Darius picking up the frozen axe is way cooler than most people think it is at first. It's effected by what's called "True Ice" which freezes anything and everything it touches. So Darius wielding it he essentially sacrificed his whole arm in the brief moments he used it. Also if you enjoyed this and Arcane, I'd highly recommend watching Necrit's recent lore video, he explains a lot of what this trailer is about.
Feel bad for the Arcane fans not realizing how much of a feat it is for Darius to pick up something imbued with True Ice and live. His arm is fucked tho.
As an Arcan fan, that's actually super cool to know! I didn't know it was "True Ice" or whatever, tho I did assume Darius's arm was fucked lol. Always fun to learn new lore things
@lldrumr9095 is true, but Riot has been on a retconning spree as of late, so who knows. Technically, Cait is missing an eye in the current timeline. So there's no telling. Even old man Yasuo is canon adjacent.
@@brodee5 i dont think Riot would make such a retcon for a 3 minute music video. For arcane like Viktor, Jayce etc etc, its a lil different cuz its a whole series of its own, so theres more motivation to change stuff. The old man Yasuo thing its fine since its in the future so it doesn't really change anything, but to make Darius lose his arm while young, would be INSANE. His comics would go to shit. I think he probably just recovered (Insane feat i know)
Sorry but there are way worse things. And yes there are still scientists in Noxus. in the future they even employed singed to blow up a temple in Ionia.. but that's another story.
@@stargoblin4163 Also, Singed is still around, and in previous lore, although maybe not now with the advent of Arcane, he DOES do work for Noxus after he's done in Piltover. But, we might get a retcon on that, since Arcane also changed a lot of what we used to have for the lore of Runeterra as it is.
I'll be the lore guy; Arcane is set in the recent past, Arcane season 2 ends as Swain's coup in Noxus is fast approaching. Darius is skinnier because this is a younger Darius when Boram Darkwill sent him north to the Freljord, this is happening at a similar time to most of the events in the trailer EXCEPT for the Katarina part. The Katarina part happens in present day, we know this because of her daggers and the skin line this skin is a part of. She gained her ability to shunpo in the Katarina comic which happens close to present day. The skinline story is Swain ordering the hit on the random Black Rose guy that Katarina kills. The skinline contains Ezreal and Renata Glasc which according to the Necrit post Arcane interview are new gen Piltover and Zaun characters that "become relevant" in a sense after the events of Arcane. In the trailer Katarina is fighting Elise who is part of the Black Rose and the one hosting that event. Elise has a deal with a spider god hence her spider stuff. Mel in the trailer has a vision where she is fighting Grey Legion soldiers and some hemomancers. The Grey Legion are zombies created through blood magic, and Vladimir is at the head of all blood magic related affairs in Noxus. LeBlanc and Vladimir are the heads of the Black Rose. Their ultimate goal is to prevent the return of Mordekaiser (a previous ruler of noxus who is now effectively a god of death who wants to return and conquer the world). Knowing they can't keep Mordekaiser away forever, they are trying to make the world (in particular Noxus) ready for his return. Noxus is an expansionist empire previously ruled by a the dictator Boram Darkwill who I mentioned earlier, he was being manipulated by LeBlanc. Concurrently the invasion of Ionia is happening where Swain almost died during. Raum the raven we see at the end of Arcane comes to Swain and provides him knowledge as Raum is the demon of secrets. Swain does a coup in Noxus with the help of Katarina's father among other people. Swain sets up new leadership in Noxus with 3 leaders representing the 3 Noxian values of Vision, Might, and Guile. Swain is Vision, Darius becomes Might, and based on what they are doing with Mel it is believed that she will be the Guile. One last fun fact: Trundle's weapon is made of True Ice which only Iceborn can wield, anyone else who tries will die, so it is really impressive Darius could hold lift his now frozen axe long enough to get the KO in. I can probably go into further details, but I'll leave that to if anyone has questions.
but darius didnt touch trundles weapon. he touched his corrupted weapon. necrit has come out and said this. the thought is its like true ice light. same effects but not on the same level of true ice. if his axe was true ice he would have died but since it was a weaker version he was able to hold it as long as he did.
@@zerodawn09 I never said Darius' weapon was covered in True Ice though. I only said that his axe was frozen due to Trundle's True Ice weapon. That said I understand how my wording lead you into thinking that's what I meant.
@@HydraneousHadokenPent-Striker yea i can see how you tried to do this but to let you know there are others worse than yours and even some strait up saying darius touched a true ice weapon. even look at the responce to me. both you and me says darius touched his weapon and they say but it is a true ice weapon. this is why im posting. the "darius touched true ice" narritive is going around and it needs to be fixed.
This cinematic is a bit of the past lore but mostly a teaser. The next show they make is 99% going to be in Noxius. When that man(Darius) was fighting the troll, it is about 20 years ago from present time in league of legend’s lore.
the first 4 minutes are for the Game but the last end credit scene could be a hint for the next show. ..and yes Arcane is the new lore of League of Legends
The story of Arcane is over, but the story as a whole is ongoing, think of it as like Avatar, every story Arc was considered a "book" and we have finished the first book Arcane, now we move on to book 2, Noxus.
I'm still trying to figure out if that last symbol was what I thought it was. Because if it is, it makes sense why Vladimir would be scared of it. But the implications are potentially catastrophic.
The dagger is a Darkin called Naafiri. That would set us up for other Darkin soon after, like Kayne and Aatrox, which would also set us up for all of Shurima.
@L.W.74 Darkin are old demi Gods that got sealed into weapons...when a mortal picks it up the Darkin inside corrupts its mind controlling and transforming him to its will.
League has a large amount of lore, but Arcane fans can jump on, as the lore is often remade to accommodate more storytelling. League will be aligning its story with Acane, so the latess lore will be most in line. Just dive in, the player base may be toxic, but the lore community is cool.
The overall story of League of Legends is vague, and bits and pieces are scattered throughout small clips, videos, and short stories on the official site. The best example is Arcane itself. We knew Jinx, Vi, and Warwick were related but didn't know how. Or that Vi was an enforcer and also from Zaun but how she ended there we had just speculated as there was no definitive answer. Hell, we didn't even know Vi`s full name is Violate until Arcane. In other words, League of Legends lore is huge, but more than 50% is speculation and deduction. Another factor that makes us a little annoyed is confirmed facts being reckoned with new ones that messes up everything we knew before. This video has the best example with Darius, who is looking young! In other words, what's happening here is a little confusing! Is the fight whit Darius and Trundle in the past as it doesn't add up whit Katarina working under Swain as Swain was not in power yet! But we see LeBlank going on the mural whit the signs of Draius/Mel/Kata/Elise at the same timeline. So everyone just speculated and had not confirmed yet not even half of this video and the lore behind.
Swain was in Power maybe not as the Pillar of Vision, but surly as the main General of the Capital. Kataraina is an Assassin, so she would take the Job if the Coin is right. And yes Riot stated in Reddit that this is an old Event. Darius is at the Edge to Frejlord Territory here, trying to conquer Frejlord Land like he did many times before that. My guess this Scenes or the whole series in Arcane is BEFORE the invasion of Ionia.
The story isn’t vague. You just have to actually read the short stories, novel/comics and play the rune Terra games. Most people don’t. They hear voice lines from the games.
First of all, its not arcane. Arcane is based in piltover/zaun and this series will be based on noxus, but they're connected in some way. Second of all, it's definitely not coming this winter. If they actually making a good story progression, they will take time. Obviously not 10 years because fortiche has way more people now and they're more experienced than before
@@Nursultan-r2d2 I can guarantee it's not coming this year, we'd be lucky if it's next year. It's only been in production for about a year. It took them 3 years to get from S1 of Arcane to S2 so I'd expect around the same time frame since they have all the technical stuff figured out now.
I recommend either watching or reacting to some necrit videos. I hate league, but I always watch his videos because he explains the lore whenever Riot releases something.
If you wanted to really check out the story around all this, there is a whole rabbit hole with some really good videos from the channel Necrit, explaining and telling all kinds of stuff about the lore since forever ago.
To be honest, they are literally destroying the original lore from League since Arcane 1st season. However, I don think that is for the worst. They are doing it pretty decently. I guess we will have to wait for more development, since they literally banished some really important characters from their lore existence with Arcane

Welcome home Mel there are no nerd scientists here I think you'll miss them

Actually, Singed is the responsable for the chemical bombs used in Jonia ☝☝🤓🤓
No? How about the "experiments" with the Grey Legion?

so current jinx is like 30 smthn?
@@clarencesiason8349 possibly, because Darius in game is about 45 years old and he's definitely older than jinx and vi
Just to explain, the spiderform from elise is her Ultimate in the game

The League game is not canon. It is similar to super smash bros, that game is not canon to the characters in it either
These are new stories. The story of League is kinda sh*t, so arcane retconned it, and now we're being given a new story.
To be honest, they are literally destroying the original lore from League since Arcane 1st season. However, I don think that is for the worst. They are doing it pretty decently. I guess we will have to wait for more development, since they literally banished some really important characters from their lore existence with Arcane
