A bit of a discrepancy I noticed...

Hey fellas.

So recently, Soraka got a lore update with an all new Biography as well as a new short story.

In that short story, Soraka conjured images of different figures from the stars, a young woman with pale hair, a woman with a face that burned bright as the sun, and a warrior with a spear, as seen below:

Whilst this is not outright stated, it can easily be assumed that the young woman with pale hair is Diana, her counterpart, Leona, and the warrior, Atreus, now a vessel for the Celestial Aspect of War, Pantheon.

However, there seems to be something off.

As seen in the image, the constellation of Pantheon that Soraka conjured was made up of 8 stars (from what I can tell).

However, in Pantheon's biography, it is said that the Warrior constellation (known as "the Pantheon" to the Rakkor) is only made up of 4 stars, with Atreus being named after one of them.

So if the Warrior constellation only has 4 stars, then why did Soraka's have 8?

She conjures images from the stars -- she's specifically not just pointing out constellations. The Pantheon is a constellation of four stars, and not in the shape of a warrior at all. This image (which I count ten stars in) is simply stars taking the form of the warrior himself, and not the same as the constellation.

Perhaps it's like Orion, where you can look at just the body of the warrior...

... Or you can count the weapons too...

That would make the body of the warrior 2 hands, 1 shoulder, and 1 head, with the other stars being "extras" to form the cape and spear.

10 stars there, the spear has 4 at the tip.

And if you remove the spear and his arms you have a single 4 star constellation of an armored man with a cape.

Alternative explanation: whoever drew the picture wasn't aware that Pantheon had only 4 stars in his constellation. I like to keep things simple.
