When Nami was first revealed, this was my assumed lore connection but with the intro of Bard i'm not so sure anymore. Bard can just as easily fit the role of providing a powerful artifact of a moonstone and taking away at equally powerful/mysterious abyssal pearl as his "lore" suggests is his function.
I think I prefer the Lunari version though as that is more grounded and the implications are greater. I'd be far more interested in what would the Lunari do with the pearl than what bard would do. Does messing with dark energies of the pearl lead to their downfall? Are the Lunari actually evil or have darker intent than simply being misunderstood as Diana believes? All much more interesting than a cosmic entity simply fulfilling its cosmic duties.
Of course Bard could be just as interesting but we know fuck all about him and Diana was here first so fuck that guy until riot gives me a reason to care.
