There are some few points that aren't really clear, even after the lore changes. Are Hecarim ,Thresh , Karthus , Kalista, Evelynn Yorick ,bound to Mordekaiser 's will since he is controlling the mist or do they have their own objectives? What I understood from the Lores is that Mordekaiser is trying to rebuild his strenght to start a conquest in noxus capital (in his own bastion). but since nothing were added in game, we have no specific interaction between these champions! In the twisted treeline map, we have for example the west altar saying:

"Mordekaiser is not to be trusted ,Hecarim" -> I think it would be nice to developp how Mordekaiser met the other inhabitants of the shadow isles. Is serving the shadow isles serving the black Mist? in this case,they serve Mordekaiser.

-"Mordekaiser, are you also a prisoner" I don't know what interpretation I could give. Back ini the days before the new lore, I was thinking that Mordekaiser was a sort of king,betrayed and bound by some magic and he lives to avenge himself and uses pain to stay "alive". Maybe now he is a prisoner because he is worried about the safety of his bones...?

Same reflexion about thresh and Karthus (not about pentakill lol), it would be nice to get more details about their meeting.

Concerning Kalista,it's kinda hard,it's a spirit that want to get revenge,but it doesn't mean the she's not working with/for Mordekaiser,since he control the black mist.

If anyone(riot staff or else) have an official source to answer these questions,you're welcome!

PS: -i don't consider Elise as being in the same team,she's not an undead and only worship a giant spider) - I'm waiting for Evelynn and Yorick new lore.I hope it'll give more data on it!

mordekaiser doesnt control the black mist, the black mist was caused by the ruined king after he trie bringing his wife back to life and she came back as a maggot ridden corps he used all his magical powers strengthened by the magical artifacts around him making the black mist killing everyone so they would be alive for ever. and as for mordekaiser's remains they were entombed deep underground with magical wards thrown up around it so his necromancers could not revive him but when the ruined king destroyed everything it caused the tomb to crack open basicall making mordekaisers bones give off a hoaming signal so he could be revived again.

yes but Mordekaiser isn't bound to the black Mist (unless the others) and uses its power to strenghten himself .And since he carved his own empire in the shadow Isles,I'd like to know how other spirits reacted to his presence

Just because Mordekaiser is not afected by the Black Mist, it doesnt mean that he is the one that "control" the Black Mist... i guess that the Black Mist is something that cant be controled, because if it were, Biglewater would be in an ethernal Harrowing.

I guess, that Mordekaiser and the Ruined King were "used" by something that is above them in order to create the Black Mist. A... GOD mabye?

After all... What is a king to a god?

... And by "god" i mean, the ugly spider god that you are not considering in the same team and took my job.

Or maybe it's just a natural phenomenom,only provoked by some combination of magic (which is natural in this world :p) but mordekaiser somehow is unafected by it

well mordekaiser isnt a native to the shadow isles and wasnt cursed like everyone else when the ruined king died, he also is technically just a spirit with a huge affinity to the magical arts, and i guess its something akin to resisting the affects of it which karthus's new lore he apparently embraced the mist and die to it willingly.

Indeed, he himself considers the SI spectres an inferior breed. None of them seems a mindless follower of the Isels anyway but I guess that since Mordekaiser has enough power to freely control the Mist he can force them to fight for him.

If we talk about power levels he might be right below Xerath,

The undead of the Shadow Isles are mostly empowered by the black mist, as it allows them to consume other lands and create more undead.

While they are allies, none of the other Shadow Isles champions directly serve Mordekaiser .

The SI Champs that are mostly independent on the black mist are good old Mordekaiser , Karthus (who both apparently manipulate the black mist) and Elise (whose power is derived from the Spider God).

Kalista is a sorta legion-spooky ghost girl, Hecarim willingly spreads the black mist, and Thresh is a collector of souls.

Evelynn and Yorick 's lores are pretty outdated, though we at least know yorick is a charon-like figure who ferries the dead to the shadow isles.

So, while Mordekaiser is a commanding presence, mostly due to his power and influence in life, he isn't really stated to control the other SI champions, though it's plausible he leads them.

I hope they'll release a story based on ONLY SI champions,(ie no mortal concerned)
