Kindred and Bard relations?

Barbwired Mind·Sep 22, 2015·7 votes·13,261 views

So found this and brought up the thought: Who will Kindred's allies and enemies be? and who will they relate to? I know is on the list because he's a natural hunter and lamb compliments him on his work, but looking at as a celestial being and as the embodiment of war, it would make sense they know each other if not have relations. And of course is some sort of spirit as well and has supposedly been around for as long as Attrox has because of some remark he made, so there has to be some sort of connections somewhere. Lets predict?

Anyone else have similar suggestions or thoughts?

On the note of Aatrox, I feel their relationship is an incredibly complex one. On the one hand, death and war are intrinsically linked; you cannot win a battle without losing lives. However, Lamb and Wolf act in accordance with more natural causes of death, and the wanton destruction of war may be distasteful to them. I believe the unused taunt for them is directed at Aatrox.

"Long have we shadowed your deeds." "TURN AND FACE US, NOW!"

What else follows in the shadow of war but death? And considering Aatrox is effectively immortal, he has never been forced to "face" death.

The quote almost makes them seem resentful of the Darkin Blade for the excess he indulges, assuming of course it is meant for him.

Wow. Riot's lore team is weak.

Between Kindred and Bard? I'd say so, they seemingly have similar origins and backgrounds.

I thought so, too.

I do like this picture of them though it's very good.

Some more explanation on Bard in general would be lovely but I know that thing will take time I guess

Lore wise, Bard might be the most powerful thing on Runeterra. He's basically a cosmic guardian that's been omnipresent since the world was created (At least since the Watchers were around), possessing an inanimate body so he can physically interact with events, altering them so they don't cause the entire universe to fall apart. He doesn't really value the life of an individual for any kind of morality, but he would save a single life if that person were to go on and assist in keeping the universe patched up, so it seems like he has some kind of future sight or omniscience.

Perhaps. Do remember though that Kindred was also said to have omniscience (via a riot post).

To me I think that Bard and Kindred represent two sides of the same coin. Bard is guardian, a protector of life itself and the universe. Kindred is Death, the end that everything must face and the final step of all things. I don't believe one is more powerful than the other, as they both are merely opposites of the same Aspect.

They dont have enough destructive power, what does make them that powerful? I dont think they have a strong duel power.

they are the only champion who has some interaction with bard and they have similar designs and rolls, thats enougth for me. But I keep wondering why if Kindred are "the Death" or the "Grim Reapers" why are they not welcome in Shadow Isles

I think because they represent Death's permanence. For them, there is no life beyond.
