My two mains Kha'zix and Kindred don't have a cinematic and I was so sad. Kindred's would be awesome! and the thought of seeing the fight on Kha'zix's page play out between Kha'zix and Rengar would be pretty cool to watch as well
You could have also said how Kindred was possibly born: Wolf: "Lamb, tell me a story." Lamb: "There was once a pale man with dark hair who was very lonely." Wolf: "Why was it lonely?" Lamb: "All things must meet this man, so they shunned him." Wolf: "Did he chase them all?" Lamb: "He took an axe and split himself in two right down the middle." Wolf: "So he would always have a friend?" Lamb: "So he would always have a friend." So the man was probably already the icon of death, as "All things must meet this man..." Splitting itself in two makes it so that there is the brutal side of him, and the side where he kills them fast so they dont have to suffer.
@@CibuYT Kindred can never die, as wolf can only hunt those who flee from death, which lamb doesn't do and lamb can only take those who accept death, which wolf doesn't do. So they will always be together
"Every life...""...ends with us" Kindred is so amazing, I love their lore and their whole aesthetic. I sincerely hope we're getting more spiritual/mythical champions like Bard, Kindred and Kalista.
Shirou Tokisada Amakusa Kotomine I was making a reference to Unlimited Blade Work because they make a cute couple xD I didn't read Fate/Apocrypha yet but i heard some very good things about it, Am i the only one who's hoping the new fate "project" that was anounced this year will be Fate/Apocrypha instead of Hell's (my bad i meant heaven's) feel?
I think Kindred met her in person because she always played their victim and she felt compelled to know how she would really wish to die to them. Like, normally Kindred just pulls the strings as they seem fit but now they felt compelled to ask.
according to the Q&A kindred aren't only bound to the region of the story, but are omnipresent in runeterra. It is also stated that they look different based on the culture of the one seeing them, so someone from shurima will will see them in another way as someone from freljord, for example. I think that's a cool explanation for different skins for kindred :D
Riot crafted a really enjoyable piece of lore for Kindred. I hope they keep doing these for every new champion from now on. Although I really want to know their opinion on how Magga died.
+sari laruli What are you interpreting into jinx story? In the lore they even wrote "you can hear jinx laughter." There is no evidence that jinx is dead or burned to nothingness. Thats just complete false lol.
+sari laruli Well, Caitlyn and Vi does interact her in game. But if there is a Piltover storyline some time in the future featuring Jinx then that may confirm that she in fact alive.
***** I know right, but champions that do get summoned in sums rift aren't always the literal champions themselves. Some are just magical recreation of the champions. So if Jinx did suicide then this means that lore-wise; The Jinx that gets summoned isn't really her.
+NorthernRedStar Magga died of a heart attack, if you look at kindreds splash art you can see a girl laying there, lambs arrow piercing right through her heart, that's in my theory a symbol of her heart attack
So, in her last moments, Magga sees through the eyes of Lamb, literally and metaphorically (the mask). The sharp pain in the chest is a common sympton for a heart-attack, but also probably what a swift arrow to the heart would feel like. So metaphorically she dies by Lamb's arrow, while mortal men would blame her death on a heart attack. Those who refuse Lamb's arrow are left to Wolf, resulting in an unpleasant death, such as a bandit atttack, a fire or a wolf ripping you to bits. Kindred kills metaphorically, while the victims die of more mundane causes in our eyes. Did I get it right? And did I help anyone who may have missed it? (I thought he explained it perfectly)
Some people are actually able to see the Kindred. If those people are chased by Wolf, he'll literally rip them to pieces. So it's not always metaphorically.
I love the idea of Kindred. They're not really a Grim Reaper so much as they are an escort to your death. They don't kill you, they help you through it
Jay Smith No. They are Grim Reapers. They do kill. And they give you options. Accept death and rest. Or ignore it and face pain. Which is Lamb’s swift and precise arrow, which kills you swiftly and easily. And wolf’s hunt and bite, which is painful and full of terror.
@@AndyStarzs1 They are like Apollo and Artemis like that. You could be killed by Apollo's arrow of plague or disease, of Artemis's arrow, from which none feel any pain as they die. But while Apollo is very much tied to Wolves in symbolism, Artemis is no lamb...rather they are Wolf and Deer... (or wolf and bear, but that swing of Artemis's mood breaks the parallel a bit, lol)

@@Jlaiot-uc4ty nah at the end she does of a heart attack that was the sharp pain but earlier kindred was simply asking how she would want to die for later n
I believe the lamb/wolf masks are also a representation of the persons morality. Who deserves a peaceful natural end and who deserves a slow agonizing death. Kindred says "How one dies, shows how one lived".
"That is why Lamb always asks first. And if you say 'no, you don't want the arrow'... Then there is only one other option..." Chilling. Loved it. Very cool interpretation. You can't avoid death altogether, so if you try and run from it, you end up feeling like you're being chased. Deep.
I love how you can hear kindred sing ingame, you know she isnt a malacious being but a force of nature, no different than a storm or the setting of the sun, just with more deadly implications.
This was so interesting! I main Kindred and I didn't get the meaning at the first time when I read the story, that part when Magga sees everyone with masks and it represents the way they die omg.. that's so mind blowing!
I love comparing your versions of the same story through the years. It's so impressive how you've grown in being an excellent story teller. Thank you Necrit!
Based on the lore from the wiki, Kindred will slay all undead of the shadow isles. Maybe they'll be able to free Thresh's victims. I also wonder what they'd think of Lucian.
i'm seeing Necrit with 2 Million Subs next year at least. This type of content is what League fans have been waiting for. That, and with the extremely rich details that this videos give us, this channel will become one of the most Subscribed Channels directed to League's content, specially because Dunkey's left League of Legends. At least thats my opinion, good fortune Necrit, you diserve it.
DAaaamn, that story and the Lore of Kindred is really coooool! Also its in some strange way.. beautiful? If you concider it. :D Thanks again 50 years old Necrit!
This is such an amazing story, I can see why you prefer kindred! These are exactly the kind of stories I like, somewhat mystical and abstract but with clear grounding. Which in this case, was seeing the fate of arrow or chase for all of the audience. Genuinely one of the best short stories I’ve come across in awhile, deserves a cinematic for sure
+dirk dennikes Riot said that Kindred may appear in the Shadow Isles lore update. If so, this could be a prince from the kingdom before everything went wrong. But it is just a theory. ^^
+dirk dennikes I'm only repeating what Riot said. Someone asked if it was "The Ruined King", Riot said, "It's a noble, but not a king." They may have even said he was Demacian, but I cannot recall with certainty. Also, Kings aren't the only ones who wear crowns. Stereotypically, the entire royal family would wear some type of crown, although typically not as elaborate as the king himself. Jarvan would be an example. To say the recently deceased noble in the picture is a younger sibling of J4 is not unreasonable.
+That guy "Never one without the other" is actually a pretty good answer. Let's not forget that one version of the Kindred myth states that they were born from a single entity that split himself in two. I believe it's to give them a yin and yang feel, they complete each other, and both of them have a bit of the other in them. c:
I just realised that the name "Kindred" seems a game of words: "kindly" and "dreadful", resembling the 2 types of deaths that the lamb and the wolf provides.
Great Necrit, I was going to read the story, but simply didn't have the time at the moment. So basically I put on your video whilst doing my work, and I appriciate the fact that you took your time to make this. Thanks alot ^w^
dude ur videos are so god damn awesome u deserve way more attention and u managed it to become one of my favourite YT stars and ur lore videos always manage to amaze me! keep going!!!!
I think this is really great. Your videos have always been very interesting, as well as your engaging accept and voice that make me wanna listen to you read and explain much more lore of LoL, and maybe even make a new champion and tell about his/her lore, that'd be very interesting. However, the only problem is that you might need a new mic, in my opinion. It sort of bothers me, and maybe other people, that the mic isn't too good of a quality. I'm sure if you got a new mic, you might get more viewers and/or subscribers. This is only a suggestion, and the mic quality only bothers me slightly. Best of luck!
+Pix Tron (GravityTrash) I always thought my voice was horrible and that people would hate it. Also, I am getting a new mic sometimes during October! Everything should be better. ^^
6 years later I only knew now what Kindred represents. Wow. One of the most interesting champions there is. Riot literally created a champion who is (or an embodiment of) death. Plus, I think Magga was basically crossing the bridge to death as she felt the heart attack, making her able to see everyone's fate of either Lamb or Wolf.
To put it simply: Kindred is two halves of one entity, that entity being death. Death, can be slow, it can be quick, it can be painless, it can be painful. It can come swiftly, or ferociously. So is the tale of the grace of the lamb and the wolf. When she was confronted by Kindred, she was given a choice, to be played by Wolf, or a swift arrow from Lamb. She chose the arrow of Lamb, so at her dying breath, her heart stopped, pierced by a single arrow that no one else than Lamb, Wolf and Magga. As death already knew her name, her days was already counted, the time of her death written and accepted.
The story about pale man with dark hair, is about Death (as person who everyone needs to meet yet everbody try to stay away from him/her, which made Death lonely and felt all alone) and with death splitting himself or herself up with an axe (the scythe) made Lamb and Wolf as Kindred. I also see Lamb as Calm yet sophisticated, while Wolf is violent yet naive. It just shows how opposite they are yet very similar. That is also maybe they are just White and Black because they also symbolize balance like yin and yang.
2:06 "Tragedy finds maiden, defines maiden, and then it takes maiden." Yup. Sounds like a simple enough set up to me. I see you really put a lot of effort into that, Illusion.
I don't think its a matter of choosing HOW to die that decides who gets the honors of blowing out your life light, but more the difference between accepting death or not. Lamb's arrow is for those that accept death when it comes for them. These people have come to terms with their fate and will thus die peacefully and swift (like Maga who, to me, seemed to give the impression at the end that she felt her end coming). Those that do not accept death when it comes for them (either because its early or unnatural like the caravan in the story) are chased by wolf because they run from it. Its not so much a choice of whom will kill you and lamb does not always ask, but more if you accept your fate when it comes, or not.
Kindred sounds most like a god that has became natural law. I think that Kindred is really existing in the universe of LoL in some substance but it doesn't directly tinker with death (that is he's/she's/its area of expertise) I think you could think about kindred the same way as Grim reaper or the Celtic Dullahan in some myths, grim reaper doesn't need to physically kill(traditionally touch with his skeleton arm) the dying, but people and animals die because grim reaper exists, he is the manifestation of the natural law of death or for the people of old the reason why they die. People who lived in the world without science etc. had urge to form myths or reasoning's for natural phenomena. For example Celtic people thought that thunder was Thor riding his wagon through the skies or ancient Egyptians thought that sun was rolled around the skies by gigantic scarab.. Also just came to my mind since I just watched the vid about most powerful champions regarding lore, Anubis was the ancient Egyptians grim reaper which was major influence for Nasus and Anubis was also reincarnated human like Nasus, not a warrior but Pharao : P
I think that usually, Id find your accent brake my attention (thats a thing I personally have, not saying everyone have it) but you explain everything so well and your voice is so constant that it just flow together! the video was splendid! loved it! griping story reading, good visual editing and a constant voice to back up. the lack of voice giving to the characters might even enhance it!

One of the few RUclipsrs that go deep in the forgotten lore of league of legends. Thank you Necrit for making the lore more appealing to more people. Cheers from Brazil. :3
I agree on the part that Kindred is an omen of death and represents a grim reaper in the world of LoL, though, I do not agree that she had a chance to choose her own death only because she had met them. I perceive Magga's story this way: Kindred is an omen of death and in your final hour it comes for you, yet you don't have any choice - will you be shot by a Lamb's bow or ripped apart by Wolf's claws. The only thing that matters is whether you accept your death or deny it. If you accept your death then you are granted a swift sharp shot but if you deny it, run away from it you will be marked as a prey of Wolf's chase. Also, it seems that death from Lamb's arm is inevitable and may happen at any time and indeed it will be a quick one, meanwhile death from Wolf can be delayed and in the end of a hunt you will suffer and moan in agony. The time when Magga met Kindred the girl instantly recognized before whom she stood and what did it mean. She was trembling, was afraid, she was not ready to die, so she tried to find a purpose according to which she would stay alive. Wolf undoubtedly smelled such denial, thus he moved forward with the phrase " Can we play 'Chasing the Magga-Thing and Bite Her to Bids?'?". Lamb asked what the girl would choose only because it seemed funny for her because actually they never had ask such question to anybody as nobody lived long enough after they had seen Kindred. As an omen of death Kindred comes to the finale of everybody's life and the fact that Magga met them at barrow-archway is a pure coincidence in my opinion. It may happened because archway was a special place with Kindred's symbol engraved on a tombstone or simply Kindred was amused how Magga survived and wanted to thank her for a wonderful performance. In the end Magga performs in a Royal Theater so splendidly that even a king and a queen were on their feets. She was old and had her pleasure with such top-notch performance, so she truly was happy and even death didn't intimidate her. She died from a heart attack which was represented as a Lamb's arrow. As she was on a brink of her end she glance through the audience as it was a Royal Theater there were all kind of people but in the end they all will face a wolf or a lamb.
a lot of theories and in lore story says that kindred is death itself thats why kindred is the strongest meanwhile aurelion sol has nothing but forging the stars,but kindred can bring death upon aurelion idk but lore is still a mystery kindred being omnipotent being aurelion sol,bard and soraka being celestials btw we dont know how powerful soraka is because she is a celestial who went to earth and had a medium thats why her current powers are "simply" a little of her original powers,the reason why when she heals it deducts her life is because the othere cant take her powers because its so strong....I really love League of Legends so mystery so thrilling and a lot more to discover
+CherryRainbow i am a kindred main (have been an adc main since season 3), and have been since she came out. i love her so much, i completely understand. as an artist, all my life i have been completely obsessed with death, and making it into a corporeal being. i have done many piece centering around this, and when kindred came out, i screamed. it was as if riot made a champion specifically with me in mind.
Imen Hashim kindred is my main jungle, I just absolutley love her quotes and lamb soothing angle voice and wolfs savage demon like voice its so satisfying c:

+Taiku Altergrund Same XD
+Taiku Altergrund I was as soon as they were on surrender at 20
+Taiku Altergrund from when i read the lore i decided kindred was for me
You could have also said how Kindred was possibly born:
Wolf: "Lamb, tell me a story."
Lamb: "There was once a pale man with dark hair who was very lonely."
Wolf: "Why was it lonely?"
Lamb: "All things must meet this man, so they shunned him."
Wolf: "Did he chase them all?"
Lamb: "He took an axe and split himself in two right down the middle."
Wolf: "So he would always have a friend?"
Lamb: "So he would always have a friend."
So the man was probably already the icon of death, as "All things must meet this man..." Splitting itself in two makes it so that there is the brutal side of him, and the side where he kills them fast so they dont have to suffer.
But they say there’s many way to die is that mess up

Electrized that's what I was thinking

I didn't get that sentence tho. Why would anyone pick another than the arrow ? Is this because everytime Lamb asks, it wants to kill with an arrow ?
I love how you can hear kindred sing ingame, you know she isnt a malacious being but a force of nature, no different than a storm or the setting of the sun, just with more deadly implications.
Coming here after the Still Here cinematic is some special 🫡
This was so interesting! I main Kindred and I didn't get the meaning at the first time when I read the story, that part when Magga sees everyone with masks and it represents the way they die omg.. that's so mind blowing!
I love comparing your versions of the same story through the years. It's so impressive how you've grown in being an excellent story teller. Thank you Necrit!
Based on the lore from the wiki, Kindred will slay all undead of the shadow isles. Maybe they'll be able to free Thresh's victims.
I also wonder what they'd think of Lucian.
And sena hahaha
I love this, 8:00.
Death does not exist, but exists.
It's by far the most Elodin thing I have heard in a long, long time.
i'm seeing Necrit with 2 Million Subs next year at least. This type of content is what League fans have been waiting for. That, and with the extremely rich details that this videos give us, this channel will become one of the most Subscribed Channels directed to League's content, specially because Dunkey's left League of Legends. At least thats my opinion, good fortune Necrit, you diserve it.
Looks like you were wrong, It's been two years and he's only at 195k
5 yrs in 495k
PLEASE make more lore like this, good work , really enjoyble to take a cup of something and just relax and watch in the night.
"Never One,"
"Without The Other."
Fun fact, the masks disappeared on the performance that Magga died in.
I love kindreds character so much by far my favorite champ lore wise she definitely needs a cinematic
Your wish finally came true
holy moly i love your videos *_* your voices fits perfectly top the Storys RUclips are telling us gr8 job m8 :)
DAaaamn, that story and the Lore of Kindred is really coooool! Also its in some strange way.. beautiful? If you concider it. :D Thanks again 50 years old Necrit!
Your story telling is very good, I was feeling the chills... Great work, you deserve me subs! Bless.
This channel is gold
much has changed with this channel, love it
Who's here after the 2024 cinematic?
This is such an amazing story, I can see why you prefer kindred! These are exactly the kind of stories I like, somewhat mystical and abstract but with clear grounding. Which in this case, was seeing the fate of arrow or chase for all of the audience.
Genuinely one of the best short stories I’ve come across in awhile, deserves a cinematic for sure
Could u explain the crown lying next to the dead body in kindreds splash art?
+dirk dennikes Riot said that Kindred may appear in the Shadow Isles lore update. If so, this could be a prince from the kingdom before everything went wrong. But it is just a theory. ^^
+Necrit my wild guess was a jarvan
Riot specifically said it wasn't a king, but a noble. Whether they intend to expand that lore or not was unsaid.
+icspps noble with a crown?
+dirk dennikes I'm only repeating what Riot said.
Someone asked if it was "The Ruined King", Riot said, "It's a noble, but not a king." They may have even said he was Demacian, but I cannot recall with certainty.
Also, Kings aren't the only ones who wear crowns. Stereotypically, the entire royal family would wear some type of crown, although typically not as elaborate as the king himself. Jarvan would be an example. To say the recently deceased noble in the picture is a younger sibling of J4 is not unreasonable.
Nice video as always man :) you made my day.
+Wukong The Monkey King My honor.
+Necrit Do you know why Lamb has Wolf's mask and Wolf has Lamb's mask?
+Pixel Perfect "Never one without the other" well no idea actually.
Lol
Thanks for replying tho. ;)
+That guy "Never one without the other" is actually a pretty good answer. Let's not forget that one version of the Kindred myth states that they were born from a single entity that split himself in two. I believe it's to give them a yin and yang feel, they complete each other, and both of them have a bit of the other in them. c:
nothingtownn Okay Thank you!
I Love Kindred so much and the lore too
But I Didn't understand it.
So thank you ^.^
No problem really, I love them too ^^
My God you're amazing dude these stories get the imagination wild you really know to explain a story in a very amazing way
I just realised that the name "Kindred" seems a game of words: "kindly" and "dreadful", resembling the 2 types of deaths that the lamb and the wolf provides.
Hii there
was this video was on your recommendation
@@annnicolesitchon5940 yep XD
This video got me so much more excited for the new champion. Good job!
+Kirbistheword Thank you! :)
2024 team here
You know it
👀
Starting league of legends. Hope to fight yall
Great Necrit, I was going to read the story, but simply didn't have the time at the moment. So basically I put on your video whilst doing my work, and I appriciate the fact that you took your time to make this. Thanks alot ^w^
+bloggi2 But! I made the dialog between Magga and Kindred shorter so if you have time go and read it! It is amazing!
You have a great voice for storytelling, i really enjoy these.
dude ur videos are so god damn awesome u deserve way more attention and u managed it to become one of my favourite YT stars and ur lore videos always manage to amaze me! keep going!!!!
I think this is really great.
Your videos have always been very interesting, as well as your engaging accept and voice that make me wanna listen to you read and explain much more lore of LoL, and maybe even make a new champion and tell about his/her lore, that'd be very interesting.
However, the only problem is that you might need a new mic, in my opinion. It sort of bothers me, and maybe other people, that the mic isn't too good of a quality.
I'm sure if you got a new mic, you might get more viewers and/or subscribers. This is only a suggestion, and the mic quality only bothers me slightly.
Best of luck!
+Pix Tron (GravityTrash) I always thought my voice was horrible and that people would hate it. Also, I am getting a new mic sometimes during October! Everything should be better. ^^
+Necrit Even better??? Is that possible? YAY!!!
+Necrit haha your voice is fine. Your content is amazing :D So do not worry about things like mic
Necrit OstrichPaladin True. I love your content, and your voice is amazing too. Can you make like a big video with all of the lore of LoL?
Kindred: So do you prefer the arrow or the teeth?
Rammus: Ok
Kindred *dies in confusion
I feel like a kid being told a bedtime story. I love it.
6 years later I only knew now what Kindred represents. Wow. One of the most interesting champions there is. Riot literally created a champion who is (or an embodiment of) death. Plus, I think Magga was basically crossing the bridge to death as she felt the heart attack, making her able to see everyone's fate of either Lamb or Wolf.
Jesus I love this champion.
"We did not come looking for you. You came looking for us" that I like
u sound like the vampire on hotel transylvania
underrated
Kenneth i live in transilvania :))
No
To put it simply:
Kindred is two halves of one entity, that entity being death.
Death, can be slow, it can be quick, it can be painless, it can be painful.
It can come swiftly, or ferociously. So is the tale of the grace of the lamb and the wolf.
When she was confronted by Kindred, she was given a choice, to be played by Wolf, or a swift arrow from Lamb.
She chose the arrow of Lamb, so at her dying breath, her heart stopped, pierced by a single arrow that no one else than Lamb, Wolf and Magga.
As death already knew her name, her days was already counted, the time of her death written and accepted.
This is such great lore!
I really wish they had some music with Lamb humming pleasantly throughout it like a lovely lullaby. So beautiful.
6:08 you can't fool me, that's one of the old ladies from Dark Souls 2!
necrit, thanks to this video i started playing kindred and i really love that champ. so thank you for making such awesome videos.
1:11 he sounds like he's saying penis arrow lol
+Philip Paul Yeah your so right lol :D
hahahaha :D
Do I hear a plea for my PEENIS ARROW?!!! LOL!
*****
Meh 5/10 at lbest lol
+Philip Paul IT DOES LMAOOO
The story about pale man with dark hair, is about Death (as person who everyone needs to meet yet everbody try to stay away from him/her, which made Death lonely and felt all alone) and with death splitting himself or herself up with an axe (the scythe) made Lamb and Wolf as Kindred.
I also see Lamb as Calm yet sophisticated, while Wolf is violent yet naive. It just shows how opposite they are yet very similar. That is also maybe they are just White and Black because they also symbolize balance like yin and yang.
Death is death itself, the story is just a story it's not kindred's story.
They only show up after you die.
*Lore nerd hype intensifies*
Dude, I love you man and how you walk us through the story and explaining everying. well done.
That one disliker deserves the Wolf!
2:06
"Tragedy finds maiden, defines maiden, and then it takes maiden."
Yup. Sounds like a simple enough set up to me. I see you really put a lot of effort into that, Illusion.
Kindred is just a metaphor. A manifestation of Death.
I don't think its a matter of choosing HOW to die that decides who gets the honors of blowing out your life light, but more the difference between accepting death or not. Lamb's arrow is for those that accept death when it comes for them. These people have come to terms with their fate and will thus die peacefully and swift (like Maga who, to me, seemed to give the impression at the end that she felt her end coming). Those that do not accept death when it comes for them (either because its early or unnatural like the caravan in the story) are chased by wolf because they run from it. Its not so much a choice of whom will kill you and lamb does not always ask, but more if you accept your fate when it comes, or not.
ohhh damn you're are awesome buddy!
+FlyGokuSSJ2 Thank you!
I never watch full video's of LoL. But this channel is really sticking me on!
Throw back. This is the video that I subscribed to you.
Kindred sounds most like a god that has became natural law. I think that Kindred is really existing in the universe of LoL in some substance but it doesn't directly tinker with death (that is he's/she's/its area of expertise) I think you could think about kindred the same way as Grim reaper or the Celtic Dullahan in some myths, grim reaper doesn't need to physically kill(traditionally touch with his skeleton arm) the dying, but people and animals die because grim reaper exists, he is the manifestation of the natural law of death or for the people of old the reason why they die.
People who lived in the world without science etc. had urge to form myths or reasoning's for natural phenomena. For example Celtic people thought that thunder was Thor riding his wagon through the skies or ancient Egyptians thought that sun was rolled around the skies by gigantic scarab.. Also just came to my mind since I just watched the vid about most powerful champions regarding lore, Anubis was the ancient Egyptians grim reaper which was major influence for Nasus and Anubis was also reincarnated human like Nasus, not a warrior but Pharao : P
I think that usually, Id find your accent brake my attention (thats a thing I personally have, not saying everyone have it) but you explain everything so well and your voice is so constant that it just flow together! the video was splendid! loved it!
griping story reading, good visual editing and a constant voice to back up. the lack of voice giving to the characters might even enhance it!
So Kindred in a way is like a Shinigami from death note?
cool.
This story gave me the chills , really nice video!
Man old Necrit microphone is weird lol
I dont usually reply to videos but this is gold man =) keep up the good work. I subbed to you recently and since i had some spare time today I watched about 20 vids of you :) im already hyped for the next one =) have a good day sir!
2:11 lol. Turn on the subtitles "they thought the blood was too dick table"
Dude we need more lore about kindred, they're so fucking cool and has so much potential
Seriously, I need the name of the background insturmental, at least the type/genre of it? It's driving me crazy
NOBODY KNOWS IT?
@@zorazorn and then another 2 years later hhh, NOBODY KNOWS IT
IMO you are the best league of legends youtuber. And I really mean that. Your content is really unique, and it's hard to find videos as unique as your topics. I like your variety of content, too. Also, you're a really good story teller, and a really funny person and I love your sense of humor man. :DDDDDD
Would you like to do a video about Udyr's Lore?
+Baribo Bangito You are not the first to ask. ^^ Yes, but it would probably be together with Lee, Rengar, Gnar and other creatures that live in the forest.
Necrit I am that guy who also asked you on facebook (david) XD
^^^^ I want too see that do
+Baribo Bangito Baribo :3 vrei sa jucam lol, candva? Nu stiu daca iti mai amintesti de mine desi te recunosc de pe fb si am jucat cu tine. Faceam 1 v 1, eu eram Gnar si tu Rene. Sau jucasei Vel iar eu Swain si ma bateai cu stil. :( Daca e iti las PM pe Fb, ca sa iti reamintesti + ca nu-mi place sa ies in evidenta printre straini, de obicei. Respectele mele, Bogdan.
After watching this video the only thing I can say is that I am amazed by your work and I am really glad I found you by chance! As many others already pointed out your work is awesome keep it up! You deserve way more attention and I can't wait for your next lore video!
Thank you for doing what you do it really is awesome and it blows my mind every single time!
+Jee Grabe My pleasure! :o)
Thank you ! That was a great video, I got lost in the story, not lost as in I didn't know what you meant but lost as in I felt like I was in the woods watching the whole thing go down. A very nice narrative on the kindred lore!
I am not early, early is me.
I came here for the second time, the first time when this video got released
One of the few RUclipsrs that go deep in the forgotten lore of league of legends. Thank you Necrit for making the lore more appealing to more people. Cheers from Brazil. :3
+Bruno Andrade forgotten? This lore isnt a month old.
I meant that the lore aspect of the game is forgotten, some people don't give a shit about it. Only caring if a champion is OP, or are in the meta.
Your voice is so very soothing. Not in a creepy way. I love your videos. Please do them until you die.
Please do more Lore Explained videos. I really want them! I dont like reading the lore so this is awesome.
I am still glad that you tried so hard for us in this video. Do have a good rest, okay?
I agree on the part that Kindred is an omen of death and represents a grim reaper in the world of LoL, though, I do not agree that she had a chance to choose her own death only because she had met them. I perceive Magga's story this way:
Kindred is an omen of death and in your final hour it comes for you, yet you don't have any choice - will you be shot by a Lamb's bow or ripped apart by Wolf's claws. The only thing that matters is whether you accept your death or deny it. If you accept your death then you are granted a swift sharp shot but if you deny it, run away from it you will be marked as a prey of Wolf's chase. Also, it seems that death from Lamb's arm is inevitable and may happen at any time and indeed it will be a quick one, meanwhile death from Wolf can be delayed and in the end of a hunt you will suffer and moan in agony.
The time when Magga met Kindred the girl instantly recognized before whom she stood and what did it mean. She was trembling, was afraid, she was not ready to die, so she tried to find a purpose according to which she would stay alive. Wolf undoubtedly smelled such denial, thus he moved forward with the phrase " Can we play 'Chasing the Magga-Thing and Bite Her to Bids?'?". Lamb asked what the girl would choose only because it seemed funny for her because actually they never had ask such question to anybody as nobody lived long enough after they had seen Kindred. As an omen of death Kindred comes to the finale of everybody's life and the fact that Magga met them at barrow-archway is a pure coincidence in my opinion. It may happened because archway was a special place with Kindred's symbol engraved on a tombstone or simply Kindred was amused how Magga survived and wanted to thank her for a wonderful performance.
In the end Magga performs in a Royal Theater so splendidly that even a king and a queen were on their feets. She was old and had her pleasure with such top-notch performance, so she truly was happy and even death didn't intimidate her. She died from a heart attack which was represented as a Lamb's arrow. As she was on a brink of her end she glance through the audience as it was a Royal Theater there were all kind of people but in the end they all will face a wolf or a lamb.
+Sandpit Turtle i agree with you completely. thank you for taking the time to type that out.
a lot of theories and in lore story says that kindred is death itself thats why kindred is the strongest meanwhile aurelion sol has nothing but forging the stars,but kindred can bring death upon aurelion idk but lore is still a mystery kindred being omnipotent being aurelion sol,bard and soraka being celestials btw we dont know how powerful soraka is because she is a celestial who went to earth and had a medium thats why her current powers are "simply" a little of her original powers,the reason why when she heals it deducts her life is because the othere cant take her powers because its so strong....I really love League of Legends so mystery so thrilling and a lot more to discover
12 minutes and 14 seconds of you slowly turning into a kindred main
*takes a deep breath*
Fucking love kindred
+CherryRainbow i am a kindred main (have been an adc main since season 3), and have been since she came out. i love her so much, i completely understand. as an artist, all my life i have been completely obsessed with death, and making it into a corporeal being. i have done many piece centering around this, and when kindred came out, i screamed. it was as if riot made a champion specifically with me in mind.
Imen Hashim kindred is my main jungle, I just absolutley love her quotes and lamb soothing angle voice and wolfs savage demon like voice its so satisfying
c:
Thanks man. The lore was so long I didn't bother to read after 1/4 of it. This was really helpful. I love lores too lol
maaaan i really enjoyed this you should consider telling more stories on your channel you have a very special way of telling them
Subscribing in case you do more lore videos. I'm a huge lore nerd and I enjoyed these videos very much, despite knowing 95% of the facts. They are just very nicely edited and you tell the stories in an interesting way.
Like you can choose your target as kindred in game, like you're predicting their death, fate.
