Legends of Runeterra is the best at expanding lore, great art, storytelling, and moving characters out of their usual places
Yea it feels nice to have a game a story and a card game xD minus the toxic community? This is the best game of its type
- the times when they are forced by Riot to go full marketing and add anything that is popular without regard for existing lore like Malphite cards, Cithria Lady of Clouds, KDA.
I love how LoR builds the foundation for the MMO with all its units and lore
@@Lex-js5su the toxic community is still there, the difference is no game chat
meanwhile, the league game itself keeps producing recycled champions but can't afford to hire someone who will work with their old champs visual update
If I had a nickle for each time Demacia was attacked by dead people I would have 2 nickles, witch isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
3 nickels if you count nocturne
@@javionvest9067 he not dead hes a nightmare
@@alexcote9243 hes a demon actually.
@@soladelp5926 primordial force of nightmare but there change his lore soon
@@alexcote9243 yeah hes the primordial force of paronia and nightmares , because that is how demons work in the league univers. Every demon kinda has their own bad feeling attached to them of what they feast, tahm kench is greed, eveleynn is lust, fiddlesticks is fear and nocturne would be like paranoia or something like that.
I fully believe that Swain does know and is working on his own counter measures in case LeBlanc does something nefarious.
He does know, Swain knows everything, he's almost as knowledgeable as Aurelion sol.
But he won't risk destroying his nation just to take down the black rose, he's probably planning something.
He definitely knows, he has the demon of secrets whispering to him. As what he says in game "they are five steps from realizing i am ten steps ahead"
Yeah, I have to assume swain knows and is letting it Continue as it furthers his own ends somehow. Having an unkillable zombie unit will be handy in any war. Maybe that is just the price he is willing to pay for peace.
@@garou9914 He actually rivals A.Sol for knowledge.
There is a quote of kindred in legends of runttera where she is telling the wolf about a story sh was talking about swain she almost said whats swain promised the demon in return for his power
The girl that Sion is killing and that appears in some other of this cards is actually another Card herself
She is the radiant guardian from demacia
Oh shit it is, same weapon too
But everyone thought she died in Shadow Isle
So she is definitely dead eh?
Hope he sees this
Good ridance. Her stats and keywords are BS
Legends of runeterra actually carrying yo entire league universe
Yeah I seriously hope riot wont go down the blizzard path and wont allow the *ruination* of lol universe (pun intended)
The woman that is about to be crushed by sion is actually the radiant guardian and by her lance sticking out of him we can assume that she managed to "kill" sion
I'm curious tho, did this happen before or after the demacians ventured into the Shadow Isles? Necrit said that she dies fighting the wraiths but there's also a possibility that she didn't and she was positioned in this outpost where she finally dies from Sion. Which is which I wonder.
Or Maybe a Radiant Guardian as a Demacian Rank and they just put "that" Radiant Guardian for viewers like us to connect the dots. As you can see she held a high position as she can be seen commanding Demacian Troops in the defense of the outpost
@@timtalksanimations9171 apparentley, the undead hands quoted on her card must be the grey legion, not the shadow isles wraiths.
I believe that She will be resurrected as a servant for noxus.
yes but she ended up getting killed by Sion
12:38 "good death" TheBausffs reference lmao
We got the king let gooo chat, solo bolo j2
12:39 "A good death." Sounds familliar😂
well played Yiyi
I genuinely think someone at writing wanted to fit the words "good death" in there as a tribute without making it too obvious
@@randomusername1735 yeah, that's not a coincidence
Wp gg 😁 Joking 😂 We shilling 😎 Solo Bolo 😱
12:41 sion even had "good death" in lore. Baus would be proud
I was excited about this!!!!
Necrit, Sion didnt die against Jarvan in 1 on 1 combat, Sion killed Jarvan battling him and his elite bodyguards and entire army!
Pretty sure noble rebel was a darkwill supporter.
I'm glad you pointed this out
Way late, but sion was 1 on 1 against jarvan after taking out his entire army alone and leaving him for last so you’re both right
Crimson circle kids: We are the cool kids
Echo's gang: No, we are the cool kids.
The grey legion: Amateurs
They are not only cool, they are BLOODY cool
@@shurlkr3594 Man, they are also probably into, you know, n e c r o p h i l i a
@@lorenzangeles9626 Is it actually necrophilia if they are bringing them back to life? I'd say it's more like doing it with old people.
I like how even the background characters have lore in all of the cards
The card art and the voice lines make it feel like the story is unfolding while we play it’s pretty cool
@@morrissuah9587 yeah and add your imagination while playing
more lore than shaco haha
@@klober7366 shaco’s mask is actually in the black market merchants card. Interesting to see what they do with his lore.
I love that the cards complement each other and if you examine each one of them, they connect together forming a whole story just like Caitlyn's cards telling the lore of C.
I'm glad they're starting to expand on Noxus again. It's always been my favorite nation in League lore.
X2
Noxus and demacia are my favourite
Lol Noxus' expansion is inevitble, it is their only purpose after all!
Same, demacian justice ain't interesting because it is predictable and noxus has more fun lol
Was literally hoping you'd cover this yesterday, big on the lore but I dont play LoR only League
Oh, same. I feel so guilty since I used to play LoR too. Necrit keeps me up to date
what are you waiting for get in
Same
I would play lor but it's so confusing to me
@@yvsdaddy6662 you got tutorials and challenges, do them
This is really cool, I'd like to see if they are the mages of the noxian military in opposition to demacias mageseekers. Maybe even being demonised by the demacian general population as the example of evil magic.
Not only that in the Galiu lore it's shown that they capture enemy mages and sacrifice them to awaken Galius he doesn't like it but it was the hole reason why he has so much respect to Sion both are weapons used against their will hey wait a minute is Galiu now the hound and Sion the mountain
Galio could step on Sion
@@chosenofkhorne2951 Oh a Khorne Berserker is in the comments. Anyways, Blood for the Blood God!!!
@ John D BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD SKULLS FOR THE SKULL TROON
Imagine if they reveal Kayle and Morg too to turn the tides of war, except Kayle cuts down both sides (from someone starved for canon Kayle content)
Me before Sion in LoR: "Ehhhh Sion's kinda boring? I mean, he's just a tank who hits stuff really hard and has an AoE stun."
Me after Sion in LoR: "I believe in Grey Legion supremacy."
Imagine them accidentally messing with mordekaisers armor.
His armor(body) is not complete, his body was split into different places so he couldn't be revived. His head is in the shadow isles from what i remember.
@@smittywerben1849 thats old lore, now leblanc hides it in the deepest bowels of the immortal bastion, and morde is building an army in the realm of death he built, mitna rachnun. he is pretty close to coming back acually, and plans to, and leblanc knows it, hence she is shit scared and trying to find anything to slow him down if he does. it'd be so funny of the reason he comes back is actually them just fucking with stuff they shouldn't and undoing themselves lmao
@@rexhilverstone7154 Their final token against Mord also escaped Noxus and is actively trying to destroy them too :')
I hope someday we get kindred absolutely shitting on Noxu's armies of the undead because they are pissed Noxus took them back.
I think the soldier he crushes as Sion returned is the radiant guardian, because the spear/lance and the hair is the same.
Well that makes the thought of her head getting popped like a grape just a little bit sweeter ☺️
13:36 that was the radiant guardian card, she has the same weapon
The radiant guardian was fighting in Shadow Isles tho, not in Demacia.
@@pemo4228 This card just confirmed she did survive SI but now dead to the hand of Sion.
@@ThiccChoncc Daym that's rough for her. RIP
Dammit, everytime necrit mentions mordekaiser my hope meter for lore progression jumps a little.
I know man I’m right there with you
Really like this new style of going through the cards lore. Great job necrit and thank you for explaining things im too lazy to read
Hey necrit I know you've been posting alot lately and I really appreciate that ! I love all your content ❤
Me, taking a break from studying, going to youtube.
Necrit : Who are the grey legion ?
Me : Well,well lets find out
I think Swain is aware of what LeBlanc is doing. As sneaky as she is, it's kinda difficult to not notice a zombie warlord trampling Demacian strongholds. Swain is also empowered by a demon that allows him to detect secrets. I firmly believe Swain knows what's going on and is planning some way to make sure LeBlancs plans don't harm Noxus.
Cutting between the two cards with the Demacian arrow, was some clean editing, nice
I love these LoR lore videos keep em coming necrit
Thanks for the awesome videos Necrit. Without the lore I wouldn't be playing and without you I wouldn't know the lore.I hope you still enjoy making these videos as much as I enjoy watching :)
Swain knows everything. What's scary is why is he passive? Or worse, he's been planning something from the shadows all along
Swain knows everything and thats why he needs time to plan all the time he can get cuz he knows Mordekaiser know Le Blanc was going to kill him and let it happen so he can go to his death realm Swain knows Mordekaiser was planing something big when he died and now his in the death realm where Swain can finde out what his going to do next he needs to let Le Blanc do what shes doing shes hes beats hope against Mordekaiser. You have to look at it like this you know almost everything there is this guy how was planing something big for a long time you dont know what his doing when he is doing it all you know is he is coming and you need to be ready but again you cant let your nation fall a part Noxus needs to keep growing Swain cant let all of Noxus just go to stop ing Mordekaiser since he doesnt know if Mordekaiser will come in his life time but if he is not ready then its all over so he needs to split his forces his time... his trying to build up Noxus but well one day Mordekaiser will come and when that day comes all Swain, Le Blanc, Vladimir... have been doing over the years will be put to the test.
@@perapapic3683 Well said, Mordekaiser is a force to be reckoned with
As usual, great vid papa Necrit :) just wanted to mention a small detail, I’m not sure if u missed it or if I just misunderstood the text:
in the Grave Physician’s flavor text, a young noblewoman “with blood blackened by betrayal” is mentioned, I assumed the blackened blood meant that she was dead, making her the “would-be traitor” shown in the Noble Rebel card
I would guess that the Lady of Blood brought the corpse/dying body of the Noble Rebel to Dr Esslanger, and she was his first revived patient, hence it is referenced as the moment when he “truly started serving Noxus”
I don't know if other people already pointed it out, but the Blonde lady seen crushed beneath Sion Returned's foot is the Radiant Guardian
Sion's cards are just amazing!
Damn I'm glad LoR is expanding the Lore
Yeah. Salt really motivates me to fight in League of Legends too.
the lore on these cards is awesome. Thats why i like the game so much, its filled with history.
Sion did not kill Jarvan the second, he killed Jarvan the first.
@@terminateboy4714No, it's in his bio
I always love your lore reviews, but there is one thing I would love to see you do, and that is at least look over "The man with the grinning shadow" because the way you speak about the lore and tell the stories is just great, maybe look a bit into the High Noon universe too?
5:32
I think Noxis use thid like motivation, i imagine this person thinking "if i dont fight good enough, this is going to happen to me?"
Loved the video as usual, you never fail to deliver all the cool details and info but i should note because I was hoping you'd mention it but isn't the person Sion is going to crush the Radiant Guardian? because they are identical the only thing missing is the cape. If it is her poor thing imagine escaping the expedition to the shadow isles only to be crushed by Sion
I was sad that Sion and Lady of Blood didn't had any interactions with Leblanc :< I really hope we gonna see more of The Grey Legion and Black Rose as a whole, the most interesting lore
Mordekaiser should be really pissed that everyone is either not dying due to the black mist, noxus reviving fallen soldiers. Man can't make his own death realm in peace.
The Rebel card probably is the traitor mentioned in the doctor's card discription.
And the nothing mentioned in Sion's card probably is the death realm, right? So, why it doesn't mention Morderkaiser castle?
the moment I see these cards, I immediately ask when will you do a video about them
At first, Sion’s story had aggressive game of thrones undertones. But now that i can see that the Gray Legion can revive the dead en masse, like a forge master, I can see that Sion’s story has aggressive Castlevania undertones.
Hands down my favorite new set of cards, the lore is palpable, and 5he concept is phenomenal, I just wish the cards themselves were just a bit better
For some reason when I look at Noble Rebel it makes me think back to the Sisterhood of War series where Riven killed one of her friends who was once a member of a noble family in Noxus, the fact that the person in the card is covering half of their face as well as the part where the exposed belly was makes me think of it like that.
The Clegane reference at the end! Loved it!
The only thing we lacked in League lore was zombies. Well, now it's complete.
We never lacked that. There are a lot of zombies in runeterra
How the f*ck Demacia is going to stand against this stuff in war (?)
Imagine killing a soldier, only for them to come back to life and running at you again. That would be fucking terrifying
Lazer beams haha
Prolly Kayle?
sion kills more noxian than demacian
just imagine the moment they revive sion and everyone has to flee cuz the moment he wakes up he chooses violence
You're on a roll bro. Keep it up!
@Necrit
the person "Sion Returned" is pushing on the ground is not only featured in another cards background, but as a card itself. The talk is about the "Radiant Guardian".
I cannot think of a connection since this card is shown fighting the undead terrors of the shadow isles.
But i just wanted to mention what i noticed ;)
The woman sion was about to kill is the radiant guardian, you can see it because of her spear and the way she looks in her card
Sion has his own entourage of zombies because of course he does.
When does Kled show up with a ton of confederate Yordles for his expansion?
MMO team: We need zombies for the MMO.
Lore team: already on it...
but with a twist though, not the ghouls, but highly militaried troops of undead
@@iHaveGrudgeAgainstUT for now...
Dr. Esslanger and Dr. Mundo could be an interesting encounter lorewise.
It is amazing the depth of the lore is reaching in some regions like Noxus.
With every new card in LoR I get more and more excited for a League universe MMO
8:10 I’d like to point out that there are crows in the Nobel Rebel’s background. It’s my understanding that she was a spy/conspirator against noxus and swain obviously discovered her, she was subsequently executed and resurrected to fight for the nation she was against.
"A corpse should be left well alone."
-Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower, Bloodborne: The Old Hunters DLC
his roar of the slayer quote is also a quote in league itself when he kills units
Necrit makes me wanna start playing LOR for the lore content
Do it.
Yo Necrit, how much you wanna bet the next big lore event is noxus suddenly expanding over the nation's a t much faster rate due to the Grey legions revival magic. But then thresh brings back mordekaiser and mordes just like "yo bro thanks for the free army"
NECRIT. new PENTAKILL video. GOGOGOGOGOG
I’ve been running up ranked with team Hemomancer kids and Targon healing. SO GLAD we’re getting more cards for them!
Unfortunately the crimson gang and the grey legion have no synergy at all.
So reviving the fallen Lich King style but with a crimson twist. Nice.
Lor is by far the most good source of lore in league, this game have a hope to answer many of our question about runaterra.
Oh waow, they literally made the revived minotaurs salty in order to get them to wreck stuffs
I thought the person whose blood was blackened by betrayal could have been Elise, after her husband disfigured her.
Lols story with the ruination is pretty much fame of thrones and the Grey legion instantly reminded me of GoT as well but I don't mind it it's a great universe for complicated stories
There is also a new Ionia card that features Ahri and what looks to be a member of her species, plus we now know where Poros come from thanks to the Proto Poro.
I don't think that Swain doesn't know, I just don't think he sees this as the right moment to try and stop it
Swain knows everything, he may as well know about this and be planning something
Noxus is getting too op
This is amazing I hope you will look on veigar's card too and his followers and btw he don't have a interaction on lulu dow strange
Going off name alone it sounds like the retirement club for old people in noxius
I think the Noble Rebel card is the noblewoman in question by the Grave Physician card. I think she was taken to him so Dr. Esslanger could learn how to 'use' the resurrection magic.
This might be a teaser for a future second invasion of Ionia?? Now Sion is oficially (in the lore) revived and weaponized by Noxus, so a possible invasion of Ionia as a summer event just like the ruination is not unlikely. That way they can make canon the only part of the awaken cinematic that is not yet canon. The cinematic had 3 parts, Jhin vs Camille (canon since the release of Zed's comic), Draven vs Riven (Canon since the story sisterhood of war and the ruination) and the third part was Irelia, Akali, Karma, Yasuo and Kennen fighting Sion.
Didn't he kill J1 instead of J2?
The noble rebel was a Noxian conspirator that was was slain and revived. He's an example of what happens to traitors, causing Noxian nobles to be loyal to the empire.
Even the descriptions know that Sion has good deaths in the spirit of thebausffs
I love that they gave level 2 Sion description a "Gud Deff"
And now is the time for war of the clon... I mean undead in a far far away galaxy in Runeterra. I'd love to see how shadow isles undead would interact with hemomancially ressurected enemies.
I think it can procide because there are magnats among them with so much power in their hands that swain cant do antyhing
the lady that is crushed by Sion is actualy the Radiant guardian from LoR
I think it’s cool how Ophelia is in the shadow of her mother
The grey legion already has realy good mmo material, like an subclass of a warrior that u can pick if u pick the grey legion path and get to be a warrior using blood magic or summ
*Mordekaiser:* "I would almost envy you.. and yet also pity you..."
thats either a toothpick javelin or an arrow , probably the second one
This is like Kabuto reviving a bunch of random people to fight in a war
The Grey Legion's budget: Armour, weapons, repairs, possibly transportation... and a whole lot of salt, lots of salt
I think my favorite subtle part of this expansion is how it confirms the overlap between Noxian faction. Sion is confirmed to be currently under Swain’s control but he and the Grey Legion are maintained by the blood mages affilliated with Black Rose
There might not be enough lore about it, but it would be cool to see a "Who's winning the Second Demacian-Noxian War" video.
Demacia might have pushed back Noxus in the first war, but their insistent view halts their progress. Noxus, on the other hand, delves in darker and darker magic (as we can see here) that rapidly increases their military strength.
I was waiting for this
I feel like necrit has done more to promote Legends of Runeterra than any other youtuber.
Baus is in the lore as "good death". Truly a society we live in
finally my main gets some thing beside getting stomped in top lane!
@Necrit, that person on the Sion Returned card is the Radiant Guardian.
Based on the sword the woman getting decked by Sion seems to be the Radiant Guardian
I assumed the "young noble woman" who had her blood blackened by betrayal is reference to the Noble Rebel Card that is also from the Sion set, who was plotting a conspiracy but was caught and then the Grey Legion turned her into a monster to unleash against her co-conspirators.
Edit: I also thought Sion killed Jarvan I not Jarvan II. Also isn't it still as of now canon from sion's story on Universe that Swain DOES know about Sion and has even spoken to him and walked around with him after unleashing him on rebelling areas.
