Gatekeeper galios interaction with Lucian : possibilities in lore

Xodiathe4bdn1··15 votes·2,702 views

"Hey glowsticks(Lucian) I hear you want your wife back. Trust me, you are not gonna recognize her." Now there are sooooooooooo many ways to interpret this interaction •just a side comment that should not be taken seriously •galios insight that sennas soul is now damaged beyond recognition But there was a connection in my mind that sounds so crazy it just might be plausible Now when sennas soul was taken by Thresh we hear nothing on what happened to her body Now either Lucian buried her body or left her body after his confrontation with Thresh But anyway we know that she died on the shadow isles and we know what happens to corpses on the isles So let's say for instance her body was left at a certain location that would effect it differently then your standard zombie reanimation. What if when she was resurrected her body absorbed whatever foul and dark energies of the area and the mist. Becoming something entirely unique and malevolent with no traces of the woman she once was. This ties nicely with the story of shadow isles and would add a whole new spin on One particular shadow isles champion

Now what character do we know nothing about Who originates from the isles yet little is known of her Who , if My theory is correct, would be a walking,slashing, sadistic bundle of irony and foil to Lucian • dark to his light • the clawed to his armed •the widowmaker to the widower Yep http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/a/a2/Evelynn_OriginalSkin.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160413184544 Now I'm sure there is a lot against me to this theory like •her names not senna: then come on how many evil turns went under different names Or Galio could just be talking about her soul; but had he said "I hear you Want your wife's SOUL back then I would dismiss this wild theory

But if I'm right then would give a mind boggling twist to Lucians story filled with foils, dramatic ironies and and add a fitting and sympathetic back story for Evelynn as it would once again show : evil isn't born it is created it is made And since Evelynn is scheduled a vgu this year this is a possibility in her story They could take I'd just want Lucian to be a part of the demacia update just for hints of clarification to this theory wether it be far fetched or not

I could be thinking too much into this interaction But hey this is what popped into mind and I had to share it

There are many problems with this theory... the first one is that the skin is not canon and happens in an AU.

The second one is that Lucian already saw her wife during the Harrowing.

The third one is that Evelynn doesnt have any relation with Thresh as far as we know, in fact in the old lore she has a relation with TF.

The other problem is that she is more connected to Zaun instead of Demacia, Bilgewater or the Shadow Isles in her new lore.

Also, we have seen Senna, and her facial structure is way to different from Evelynn... but it could change with a VU.

And even if she were a zombie, Thresh would never let her soul go away... so, even if the corpse of Seena was the body of Evelynn, she wouldnt be Senna.

By the way, Senna was pregnant when she died, so, if Evelynn is the body of Seena... where is the zombie baby?

His login mentioned the event took his kindness and mercy.

And I recall his wife Senna being the serious one while he was the more laid back one of their partnership/marriage.

im aware but can you imagine a softer, happier and more gentle Lucian Heartseeker skin did nothing to take away my image of him in the least bit The smile( though edited ) still didnt give me a perception of a brighter Lucian

Yeah, it was mentioned by Thresh during the event of Harrowing in Bilgewater.

“My wife,” said Lucian, knowing he should not speak, that every word was a weapon the wraith would turn against him. Tears blurred his vision as grief washed away every preparation and every shred of logic. He lifted the silver locket from around his neck and snapped it open, needing the wraith to understand the depth of all he had lost.

Thresh grinned, his needle teeth glinting as he tapped the glass of the lantern with a yellowed nail.

“I remember her,” he said. “A vital soul. Not yet barren and cold. Ripe for torment. Hope for a new life. It bloomed in her, you know. Fresh, new, like a spring flower. All too easy to pluck and ruin those with dreams.”

Good counter arguments But....... Firstly well aware of the fact skins are part of au but you have to admit some comments are relevant to the current universe and may be teasing at plot points the world makers could touch on

Secondly Lucian saw his wife's SOUL during the harrowing My theory is based upon what happened to sennas body

Thirdly old lore is irrelevant for Evelyn now that she is getting a vgu so any relations now are non-canon and considering she is very mysterious with little direct relations to other champions then there is little plots to fix ( on a side would it be interesting to have Lucian rather than TW in her tango skin😁)

Fourthly she is whom as the one of the most skilled assassins in RUNETERRA with no affiliation to Zaun and during her short story has been known to make hits around RUNETERRA not just Zaun as it was just another contract for her

Fifthly that is the bloody point. Her body would have no soul, thus no memories , and thus would essentially become a new being when resurrected , this "not senna"

Lastly and part of fifthly : I admit that is when things get Effy but perhaps she due To her awareness and will I would call her more of a vampiric creature rather then a zombie cause who knows what sort of energies spiral around the isle as a fallout from the ruination and what other creatures are created As for the baby.......... one complication at a time

So youre saying Evelynn is Sennas possessed body? That is quite saddening really. Although one issue with this theory is it might be right, but at the same time how many bodies of women could be on the Shadow Isles for the Evelynn Ghost to possess? Also i'd be kinda sad if Eve was just another ghost.

And i personally quite enjoy the idea of Sennas body somewhat "cheating" on Lucian with TF, its kind of hilarious. That and if Eve HAD the tango skin with TF it would be WAY to obvious of a hint. (BTW since TF is still in Eves related champions on her universe page AND they have a skin I wouldnt be surprised if Evelynns VGU still talks bout TF. And would in fact be dissapoined if it didnt)

EDIT: I should also add to my first point while there are MANY bodies for Eve to possess in your theory, part of being a game is illogical delusions become logical, so you could say Eve is a champ BECAUSE shes Senna and not just any other character yadda yadda.

Xodiathe4bdn11 votes

No no no sorry I Meant to say that her body was animated with little to no memory of who she was and is driven by her darkest emotions uninhibited by morality or conscience The dark side of senna if you will or the anti-senna

Skorch1 votes

Without her soul itd be pretty hard for a body to animate at all. However as i said i would prefer Eve not being a ghost. I like it better your way, i just feel like its less likely.

Xodiathe4bdn11 votes

So'k I get it but in this game can we ever predict how the story goes [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Skorch1 votes

i think we can somewhat. By analyzing consistancies. However seeing as we know nothing of Eve we cant analyze anything so...

Xodiathe4bdn11 votes

Off to the wild speculations we go [slayer-jinx-wink] Though looking at the recent vgu of galio sometimes they can do a 180 on a champions personality and story while still retaining some previous aspects

Whatever they decide to do in her story i just want sexy deadly assassin to be part of the mix

Skorch1 votes

I really like her current splash too

Xodiathe4bdn11 votes

It shows all her aspects Lovely, deadly, predatory and sadistic

And Sexy :P

Fair points... however, there is another point about the theory that i would like to discuss... Do we really know that Senna died in the Shadow Isles? When this was mentioned? Because i cant remember that being stated in any part of the lore.

Because as far as i remember, going to the Shadow Isles is no easy task and it would make little sense for them to go there... and even less sense for Lucian to escape from that place alive, because no one has survived (unless you count Maokai).

Xodiathe4bdn11 votes

Touché Then this does put a major hole in my theory : whether or not she died on the shadow isles but it's not impossible for them to enter the isles. I would imagine they could have placed enchantments on them selves to resist the life sucking effects of the isles cause undead repellent guns would be redundant with out some protection on them selves

But I'm just grasping Wish I'd Have a world builders to fill in some of these holes in my theory 😜

The lore forsn't state specifically where they died, only that they were hunting beings from the Shadow Isles when Thresh killed Senna

Epicurus1 votes

And we know from Thresh's short story that Thresh can do his stuff in Valoran, even without a Harrowing. So I don't think Lucian or Senna have ever been to the Shadow Ises.

Chromatic Eagle1 votes

By the way, Senna was pregnant when she died, so, if Evelynn is the body of Seena... where is the zombie baby?

When was this a thing?

I will repeat my other post:

"Hope for a new life" doesn't mean she was pregnant. It could just mean she wanted to have a child eventually.

"Lucian could not allow himself to truly feel her loss, so he snapped the locket shut. He knew he should bury it in the sand of this cave beneath the cliffs, but could not put her memory below the earth as he had her body."

That's from the Shadow and Fortune story, Chapter 2. I don't know if he buried her body on the Shadow Isles, but the body was buried.

This is a really neat theory.

As for Evelynn's VGU, something like that may be a long shot. Riot has never done anything like that to my knowledge, but it could be done.

Although, I feel like there is a lot of different characters in the lore that could pop up at a later date. Illaoi did so, so it is possible.

This would be interesting.

Oleandervine2 votes

This is a creative fan theory. But it's looking really hard into a non-canon skin about things canon to the lore.
