With the up coming Shadow Isles lore coming up, will the Altar Spirits recieve new lore?

I feel like those two are crucial to the Shadow Isles lore. They alone show Two sides of the undead:

http://i.imgur.com/8qPGO.png West Altar, the lady, Shows she is affected just like the rest of them. But she retains a small portion of her memories. She goes from "They will share my torment" to "You must destroy us, all of us!" She is the better of the two.

http://i.imgur.com/JeOyw.png East Altar, the man, is clearly affected. His quotes alone lets us know that he embraces undeath. He barely remembers little if not any at all. "The Living must fall!"

But these two spirits also talk to the current shadow isle champs(except for thresh, Evelynn, Maokai, and Kalista) This is what make them so important. Apparently, they knew who mordekasier and Hecarim were before everything fell to ruin. West altar also is the one who confirmed that the isles themselves had/have a king. "For the king!"

If you guys(Narrative/ Foundation) are making new lore for the Shadow Isles, pls don't leave them out.

Agreed, I want to see more sides to the shadow isles besides, "UNDEAD DIE BLARGH JOIN US!" I think this is also reflected well in hecarim but we have no knowledge of him or almost any shadow isles champ for that matter.

The Shadow Isles is not touched upon like other places because Riot wants to keep everything a mystery for now. But here's my idea.

There was once a king who tried to bridge the gap between life and death so he could become its master. It worked, making everyone in the Shadow Isles undead if they survived the bridging. Unable to die for good, they had no purpose but to go to those with strong wills.

Mordekaiser and Hecarim command hordes of specters and undead. Yorick simply became the eternal grave digger before the Shadow Isles fell, and he didn't really care since he's living in his own torment. Evelynn is a creature of sorts, more of a demon than a lich or undead, and her purpose is unclear. She might just have this lust for hatred and pain. And what better place to find the two than the resting places of many souls?

Karthus Karthus is an interesting one. He was born amongst the living, but his desires and interests were with the mysteries of death. He heard of the Shadow Isles, a place where the bridge between life and death was closed. Without hesitation, he traveled from the living to the realm of the undead, becoming a lich with his knowledge of death and the arcane arts. His power was limited, he needed souls to fuel his power. Thus, he used his articulate speech and soothing voice to preach to the souls of the Shadow Isles to join him. He also preached to those lost in life, urging them that life was meaningless and death was a horizon for greater purpose. Soon he grew in power, becoming the Karthus we know today. However, he started enticing the idea of having followers to sing in unison with his Requiem. Thus, he continued preaching death to all, and even now he hears countless voices in unison.

Kalista is pretty self-explanatory. She was betrayed by someone in the Isles' court, perhaps the king himself. She might have been an advisor, a commander, or even a queen with battle prowess. Regardless, when she died, her soul became separated before the bridging, and thus her soul was simply infused with her armor. Without much else purpose and a burning hatred within her, she honors the cause of vengeance upon traitors, heeding the call of those who have been stabbed in the back.

Elise is one who doesn't need much explanation. She willing gave herself to Vilemaw, becoming his eternal servant in exchange for eternal youth and life. She also gained immense power from this exchange, and she uses her beauty to trap unwilling devotees to the spider within Vilemaw's web. She is a temptress and a charlatan, and is very separated from the rest of the Shadow Isles. In general, I suppose she came after the bridging.

I'm done. Feel free to tear my theory apart.

I wouldn't be so sure about this.It would be better if RIOT figures out what to do with Eve in regards of her story/current goal,before updating the SI's lore.

Not to mention Yorick. I'd like them to have the shadow isles champions in a good place before heading to their lore. Though a lore event could be how they announce it, like with Gangplank.

Who expected his rework?

Oh poor Yorick, the whole reason he joined the league was so that he would never be forgotten

I didn't know he was a champion until I had been playing for near 5 months.

Well, they gave her a short bio. That means her lore _may _ be in work as we speak

I'm hoping this year's shadow isles event takes place on the treeline with a lot more gameplay. I really miss playing my 3's games.

I'd like a new game mode for TT other than hexakill. Black market brawlers and Poro king was nice. How about a Shadow Isles one

Ariel the Cruel1 votes

New TT game mode: No death timers. Everyone respawns immediately. Both alters are captured and locked by the team on their respective side by default. Every time a champion dies, the other team gains a little influence over the other team's alter until it's captured. Nexus can only be destroyed while controlling the other team's alter.

I have a few hopes, but the alters are the biggest one. Also a update to Lucian's lore would be nice ( If Lucian gets alter quotes as well, that would be sensational ), a Eve Vu is a bit far fetched, but possible since it was scheduled a thousand years ago, but at least a lore update, since her's is a useful and informative as her in game play.

Idk what you could add to lucian with this group, i mean he is demacian

The Loveless3 votes

Technically he doesn't represent Demacia since he's a wandering demon hunter.

GenoXx2 votes

Well, He does. He got his guns from some group in Demacia. Ones that fought against evil around Valoran. So I'd say that if asked he would say demacia himself.

The profile on the right side says "Residence: Of no fixed abode"

GenoXx1 votes

That's the wiki. Someone did not ger their info straight. In is login, he states that he and senna were given those guns to hunt don evil.

Now no random strangers are going to juts give two guns that destroys evil things. They had to be part of a group. And a religious one at that...

Angelofchaos16x1 votes

Because like Loveless said, he hunt demons, Thresh to be more precise.

I mean, the lady of the West Altar could say to him "are you the one who has come to free this land?"

or the man of the East Altar could say "begone Purifier! You are not welcome!"

something to that effect

GenoXx1 votes

Well actually that could fit. However, something with lucian and thresh needs to manifest. Like "how's Senna doing thresh?"

Thresh: She's fine man, I feed her well. Ya know recently she's been reading alot.

Lucian:Really? So death isnt that bad then huh...

Thresh: Yeah thats why you should- -

Lucian: No seriously fuck you Ults

I'll never forget the right altar's man and walking on it as Mordekaiser and his referencing morde as his lord (obviously not the top tier person but high up likely the general of the shadow isles.) This would be a swell idea to build on that I would have forgotten do to not playing TT anymore.

Scrooch McSucc2 votes

Thresh needs special quotes from the altars when he captures them. I'm disappointed that he doesn't already.

Well the lady, i thought she was the lady of Kalista's lore. The lady had a husband and kids and someone murdered them except for that lady, she lived. She wanted to avenge the murderer so she called out for help. Kalista spawned... blah blah blah summoner 6

You know what i mean lol

Evelynn ?

Seeing how she got a short bio, I am expecting soem new lore for her.

Transgressor1 votes

Where'd you get solid info on the upcoming event?

PS. I'm imagining a Bildgewater level retcon to happen, but it doesn't make that much sense right after World's.

GenoXx1 votes

Because im lazy and don't want to find the thread, Jaredan recently stated that we're getting lore next month. And its Shadow Isles related. He also said it's going to be like Mf's and Gp's long bios. Evelynn was one of the group who got a shorten bio. So it means shes getting new lore.

Transgressor1 votes

Ooooh good stuff, good stuff indeed.

I don't play TT but I think they should give the altar spirits lore
