@Riot Lore team. About Shyvana's lore.

Shyvana's original lore had her as the daughter of a celestial dragon and a human, however it was rewritten because Rioters felt that Shyvana being the daughter of an all powerful celestial dragon was too much.

Fast-forward several years and we have Aurelion Sol enter League. So now we have a 100% pure celestial dragon, of which Shyvana's original lore was changed because she was 50% celestial dragon.

So I have two questions.

Question one. What made you guys feel it was now okay to have a celestial dragon in League and its lore?

Question two. Now that there is a full blood celestial dragon in the game, is there any thoughts in regards to Shyvana's lore?

I would love to hear from you!

(EDIT: I've been meaning to ask this since Aurelion Sol's release. Sorry for not getting around to it till now.)

Well Aurelion was definetly not planned when they released shyvana,so I doubt that the celestial dragons mentioned in shyvanas lore are the same thing as aurelion sol.

However I guess the lore change was done because Shyvana had pretty much nothing celestial about her. You would expect the descendant of a celestial being to be granted holy or space themed powers(depending on what kind of celestial stuff we are talking about),yet shyvana has pretty much just standard dragon-fire.

This I did not know. I like learning new things about my favorite dragon lady.

I think the main thing is that there is no League.

I was referring to the game.

Wait...she was half celestial?!

EmbertineJul 19, 20161 votes

In her original lore yes. Riot changed it to her being half terrestial dragon instead where she was saved by Jarvin IV. They changed it again because they felt that her being the damsel in distress didn't fit her well, and so made it so that she instead teamed up with Jarvin IV.

Apparently no one on Riot's lore team cares to answer anything about Shyvana's lore?

This kinda makes me sad T~T

It's not just Shyvana. They only come on the boards to accept congrats from people after they write their yearly story or to tell everyone "we can't talk about anything."
