventually. They only have 3 champs. I still like my original Idea better because it actually makes sense. Diana does not have any friends and Runaan said she would be alone for awhile.

I agree alistar would fit well at targon. He is the embodiment of strength and Rakkorians respect that.

Pantheon was always supposed to feel like a spartan. Sparta just isn't Sparta without an Athens to hate.

Alistar Minotaurs are from Greek Mythology so he fits the theme of Mt. Targon Kalista I wondered about Kalista's origins, she looks almost Greco-Roman, maybe she was from Mt. Targon before she became the spirit of vengeance I'd really like to see a new champion, Diana and Pantheon are two of my favorite champions and Mt. Targon definitely needs some attention.

GreenLoreDec 27, 20141 votes

I think in Kalistas case it is just a coincidence,since she is confirmed to know the ruined king,which suggests,that she lived on the shadow isles.
