Arcane Fan Reacts to the Welcome to Noxus Trailer | League of Legends

[@_MrToast_]

The woman at the end was LeBlanc. She was the shadow like figure in Arcane, that appeared at few times. She is the leader of the Black Rose.

[@lepredator1789]

Red haired Assassin Katarina, spider lady is called Elise and part of the Black Rose - same as the last 2 people, Vladimir and LeBlanc, Gigachad with Axe is Darius, Noxian General that fights a northern campaign for Noxus during this time in the Story, Troll is called Trundle and basically the king of trolls, a race living in the northern parts of this universe

[@Slleide]

The guy with the axe is called Darius, in this time of period I believe he's a general of the Noxus military. He's fighting with Trundle, the king of the trolls, they live in Freljord, a heavy snowy place, and his mallet is of something called True Ice, wich only the "Ice Born" people are able to hold, and that is why Darius leaves his weapon when it got infected with true ice, and why is it kinda bad ass that he's able to use it again to knock out Trundle without diying. The red haired lady is Katarina, she's a very skilled assassin from someone very important that would be kinda a spoiler to know, so i'll leave as that. She start fighting Elise, the spider like woman when Elise protects Katarina's target. She is ... well ... different ... By some events, she is now part spider, she can transform herself into an actual very big spider too. The 2 on the end are Le Blanc and Vladmir, they both are the head of the Black Rose, the secret society that appears in piltover after Ambessa and then Mel. She is the shadow lady that talks with Mel (it is implied that even for those who are not familiar with the lore, by her voice, her talking about Piltover and the "arrow" like tattoo below her eyes) ... She is ... very powerful, and the Black Rose are like the iluminatts in Noxus, they manipulate a lot of events. Vladmir is a very powerfull wizard that learned some "dark" arts centuries ago and was invited by Le Blanc to create the Black Rose with her.

It's confirmed he wasn't a Grand General yet as he's younger on this cinematic, he's only a Commander of what is likely to be a regiment that would become the elite Trifarian Legion.

[@Waaaltz_]

and Trundle wasn't a King of Trolls yet, If I take a guess, he's currently trying to take over the other tribe.

[@firecat4529]

In case you want to know more about what is happening in this one, Necrit (who knows lots about LoL lore) made a video where he goes into the details and I can recommend it.

[@Lexu979]

Black Rose tries to stop the chaos , they try to keep Mordekaiser under Noxus , if that guy revive it will be mad for all of the people in Runeterra , that guy was too angry to die and he learned the dead language and absolutely destroyed everything , he founded Noxus and the capital "Immortal Bastion " . The guy fighting the troll king [ Trundle ] is named Darius ... hes like a symbol in Noxus , people doesnt realise but when he picked the frozen axe he literally touched the true ice ability, because Trundle is a iceborn and hes from Freljord . The girls fighting Katarina the red hair and Elise the spider who has a demon inside her .. shes more of a Black Rose oriented character and Katarina more of a Swain[ the Grand General of Noxus] character . In Noxus it doesn't matter the rank or if u are a normal or royalty... all it matter is to be STRONG AND MIGHTY .

[@Waaaltz_]

The Noxian dude is Darius, the Hand of Noxus, he was sent to Freljord by Boram Darkwill. He's younger here, and even before he joined the Trifarix Legion and became the Principle of Might. Only a handful of people can match his strength, and perhaps only 2 people are capable of actually matching him, the rest can barely hold their back against him. The Troll guy is Trundle, the weapon that he's holding is made out of True Ice, a really dangerous element, only an Iceborn is Immune to it. I'm guessing because he's much smaller in this Cinematic, this was when he's trying to take over the other tribe of Trolls to become the King of Trolls. Red Haired Girl is Katarina Du Couteau, she came from a high ranking family of Noxus, she studied the blade while she's young to become an Assassin, she was sent to the Black Rose Danse to assassinate someone from the Black Rose. The spider lady is Elise or Lady Elise , she used to be a human Mistress until she was turned into a Spider Lady by the Vile-Spider God called Vilemaw in the Shadow Isles. She's one of the Founder of the Black Rose. The lady at the End is LeBlanc, leader and founder of the Black Rose, she was responsible for many things that happened in Runeterra, including the rise of power of Swain and the downfall of the Noxus Emperor, Boram Darkwill. she's an ancient being older than Noxus, or should I say. Even before Noxus became a Noxus. The white haired guy is Vladimir, he's a blood mage, a hemomancer, you could say he's a "Vampire" but not really a vampire, he doesn't suck blood but requires sacrifice by inviting people to his home "party" he uses his magic to modify his body, also he's one of the Founder of the Black Rose, he was personally invited by LeBlanc herself in his home.

[@doragonsureia7288]

There is a KZbin channel called Necrit, who explains all the lore in this cinematic and also did other explanation videos specifically for Arcane fans

[@juhdiiias6051]

The queen is called Katarina, she's a baddass, and the woman at the end (With dark fingers) Is the one who contacted Mel at Arcane, at the series she was just a Shadow, cause her Character just manipulate, and almost never shows her true self

[@aPhatPhoenix]

Just so you not confused, this isn’t a trailer for a new arcane show. It may tease stuff that could be shown/used in a new show they are working on like the last minute of the cinematic was referencing, but this is a season cinematic for the game. Which the games season is Noxus/Black rose themed. It was created by the same animation studio that created arcane so that’s why it had the same feel as arcane. Arcane timeline was apart of the canon lore of Runeterra, and this is just referencing a continuation of that lore in a different nation away from piltover and zaun. That’s why Mel is there because she has a connection to Noxus and the Black rose but you won’t see characters like Vi or Caitlyn because it’s a different part of the planet of Runeterra.

[@JesusZeuDog]

Great note for context. Slight correction though, Arcane IS canon and so was this cinematic 😉

[@aPhatPhoenix]

@ as I stated in the original comment “Arcane is apart of the canon lore of Runeterra, and this referencing a continuation of that canon lore”

[@rexstylus]

I mean technically it is also a teaser of what to expect for the new Arcane Show (It's going to have a different title since we're moving on to a new region which is Noxus). The last bit of the trailer shows us Le Blanc whose been going after Embessa & Mel in Arcane.

[@aPhatPhoenix]

@@rexstylus as stated in original comment it may tease stuff what the next show will be about like the ending scene with Vladimir and Leblanc. but this isn’t an official trailer they put out to show us the exact show they are making. Just was clarifying bc she stated “This was a good trailer and hope it comes out soon”

[@gman7497]

​@aPhatPhoenix yeah the messaging from Riot could have been better, or just more info about what the status of the new show(s) are at this time, so people watch this with the right kind of expectation.

[@CanalTremocos]

A way to link this to Arcane: At the end of season 2 you see 6-eyed birds. Those birds hang around Swain, a Noxian ... politician. Dagger redhead also hangs out with Swain. Some weird creatures rose to the top of Noxian society and formed a ... club. Creatures like spider lady and the 2 at the end. They love Conspiracies. Ambessa hated those guys. Swain is not a fan either. The redhead with blue skin is a Freljordian leader. Axe guy is a Noxian general solving a battle through champion fight, something the trolls enjoy very much. We'll see how Mel fits into this.

[@sxzz3480]

THATS THE BLACK ROSE LADY IN THE END, THE GOLDEN LINES BELOW THE EYES SHOW EM I JUST REALISED

[@rexstylus]

I'm so excited for the new series because we'll get to see Darius (guy with an Axe) and meet his brother DRAAAAVEN!!!! Noxus series is going to give Game Of Thrones vibesssss and I'm here for it.

[@imtrash2812]

welcome Arcane fan to another region in vast of Runeterra

[@TheBroGamer14082]

NGL I thought that place was some kind of UN gathering place haha

[@rockerctereo2851]

Cuz for context when you pause maybe rewind back 3-4 seconds. A lot happens even in a second with these outrageous cinematic. Love the commentary Sis. Kia Kaha ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@granddaddyotaku636]

So the trailer is both a teaser for the new season of the game as well as a semi-teaser for where the next series is going too. We got some great stuff to look forward to 😎 I highly recommend you read the short comic called "Lux" It introduces a character named Luxanna Crownguard. She will be one of the main characters moving forward for animated series. She lives in Demacia, a nation at war with Noxus. Just something that i think will interest you and add a little more knowledge of some lore. Noxus, Demacia, and Ionia are all regions that will be covered in the next show/shows. So it'll be a good way for you to get a tint idea of what we might get into moving forward.. PLUS Lux and Jinx technically know each other in the game. There's even a ship between them, similar to Vi and Cait 😉😉😉 Ps. I think theres a webcomic for the "Lux" story if you want to just read it online 🙏

[@penguin50279]

9:02 no, they just work together

[@leolionheart5dk574]

Yup. We knew that they were doing Noxus as a way to get more heroes updated and a way to get Mel as the next new character in the game. The red head is Katarina, I believe. The last two characters in the video were Le Blanc, the woman and Sebastian, the blond guy.

[@DragonKing9500]

Last guy would have been Vladimir

[@masaichen6968]

5:50 who is this man? I tell one thing if this man lead army to plitover instead of ambessa they all dead

[@abdalakareka]

React to league of legends cinematic warriors - awaken - the call - still here

[@erdalgjelstad5491]

I see you like Mel and other Arcane characters but hear me out. Arcane is the worst place and you have seen nothing (yet) ;) Trust me you will FORGET jinx, mel and arcane when new series are out. They will continue with Noxus vs Demacia and then Ionia and from there Freljord to Void to Shurima and Targon. Not even mentioning Shadow Isles where Elise (spider girl) is from. Riot will do what Marvel couldn't keep and what DC failed to execute. GREAT STORY. We will watch all these amazing series and then when we are old we will play the MMO. Trust in Riot.

[@rexstylus]

We will not forget Mel because she's going to be the bridge between Arcane and the new series! also her story is not over yet. In the new series she's coming back home to Noxus to deal with the Black Rose people.

[@_MrToast_]

Nobody that watched Arcane, will forget any character. I hate when people say sh*t like ''Arcane had its fun, now let the grown ups play''. As if Arcane isnt one if not the greatest TV series of the last 10+ years. Why can we not just enjoy both. I'm sure Noxus will be epic, but Arcane was so great because of the emotional bond to the characters. It is not all about action.

[@SolusArmatura]

​@@_MrToast_ None of what you said changes the fact that Arcane took place in the most uninteresting place in this world. There are more interesting characters and regions to come.

[@erdalgjelstad5491]
