idk i dont want to ruin ur comment but think about this if u are a normal human able to lucid dream vs an ancient old demon with its main focus of power being ur nightmares i think it would be harder to lucid dream if a magical fordce from and ancient old demon is forcing u to have nightmares
I think the words of mister historian man are actually REALLY old, and that nocturne was born in the shadow isles, then used him to actually get to demacia in the first place.
But wait, something doesn't add up here: Jens says he paid transport to Fossbarrow. Fossbarrow was named after Fossian Crownguard, who was buried there after defeating Nocturne at the cost of his life. If Jens was the one to bring Nocturne to Demacia in the first place, the town wouldn't be named Fossbarrow, as a barrow is a form of tomb, which Fossian didn't require until his battle with Nocturne. At the same time, Nocturne stated that he was awakened by the fear of the young boy, Luca, so Fossbarrow should be the place where he reemerged. Also, Jens is a historian from Fossbarrow, right? So on the other hand, had he travelled to the Shadow Isles after Nocturnes attack on Fossbarrow, he should have recognized Nocturnes M.O., which... makes little sense, honestly, unless: The demon of Fossbarrow was not actually Nocturne. The way I see it, it's the only plausible solution. Nocturne emerged on the Shadow Isles because the general aura of fear allowed him to cross over. He infected Jens and was taken to Fossbarrow, where a little boy, full of fear, went to the tomb of Fossian in hope that the legend of the defeated demon would give him strength... which Nocturne abused to pose as this very demon.

@@EldritchMcPie Maybe Fossian killed another one of the demons (future champion?) and then Nocturne felt attracted to the place because of the remnant demon energy, pushing thoughts into Jens mind ?
I like this theory, except for the fact Fossbarrow is supposed to be named after the guy who defeated Nocturne. So unless the name is just mentioned here so we actually know where he went (which is an odd way of doing it) I doubt this is the case.
Necrit, Poros *do* make sense! As i wrote under another vid, when you were asking about how poros breed and if they are immortal, I wrote that in an "Ask Riot" post they confirmed that poros do actually multiply by splitting into more poros. So every time a poro is to fat/big, it just starts splitting into more poros. And you can pretty much say they are the cockroaches of Valoran: They can live everywhere, they are probably almost desctructable (somebody in the post asked how poros taste like, a very cruel person to be exact, and was answered that the person that cooked and ate the poro died from a burst open belly, which small little poros errupted from), and are loved by everyone/feed of love/are somehow created through love. Do not question the poro, believe in the poro.
wait why isnt the world just entirely poros? so maybe that means they havent been on runeterra for super long. so i guess theyre aliens cool. maybe targon beings
@@austeyen5628 that is an interesting question, not sure how or why the poro population is so limited, but I guess you can compare them to tribbles from star trek
Because of Necrit's Valentine Video I explored Wild Rift and found an Icon with Garen's Sword and Katarina's Daggers at its side. Its an icon for a limited event which is still not released on Wild Rift. Maybe if Katarina is released on Wild Rift he will have an Event with Garen that explains what happened in the mystery mission where they had met. So Im excited for the release of Katarina to pretty much confirm the two of them as a couple with that event
@@EldritchMcPie Unless the Demacians attempted to cover it up, there could be a variety of reasons for that, though without a story stating as such, its not cannon
I like to think that Nocturne's haunting of Fossbarrow happened some time before Jens Tommen, and he is a historian who wants to discover what happened to his village by travelling to Nocturne's place of origin, the Blessed Isles. Then, he found Nocturne and his nightmares and died, and the card Pesky Specter shows his spirit
They are on the isles, actually. There was another story about an inn that was specifically for treasure hunters on the isles. The tooth is probably another one of those.
@@saturn587 Not exactly, the lamb is a common interpretation in all of Runeterra, it's just that Demacians worship the lamb because they hope for a peaceful death, whereas Noxus, for example, hopes to die by the Wolf, in battle.
It seems like almost every region has their own world ending force with noxis having morde. bilgewater is the region that is at least mostly affected by the shadow isles with some others also being affected as well. Shurima having zerath and the void. Ryze has the world runes hidden in demacia. Frelijord have the watchers. Ionia are really the ones fighting demons although really everywhere is affected by demons. targon has the celestials that could probably just destroy the world if they wanted. I can't really think of anything for piltover/zaun other than maybe chemical warfare.
Piltover and Zaun have Seraphine. They're suffering the most above all that even the Void (and probably other regions) would want to donate some void dollars to help them overcome that disaster.
What if they would make regionless line of cards? That would be interesting. Some cards that can be put into any deck. I guess there would be not many of them but it is interesting concept to have some creatures that can be found on all of Runeterra or for example Kindred used in that way :)
MTG tried that with Eldrazi. The results were unplayable overpriced garbage cards because "they can be used anywhere!" Or entirely OP cards that every deck color uses because it's too good not to use. I hope LoR doesn't pull that type of crap.
And that would be wrong. He is described as a demon. And even IF we would be desribed as a "shadow", it still would not make sense just because he was a shadow, since he still need to feed on emotions, which is far and few between on the Isles.
Awesome video! I really like the videos where you take a look at the Legends of Runeterra cards! Maybe you could take a look at Tahm Kench's cards as well? I LOVE those! Shows the "deal maker" side of Tahm Kench in an awesome and really fun way :)
You know if someone asked me where Nocturne is in Runeterra, I'd probably answered Shadow Isles. To be fair I'll probably say Evelynn is in Shadow Isles too, even Mordekaiser. Probably because I'm more familiar with the old lore, where everything that's spooky belongs in the Shadow Isles.
I think it's possible that Nocturne was previously in the Blessed Isles (either haunting people there or locked in some artifact then got released during the Ruination). Then, when everyone died, it got stuck there. Until Jenn and the other Whale's Tooth looters went there and got "infected" by Nocturne and his nightmares. Those who survived left the Isles and Jenn ended up bringing Nocturn to his home, Fossbarrow, where Nocturne starts to use as his hunting grounds. That's where we get to the previous stories we had of him.
I think a large number of these nightmare creatures are directly influenced by nocturne's power. They may even serve as his actors in the physical world which have an easier time existing on the shadow isles
i like that they put some live on the shadow isles, i always thought that it was plagued with spirits SO MUCH that nothing would ever live there, practically, the land would be "dead. But i'm happy to know it's not
man i swear You and VaatiVidya have one of the best voices for story telling(even tho ur eng sounds alittle broken it has something unique), ive watched/listened almost all ur vids!
Some problem with understanding text? I mean it is pretty straight forward that historian was stationed on SI for some time and then traveled to Fossbarrow whilst carring Nocturne with him. So it happend a long time ago to keep Lux's story canon.
In the end I feel we have two possibilities of why Nocture is or was in the shadow isles. 1. It felt the suffering of the place that was filled with negative emotions and it was enough to break free from his realm, then went back with the guy to the demacian place (I do not remember the names and how they are written) so it could feast on more negativity, only then to be driven away by lux's ancestor, then the whole thing happens with Lux fighting Nocture. 2. Nocture, once defeated by Lux, hid with the guy that went to the shadow isles and then stayed in the shadow isles since it is a place of suffering for many that enter its shores.
I think it would be great if Nocture was the one that will stop Viego from destroying the world, not out of compassion, but because he will always be able to feed off Viegos fear by replaying the day he lost his wife over and over, just the perfect soul to torment, kind of what Thresh does to the souls in his lantern.
Christ I already feel pity for Ryze for when he has to go collect a world rune from the shadow isles, master arcane mage or not that place is creepy as hell
I’m so glad you finally talked about this, cause tbh I was LIVID when nocturne was added to the shadow isles. Honestly it feels like they cared less about lore than making things simple. Fear and shadowy creatures are already part of the cards for shadow isles thematically. I 100% agree kindred will be made into a shadow isles champ despite them literally hating the undead. It’s something that frustrates me, knowing logically nocturne would fit ionia or demacia, but the game makes more sense to a newcomer if you keep spooky cards together. It’s honestly the same reason they made teemo a zaun card, put poison themed cards together, despite him being literally everywhere, having a forest/jungle scout theme, and also I believe at some point lore used to suggest he picked the mushrooms himself in a jungle? (Maybe even ixtal?)
We know an inn similar to the whale's tooth from the Realms of Runeterra book! At least there was an inn which hosted all the looters who went to the islands, the "Daring Darling", and it was mentioned that there are likely more like it. Possible spoilers for that story: The inn got destroyed tho, when Vlad was there to loot stuff, and willingly sacrificed most of the people there to a harrowing.
Or the dude came to the Isles a long time ago, Nocturne got inside his head, then the guy left to fossbarrow, where Nocturne escaped and Lux's grandfather sealed him away
It’s worth noting from Fiddlesticks’ trailer; one of the Demacian soldiers, Tedric, mentions “the whole country’s on edge after Fossbarrow,” and the in-game loading screen tips mention that Nocturne really fucked up Fossbarrow. In the “present day” of runeterra lore, Fiddlesticks and Nocturne are both currently terrorizing Demacia iirc, so I think these cards are meant to describe this historian carrying Nocturne back to Demacia with him and unintentionally allowing the destruction of Fossbarrow that helped catalyze Demacia’s magophobia and fuel Sylas’ revolution.
Evershade Stalker is a shadow corrupted version of Mumblesprite that is also connected with sleeping since Trevor Snoozlebottom is sleepyhead. You can search the names on Legends of Runeterra.
I think this is after the point when lux defeated nocturne and he went back to a dormant state, otherwise the city of fossbarrow would'nt be mentioned because it was named so when fossian crownguard defeated nocturne, the fact that there is a town named after so is the fact that nocturne came from there most likely. I am not making only speculations here, remember what is haunting fossbarrow right now; Fiddlesticks. demons don't like to share turfs ( it is evident from their interactions in the summoner's rift, evelynn's and tahm kench's) also fiddlesticks feasts on-base fear making whatever nocturne would do would just feed fiddlesticks, so it is best if he moved to another location.
Fun Fact: The Onlooker owl thing was propably inspired by the Stygian Owl, a species of owl that if something bright meets their gaze the eyes turn Red and scary!
My issue with kindred mean in the Shadow Isles is that when you buy the blade of the ruined King oh, Kindred states that it comes from a place where we cannot trread.
I think you're right about Riot putting a champion where he fits best. Tahm Kench is also a demon, so he would fit to wherever you want. But Bilgewater is just the perfect place for Tahm. Perhaps they even plan to spread the demons around in Legends of Runeterra and Demacia is reserved for Fiddlesticks. But that's just a weird thought that popped into my mind.
I dunno if kindred can be from shadow isles. Their voiceline in LoL refers to it as "a land unwelcome to us" (when buying the blade of the ruined king)
11:30 I'm hoping that Kindred gets cards in every region; not necessarily a Kindred for every region, mind, but different sorts of effects/cards for each.
i wonder if demons are fixed in one place completely, like say Nocturne's physical form (or part of it) is trapped as fossburrow but he can still influence were ever he can. this could also explain why the historian was heading for fossburrow, if Nocturne tricked him with his dreams to try and free him
Necrit I don’t think Kindred will be in Shadow Isles since they can’t go there. I’m referring to the voice line when they buy BOTRK “Forged in a land unwelcome to us”
SHURIMA SPOILER: The wrong audios from the Thorny Toad indicate a kindred follower, it mentions masks and we even have a picture for it: a weid looking creature/spirit with lots of masks
I just want to see more expressive interactions from kindred, like their joke in Summoners rift. Not just their plain emotionless quote about death. And kindred way more make sense to be part of demacia imo, cause the default kindred is their representation in Demacia.
I thaught you were gona spoil that Malzahar is coming to Legends of Runeterra. Because Riot made a mistake of giving a card called Thorny toad a actual voice. And there was a lot of speculation that that voice belonged to Malzahar. Since it sounded really similiar
Its like a paranoid, Looking over my back. Its like a whirlwind Inside of my head. Its like i Can't stop what im hearing within, Its like a face inside thats right Beneath my skin!
I think if they have nowhere else to put them, Kindred will be in Shadow Isles since so many of the card mechanics from that region revolve around killing units, even your own.
kinna hope we get the SI version of kindred. like how Spiritblossom is the ionian version. would be a cool way to show us one of their other interpretations
The reason why Noc is in shadow isles is pretty simple - Demacia has no cards to support his playstyle, neither thematically, nor mechanically. Shadow Isles didn't quite fit thematically (aside from all that monster thing), but fit mechanically perfectly, so they made a logical decision to put him there instead of saturating Demacia faction with some shadow demons and spells to support him.
I think since the cards that came with nocturne has a more Orange lights kind of gave it more of a different feel like it was spooky Demacia instead of green shadow isles
My thoughts on this: 1. I actually don't think the beasts from Nocturnes set are the usual hybrid beasts of the isles: They are all seen on Nocturnes card, forming from his darkness. Also, the monsters of the isle almost always have a color scheme of ghostly green and black, somethimes with a blue hue. The creatures that seem connected to Nocturne have red glowing eyes and some of them have a lot more browns to them. The Evershade Stalkers in particular also make no sense as SI based creatures, because while the other creatures, the Duskrider, the Doombeast and the Onlooker *could* be at least replicas of actual creatures the looters encountered and therefore fear now, the Stalkers don't fit the animal-hybrid theme and are more akin to evil fairly tale imps. So I think they are the kind of shadow monsters that Garen fought in Fossbarrow. 2. I do not think Nocturne is the demon of Fossbarrow. It may have used the legend to its advantage, but its claim of being revived by Lucas fear makes no sense: Fossbarrow is named after Fossian Crownguard, who died defeating a demon. 'Barrow' is a type of tomb, so we can assume the town was named after Fossians sacrifice, in memory of a fallen hero. Jens Tommen knew the town as Fossbarrow, so he visited the Shadow Isles after the death of Fossian. Had Nocturne been the demon of Fossbarrow, it should have been dormant at that time, and had it used Jens Tommen to return to Demacia, its claim that it was reawoken by Luca would have been incorrect. Why call yourself the demon of Fossbarrow, only to then lie about how you returned, if not because you aren't the demon of Fossbarrow and just use that story as a cover to hide who you really are? Alternatively Jens could have visited the isles after Nocturne was unleashed in Fossbarrow, but then wouldn't have Tommens quotes shown some sense of recognition for the nightmare power that plagued his hometown? Not to mention his quote mentioning Fossbarrow would then be pointless.
I really wish we would get more information on the Blessed Isles. What happened to turn them? What about its people? Are any potential survivors still in Runeterra?

I am not making only speculations here, remember what is haunting fossbarrow right now; Fiddlesticks. demons don't like to share turfs ( it is evident from their interactions in the summoner's rift, evelynn's and tahm kench's) also fiddlesticks feasts on-base fear making whatever nocturne would do would just feed fiddlesticks, so it is best if he moved to another location.
Fun Fact: The Onlooker owl thing was propably inspired by the Stygian Owl, a species of owl that if something bright meets their gaze the eyes turn Red and scary!
"There shouldn't be anything alive on the Shadow Ilands", he says. Rememberimg the Hauting/Haunted Poro of LoR.
My issue with kindred mean in the Shadow Isles is that when you buy the blade of the ruined King oh, Kindred states that it comes from a place where we cannot trread.
the fact that i thought maokai was a bad guy changed my mind about him when necrit said he's the one that is going to revive blessed isle
Bro. That Nocturne card looks sick. Hopefully
that's what the update for him looks like at some point.
taking an idea from "hardcore leveling warrior" I think nocturnes counter is that he's a dream and all dreams have to end.
Because the Shadow Isles cards have themes of Nightfall of Fearsome, and Nocturne has synergies with both Fearsome and Nightfall.
YES The spoiler is just what I needet finaly more lore for Kindred a champ with so much potenzial.
The ruins might only hold back the mist/shadow isles creatures, but Nocturne's creatures are different.
Just reminder Heacrim getting an VFX Update and getting new event "Shadow of War", maybe related to shadow isles.
I think you're right about Riot putting a champion where he fits best. Tahm Kench is also a demon, so he would fit to wherever you want. But Bilgewater is just the perfect place for Tahm. Perhaps they even plan to spread the demons around in Legends of Runeterra and Demacia is reserved for Fiddlesticks. But that's just a weird thought that popped into my mind.
I dunno if kindred can be from shadow isles. Their voiceline in LoL refers to it as "a land unwelcome to us" (when buying the blade of the ruined king)
11:30 I'm hoping that Kindred gets cards in every region; not necessarily a Kindred for every region, mind, but different sorts of effects/cards for each.
i wonder if demons are fixed in one place completely, like say Nocturne's physical form (or part of it) is trapped as fossburrow but he can still influence were ever he can. this could also explain why the historian was heading for fossburrow, if Nocturne tricked him with his dreams to try and free him
Nocturne there can be only one dream monster I chalange you to rite of rak'shir
Shadow isle are like chernobyl.
Shadow isle: Animals turns into horror
Chernobyl: Mutations
Necrit I don’t think Kindred will be in Shadow Isles since they can’t go there. I’m referring to the voice line when they buy BOTRK “Forged in a land unwelcome to us”
SHURIMA SPOILER: The wrong audios from the Thorny Toad indicate a kindred follower, it mentions masks and we even have a picture for it: a weid looking creature/spirit with lots of masks
That thorny toad audio confused me for like a week straight
@@shockal7269 I was so scared. The first time it happened to me it was very late at night
I like the connection riot manages to do
Please post more often I need my dose 😭😭😭😭
I just want to see more expressive interactions from kindred, like their joke in Summoners rift. Not just their plain emotionless quote about death.
And kindred way more make sense to be part of demacia imo, cause the default kindred is their representation in Demacia.
pogchamp
goddamn keyboard
I thaught you were gona spoil that Malzahar is coming to Legends of Runeterra. Because Riot made a mistake of giving a card called Thorny toad a actual voice. And there was a lot of speculation that that voice belonged to Malzahar. Since it sounded really similiar
Its like a paranoid,
Looking over my back.
Its like a whirlwind
Inside of my head.
Its like i
Can't stop what im hearing within,
Its like a face inside thats right
Beneath my skin!
they will add kindred to shurima because it is the oldest lasting empire since ages, shurima fits the theme more than any other region
No, there are no other leaks for a shadow isles champ so it definitely fits SI
Omg I screamed!!! I didnt know spoiler champ was coming 😯 just as I returned to this game yay
Wasn't the whale's tooth featured in a story with Kalista and Vladimir in the Realms of Runeterra book?
or am i misatributing?
I was actually just thinking that so you may be right
Kindred will be a neutral champion and it could be played within any combination of regions and that sounds sick
I think if they have nowhere else to put them, Kindred will be in Shadow Isles since so many of the card mechanics from that region revolve around killing units, even your own.
It's basically asking why is there shadows in a dark place
How is there a shadow in a dark place
That place (the inn) has its own story in the book. The one with vlad and kalista
It makes sense that nocturne is in the shadow isles there isn't much people are more afraid of than the shadow isles
Poros are literally a universal creature in LOR!
FINALLY this video is here
kinna hope we get the SI version of kindred. like how Spiritblossom is the ionian version. would be a cool way to show us one of their other interpretations
Every Necrit Video is like an early Christmas present
fresh new video
The reason why Noc is in shadow isles is pretty simple - Demacia has no cards to support his playstyle, neither thematically, nor mechanically. Shadow Isles didn't quite fit thematically (aside from all that monster thing), but fit mechanically perfectly, so they made a logical decision to put him there instead of saturating Demacia faction with some shadow demons and spells to support him.
I mised these kind of videos, Thanks Necrit!
The shadow isles is the Brazil of Runeterra
I honestly figured they were just going to make a spirit realm section for all the demons & yordles & idk other jazz
Kinda late for that now. I mean, Lulu and Teemo being in established factions makes it even unlikely we'll get Bandle City.
"Because He's a shadow. " Video ends
The more I watch the more I want to raid the vault in a mmo
8:10 I have a strange feeling about he : what if bcs of nocturn influence he will travel to fossbarrow and actualy free nocturn....
Its pretty sure however that kindred will not be demacia as j4 will be the demacian champion comming in the new expansion
Yesss 00:10 daddy necrit tell me story before sleep. 😅
Thanks for the spoiler warning! Really appreciate it :)
THE KINDRED THING MADE ME FUCKING SHIVER
I think since the cards that came with nocturne has a more Orange lights kind of gave it more of a different feel like it was spooky Demacia instead of green shadow isles
What if Nocturne is Just a Shadow of Zed
My thoughts on this:
1. I actually don't think the beasts from Nocturnes set are the usual hybrid beasts of the isles: They are all seen on Nocturnes card, forming from his darkness. Also, the monsters of the isle almost always have a color scheme of ghostly green and black, somethimes with a blue hue. The creatures that seem connected to Nocturne have red glowing eyes and some of them have a lot more browns to them. The Evershade Stalkers in particular also make no sense as SI based creatures, because while the other creatures, the Duskrider, the Doombeast and the Onlooker *could* be at least replicas of actual creatures the looters encountered and therefore fear now, the Stalkers don't fit the animal-hybrid theme and are more akin to evil fairly tale imps. So I think they are the kind of shadow monsters that Garen fought in Fossbarrow.
2. I do not think Nocturne is the demon of Fossbarrow. It may have used the legend to its advantage, but its claim of being revived by Lucas fear makes no sense: Fossbarrow is named after Fossian Crownguard, who died defeating a demon. 'Barrow' is a type of tomb, so we can assume the town was named after Fossians sacrifice, in memory of a fallen hero. Jens Tommen knew the town as Fossbarrow, so he visited the Shadow Isles after the death of Fossian. Had Nocturne been the demon of Fossbarrow, it should have been dormant at that time, and had it used Jens Tommen to return to Demacia, its claim that it was reawoken by Luca would have been incorrect. Why call yourself the demon of Fossbarrow, only to then lie about how you returned, if not because you aren't the demon of Fossbarrow and just use that story as a cover to hide who you really are?
Alternatively Jens could have visited the isles after Nocturne was unleashed in Fossbarrow, but then wouldn't have Tommens quotes shown some sense of recognition for the nightmare power that plagued his hometown? Not to mention his quote mentioning Fossbarrow would then be pointless.
Wonder if the Shadow Isles card will contain one with soup.
I really wish we would get more information on the Blessed Isles. What happened to turn them? What about its people? Are any potential survivors still in Runeterra?
Couldn't a spectre be a race for the league of legends MMO. Walking around runeterra through sheer willpower 😂
Dark Souls: Praise the Sun!
Legue of Legends: Praise the Wolf!
Becouse it's the furthest away from the real fear. Demacia is pretty distant
