Riot:Sion's family line

Ralanr··17 votes·1,490 views

Riot I want to ask you a few things about Sion, specifically his life before his history making death.

How did his friendship with Boram start? Given Boram's long lifespan, was Sion's family just deeply loyal to him or did Boram respect Sion as an individual?

Was he a noble or was he a commoner?

Did Sion have a family? Now obviously he had to of have a mother and father, but did he have siblings or a wife? If he had a wife, did he have children? And if he did have a family, how did they fair after his death? Is it possible that we have a Noxian champion who is one of his descendants? I personally think that Darius and Draven might be related to Sion, but could it be possible that Riven is his descendant?

And if not them, we still have Vladimir Talon Swain (it's a stretch, but he did die a long time ago) Leblanc (or at least one of her past title holders) Karthus (because he was originally from Noxus) Elise (same as Karthus, unless she gets a lore update that changes her origin).

And if none of that can be answered, then I only ask one thing: What was Sion's family name?

I'm not thinking on descendants too much, but what about ancestors?

Since Noxus is actually just Mordekaiser's old fort, is there any chance that Morde is Sion's Great-something-Grandfather?

Think about it. Mordekaiser (pre-death) was still a badass conquering emperor. I like to think of him as being along the lines of Genghis Khan - specifically in that there's a good chunk of the population (especially Noxian population) that could be related to him by way of his...virility.

Granted, then you could argue that most Noxian champions are descendants of Mordekaiser - which if you asked me would be neato.

The blood of Mordekaiser's legacy would be hard to scrub out from between the mortar and brickwork, who's to say it doesnt flow through the blood of the Immortal Bastion's current residents?

Sion and Mordekaiser are similar-ish personality wise too, especially in Morde's more recent lore. Though Sion is far and away the bloodthirstier one, especially with his resurrection.

Interesting, this could also mean that Mordekaiser's own blood could flow through Draven and Darius or Riven if they turned out to be related to Sion.

Though I wonder if Mordekaiser allowed any of his concubines to live after he was first killed.

I don't think Morde would've have concubines so much as raped and pillaged with an emphasis on the former, but that's just my take.

By the way (and I hate to derail this and please do say if you aren't interested) are you familiar with Pawns: Square One? It's a shortish fanfic written by me and VaynexVlad OTP that details Vladimir's life upon returning to Noxus. It's not tremendously relevant to Sion, but it has some character cameos from other Noxians and helps breathe some life into the city and how it functions, to a degree.

I cannot say I am familiar with it. Sorry.

Edit: but it doesn't mean I am uninterested.

Ah, would you like a link?

Sure. I'll read it eventually.

Be warned; it's a wee bit squicky at certain moments. It paints Vladimir as quite...well not depraved but you'll see what I mean.

Damn what a dick Vlad is. Killing the Nephew of Darius! Sucks to be that guy,

Over Innsmouth1 votes

The who?

And yeah, Vlad isnt meant to be portrayed as nice. Sympathetic perhaps given his background, but certainly not nice.

I added the symbol censor to hide the spoiler.

It's actually canon that he murdered two kids his age when he was a teen. That, coupled with him and Darius listed as rivals in the wiki/canon makes it a possibility.

EDIT: I thought people would be outraged more at the ch3 murder, and then how he was a massive bitch in ch4.

Ralanr1 votes

Hmm. Interesting. I applaud you on your level of description in the scene.

And it's interesting to see Darius have illegitimate children.

Over Innsmouth4 votes

Draven's the one with illegitimate children. The kid in our backstory for Vlad was Darius's nephew.

Ralanr1 votes

Ahh. I must have misread that.

That makes mountains of more sense.

Yeah Don't fuck with Darius's Family. Lord have mercy on the fucker that tries to get funny with any of Darius children if he ever have some.

Blood Magicks1 votes

Did you mean Draven? He strikes me as one who would like to spread the glory of his genetics as far as possible. Darius is somewhat more disciplined and professional, he could even be married without it being OOC.

EDIT Just saw Untitled replied, nevermind.

Shit when or if Riot is matching a Shadow Ilse vs Noxus event, It would be insane and that would be the best time to release a champion that is the descendant of Morde.

I personally hold that Darius and Draven are probable descendants. Darius and Sion have a lot of similarities to just both be noxian

A while ago someone posted a pretty decent Sion fanfic where he had a pregnant wife (whom he subsequently widowed).

In any case, as to whether Sion was a noble/commoner... I think it's kind of beside the point. Old Noxus was almost certainly a hardcore meritocracy, and Sion got to where he was by being the best. His bloodline probably never really mattered.

That said, Riven as his descendant would be pretty interesting.

Ralanr5 votes

I remember you giving me an S+ for a certain line.

You are right though, who Sion was before he died wasn't important. I only asked that because I'm interested to see if he could be the ancestor of any of the Noxian champions. I feel it would be an interesting dynamic, a lost legacy.

Oh wow... that was you, huh? Small fucking world, ahahahaha~.

Yeah.

That was sadly the only fanfic I've done that seemed to be well liked.

Riven Being Sion Great-granddaughter? That would explain the massive strength.
