What IS the lifespan of a yordle

Rustling Bush··8 votes·2,180 views

At first during poppy lore release people came conclusion that she doesn't exist in the current timeline because she was around during demacia founding, but in kled's case "They claim he's fought in every in every campaign ever waged my noxian legions", which would still put him in the present but make him about as old as noxus itself. i heard somewhere that yordles live as long as they have a purpose, i'm not sure how true that is but i guess it makes sense

poppy is still looking for the hero (herself) and kled is overly nationalistic

Maybe, they dont have a "Lifespan" at all, because they are something like "Timeless" according to Riot

{quoted}

Instead of 'immortal' think more along the lines of timeless.

So, maybe they dont die at all due age.

I guess the rules of time just apply differently to yordles, and so age for them means something different than humans or other creatures. Aging might be a result of something else in their lives, though they can be born and go grow as we can see with Gnar. What death means for a timeless being is anyone's guess though.

Now I'm wondering what the souls of yordles are like.

I'm inclined to believe that yordles have some connection to the spirit world and can sort of bypass physical restrictions of the world to get to where they want to go.

I think Yordles follow the "Steven Universe" Rule of agelessness. As long as they are or feel mentally young, they will stay young.

Which is immortality

Immortality implies being unkillable, where as timeless implies existing in such a way that time just doesn't apply to you. That doesn't make you immortal.

There are certain types of immortality. 1-cannot die of natural causes(age)-which is the only type we have in league.(Aatrox,Aurelion sol,Tahm kench) 2-cannot die from physical means(spirits usually)(Bard) 3-parasitic-a spirit basicly which transfers to another body once it is "killed"(I can say brand) 4.-regeneration-when harmed it attempts to regenerate itself,(Zac) 5-undead-revival zombie/ghost shit basicly as number 1(Sion,thresh,karthus,etc) 6-reliant-as long as certain object/concept exists(for example mordekaiser reliant on his bones)

I'm pretty sure "Timeless" means that time,does not affect the concept,in any way,and concept lives outside of time/reality/space/dimension.

But if you mean-the one and only,a concept that cannot be harmed/deleted/ended through death/mass manipulation/existence deletion/or any way,and will stay forever and ever,through every dimension,reality and space,then Omnipotence is the word for you. We do not have any champion outside of Teemo that is omnipotent,or even close to that in League

Immortality means the ability to not die easily from conventional means. It's different from invulnerability where you are don't take damage expect from the strongest of attack of conventional means. most of the time people think Immortality is invulnerability + Agelessness + protection from supernatural harm.

Right now, even i'm trying to figure it out. From what Riot hinted is that yordles outlive humans, unsure by how much.

But the lore of those hint that they lived for centuries... Which also makes little sense, and at the same time worrying.

I just wish that Riot would do a lore rework like they did with Shurima, because I really want to learn about yordles and hopefuly in proper order.

Immortality + Teemo = Satan
