The mage update, Taric update and Targon all coming at the same time eh?

Perhaps they are all connected in some way?

Iirc, I think in Poppy's taunt, she mentions gems in Mt Targon, Taric gets rigid for gems. Me thinks Taric will be from Mt Targon (better than him being an alien from another planet).

Cass, Malz, Brand, Vel, Zyra and Vlad are in the mage update. That makes Brand is the only homeless one since everyone has been evicted from the IoW (from its retcon). So what if Brands new home is in Mt Targon? What if, instead of him being created from neuclear magic gone wild used in the Rune Wars (which then started a need to stop these catastropic wars and which then created the IoW and the League of Legends - which then again, is retconed) so what if is Brand is from Mt Targon. The Solari worship the Sun. The Sun being a happy little fireball in the sky, Brand is a fire elemental - what if Brand was summoned by the Solari to combat the vile Lunari heretics!? Or if the Solari summoned Brand in a desperate ritual but it went astray and now he purges both the Lunari and Solari in Divine Vengance for corrupting the ritual?

All just thoughts and mussings.

Well, technicallly, Brand has a home, a place called "Freljord", and he fits pretty well there, considering that he was imprisoned in ice and Lissandra is his enemy.

And by the way: Its the joke of Poppy, not the taunt.

I doubt the mage update is connected to any of the other 2,I mean didn't they say that Taric is probably going to be released in the first quarter of the year,while the mage update is supposed to come in the 2nd quarter.

I mean its not like riot can't work on multiple projects all at once,thats something that they do pretty much all the time.

Also brand might have no place where he currently lives,but he does come from the Freljord,as lokfar was retconned into a freljordian place.(Lissandra also has taunts for him implying that there is a connection).

Though I agree that there is a good chance for Taric to be a targonian now. Depending on what they want to do with Targon I could even imagine that Taric is a solari,considering that Taric wouldn't really fit as a member of the rakkor and that Leona is the only solari with actual sun-powers.

Sorry,but the mage update is going to be purely gameplay based.I mean,there were no lore connections to the Marksman or Juggernaut updates.It's safe to assume It's not Brand time for lore love yet. And we don't know when the Taric or Targon update is coming.

I think they should keep Taric as the Errand Knight he is.

Taric is the next Rework to be out. The mage update should be in late summer. But we don't know when the Mount Targon update is gonna' be.

So perhaps Taric could be put there, but i kinda don't think he will be. I mean he is more of an outcast from some sort of cave world, than a Solari/Lunari. Leona and Taric are a bit similar (both protectors for those who seek one), but they both have different characters which honestly don't really fit together. So i think Taric's story could be pretty similar as live just with a little more indepth to it (idk, maybe he wandered runeterra after he was summoned, till he arrived at demacia/mount targon/what place ever and became some sort of protector for the certain place). But hey, let's all just surprise us seeing that Taric isn't too far away from reveal.
