Hey all i im really interested in what u lot think about swains motives. i wouldn't consider this a theory more of a couple shots in the dark or shots in the void ;).

what do u guys think swains over arching motives. i feel it might be far more then just domination. hear me out cos its somewhat of a long shot. what if swain knows whats coming, if he knows of the cataclysmic events soon to come what if the demon he controls told him everything that will come. could he know how threatening the void is after all he knows what the void is with phrases in game of Kassadin and some of the void monsters RekSai Velkoz Malzahar Khazix Chogath and knows how deadly they can be lets also not forget he could possible see into the far future. after he taunts Ekko over his limits of time control

What if hes looking for enough power to defeat the void. maybe hes after weapons that could be used to stop the void?

what u lot think im a mega lore junkie and love talking about stuff like this

If there's one thing Swain knows, it's to not let anyone know just how much he knows. [slayer-jinx-wink]

Swain's bio outright states that he knows about imminent threats: "Gathering knowledge as the demon did before him, Swain has foreseen far greater dangers lurking just beyond." It's why he seeks to unify Valoran (and beyond) and consolidate Noxus' power. He knows people are stronger together than divided. "The monsters of today will be the heroes of tomorrow."

There's two main threats to Runeterra right now: the Black Mist and the Void. Darkin and World Runes are dangerous, but not on the same level.

Swain knows who the Ruined King is, and he's aware that Mordekaiser wants the Immortal Bastion back. He knows about the Watchers and the Void, as well. He's preparing for them, but the question is just how much information he has.

Now, Swain commands from the front lines, marching against a coming darkness that only he can see—in glimpses gathered by shadowy ravens from the corpses all around him. In a swirl of sacrifice and secrets, the greatest secret of all is that the true enemy lies within.

He know's something is coming, given his powers I think he'd be pretty well informed about things.

Literally every corpse his ravens can find is a source of information for him

Every victim of vel'koz, soul lost to the black mist, individual slain by the darkin, and person silenced by the black rose

He knows all the major threats. But he also knows the other world leaders would not trust him and would likely refuse to unify with noxus on principle. So the solution is to unify by force, make noxus as strong as possible to insure it survives what comes
