Some questions about Kindred.

First of all I don't know, if it's the right place to ask questions about champions, I just want some information.

I'm really close hitting 1 million mastery points with Kindred, and I have been a Kindred OTP in this season, I didn't play anything else.

My first question is, how did Lamb got her wounds in the splash art (it looks like that she is bleeding or something like that)? The wounds doesn't look like that they have been caused by a weapon.

My second question is,** can Wolf create portals, to travel? In the splash art is seems like that the body got duplicated in the background several times, even Lambs arrow are in the same angle. And also there is an effect around Kindred.**

My third question is, how did Kindred came into Runeterra, and also where? Are they even exist?

My final question is, is there any news about a Kindred skin, Chroma, or anything else if it's not a secret?

(Sorry for any grammar mistakes, English isn't my first language.)

Thank you for reading. :)

For the longest time we thought Kindred was a spirit embodying death and not really death itself but recent activity on Reddit suggests that they are older than Aurelion Sol himself and are an entity that can't really be described as "celestial" or "spiritual"

1.There are no wounds on lamb in the splash art,I don't even know what you are mistaking for wounds. Also Kindred is a more spiritual being I'm not even sure if they can bleed at all.

2.While its not outright confirmed,it is at least implied that Kindred is death itself,in which case they'd be omnipresent,they could literally be everywhere where they want to be.Eitherway there is nothing that indicates that Wolf can make portals,the effect around lamb is likely just to make the splash art look more mysterious

3.They were likely born into existence the moment life started to flourish on runeterra(or if they are really death,then they probably existed the moment the universe started to exist).

4.Nothing is known as far as I know.

We don't have any skin info on them (I don't believe there's even unconfirmed leaks either, but wouldn't be surprised if there is one, kindred has been strong recently so riot likely will cash grab them soon.)

I don't think those are wounds, I think those are just an effect to lambs hair/fur as a way of showing they're more then mortal. Kinda like how half of aurelion's body is more wisp like. Idk if death can be wounded for it to represent that.

There some to be some discourse about Kindred's origin and nature. At the very least, it's confirmed that they can change form, and the one's we see in-game are just one appearance they take. As for where they came from... This is the thing that I've seen a lot of people debating. The idea is that Kindred is supposed to be like Runeterra's grim reaper, which means they've likely been around since the beginning of time, or at the very least, since the concept of "death" came to be. This is what the lore heavily seems to point to. Others, though, seem to think that Lamb and Wolf are just spirits (at least, Illaoi implies this with a taunt) that prey on the dying. In which case, they would likely come from the spirit the world.

In either case, the Kindred are certainly real in the world, and they can likely travel anywhere they please, assuming they're not just omnipresent to begin with.

If this teaser is implying that Lamb and Wolf were born of the man who split himself in two, it is understandable that Lamb would have scars/markings.
