Well in Irelia's Case she "forges" her weapons with light stone or how it's called, by herself. It's clearly shown in her recall animation with her Sentinel Skin. Also I don't see why Riven couldn't just have put aside her balde for NOW, and picked up a new one that's effective against the black mist. Then once everything is finished, she just takes her old one with her again. Or the fact that Irelia's new blades could simply be "covered" in light stone, and at the core her blades are what she controls. It's not hard to imagine, but they could have explained it better.

Very likely and a perfect explanation for a Sylas puppet. However, it's no reason why there would be Sylas puppet made to look like a Mage Seeker (half mask and such). After all, the mage seekers are the nemesis of the mages and are trying to find, imprison and "cure" them.

Well since morde is made of this ghost energy/black mist/whatever the shadow isles champs and monsters are made of then that would be no longer the case. Or the runic blade can't harm the black mist/ghosts and the black rose just wants it bc is a powerful weapon, or then it makes no sense it cant harm them. Sorry if it was a little confusing i hope the point i was trying to make was at least a little bit clear hahaha

I still don't feel the inclusion of Vayne in the sentinels. From how she was portrayed in previous storys, she'd rather die fighting alone than to let other magical creatures like Senna and Gwen live, let alone work together with them. Ofc is is possible to have a change of heart, but the last time we heard from her she killed her foster mother after being saved only due to the latter ones magical abilities. On the other hand champions like Yorick or Maokai are completely absent for now, even though they are directly connected to the ruined king and would certainly help the sentinels. Lucian, Senna, Gwen, Akshan, Yorick and Maokai would have been a pretty good lineup imo, maybe throw in Taric and Ezreal if you need more characters. Sure these are not the most popular champs (besides Ezreal), but that would have been the perfect opportunity to change that (at least a little bit).

[@zachnightingale8156]

Thoughts on Sentinel Pyke: I really think he in particular could fit in with the Sentinels, IF they wrote him differently. Before I finished Bilgewater I had the theory that Pyke became more... 'agreeable' because of some magic tied to Illaoi. Sentinel Graves even has a line towards him mentioning it. I thought that perhaps the force that resurrected Pyke, in the beginning, was Nagakaborous and Pyke's rampant murders were just people who Nagakaborous deems 'unworthy' (in her eyes, they are unmoving and not progressing in life - your average 9-5 retail guy for example). So from our perspective, since they are strangers to us, we just think he's killing at random but in reality, Nagakaborous is using Pyke to do her bidding. What would've been cool is to have Illaoi show Pyke that he's exacting the will of Nagakaborous and through that, he becomes more normal and less insane. Then, by the time Viego invades Bilgewater, he realizes that Viego is unworthy to Nagakaborous and thus, he has to kill him. Thus, he joins the Sentinels. But no, he's just an insane stowaway with a cool dagger that can kill wraithes.

That doll isn't necessarily Sylas. Could be any of the mage-seeker's mage 'colleagues.' Sylas probably isn't the only mage who was made to wear the neck brace and hand cuffs.

[@Circurose]

And the doll is clearly blonde.

This event is gonna end with Thresh absorbing Viego and all of the souls he used to consume, turning into an all powerful femboy

[@miphatitou8824]

The comic originally was on wild rift and I think that’s why there is only wild rift sentinels champions/skins

[@Shak-tir]

It could be neat if you could post the links of the comics in the description, but still great video !

[@Alex-lc5dz]

But in WR there is 2 more comics i think, and i think the comic was made for WR which is probably why gwen and olaf are not in the comic.

[@brandnewontheinternet9024]

What if they didn't jist change weapons but instead they just modified their weapons with sentinel weapons or something like that? Like they're still irelia's blades they have just been infused with sentinel juice or something same with vayne who also just used arrows from the sentinel base. As for riven all I can think of is they somehow reforged her blade with sentinel juice

[@Rander1200]

If Akshun kills Isolde after shes been put back together, then Viego comes back. After, Akshun just needs to kill the assassin to bring the human Isolde back.

[@couufdr]

To be honest I agree about rivens blade That could be how they explain her going over to the sentinel blade blade. I feel like they could have also made it that it's mordekaiser sword & the black rose gets ambushed by him in the mist. I remember him making a video about him using the mist every once in a while.

[@gyeongwonpark3453]

Hello I love how you explain lores and events if I want to know lore I watch your vids

[@amanloki6449]

I think it is because of Wild Rift skins, as Gwen, Olaf Skin(only), Pyke and its skin, Graves Skin (only), Rengar Skin(only) and Diana Skin(only) are not included in wild rift.

LeBlanc:SENTINELS? IN MY LOBBY?

[@Karanthaneos]

Riot always made a distinction between game and lore, but they muddled it a bit when making these kinds of events. The comics and stories in universe should be the only sources of canon lore, but I'd like them to make it clear instead of being so ambiguous. That's why they stated that stuff from Legends of Runeterra is canon despite some things not being consistent or lining perfectly. We might have to expect another kind of soft reboot of the story for when the MMO releases, where I HOPE they would've cleaned up their shit. It feels quite tiring to have such inconsistencies because it undermines our investment. Specially yours, since you're so diligent with the lore. Thank you for your efforts, loremaster.

[@novarestez4306]

New cinematic coming right up

[@usagi_minato4561]

I think the comic ended up that way because it ended up on wild rift and since Gwen and pyke aren’t in wild rift only vayne, irelia and riven actually received their sentinel skins while the others didn’t so that’s probably why

[@n1c3s43]

I was really hoping the visual novel was the version furthest away from canon

[@KAAAAAAAAGH]

A shaco rework...i wanna see that. Just the right amount of joker, nosferatu and a twisted version of scarface

[@Wuhaboo]

4:55 the dog is for baron vayne

[@bradleymoore2797]

Zilean: Those different realities of Viego's return showed me plenty, but not how to save icathia.

[@DeJay7]

It's 29/7/2021 now. Waiting for the expansion. Shurima better be interesting with Akshan. I wonder how they fight Viego in the Shadow Isles. I wonder whether Isolde will come back. What would Viego do with Isolde back to life. Would the Ruination from a thousand years ago stop? What is Thresh's plans? VEX?

[@vjgabucan]

I think the initial set of sentinels will attempt to attack Viego and fail. They will be overwhelmed by Viego’s forces and Gwen will save them. With Gwen in their team, this will give them another idea or way of defeating him. This will also provide the opportunity for the rest of the sentinels to be recruited.

[@marcosvini150]

This comick is for wild rift, thats why there is some character

[@nipunsaxena2907]

It can be possible that riot pushes Shaco's lore when we see dolls in comic Steadfast Hearts. Probably shaco transform many champions in demarcia into dolls since he was in demarcia last time.

[@vixalotl5617]

"Since everyone already knows about that" *Hand up* I don't .-.

[@SKsuprakirby]

I like to think the visual novel is how Rookie is telling the story. But he does not want to make the children scared

[@bluemio7349]

Doesn't Olaf make a whole lot of sense, too, though? Like his whole eternal slaughtering of Black Mist stuff?

[@holandreas]

Riven is smart enough to use a more efficient weapon I'm sure. It is very unlikely that means she threw away her weapon.

[@MsDoubleTeam]

I actually like Vayne, Riven, Olaf as the side characters, they make sense why they would be enlisted, as long as they explain rivens weapon. Graves could have been so easy to write and Riot basically already has a way to make it happen. Graves is always helping Twisted Fate out of problems, so.. just make the Underworld Twisted Fate his "Ruined" skin, and have Graves's reason to join the Sentinels that he "needs" to save TF again.

[@Catspirit123]

The problem with the comic is it’s made for wild rift so it only uses characters that got sentinel skins in that game. The only sentinels they got were vayne, riven, and irelia. Gwen’s not in WR either so that’s probably why she’s not there in any capacity

[@couufdr]

Vayne being there is actually good maybe she'll warm up to magic. Irelia can also get a chance to warm up to riven

[@martinvazquez3621]

The comics dont add the missing people because they / their skins aren't in WR

[@jereanalexerescullar5438]

The main characters that were used for the Sentinels of Light in Wild Rift are Lucian, Senna, Vayne, Riven, Irelia, and Akshan. I know it might be a coincidence but the comics were also used for content in the event. The skins for the champ was released just recently along with Akshan but the fact that the other sentinels are missing makes me question the lore.

[@zoomzoom103]

I really don't like that Riot has two very different versions of the story and says "oh they're both canon...just one more so than the other." What? That doesn't make sense. And I really don't like how it just gives the audience the ability to be like "oh I like this version more so that's canon to me, not the other one" instead of just one accurate story that people can judge itself. I don't know, I'd rather have Riot be like "this is how things played out, either like or don't" instead of "here's multiple different ways the story played out, whichever one you like the best is canon"

[@Ower8x]

Yeah no the more I hear about how its being "handled" behind the scene, the more I am certain that this will leave the lore in an even bigger mess than it was before, I started to get worried when it became clear how massive they are advertising the Ruination as being, since that would mean basically almost every character would need to be mentioned / affected by the events ... but I did not feel Riots storytelling would work with such a set up ...

[@FireMocs14]

EVERYONE MEET EACH OTHER VAYNE: MONSTER!!!

[@yuchenji4759]

Honestly i feel that if we join the visual novel and the comics together but change something from both. The story would be way better

[@Shado_Wolf34]

I think the reason why they didn't put olaf because in Wild Rift they only release 3 sentinel of light skin which is Vayne Irelia and Riven. TBH I was hoping they will release Rengar Diana Graves and Olaf's sentinel of light skin in Wild Rift and the reason why Gwen is not in the comics coz Gwen is not yet released in Wild Rift so they did a lot of adjustment to this comic.

[@pedroveloso7130]

Just to say, the thumbnail scared the shit out of me

[@normal6390]

The reason why this comic is missing so much is because the comic was made mostly keeping WR in mind. The champions here are the ones who got the skins in WR
