kayle and morgana are the remaining darkin

My idea about their future story is a continuation of the attached video, feel free to watch to get up to speed on the current darkin and wells

[tldw darkin were trapped in wells, raast(noxus), varus(ionia), aatrox (freljord likely), two other wells exist, one in shurima and one in the shadow isles]

**Why would kayle and morg be vgu'd into darkin? ** 1: they have two options, one being targon, the other being darkin. Targon is already quite full and kayle really wouldnt fit anywhere 2: the darkin have room for two more including a figure as the golden queen (more on that below).

How? Kayle and morgana could be made the support and mid respectively. Morgana could have been freed from her dark bindings (pun intended) during the events of the ruined king. Kayle having chosen to work with the Runeterrans may have been spared from being forced into the Shuriman well which explains why it wasn't corrupted.

But their weapons? (morgana doesnt even have one): Kayle and Morgana could wield life and death (magic) as their weapons if riot chooses not to give them physical weapons. This would also help to explain how the shadow isles are corrupted by magic embodying death itself and how the shuriman well restores life without any visible corruption (theyd both have to have been sealed in their own magic as the male darkin were in their own weapons).

The golden queen and why i chose kayle as the supp instead of morgana: Kayle visually fits as the golden queen but why would she fit as the support even though morgana is more often the support 1: [minor] morgana is a viable mid, kayle is not. Kayle is however a viable support. I expect vgu's to confirm kayle support while doing little to effect morganas viability in either role. If you dont like this idea then you should at least be able to agree that the remaining two darkin need technically not bee a supp and mid which precludes any argument over this point anyways 2: [major] The queen may have had to work in the background behind even the perview of her own kind (the 4 other darkin) to carryout her plan which seems to have been to convince the runeterrans to save the strongest of her kind for future battles perhaps sincerely believing that they would be needed to destroy the void in the distant future or as a deception, knowing that her kind would be saved from total extinction and would one day break free/be released. Actions that go unseen for the betterment of the team are a hallmark of supports which is why kayle as the support would be the better choice imo.

But didnt the golden queen die after sealing the last darkin and closing the darkin bridge? Isn't that what someone whose entire plan hinged on their race being forgotten through time would want short lived mortals to think? 😉

We'll have to see. The darkin lore that should be coming with Aatrox's update may elucidate things.

I dont buy it. My self theory is that those 2 angels are a former blessed isles residents. The fleed before the corruption happened because they are task to do something, maybe stopping people from using runes because its creating great catastrophes. Meaning those 2 are the solely survivors of their race and they're very close as sisters. In their journey, they clearly met many people including rune warriors or hunters. They stop them eventually and getting their runes so that their runes wouldn't cause mischiefs ever again. While getting the runes, morgana was the one holding those runes. The 2 didn't know that runes cause people to be crazy like brand(or maybe veigar). So each day morgana felt very destroyed and evily until she rebelled against kayle and eventually making them enemies. Each day they forgot their purpose and was replaced by fighthing each other. They cause the birth of targon or that tallest mountain, the snow in freljord(ornns story is just a myth sorry), the first rune wars,etc. Kayle and morgana are gray characters also, kayle just wants to bring her sister back but justifying her actions. On the other hand morg just wants her sister to understand her and the one thats causing her to be crazy is the runes. Now both of them misunderstand each other. Morgana thoughts that kayle is gonna kill her because shes just wants to and will get the runes by herself cause the runes imply her that kayle will do that while kayle thoughts that morgana is causing mischiefs and the only thing that would stop this is by killing her. At the end of rune wars, kayle defeated morgana but didn't killed her cause she still loves her, heavly sealed her in a well, now the immortal bastion, asleep but will come again to rise and cause mischief. Morgana also gained followers like leblanc. Thats why leblanc collects relics so that those relics could revive morgana. After sealing morgana, kayle blessed a place were she could rest and protect the people of runetera but her power was not that too powerful so is size is just the size of a country. She sealed herself in an angel statue that will slumber her until morgana will rise again. But before sealing herself, she drop her diary journal were it consist her virtues, beliefs, strong justice and her story. The place causes anti-magic which was hidden from plain sight too until the people from the 2nd runes wars found the magical place. The found kayles diary and made a religion out of it. And they now called the place demacia.

Well, it's a nice question. Wondering what would be their new background would be interesting on the current set up of things. Taking a look at what they are give us some hints at what they could be. Personaly, I'd say the most likely to happen would be that they are actually Vastayan. They have wings and they are very close to magic and stuff. They could be then assimilated to one of the branch.

They could be part of the Lhotlan, like Xayah and Rakan or they could be part of the tribes of the sky.

Kayle and Morgana are kinda human looking and it would be very difficult to transform them into Darkins.

Take a look at Darkins. What are they ? They're also not from Runeterra, like Kayle and Morgana, but they are kinda monster/alien like. It'd be a tough bet and a surprising change to transform them into the likes of Darkins. They'd have to reconsider a lot of aspects in their designs. I mean, the whole batch of skins and stuff. It's very hard actually. So, the safe bet, if they were to be added to some existing faction, would be Vastayan people.

We really need the last 2 Darkin already, i care about that more than any other lore part at this point and since they said this year their lore will be explored more then its the best chance to get the remaining darkin

They cant be, simply because when riot said that there are only "5 darkins left" they also said that "we know 3 of them", since one of them was aatrox and the other one varus, then Morgana and Kayle cant be, because it would mean that we knew 4 of them. Also, Varus has ONE sister, not 2 of them... and Morgana and Kayle being sisters is an important part of the lore.

making kayle and morg darkin is lazy. making varus a darkin was lazy enough.

Honestly I wouldnt mind Morgana, but Kayle doesnt seem like the Darkin type.

olliminati3/30/2018, 9:03:12 AM1 votes

Tbh, Kayle and Morgana could've been one entity at one point. Who knows what they did with some Darkin prisoners, maybe experimenting. Maybe they tinkered with one, for example, Varus's sister. Trying to infuse light into her and in the process her darkin body was not able to contain the light, shattering her into two.

Then there are Viktor's experiments. Who says that there are no other instances of such experiments with blood magic, with the help of runes and so on so forth.

What these sisters perceive to be their history, could be a brainwashed lie.

I actually brought this up as a possibility myself awhile back, back when Aatrox was the only Darkin. But I don’t think Riot is going to go that route especially after the recently released Darkin stuff.

I have a sneaky suspicion it’s more likely they’ll get tied into Targon in some way. If they’re not their own thing entirely. We have demons in the world, makes sense to have some opposing force.
