The current standing in Noxus (theory)

After reading the lore of all the Noxus champions I found that Noxus is a divided country. It seems that there are two groups fighting for power in Noxus. By fighting I don't mean with swords and magic but more political warfare. the first group is led by Jericho Swain and includes Vladimir , Sion,Urgot,Darius,Leblanc (probably) Draven (maybe). The reason I say maybe for Draven is because he really dosent care about who's in charge as long as he can show off. This group is slightly hostile towards eachother tho. Darius dislikes Vlad due to him seeing Vlad as a aristocrat standing in the way of his ideal of a true Noxus. Leblanc might not be helping Swain to be nice, but possibly to reach her own goal. Sion may also resent Swain for having him reanimated my proof is this. If a sion taunts a enemy Swain he says the following: "You are not my general" " I am not your pawn swain" "you are weak Swain! you are no leader.". Anyways the second group is led by General Du Couteau and includes Cassiopeia, Katarina, and Talon. It is highly possible that Swain and Leblanc had something to do with the generals disappearance which is probably why they dislike each other. im not saying that they wouldn't help each other in a fight against Demacians but I am saying that they wouldn't help each other at all in their home country of Noxus. While they all share a anti Demacian sentiment and a strength above all mentality they may not share the same views on how these ideals should be portrayed

Yup,there are pretty much those who form the new noxus led by swain and those who are in favor of the old noxus,which was led by Boram darkwill. (and well then there is riven who seems to dislike both).

Sion is currently under the control of Swain,he can't think clearly,which is why he obeys swain.But the real sion was actually a good friend of Boram darkwill and thus would most likely oppose swain.

I agree that there are two parties in Noxus, but I think they're sided on different lines.

Swain obviously leads one line, with the Black Rose (Vladimir, LeBlanc) at his side and soldiers like Darius and maybe Draven. I actually think Cassiopeia would be on his side as well, since her bid with Shurima made her lay claims to power, power that Swaim obviously has. This side of Noxus is more dominating and more brutal. They just want to be on top and prove they are the rulers of the world.

The other side, the DeCoutaeu side, would have Katarina and Talon, as well as probably Riven. If General DeCoutaeu was added as a champion, which I would love, he would lead this side. I could see Darius defecting to this side, if he realized that what Swain is doing isn't honorable. And that's one thing this side would exemplify, that sort of romanticized view of honor in combat, similar to the Horde in World of Warcraft.

And then there's Sion. I think at the start, Sion would follow Swain. After all, he's been fooled into thinking that Swain is his old general, Darkwill. But once he comes to his senses and realizes what he is, which, according to his quotes, he's slowly doing, and realizes the dishonorable power that Swain possesses, he would side with the DeCoutaeu family.

Sion's more of a tool that Swain resurrected for him to use. The Sion who was once man would never follow Swain.

there is obvious infighting in Noxus and Noxus high command its how Noxus stays strong though idk about General Du Couteau's faction as The General From what i read seemed either at the top powers of Noxus High Command or just immensely loyal. or that's just how i percived it His house seems to Noxus as Garens house is to Demacia

LeBlanc and Swain are both part of the same Illuminati conspiracy Order of the Magic Conch Shell club.
