Why Aurelian Sol is from Targon

This is going to be fairly quick "Aurelian" is the name of a ROMAN emporer known for his WAR TACTICS, the name can also loosely be translated into "golden" while the second part of his name "sol" can be loosely be translated to "sun." Henceforth, Aurelian Sol is "Golden Sun"

The roman origins from his name tie into the greek/roman themes of targon, the names Pantheon and Diana both being of this type. This being considered, his name thematically goes with Targon.

Next thing, the new thing about Targon is the idea it is "celestial." You want to know something cool? The basic type of dragon Ao Shin was originally based off of is called a Chinese CELESTIAL.

Next thing, Aurelian Sol translating loosely to "Golden Sun" can lead into the thought process that Aurelian is the sun that the Rakkor are protecting from extinction.

Where do dragons typically dwell in a fantasy settings? UNDER THE MOUNTAIN

You all are welcome. What ya think?

Well they better not use Ao Shin's model. It will be weird to have an Asian-Style dragon in a Greek/Roman-like setting.

You know that Mantheon's new Lore brings a lot of interesting things. "Pantheon" is a term that defines the place where are the temples of all the gods ("Pan"= all, whole and "theos"= gods, divinites) And now we know that Pantheon is an entity that claims the body of others in order to appear in the world.

Didn't they say in the page that Mount Targon has rumors of MULTIPLE aspects fighting each other, and that nobody dare question why?

Maybe Aurelion Sol himself is an aspect of the Solari. Perhaps fighting with the aspect of the Lunari (Haven't had time to read Diana's lore so I don't know all the details).

All of these celestial aspects manifest specifically on Targon because it's the highest peak in Runeterra. It's the one place on the planet that's closest to the celestial plane, AKA outer space.
