  1. How did Vladimir and the rest of the warhost manage to kill a Darkin?

  2. Is Vladimir's Crimson Circle related to the Crimson Elite?

  3. What was Vladimir doing in the Blessed Isles?

  4. Could the nature spirit mentioned be Maokai?

  5. Does Zed's Order of Shadows know of Nocturne?

  6. Could Veigar perhaps redeem himself and become a hero?

Feel free to give your own answers down below as to what you think.

  1. How did Vladimir and the rest of the warhost manage to kill a Darkin?

The same way any group of mortals can overthrow a god being. Relentless assault, a high body count, and clever backstabbing. If his Darkin master assumed Vladimir was on his side the entire time, it would have been easy for Vlad to kill him on the battlefield, especially since he had been trained in the use of blood magics that could have allowed him some manner of control over the Darkin.

  1. Is Vladimir's Crimson Circle related to the Crimson Elite?

I would say no. I think the Crimson Elite are more like an imperial royal guard skin line, similar to Emperor Palpatine's red clothed personal guards. I don't think there's a connection.

  1. What was Vladimir doing in the Blessed Isles?

Mordekaiser's head had to get there somehow. He conspired with LeBlanc when she met him while he was playing god during Mordekaiser's reign. Given that he is now known to have been to the Blessed Isles, and during a time before their corruption, it makes perfect sense that after he and LeBlanc defeated Mordekaiser and stole his head, Vlad was one of the party that took the head to the Isles for the monks to dispose of.

  1. Could the nature spirit mentioned be Maokai?

I think that's pretty obvious.

  1. Does Zed's Order of Shadows know of Nocturne?

I mean, he's a demon, so it depends on how invested in local monsters the Order of Shadows is. Given that Nocturne tends to be active around Demacia, I doubt they really care about him if they are aware of his existence.

  1. Could Veigar perhaps redeem himself and become a hero?

He could. But does he want to?

  1. I'm sure you will find the answer to this one if you revisit the darkin lore update... there's even a nice picture :^)

  2. Not that I know of.

  3. Having a good time, adventuring, probably.

  4. Ask Graham.

As for 3, I speculated this in another thread, but it's possible that Vladimir was the one who brought Morde's skull to the Isles.

2.The crimson elite is possibly non canon at this point and just a skinline.
