So... What is the source of Fiddlesticks' resurrection exactly?

In Fiddlesticks' new lore, he is described as once having been a lonely farmer that was blamed for the famine on his village and was left to starve in his own barren field.

However.

The crows who came to feast on his corpse somehow managed to "resurrect" him for some unknown reason.

He then somehow became the scarecrow he is now, his entire body seemingly just replaced with the wooden sticks he uses as a pseudo skeleton now, and managed to get control over the crows (alternatively, the crows might be controlling him).

In the short story To Our End, his eyes are described to be glowing with green Wychfire. However, I cannot seem to find a definition to what Wychfire is.

So here is my question(s) for the day:

Who are these crows? How did they get the power to resurrect him? Could Swain perhaps be involved?

I would put Fiddle in the same category is many of the older champions like Malphite and Nocturne who riot haven't really settled on (or at least publicly settled on) what they want to do with their lore.

I would guess, however, that fiddle could possibly come from spending too much time with his life caught between the human world and the "spirit world" as a result of how close to death he was, much akin to how when you're dying kindred tends to come to visit you. It's also possible that carrion birds like ravens and crows are closely connected to the spirit world, as we've already seen ravens linked to Swain's lore when he was dying, and so when they feasted on him and his body and soul started to get screwy from being between the two worlds in such an unnatural way, it caused him to be corrupted by some form of murderous spirit akin to a primitive Evelynn.

Fiddle is in a purgatory right now where his Lore is effectively non canon. We gotta wait and see.

I think Pykes lore could give us some insights about this,as Pyke is also an undead who isn't connected to the shadow isles.
