Freljord V.S Noxus

Placentas··1 votes·1,171 views

So in Taliyah's new story -spoiler- she is told by Yasuo to make her way towards the Freljord to meet people there who are currently against Noxus. I am going to go ahead and assume this will be Ashe's faction (Avarosans) of the Freljord since Sejuani/Winter's Claw doesn't seem to care about anything but taking over control of the Freljord. Ashe is much more diplomatic, trying to unite the Frejlord, and no doubt communicating with other super powers in Runeterra.

Now this would mean Demacia sides with Ashe/Avarasons which could mean the Noxians and Winter's Claw could form an alliance as well. But don't forget Lissandra is currently controlling the Frostguard faction which sides with the Avarosans, but we all know Lissandra just wants to freeze the world.

Or, Taliyah could even be meeting Quinn who we last saw having an encounter with Lissandra in the Frejlord. I don't quite remember the story, but I know Quinn was sent by Demacia on a mission to see what's going down in the Frejlord. So perhaps Quinn is stationed there with other Demacians.

And not to mention that Shurima has risen in the present day and Azir is seeking to rebuild Shurima.

Who knows, this could be the start of a Runeterran civil war, a war of runes perhaps, maybe a...Rune War?

Rune Magic afaik was retconned with the Institute (I mean, why would they leave magic that could destroy the world if tyhey took out the poeple making sure that magic didn't destroy the world) I think Taliyah probably has the same amount of focus Noxus did on Riven (which is none, they are assuming said person died and never actually confirmed it, but someone said they did so surely they did die!) As to Demaica/Avarosans, I find that unlikely. As much as Noxus is apparently still warring the North that means there's less Noxians actually... you know, manning the border, which means Demacia can keep gathering power and maybe eventually start a war where they have the advantage. If they ally the Avarosan, that will definitely get the Winter's Claw to ally with Noxus, which means Noxus sends even more people north and this time they are focusing purely on Avarosan, which basically means... I dunno, A Massacre?

I wouldn't say Azir is current day. Btw things appear to be seperated by times. While Azir did show up during hte Noxian Invasion of Ionia, it appears that Zed, Shen, and Jhin's reunion are occurring way after the invasion has taken place. That means there is a DEFINITE difference in timezones for them.

Then there's the fact that you have the Burning Tides event. We have them, and they are most likely after the invasion as well.

It is likely that the new story fits in near the end of the Noxian Invasion, since Yas is already outcast, which happened during the invasion.

Your point about the timeline is valid though, but we don't know when the first Freljord story occurs in relation to anything else. I'm going to assume it happened before/concurrent with the invasion, so that Tal can go there and fit into the next chapter of lore in that area. This also implies that Shurima happened around the same time as the invasion or slightly before (enough time for rumors to spread)
