"...something might terribly happen, and i will be writing something about gragas" FORESHADOWING

[@VittorGuidoni]

Explain please

[@sweetfunnycake2100]

Noxus can't just leave Riven alone, the girl just wants to live a peaceful exile in Ionia.

[@dewaunwarren1]

They know better than to let Riven farm. They had to get her while they still could.

[@galio7741]

While live in exile in Ionia, when you can have true freedom and power in Noxus? Noxus is the best place to live.

[@ermanciva7545]

Well if you stole a nuke do you think goverment would let you go.

[@woolf2796]

@@galio7741 freedom in Noxus? I think you're confused. Noxus are Tyrants how could Riven have freedom there? She's better left alone in Ionia, there she could do what she wants and she's free from orders.

[@jakbar_vano7139]

The design of Lady Henrietta and all the drakehounds are amazing. LoR seems more like a storybook for me.

[@johnd3421]

Kinda cool the sisterhood story was also a setup for LOR Cards.

[@antonisnicolaou9212]

well the opposite happened really, many stories from this year and last year where inspired by LoR because it was in the works, so they had the concept of the cards ready so they also expanded the universe before LoR was released. Examples, are the Trundle ,Lulu, Ledros stories and many others. Also Sylas as a champion was inspired by the mageseekers, who where made as Lux followers in LoR. But Riot didn't wait for LoR to be launched, they just made those stories along the production of LoR

[@throstlewanion]

You should've mentioned how when noxkraya arena is played, Riven whispers "Awaken..."

[@dawidkrolikiewicz6605]

10:45

[@Saphirai_]

@@dawidkrolikiewicz6605 yes Necrit said that that's not where she got taken to but the card interactions hints to the fact that she got taken to the arena

Breaking news: the fourth darking is trapped inside gragas's barrel

[@pepperspray7177]

What?????

[@pabloramos1022]

Devilishly good booze.... Hmmmmmmmmm

[@carolineribeiro9063]

And since the Darkin is inside the barrel, they're constantly drunk and can't use Gragas as a vessel or even communicate properly. Genius.

[@hairykraken3541]

8:46 several people were also confused on reddit. painting around your eyes is also a farmer technique to reduce brightness of the sun around your eyes. not a war technique although the name of the card suggest otherwise

[@tonypeppermint5329]

Maybe Riven is thinking of the events surrounding the fight differently in her head, likely getting away from the Hunters and getting the upper hand on them.

[@KeijiMaeda86]

Obviously she picked up playing American football and was getting ready for a game when she was rudely interrupted.

[@CalmNoises]

It's called survival skills, right? Survival as a farmer against the sun, maybe?

[@roren9224]

Yeah, some rioter said on twitter, (long time ago) that it was protection against the sun, just like you said

[@Geheimnis-c2e]

she also had the same black paint on her eyes during the cinematic so maybe they're going for the fact that she incorporated it into herself.

[@johnd3421]

Hope Shurima will be released, with Rammus as the next champ

[@starlightsilverwing]

ok

[@isaaclee2708]

Alright

[@hairykraken3541]

sry but there is very little chance rammus got in LoR, only champ with defined lore can be added and rammus doesnt have any

[@tomlacapra22]

12:16 Riot hate this man, Gragas color story is now on Universe

[@tomthelordofzaun8375]

Whos here because Gragas got a brand new story? EDIT: I think RIOT is trolling him at this point.

[@m1k34l3]

"He SIMP-ly did everything" fitting word.

[@dimyxer5913]

The fact that riot released a color story for Gragas came out today has gotten me dying of laughter, like that timing is PERFECT

[@dinodude722]

"Something between a lizard and a bird" i mean... that literally describes dinosaurs so...

[@nazzarenococchiaro]

I don't get which one is the canonical art of the scene: the one on universe in the red fields or the one in lor where she is carrying some hay

[@tonypeppermint5329]

I would lean to the Red Fields. It's likely that Riven is remembering the fight differently.

[@xPrincexCarlox]

Why not both. It can be in the same place...

[@KeijiMaeda86]

Both. This is just artist choice.

[@matpl2713]

I don't think this is the most important piece of lore, of which canonicity you can question, is it now?

[@carlosmiguelteixeiraott3643]

The 'bird thingies" from final fantasy are called chocobo's.

When the trailer came out, and i saw the cards. I already kinda knew what was going on because of Necrit. xD

[@xerathsembrace25]

Necrit, interesting fact, when you play riven in lor and put down the noxian lamdmark (the arena you said where riven did not fight in awaken) she reacts with the followings: 1.awaken 2.i remember you

[@EinManU]

Riot just announced an mmo, this is not a drill, its happening, everybody stay calm, *STAY CALM!*

[@tonypeppermint5329]

In regards to Riven's appearance with the clothes she has, the bit of armor and the black paint around her eyes, it could be her thinking of the different ways the fight could of gone, possibly even including time to get ready for the fight.

[@hibikikuze2808]

Erath being the chaddest of chads by doing everything except fighting.

[@valfirst6436]

in the scorch earth spell (7:20) i think that background its freljord, you kinda can see snow in the trees

[@raistlinmajere1000]

This is nice how they are expanding the lore so much. The problem could be if the expand it on too many formats: short and long stories, a book, a serie (arcane), legends of runaterra, cinematics, song, etc. They need to update the runaterra Webpage to help mainly new people into the lore to have a sort of guide. A lot of people do not know about Necrit.

[@randomname8616]

I'm pretty sure the Noxkraya Arena is the same as the Reckoner Arena. Reckoner basically meaning gladiator, so similar to how the Colloseum was likely also interchangeably called the Gladiator Arena.

[@martinc9510]

9:08 is it me or are the lizard's legs not symmetrical at all ? Her right leg appears to have a whole extra bone and joint when compared to the left one. I can't unsee it.

[@dinosejdinovic4218]

It's just the way one is bent and other stretched fully. If they were in the same position they would be the same.

[@jakubbernad3794]

10:54 this entire segment sounds like some fucked up family gathering if I am being honest.

[@stepankebort9337]

Just to point out that there is a war strategy that is called scorched earth (in czech: strategie zpálené země, kdy země a její vojevůdci ničí své vlastní území namísto toho, aby je předali nepříteli.). Mostly used by Russians by napoleon's effort to conquest Russia. I think it's quite a clever way to combinate real world war strategy with an fantasy world one.

[@ceoofcope2045]

Hope that Nexus would get a small update releasing Kled, wouldn't it be much more interesting to have Kled have an infinite hp bar but gets dismounted by a certain cause or when he suffered too many attacks because of Skaarl being cowardly

[@elduderino7069]

Something between a Lizard and a Bird. Its simply the discription for Dinosaurs. It matches Lady Henrietta very well. She is the weird Runeterran Version of a Raptor or a little Tyrannosaurus.

[@penove9068]

Scorched Earth could show what Arrel is currently up to perhaps? I kinda forgot what happened to her, but maybe she still is in the Military?

[@Burned-outArsonist]

I thought Arrel should have wounds around her lips and neck... Arrel removed her own helm. Erath glimpsed wounds around her lips and neck. The tracker hacked and spat a gobbet of blood phlegm. She must have breathed it in, Erath realized.

I'm still salty that Erath, Marit, Tennef and Tifalanje didn't get named cards. Hell, Tifalanji really needed it.

[@KeijiMaeda86]

Named cards are reserved for epic(purple) rares, with very few exceptions like Senna(but i think that's her effect is directly related to a champion) . None of them are epic rarity. Maybe in the future. I mean Cithria has 4 cards and her epic unit card has her name.

[@teradul2480]

@@KeijiMaeda86 Cithria of Cloudfield is a common, and so are Tyari and Babbling Bjerg. Also, rares do have more names, but they don't need to ba a part of a champion, either. We never heard of Rahvun or Uzgar before they showed up, and Arrika and Rumul aren't tied to champions except by maybe being acquainted with them.
