So... do all Darkins have double "a" on their names?

Kayn and Rhaast

With the new champion we are introduced to a new Darkin: Rhaast I immediately got hyped because he will be the second Darkin featured in the game (the first one being of course Aatrox) i noticed something though... his name has an "aa" just like "Aa"trox. Could this mean that all Darkins have double "a" on their names? Pure speculation. 3 Darkins left to go :D

What? It's the truth.

So theories about Varus or Brand being Darkins can exist?

Sharjo19 votes

They can. Probably won't be long before you won't need theories to know who is who.

The tease is real. You wound me, Sharjo.

Good, it's the thing that helps me deal with the fact I've seen this stuff in development for months and couldn't talk about it!

I feel like Darkin are either trapped or possess different weapons. And in turn try to corrupt the wielder. We have the Darkin Aatrox which represents the blade. We have the Darkin Rhaast which represents the Scythe. And I am willing to bet that Varus is partially corrupted by a Darkin which is in his bow.

All three are at various stages and some have been able to resist more then others. Aatrox appears to have completely taken over the host. Kayn seems to be at a midpoint where he is still struggling for control with Rhaast. And Varus seems to slowly be taken over by whatever Darkin has him.

I am hoping that along with changes to Aatrox and the New Champion we also get an update to Varus. I really hope he has a Darkin and that we can get a name. As well as a sweet update to the lore.

They're trapped. The darkin were imprisoned in those weapons a long time ago.

So this is just me brain storming here.......But there were six remaining right? So we have a Sword, Scythe, and possibly a Bow. So I am thinking that what is left is maybe a Hammer, some other kind of weapon.........and I would love to see a whip.

Sharjo5 votes

Five remaining according to Aatrox's bio.

HexaDecimel2 votes

Is that five including Aatrox?

Sharjo6 votes

Yes.

I'm not sure an umbrella term exists; the darkin just like wrecking shit. If anything I would have posited that the connection to death and war for Rhaast and Aatrox is more how they just like to go about destroying things in; Rhaast just liking to kill and wreck stuff while Aatrox likes to do so via the medium of large scale conflict and battle.

That's only my theory of course; as far as I know the darkin weren't made with the four horsemen in mind. Neat references are just that; neat.

You're missing out on a golden opportunity.

We could call them Daarkin.

No. Jax is Icathian, and that was (in my opinion) the coolest lore move they've done yet. Keep him that way.

I wonder how the current host for aatrox is, since darkin are technically just living sentient weapon.

Bob sounds like a nice name. Yes aatrox and bob.

i think Aatrox completely took over the host already.

all voids have 2 part names. It might be the darkin culture

I pronounce the aa in aatrox like a bacon and Rhaast like ghast(ly). Due to the different pronunciation, I have to disagree with your post.

I find it interesting the wording in his passive.

It looks like Darkin is a "thing", a substance and not a race.
