Ok RIOT now that Varus is a Darkin, with implying Irelia rework, she will be related to Darkin's?

So i see on the Varus Bio page is linked with 3 Darkins (Kayn might be able to overcome it so its 2 1/2) and the thing is that with current Irelia rework its going to be appointed as Darkin or her weapon will be possesed, since you know...

Her brother was never released as a champion and all the Darkin weapons have life of itself:

Aatrox blade is a living being Rhast power lives inside the Scythe Varus bow is fighting against 2 Ionian Hunters Irelia blades might be possesed? or she is a Darkin as well?

What buggers me on Varus new Bio is this:

> Soon after Aatrox’s fall, Varus was cornered by vastayan moon-stalkers and human mages in service of a golden-armored warrior queen.

Who is this Golden Armoured Queen? Why she has no name after making an alliance between Vastayan and Human?

> At the end of the Darkin War, the queen carried Varus’s bow to a land that would become known as Ionia. Her last act was to imprison the bow deep within a lightless cell sunk deep beneath a mountain temple overlooking the village of Pallas. There it remained, imprisoned by the natural magic of Ionia and the ritual ministrations of its guardians.

Now that the Darkin are regathering back, what does this implies that Irelia rework might imply that either she is fighting the weapon she carries or she is a Darkin in disguise? Is this some kind of major event to unveil? We might know after the next patch revealing possibly Irelia rework.

>How long Val and Kai can keep Varus fully at bay is anyone’s guess, but should this sadistic and egotistical darkin killer come to fully dominate his new body, it is certain he will seek to reunite with the survivors of his race in hopes of reducing Runeterra to an ashen wasteland.

So what are your theories? Warwick was TOTALLY rewritten, so why she won't be a exception.[sg-zephyr]

There was a theory that the two darkins will be a support and mid to make a 5 man darkin team. I'm hoping this is true and we get two new champs instead of getting two retconned champs

I think your theories are totally genius and make a lot of sense. Also maybe the golden armoured queen is Leona? If so how would that change the story-line?

This is awesome. I'm not too familiar with Irelia's lore, but this sounds awesome nonetheless. Though I do think that Rito is really not in a hurry to expand the Darkin storyline yet since it's so sought after. Kinda like how they're JUST releasing the second God Skin.

And IIRC, the Darkin showed Runeterrans how to use blood magic, so maybe that's why Irelia's blades have lifesteal?

I was watching some videos and they mentioned how all Darkin were sealed in wells. One of the Darkin that we don't know was supposedly sealed in the well that Sivir was revived in under Shurima. The other wells are in Ionia, the Shadow Isles, and Noxus. Varus from Ionia, Rhaast from Noxus, Varus's unknown sister from Shurima, another unknown Darkin from Shadow Isles, and Aatrox is from unknown. (Side note, Aatrox's passive is called Blood Well, which kinda adds to this). The only place I can think left for Aatrox is Freljord. It makes sense since that's where Tryndamere is from (Tryndamere and Aatrox storyline).

I'm just rambling, but hopefully this can become a discussion!

Yeah, would make a lot of sense if aatrox from Freljord.
