A Reference I caught on the Ezreal Biography!

Korios··27 votes·4,038 views

I just completed Vi,Cait and Ori and oh boy the stories were incredible! I couldn't find any additional points to these stories but Ezreal's biography may hints something about future Void Lore. Take this excerpt:

''The boy’s parents returned to Piltover periodically to sell whatever remarkable wares they’d acquired from afar. In his quest for increasingly rare and magical treasures to trade, Ezreal’s father was determined to discover the location of the lost tomb of the mage Ne’zuk, an ancient Shuriman whose head was crowned with twisted horns. The tomb was rumored to contain a magical gemstone that allowed the user to jump instantly from one place to another.''

We all know that the apostrophe in names in lore means that have Void origins eg: Cho'Gath, Kha'Zix And now we have Ne'Zuk hmm sounds Voidy but the information may indicates that this Ne'Zuk might have something related to Kassadin.Not convinced? Well what about ** twisted horns**,**gemstone **and jump instantly from one place to another?? Seems pretty Kassadin to me...Kassadin What do u guys think??

Taric This sounds like cause for a joint expedition. Let me grab our sleeping bag.

Are you suggesting that Kassadin may be an ancient king?

I'm not sure how I'd feel about that. From what I remember, the void are remnants of ancient war machines of a forgotten conflict based on this segment: The Void is a nightmarish dimension said to exist outside space and time, where terrifying living weapons were wrought to win an ancient and long-since ended war.

So if it's possible that Kassadin is a king from that time period who not only got sucked into the Void, but came out of it with his sanity and individuality in tact and now fights to close the mistake.

Interesting.

Was there anything to suggest that Ne'zuk was a king? He's called a mage.

Even better!

I think the tomb was of an emperor.

What is Kassadin was an ancient Shuriman King who ascended but something went right/wrong and he was fused with the void.

Melledoneus9 votes

Or perhaps Kassadin was the one who slayed Ne'zuk and took his nether gauntlet for himself, that would be a more epic story.

Cresmont1 votes

as a kassadin main, I would indeed love the idea that kassadin stole it, but then the ascended stone kind of like "infected" him which is why he has those traits as compared to human kassadin

PlanetWarwick1 votes

Yup Kassadin looked into the void before, and perhaps the alien urges inside of him caused that? And human greed too, maybe

Melledoneus1 votes

Maybe more like he was fighting the Void, and came across Ne'Zul's armo and weapon, which allowed him to turn the powers of the Void against itself, as Kassadin had withstood the madness that comes with it.

Zydron1 votes

It does mention Ne'Zuk had a second gauntlet. That fits Kassadin's weapon perfectly

XIII Vanitas1 votes

They're called "living weapons" for their destructiveness, not because they're literal weapons.

Helmight5 votes

Remember that, in the new canon, the names of the Voidborn are just what the Shurimans call them (e.g. Rek'Sai, "Queen of the Sai"). It's therefore not impossible to believe that Ne'Zuk has no relation to the Void, and that he was simply a Shuriman emperor.

Not saying you're outright wrong - in fact, I think it's probable that Ne'Zuk has a relationship to Kassadin - but just figured I'd make mention of that fact.

I believe that the apostrophe based names are Icathian (which I think was an empire in the general Shuriman area). Icathia almost always means Void influence. This might not be related to the Void, but I would be surprised if they decided to use a name like that and not bring in the Void.

Helmight1 votes

Might be the Icathian dialect in particular, but since the rest of Shurima uses the apostrophe'd names, I'd assume that it's just a Shuriman thing.

PlanetWarwick1 votes

Just wanted to say if you spell nezuk backwards it sounds like cousin So maybe he's a cousin or something

Ultîma1 votes

This is super interesting. Is the fall of Shurima (and the presence of void creatures in the desert) indicative of a conflict where Shurima waged war against the void itself? Is that why it fell?

Helmight1 votes

There's mention in the Shurima bios of a war waged between the Shuriman Empire and Icathia, with the final result being the destruction of Icathia. Losing the city doesn't seem to have stopped the Void from coming in though - it just looks like it slowed it down.

Shurima fell because of Azir's hubris and Xerath's machinations. Once the botched Ascension ritual killed the emperor and destroyed the capitol, the rest of Shurima fell into disarray and quickly ceased to be as an empire.

Ok, but what if Kassadin is Ezreal's father after discovering the tomb!

Kassadin : Ezreal, I am your father. Ezreal : NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo...

Actually. I have to disagree. Just because something has the apostrophe in its name doesn't mean it has to do with the Void. It means it has to do with Icathia. All void creatures follow the Icathian naming convention. Even Malzahar was originally Mal'Zahar (or Al'Zahar) before Riot removed the apostrophe. The tomb of Ne'Zuk is likely Icathian in nature.

Nice.

We might have have gotten a peek at some new Kassadin lore.

Chromatic Eagle1 votes

He jumped instantly presumably because of the gauntlets. Also I thought the horns were a part of some crown.

50000000000000001 votes

There was supposed to be another gauntlet, too. It's possible that Kassadin has the other one.

Oelyk1 votes

But it said it was excavated recently, so I doubt it.

Oelyk1 votes

Well... Ne'zuk was described with horns and kassadin fits it kinda with his POST-VOID form... the human skin has no such horns.

Cresmont1 votes

some guy said it earlier, but as a kassadin main, I like the idea of human kassadin killing said king/owner of the stone and then having the ascension "corrupt" him which is why he has those traits when described

GreenLore1 votes

...thats actually a pretty interesting theory.

Maybe he got lost in the void and when he returnd everyone thought already that he died,hence why his glove was already buried.

Off Meta Evan1 votes

its a neat idea but i like sticking to my head cannon of him being ionian, cause he says the phrase "balance among all else." and is about the balance of power. a lot of ionian champions are about balance and have the line "balance above all things." so that seems the most likely place to be his home for me.

PlanetWarwick1 votes

Well he's seen the void so perhaps he means balance between the world and the void and not balance of the earthly things

Off Meta Evan1 votes

por que los dos?

SolarisCorvus2 votes

No kassadin is shuriman. Due to shurima being right next to icathia. While ionia is an entire continent.

Unless kassadin did some ivern levels of travel based on alien urges.

Off Meta Evan1 votes

i think he just traveled, cause in the old lore wasn't he like a merchant/ adventurer?

SolarisCorvus1 votes

Hmm maybe.

Korios1 votes

Great Feedback Guys! Just to clear something:Im not saying that Ne'Zuk is Kassadin I just think they are propably related. In Kassadin's old Lore he was consumed by the Void, maybe now he is Consumed by the Gemstone (Icon for Kassadin's Passive) and got turned into the loved Purple Guy that is today!
