Props to Shadow and Fortune on one of the most Obscure Callbacks in League.

The Journal of Justice: Volume 1, Issue 07

So, I was taking a look through old JoJ issues to confirm something for another topic when I came across this ad in an very early issue, #7. For those who don't know, the Journal of Justice was an old "newspaper" about Runeterra and the League that came out in Seasons 1 and 2.

##Myron's Dark Rum This rum is the trademark drink of Myron's Murderhole, one of the most famous and historic bars in all of Bilgewater. Dark in color with the aroma of woody molasses, this infamous spirit is a veritable staple of Bilgewater sailors on the high seas.

It's a throwaway bit in a sort of joke article where one of the writers talks about alcohol in Bilgewater.

Fast forward like, five years. Opening up Shadow And Fortune, in Chapter Two...

Miss Fortune patted her pouch of pistol shot.

"Every one’s been dipped in Myron's Dark," she said, loud enough for every one of her thirty-strong company to hear. "If the dead want a fight, we'll meet them with spirits of our own."

Damn, Dinopaws. You did some digging for that callback, and I like it. Even as a huge lore nerd, I didn't catch that until now.

EDIT: Bah, something screwed up the quote formatting. Sorry the post kind of looks like a mess now. ######SECRET EDIT: Secret Bioluminescence formatting fix. Good find, LordHippoman!

While making a list of things that could kill undead, I noticed this in SaF too.
I was kinda' confused.

Well, Bioluminescence fixed the formatting issue for me, as well as adding in those hyperlinks to the sources for both. Thanks!
