Swain's raven Beatrice.

Next Place is NOXUS.

'ARCANE' Co-Creator Christian Linke has confirmed that three new League of Legends shows are in development, with the next one in development for over a year

They will take place in the Demacia, Ionia, and Noxus regions

Who is Swain and how hyped should I be?

ok so a couple of things. apparently this three eyed crow belongs to an LoL character named swain who rules noxus, so this is probably teasing the next show riot's going to produce. given that we also see mel, a noxian character, on a fleet of ships im guessing she's headed home and will also be there in some capacity

secondly, when the crow is poking at the ruins of the explosion something glows blue right at the end. we saw jayce and viktor get sucked into jayce's rune so i do think there's a chance this isn't the last we'll see of those two

Noxus has endured, because Noxus is strong. But the Grand-General Jericho Swain knows there are many kinds of strength—and the greatest leaders of the next age will be those who can wield them all...

"Go spin the wheel, and see where it lands

Join in the circus, stay for a dance

And right when the war quiets down, strike up the band

Keep marching on, my friends

And do what you can..."

I've found new foil for my hat, and by hat I mean the "Mel is Guile" theory.

Look closely at Mel's concept art, specifically at the ornaments around Mel's hips and at the top of the train of her skirt. Do they look familiar? If your answer was no, don't worry, I might have figured it out.

Mel is wearing the symbols of Might and Vision of Noxus' Trifarix!

How am I sure? Well a few years back the Legends of Runeterra art team broke down Noxus' crest and incorporated it into the shape language of the three leaders that represented Noxus' Three Principles of Strength: Might, Guile, and Vision. Two of those three leaders, Swain and Darius, are actual members of the Trifarix, LeBlanc was probably included because Mel wasn't created by then and the devs have been adamant that LeBlanc is not Guile.

LeBlanc tangent aside, the portions of Noxus' crest that form Vision and Might are on Mel's back and hips respectively.

But how do we know that means Mel is Guile on the Trifarix Council and she's not just a Trifarix super fan or something? You probably didn't think the latter half, but the new Noxus map on League did answer the first half.

For League's new Noxus season, they updated their map to include impressions of Noxus' Trifarix Council. We have Darius as Might, Swain as Vision, and Guile whose face us obscured by the grass and flowers because Guile's identity is a state secret from the public.

If you zoom in on Guile, you'll notice there's an arch hovering over their figure, which could be a stylistic choice, but Mel's in-game model was revealed to included a fluttery ballroom shawl that hovers over her, especially when she activates her powers. Could it be a coincidence?

Possibly, but that's only if you don't notice the torso of Guile forms the Medarda diamond too!

Anyway I'll put my tinfoil hat back on the ground and go now.

i love Noxus as a region because it's one of the most well-done things riot has done with their universe. this is a nation that was born under the command of a ruthless man and so it learned to be just as ruthless to survive. it values strength yes, but also bravery and loyalty. noxus is always hungry because it grew up starving and this reflects so well in the narrative that was built and the characters that live there. take leblanc for example, she is objectively a terrible person—she is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. why she does it? because she is scared that same ruthless evil man comes back, because she was under his command; because she knows him. so she wears the evil he left behind. take riven, a character that was molded for war and excelled at it, who never thought about why she did things and simply did them because she's never known anything beyond it. yet she repents, she learns, she grieves, and learns her hands can do things beyond killing. from darius to briar, from cassiopeia to talon, there is such a rich story being told about dominance and censorship and betrayal, but also resistance and brotherhood and vulnerability. i really hope arcane (or its next counterpart) tackles this aspect in the future
