Swain's Prophecies - Taking a look again at Swain's Interactions

I was looking backwards for a time and realized something that may be intentional or not, but probably is. Swain's interactions, mostly soul gathering ones, hinted at things. And would you look at that, they are really explained to us. Whatever was teased has come. So from now, where can we get to? We may look at Swain's interactions and predict what content may come in the next year and years!

#What did we get, which was already vaguely teased by Swain?

• Fragment from Ashe: She claimed it was the Frost Queen's grave. They believed her...

While this information was shown to us as expected, we did get a series of Ashe comic. We've seen how she got the bow and how she became the Warmother. How she found the Frost Queen's grave.

• Fragment from Bilgewater: They fight the mist above the seas, never looking beneath.

I think this is about Pyke and the Swimming City. Pyke was the next champion after Kai'sa, so it only reinforces my guess!

• Fragment from Cassiopeia: Payment of her suffering in Shurima, a Black Rose.

Not much but Cass got a bio update about how she got involved with Black Rose and transformed into what she is now. Not we're looking for though, a bio update is too small.

• Fragment from Freljordian: They squabble as the winds howl and the wards fade.

I don't really remember why I added this one but I think it's because of the story "The Eye in the Abyss" and generally the Freljord story continuation we had. Didn't we had a Lissandra bio update with Nunu&Willump which focused on this particular subject? We had... That was the reason.

• Fragment from Galio: His secrets died with his sculptor...

It seems they didn't! Sylas has discovered how to use his powers the way he wants thanks to Lux, and thanks to the book Durand left behind. Though indeed we don't know how he came to be alive.

• Fragment from Garen: Ignorant of the very magic you carry into battle. How Demacian.

It was always a two way between if Garen was a mage or only that his equipment contained some magic, maybe even that petricide itself was magical. But this was shown in the comic and used by Sylas against him.

• Fragment from Kassadin: So he's heard the rumours, the girl who came back...

Obviously as guessed from that time, this is referring to the girl who totally is not Kassadin's daughter. She was the right next release after Swain and over all because how straight it was, it's basically a confirmation. But it was confirmed with Swain.

• Fragment from Riven: She held their hands as they died, hoping they would drag her with them.

Not much, like Cass one, but it did lead to the Confessions of a Broken Blade, one of the only consecutive stories that made a major progression in story.

• Taunt against Piltover: The truth beneath the gilding. Only war, can bring profit.

Now this a bit of a stretch but we know they've been working on Ixtal for a looooooong time. I think it was ThermalKitten herself who said they've been holding themselves back from revealing stuff about new region back in 2018 PAX Q&A. So I don't think it's impossible to assume it was about how Piltover claimed "war" to Ixtal for resources.

• Fragment from Warwick: She was closer than he realized.

Who are the champions Warwick is connected to?

• Fragment from Jinx: Faces... fading in the flames... It was all her fault.

What show are we getting next year? In what setting and with which champions? EXACTLY!

#All those happened as foretold by Swain, but what may we get next year?

• Fragment from Aurelion Sol: What is this about... siblings?

Even after 4 Targon releases this year, we didn't get much Targon info. This seems like a big deal and it'd be nice if we got some hints through bio updates... Stay strong my Targonian friends.

• Fragment from Camille: My-my, does your dear grandniece know what "C" has been up to?

Same with Warwick and Jinx fragments but I put it here because we don't know if Caitlyn or Camille will be in the show. We did see a picture of Caitlyn with her family in the teaser though.

• Fragment from Fiora: She spurned so many suitors... A wonder they did not see why.

All the Demacian content this year sadly skipped most of the Demacians. We are yet to see the reason of this interaction. I saw many people speculating it's because Fiora is interested in woman instead and it makes sense to me. But still, we won't know for sure until further notice.

• Fragment from Ionian: Magic spills from their land like blood from a wound.

What I'm interested here is the comparison. "Blood from a wound". It's pouring into our world without stop. Again, why? How? What happened in the first lands even before titans from the sky descended?

• Fragment from Kalista: The first oath, the one she made to him...

I was wondering where to put this because while this may of course refer to Ruined King... Can't it also refer to Ledros? We shall see, in the Ruined King game perhaps?

• Fragment from Katarina: He asked her to do what she could not. To kill me.

Two interpretations of this one. Either General Du Couteau asked Katarina to kill Swain, which was failed by "she" OR General Du Couteau asked Katarina to kill Swain, which Katarina failed. I am still in debt of the person that opened my eyes to the second interpretation, which I believe is the correct one. But one thing is for sure. Katarina's father wanted Swain dead. After supporting his coup, why? Maybe he decided to honor the coup to not get exposed but then again... why? He isn't even approached by the Black Rose. His own wife, Soreana, was trying to hide from him. They didn't even try. Where does General stand in this equation?

• Taunt against enemy Katarina:Do they know who killed your father? Or do they still blame me?

This hurts my heart. I STILL DON'T BELIEVE GENERAL IS DEAD AND IT'S CONFIRMED DIRECTLY IN A VOICE INTERACTION :( But if he is... How? Just questions and questions... But that's why this post is for. Half of the interactions have been hinting at things that happened or will happen soon(like Arcane).

• Fragment from Poppy: So many obsessed with the hero, tell me of the hammer.

Hammer of Orlon, founder of Demacia. Gave the hammer to his friend, Poppy and she marches on to honor his friends dying wish without looking to herself. But as Swain says... what is so special about the hammer? Who made it? Who gave it to Orlon?

• Fragment from Shadow Isles: A king remains in the mist, and another marches...

Back in the day we thought this was referring to Ruined King and Mordekaiser. But now? I have no idea besides it was retconned. Mordekaiser was still thought to be connected to Shadow Isles when they made Swain rework, it's my best guess. A lot of things changed while Mordekaiser was in development for rework.

• Fragment from Vastayan: Those born of magic rarely realize it's curse, until it is too late.

We have yet another Vastayan coming but there was Neeko at the end of 2018, Neeko. Was the cataclysm that came to their island because of this curse? Or is it something we can't even predict?

• Taunt against enemy Darius: It was only a matter of time Darius. Do what you must.

What will Swain do to make Darius change sides? We currently only saw him as respective and loyal to Swain.

• Taunt against ally Darius:Your trust may be misplaced old friend, but it is appreciated.

What are you planning Swain...

• Taunt against enemy Demacian:All roads lead to Noxus, but all visions, to Demacia...

There are world runes in the forests of Demacia, hidden by Ryze. There is of course Petricite which is a valuable asset. But why does his visions lead to Demacia? Is the secret to defeating the dark fate he fears can be prevented by something in Demacia?

• Taunt against enemy Urgot:Your message is your power. You have learned nothing.

There is another reason Swain sent Urgot to Zaun other than preventing him from interfering the coup. What? We still don't know.

These are the ones I found to be hinting at something/hinted and came true. Of course Swain has a lot more interactions than these. So, what y'all think? Which one of the future ones are gonna be eliminated by Riot next, or will they?
