Kayle, The Bringer of Light and Morgana, The Wielder of Darkness (WIP)

I'd like to share a few of my ideas for a complete overhaul of Kayle and her lore-mate, Morgana. Kayle, in my opinion needs a full VGU and a huge lore overhaul with her character having a lot of potential. With Morgana, I think that her abilities are completely fine and simple visual update and lore overhaul would be perfect.

          I'd like to expand upon the "Aspects of Targon" and have Kayle and Morgana transferred to the Aspect title. Aspects inhabit certain bodies and it is unusual to have multiple aspects walking Runeterra. The sibling rivalry is a core part of their lore and should definitely be kept. 

    Eons ago, there lived two sisters in the tribe of the Rufana, a mystic tribe famous throughout Runeterra for their healing spells blessed with the essence of light. The light was a not just a passing fascination for the Rufana, they worshiped it as a god. They learned to tame the light, bend it to their will and use it for healing and prosperity for Runeterra.  The head sage was regarded as the head of the tribe and respected as a chieftain. As the sun rose, sprinkling its gentle morning warmth on the tribesmen performing their daily rituals, infantile screams and yowls could be heard resounding from the sage's hut, the largest in the village. This day is the beginning of the twin aspects of Targon. Kayle, The Bringer of Light and Morgana, The Wielder of Darkness.

OK, this is what I have so far, it's just a WIP for right now. Thank you for reading it's just a WIP, if you have any feedback, positive or negative please leave it in the comments, I'll add a part 2 soon.

Morgana isn't about darkness though. She is about suffering and vengeance, and sharing her torment with others. Darkness is not part of her kit, nor theme.

These chosen few sought to unravel the secrets of the universe and had already expanded beyond their home planet. Many verses were composed about the day the Star Forger descended to a tiny world and announced his presence to the Targonians.

If you're theory crafting potential lore for Kayle and Morgana as Targonian Aspects, then this would be a better starting point (since this much is already canon) I'm assuming later on you'd talk about the role they played in Targon stealing AurelionSol's power for themselves to rule the celestial domain. Waiting until we see some Soraka lore could help (Riot said she'd get her's updated in the future, as her interactions with Warwick are no longer canon, though that could be as far away as whenever Pantheon is reworked) as she should have some details on how the celestial realm operates in Lol universe.

If you're writing a fanfic, so far so good I suppose, but if you're intentions really are more along the lines of theory crafting what they're new lore could be like, I wouldn't recommend doing a 'full' story, because it'd qualify as fanfic, which Rioters actually avoid reading, to avoid claims of 'stealing' ideas.
