A theory about Ashe's bow and Swains interaction

Since its hinted that the bow MIGHT not be the bow of Avarosa and I believe there is a simple explanation to it. When the watchers came Lissandra sacrificed her sisters and the Iceborn army. But she wanted no one to know about what she had done. So she created a grave where Avarosa rests and created a bow identical to the original one. So it could add up to why she suddenly vanished and in the same time covering what she really did. And that would make sense with Swain and Ashe. She thinks its the bow of the legendary Avarosa because she found it there where she is "buried" but in reality its a copy of the original one.

Another interesting quote to take into consideration is one Taric has toward Ashe.

Taric : "That bow is of the stars, as is its mistress."

And from Lissandra's story we do know Serlyda tried to come into contact with the Targonians at one point.

Isn't that the only real explanation considering Lissandra knows the exact location of the body of her sisters?

From what I understand, Lissandra created her own myths and legends to cover up what she had done and now no one knows fact from fiction. I believe this is why Lissandra is so interested in Nunu. Nunu's mother knows songs of the things before her made up legends and she fears he might be able to find the real grave if he finishes the song.

That is very good! I didnt even think of that and now your explanation make a lot of sense! This is great but we wnot truly know until the next comic comes out then we can see the circumstances and if Ashe only thought it was Avarosas grave and claimed it to be without having any proof it was her grave.. Except I feel like just like Leblanc Lissandra is always up to something and always a few steps ahead so a fake grave wold be perfect explanation

But how can Lissandra create a replica of the bow, if the bow is, as Taric claims it is, of the stars?

Made a theory about this way back when Swain came out and WAAARGHbobo (writer on the Ashe comics, shows how long this has been in development) confirmed that I was onto something.

My theory was a little more out there as I suggested that the Watchers gave Ashe her bow to work for them in the same way they used Lissandra way before

I don't really think that anymore, but it's pretty much confirmed that Ashe is using some form of trickery to appeal to some Avarosan sentiment of faded glory in order to get them on her side.

In the comic, she is not (yet) ready to wield a weapon of true ice. Maybe she will be in a future issue, or that's a hint.
