Vastaya in Noxus

So is Swain vastayan, or some how a descendant of the tribe? Maybe he transfused their blood with his own, thus granting him his 'bird-person' powers. Rakan special interactions However moving on from Swain Rakan mentions similar notions toward Udyr Raising similar questions about the Spirit guard, are they a bloodline of humans with vastayan blood, hence their "intunement" with nature and its spirits? Or is Rakan speaking metaphorically, what do you guys think?

Personally, I think that the answer being simply that they all just have remnants of vastyayn blood being the answers to these questions are boring which is why the Swain interaction caught my eye, because even if it still is linked to the blood, there is a chance for there to be more, maybe the purpose of the Ionian invaison was specifically to get this blood, maybe this is how Swain got his power could he be building an army? Or is he just one of the many diluted Vastyan bloodline descendants scattered across Runeterra? And how would this play a role in Swain's future lore for the 'anticipated Noxus event'.

Since we're on the topic: Alistar and Volibear won't be related to the Vastaya (imo) and there is a possibility MonkeyKing stays the same.

To me it would be a bad move for Riot to keep Wukong the same. He has hardly anything in his lore and it's mostly just Journey to the West references. Being Vastayan gives him a chance to have something that is unique to league and some decent character depth along with it. Even the stuff with Master Yi being his master is referencing Sun Wukong learning martial arts. They already missed out on stuff with Ryze possibly giving some kind of insight on the Rune stone that created Wukong. If he doesn't end up being Vastayan then they might as well just come out and say "Yep, he's the same Wukong from Journey to the West".

Hopefully we get an Ionian event that isn't only about the Vastaya. Wukong probably will be one, but is it unusual for a Vastaya to be trained in Wuju?

As for Udyr, I doubt that he has Vastayan blood - but if he has any children, they might. My guess is that Udyr is very familiar with the shape-shifting spirits that spawned the original Vastaya.

Wukong might be made into one, his creation is of magical means.
