Upcoming Event Hope? Mount Targon/Iron Solari-based event

So Bilgewater: Burning Tides ended recently, and it got me to thinking..... So far there have been events for the Freljord champions, with the release of LissandraLissandra and the revamps/reworks/updates of many of the Freljord-aligned champions, and for Shurima with the release of AzirAzir and the changes to the lore for NasusNasus , RenektonRenekton , XerathXerath , and more.

My idea and hope for a possible upcoming event is something that involves Mount Targonitem 3097 , the home and general faction associated with LeonaLeona , DianaDiana , and PantheonPantheon , but really nobody else, in addition to being a mysterious zone of Runeterra that, thus far in my research, appears to be just a mountain home to a bunch of sun-worshiping warriors known as the Solari, who used to have either a second rival faction in the Lunari, or my theory, a covert operations branch of warriors who take their powers from the moon where the overt warriors take it from the sun.

Pros: -Expansion of the League of Legends universe -Revealing more about Mount Targon and both the Solari and Lunari -Possible opportunity for a new champion from that region -Open avenues for more ward skins, champion skins, and summoner icons with a sun/moon/warrior theme -Possibilities for elite skins, sales, and events to earn ward/champ skins and summoner icons -New featured game mode and/or map involving capturing one or several points in order to give dominance for either the Solari or Lunari, with special interactions/hidden easter eggs of the same vein

Cons: -This is solely my opinion and hope, and I am unsure how other players might receive such an event -Lots of hard work, but when has that stopped Riot before? -Possibly more cons that I'm not aware of

So there it is, it's out there. I pray someone from Riot notices. Leaving off, I just want to also state that LeonaLeona is my favorite champion and main, and I've been wanting something done with her and DianaDiana for a long time now other than "They're solar/lunar opposites for mysterious political reasons." and I sincerely hope and pray this post reaches the eyes and/or ears of Riot, and that they'll consider this seriously.

Praise the sun! ~Nargonill Keroon, Leona support main

I think the next event will likely be Demacia themed, to go with Poppy's VU. Or the Harrowing. October is coming up.

I would love a Targon event, though.

I could see an event where another Darkin champion could also be in this, although that would've occurred back when Solari wiped out Lunari tribe. Something like Ancient Targon share motifs from Aztec and Greeks. This Darkin would be known as "the Darkin Sun" and the appearance would be similar looking as Kotal Kahn from MKX and Necalli from SFV aesthetically, using the power of the sun that glows on his body like a tattoo and has dark-blue skin, unlike Aatrox who is red.

His primary role would be offensive lane support, that can take hits and using it for damage output. He could be manaless as well, His name could be "Pugnox" meaning "to fight" or "fond of fighting" in Latin while other Darkin name would be "Velox" meaning "swift" "quick" or "ready" in Latin.

In Valoran, he act as a deity for both Ancient Solari and Rakkor tribe, using them to battle against other tribes, including Lunari tribe.

Rakkor tribe might be inspired for his action and battle performance, that they harnessed themselves with golden relic weapons and armor, and even painted themselves in dark blue color (Myrmidon Pantheon skin).

As for Solari tribe when "Darkin Sun" disappeared one day, Solari tribe knew that their actions of wiping out other tribes was atrocious as it wasn't their nature of doing such a thing, so they hid the story of "The Sun", even declining of Lunari existence.

The "Darkin Sun" might have a role in Ancient Shuima as well, probably ascended many people into battle before Disc Sun was even invented.
