https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/0/0d/Freljord_crest.png/revision/latest?cb=20161117021436 The Teaser of the new champion ornn And the little comments rioters let out , convinces me of just how important ornn is to the lore of the freljord. Now most( myself included) are convinced that the vgu of Nunu will be the one too update the lore of the freljord and that might still be the case but don't you think a champion as old as the freljord itself should herald its lore update. If I'm right and he does update freljordian lore then this is who I see is the most likely and unlikely to be included

Likely AsheLissandraSejuani: as the leaders of the major tribes at civil war, it would be insane not to include these three Anivia: the spirit of the freljord no doubt would be filled with tales of the region's past, And no doubt has a role to in its future Gragas: I want him included for the sheer purpose of having a comedic story in the mix

Unlikely Tryndamere OlafVolibear: although they all play key roles in the freljordian lore, their high priority in the vgu list makes me doubt their inclusion in the update TrundleBraum:they are as updated as can be but the former needs a short story while the later could use a more detailed bio Nunu: for the obvious reason that his vgu is very likely next year Udyr: his ties to the freljord are ambiguous at best as he also may have deep ties to ionia

And if I'm wrong and ornn is not the freljord lore update herald then I'm hoping for at least just a mini-lore update for the legends of the freljord Such as Anivia and Braum

Funnily enough, the first story sketch written for Ornn's ideation featured Gragas as the main POV character.

It was a drinking contest. The winner would be spoilers.

That's pretty dope to be a Freljordian legend - tale of a man who decided to outdrink a god. And he could not do it, just cause Gods cann't get drunk. This legend is also would likely be tied with some nature interesting thing, like earthquake or something like that.

He's not literally a god. And you shouldn't assume the gods of whatever mythology you have in mind have the same rules as Runeterra's gods/god like beings.

Yeah if Ornn brings us a freljord update,then it seems pretty likely for the 3 princesses to receive a lore update. I agree about Anivia also being a likely candidate,though I kinda doubt that Gragas will get one,simply because the universe page doesn't even treat him as a freljord champion anymore(Olaf seems more likely as a more comedic champion for the update)

Alternatively they might do one or two tribes for this update and then the others for the next one,but I think that is less likely to happen.

yep i'm hoping they'll update all except Volibear and specially Nunu because i'm hoping for a NUNU VGU next year. Trynda will not be update til 2020 so i'm hoping for a nice lore for him now.

Lastly, I also wish Gragas to be retcon as a Freljordian champ now considering Ornn has ties with him.

You know it wouldn't be such a stretch to make him sort of a wondering spirit of parties and reveling just like how they changed Janna I say this as a possible way to make him more of a legend or folk hero so as tie him with other freljord legends incase we only get a mini LU

Bacchus?

To a degree yes

No, Janna alike spirit is a boring concept. It's fine making him a mythical entity but he has to be involved in mortal affairs personally, his identity is being a rabble rouser afterall. If his interaction is just Janna alike by magic/prayers w/e then it's just changing already bad lore into another bad lore.

I meant less enigmatic spirit And more living urban legend like Braum

They should just keep him as a drunk dude.

I fully agree with you, but Riot already mentioned that Gragas is not spirit. Sadly. It would be extremly cool. And lot's of legends (like myths) and interesting lore tidbits would've come out.

But someday Gragas should def get this treatment

Speaking of Volibear how Rito didn't turn him and the Ursine into Vastayan? I mean in the short story of the vastayan there are in the freljord

GreenLore1 votes

They mentioned already that they have plans for Volibear and he is likely gonna be turned into a freljordan spirit,similar to Anivia.

Interesting. If that is the case, then 2 of the 3 main tribes in Freljord are supported by a major nature spirit of Freljord.

Sejuani her tribe has Volibear Ashe her tribe has Anivia

But that means that Lissandra is missing the support of a nature spirit. :O How unfair.

I expect Ornn to be neutral in this whole plot.

I feel like Riot needs to start bringing out actual Frozen Watchers or abandon the storyline because right now it's The Tribes + The Trolls + The Ursine + Anivia & Udyr. I'll assume Ornn is probably gonna side with them as well and you start to get the idea that Lissandra doesn't stand a chance. Oh, and the Yetis as well. Nunu & Willump would also presumably side with the Avarosa.

The only actual irrelevant champions in the Freljord are Gragas and Tryndamere (his relationship with Ashe doesn't seem to be cannon anymore ever since his lore update with the Aatrox release).

The Trolls are actually on Lissandras side. Trundle is their king and he is Lissandra's servant.

I don't think that they have to bring a Frozen Watcher, though. They can easily introduce other Freljord champions, which are siding with Lissandra just like Trundle. Some more "evil" Freljordians would be pretty cool, if you ask me.

In my opinion, the Watchers are LoL's version of ragnarok. There is the ghost with the horn warning if they return. And if they return, it might be the end for Freljord. Just because we have the story of them imprisoned there, does not mean that there has to be a Watcher able to flee.

I undrstand why peope want one and it is possible that Riot is really going this route and giving us a Watcher in the future. But it is not necessary for me.
