What Are Meeps? (Bard Lore)

[@raphaellouvet9377]

Brand actually comes from Rygann's Reach. Valar's Hollow is actually the place the survivors went to when he burned Ryggan's Reach down. It's also confirmed that Brand is centuries old.

[@Necrit]

My bad! I dunno why I thought Valar's Hollow was built on top of Rygann's Reach after it burnt down. rip relations and closer age estimates.

[@nullkyanite1889]

In response to your ending notes I don't think this is teasing a celestial in fact I think it is teasing the exact opposite, remember the last champion road map at the very end we got something along the lines of "a new jungler to fill the void in your hearts" and this story is that of bard fighting off the void. Perhaps this new jungler will be a counter point to bard, a rival almost trying to collect those pieces to stop from being locked away again, or perhaps we are both right and its a celestial trying to control the void or has been corrupted by the void much in the same way as Malzahar or Kassadin was, but just on a much more terrifying scale. Just something to think about.

Maybe the bell shards Bard is looking for are very tiny world runes shards, that not even Ryze can locate, so Bard is locating them to use against the void when the time comes.

[@pokfen1812]

10:10 Objection! Brand's story claims that Rygann’s Reach has been burnded down. Valar's Hollow was the closest settlemnt. And this one still stands. Besides if we assume that on release of "From the Ashes" Runeterra's map has been up to date than it clearly state's that it was a few centuries ago that Rygann’s Reach has been burned. So this new story might not explain anything regarding that matter.

[@echovalkyr96]

I have, so many questions. If this story is in fact a teasedr for that evil celestial mentionned in other stories... I feel like that Celestial could be responsible for the fact that the Watchers and void creatures could take a peak into Runterra for the first time. But if that Celestial destroyed a "key" that could close the Void Rifts... - Why did Aurelion Sol could close them ? Did he create this item and gave it some of his power ? - Could the unknown Celestial be related to the "Siblings" Swain was talking about in his interaction with A Sol ? - Could the Celestial be corrupted by the Void, or are they like, the Viego of the Void, like a big boss ? - Why the hell would Bard not get any help from other celestials, but still "ask" humans to help ? Did the other Celestials refuse ? - Did Bard really ask the human bard to help, or did the human just... took it upon himself to help Bard because his Meep-vision turned him crazy ? So many questions, so little answers... Meanwhile Qiyana is still doing nothing in her jungle.

[@FlutterSwag]

-In sols story he mentions a darkness even he was afraid of of, something akin to a darkstar level threat - No Sol had multiple siblings across thr cosmos as seen in LoR -Likely Bard showed him these things by accident of being sucked through his portal not on purpose - also where is Taric, you know, the aspect of the defender

[@echovalkyr96]

@@FlutterSwag True, I kinda forgot the other dragons on mount Targon like Inviolus Vox, but Swain's quote always seemed to... I dunno, important, to be talking about the rest of the dragons ? But if that darkness that you're talking about is really the reason behind all the Void shenanigans... boy I cannot wait to see how this turns out. Also about Taric, I don't really know where to place him. Yes he is an Aspect, but we know he'll side with humankind anytime, at least we can think. I'd like him to be involved in all of this sooner or later.

I hope bard's lore ends up as the climax of the void storyline where he music-battles the void "Devil Went Down To Georgia" style.

They are going to have a fiddle based showdown? I wonder if to do that, a watcher would just turn a part of its body into a fiddle since that’s how they work; turning and adapting to the world they go into as we seen with the Watcher card in LoR. Now I’m just imagining that watcher with a giant fiddle.

I kind of hope that the celestial champion is some sort of husk, which is the way it is because it was broken up into other forms of malice across Runeterra, namely the demons. That way there is a deeper meaning to the demons trying to gain power and why fiddlesticks ate the 9 other demons; they're trying to make the aspect whole again.

I have had this theory that Aurelion is actually trying to destroy runeterra via allowing the void to do it's thing and then sealing it. Then I found out Swain's interaction with Aurelion Sol, about him having a brother. The theory then was that when our slightly naive star dragon god got captured by humans, his brother started the void to destroy Targon. After a bit more lore, that theory doesn't stand. Now, I saw a comment saying that Runeterra being a cosmic bell means that when the void erupts, runeterra's destruction will warn the universe of it. This is my head cannon now.
