Q & A

Who is Yunara's patron, and what role does he play in her story?

Yunara's patron is a mysterious Darken, introduced in the comic 'The Devoted Shrine Maiden.' Unlike other Darken, he does not seek world domination or chaos. He is portrayed as a distant and indifferent figure, initially rejecting Yunara's plea for help but later fighting alongside her after feeling guilty for his behavior. His character is defined by his attempt to avoid the madness that consumes other Darken, eventually isolating himself in the spirit realm.

What is the key difference between Yunara's patron and other Darken?

The key difference is that Yunara's patron does not embrace the cruel and violent nature typical of other Darken. While other Darken are known for their reckless slaughter and disregard for mortal life, Yunara's patron maintains a more noble and dignified stance, choosing to distance himself from the destructive behavior of his kin.

What happens to Yunara's patron at the end of their conflict?

At the end of the conflict, Yunara's patron confesses to Yunara that he is actually of the same race as their enemies. He apologizes to Yunara and chooses to isolate himself in the spirit realm, as he cannot overcome his nature and fears that if he remains, he will fall into madness like the other Darken.

Why does Yunara's patron isolate himself in the spirit realm?

Yunara's patron isolates himself in the spirit realm because he believes that, by doing so, he can avoid the same destructive tendencies that other Darken fell victim to. After revealing his true nature, he acknowledges that he has become an enemy to everyone and chooses seclusion as a way to preserve his sanity.

What is the significance of the glaive in relation to Yunara's patron?

The glaive is where Yunara's patron is eventually sealed. It is suggested that after his exile to the spirit realm, he becomes bound to the glaive, but the comic does not explicitly show him sealed in the weapon. This raises questions about how the sealing process occurred, whether he did it himself, or if someone else, such as Misha, used moon magic to bind him.

What are the speculations around the new Darken champion following Yunara?

The new Darken champion, who will follow Yunara, is speculated to have light bluish-gray skin, gold adornments, and shoulder armor with a floating built-in cape, based on concept art. The champion's role and lane are still uncertain, though many hope he will be a support champion. Some players suggest that his weapon could be aggressive, but similar to champions like Pyke, a support role is still a possibility.

What is the connection between Leblanc and Yunara's patron?

Leblanc had plans for Yunara's patron, specifically in the context of a masquerade ball in the 'Welcome to Noxus' cinematic. She had Katarina sent to kill him, as part of her larger plan. Swain was involved in this plot, with Vladimir playing a role in alerting Swain to the potential threat, showing that Leblanc's manipulations were tied to the Darken's involvement.

What can we expect from the third season of League's storyline?

The third season of League's storyline will focus on Demacia and introduce a new champion called the Rose Knight, who is confirmed to be a support champion. This season will delve into the reactions of Demacians now that mages have their own city, as seen in 'Mage Seeker.' The Rose Knight is likely to be a central figure in this storyline, with potential connections to other characters from Demacia like Jarvan IV and Zenzou.

Who is the 'Rose Knight' likely to be, and what powers could they have?

The 'Rose Knight' is expected to be a champion with a noble, disciplined aura, fitting the Demacian ideal of duty and responsibility. Powers may involve the manipulation of roses, each color having distinct effects. Red roses could inflict damage and sleep-like debuffs, dark roses could shred materials, and white roses might drain blood. Another possibility is that the Rose Knight will have flower-based melee abilities, similar to other champions like Fiora or Zenzou.

What new regions and characters are teased for the future of League of Legends lore?

Following Demacia, the next region teased for League of Legends is Freljord, with hints at a new champion from there. The potential champion could be a Freljordian officer, a fanatic follower of the Frostguard, or even a new demigod. This champion could play a role in ongoing conflicts in Freljord, as the region is steeped in battles and survival. There's also speculation about other Freljord characters, including connections to Volibear and his siblings.
