I finally read the Lux comic, and why didn't anyway say that Lux wasn't going to save Sylas' life at his execution! That really recontextualizes everything I've vaguely heard about Lux and her story. I always assumed that Sylas was going to be executed because Demacia made him serve a sentence before carrying out the death penalty when he accidentally killed 3 people when he was like 12. Turns out Tianna Crownguard (Lux's aunt) had his execution arranged just to avoid SUSPICION that Lux was associating with him. On top of that, some other Crownguard (I think Tianna's husband) arrested Sylas when he was a kid.
I have no idea if the writer thought about the comic as a story of agency and how class affects your ability to execute that agency. You've got people like the Crownguards, a noble family of such wealth and prestige that practically no one can turn down their requests. Despite all the power they wield they don't really help anyone except themselves, and that includes Lux. Lux is so afraid of being exposed as a mage and bringing shame to her family that she doesn't do anything of substance for the shared plight of mages.
Meanwhile you've got Sylas, lowborn as can be, and who's had majority of his life at the mercy of Demacia's unjust laws actively fighting to wrest control over his life even if he has to steal other's agency. Sylas doesn't wait for Lux to save him in a way that matters, because she won't. He chooses to save himself and all the other imprisoned mages when he knows no one else will. Sylas' actions expose Lux as a mage to society, and while the walls close in on her, Lux finally chooses to take action and help her fellow mages. The story sounds far more interesting if the framing and execution of if all wasn't... very typical of Riot writers.
#league of legends#luxanna crownguard#sylas lol#there's some cosmic nonsense going on between the crownguards and sylas#this family has managed to both condemn his life and save it#but even then lux didn't willingly save him sylas stole her magic and saved himself#i also read other lux stories and yh... he was gonna die#i know the way lux's secret status as a mage and the expectations of her family status isolate her serve as a parallel#to sylas's solitary confinement for 15 yrs... but it's solitary confinement#and what's with the choice to have lux defend demacia to sylas... while he's still in solitary confinemen#lux has worse foot in mouth syndrome than caitlyn honestly#tianna crownguard

Dark Star Sylas (Legendary), Kai’Sa, Yorick, Zoe, and Dark Cosmic Diana (+ Prestige)
these splash arts are so so beautiful
i personally think it’s difficult to make sylas skins look good in game but the animations at least look nice
as for the others…

The Arcane fandom seems to be struggling with whether or not any of the characters are good people and to put it simply: No, most of them are probably not good people.
But I like introducing others to league of legends lore so here's more characters from league that have complex morals in their backstories. When Fortiche begins work on the next show I have no doubt in my mind that there will be even more endless debates and name calling ensuing since League of Legends has a shocking amount of "problematic faves" in its roster.
1. Garen Crowngaurd
He looks like a generic white man in armor with a big sword. When I saw those debates about whether or not Jayce was a good guy or not for shooting and killing Viktor, I kind of already knew that this fandom is definitely not going to be able to handle mr. "I need to be constantly stressed and worried about my life in order to function" over here.
Garen's issue is that he's a loyal knight for a nation that is very, VERY racist against mages and people who use magic in general. And his sister is a mage. He has always known this deep down, but has been suppressing the knowledge of it because the stress of worrying about it keeps him going anyways (weird guy, i know) and even though he KNOWS he's imprisoning people just like his sister, he is too loyal to Demacia (the kingdom they're from) to stop his servitude. So he is a "good guy" who hunts mages to either imprison them or kill them (if they "resist" too much), and he knows his sister is a mage but doesn't want to quit his whole knight job. (it's more complex than that but you could read more here on the website)
2. Sylas
If we ever get a Demacia series that's animated, I already know that everyone and their mom will just make thirst edits of this man and his "inspirational" quotes about revolution and stuff. Meanwhile, they'll excuse all his abhorrent behavior, crimes, and abuse because he's fighting back against an oppressive regime so he must still be a good person despite all of that! (he is not)
Sylas is a mage who was imprisoned in Demacia and has been kept in prison for a long time after he was wrongfully accused of killing someone with his magic. Ever since, he's been in prison plotting for a way to get out. He does escape, hence the name "The Unshackled".
While Sylas' motivations are pure in that he wants to live in a Demacia where mages aren't persecuted against for just having magic...he kind of has a very violent way of going about it where he not only imparts violence on random non-mage civilians, but also forces other mages to do violence as well. He's cool and I do like Sylas, and his story is a complicated tale about revolution and particularly about the use of violence to free yourself, but is he a "good" person? Eh....its up to interpretation in my book (he's probably not a good person lol)
When I saw people debating on whether or not Caitlyn was a "fascist" or if Viktor was a "Eugenicist" I couldn't help but think the Arcane fandom wouldn't be able to really handle a "true" revolutionary like Sylas who just wants freedom by any means necessary and the moral implications of that in his story.
Sylas not only has a short story and bio that you can read here but there's also a really good game that Riot made called The Mageseeker where you can play as him and meet the other Demacia characters.
3. Sejuani
Sejuani is the "Warmother" of a clan of viking(?) people named the Winter's Claw. She's also my favorite Freljord character because I find her way of surviving in the Freljord interesting. Sejuani's issue or moral quandry is that she is whole heartedly all for raiding and pillaging other villages and small settlements to survive the harsh winters of the Freljord, and doesn't see anything really wrong with killing people who are weaker than her if it means the people closest to her can survive.
Despite all of this, you still get the sense that she's not a "terrible" person because she still cares about all of the men, women, and children in the Winter's Claw (it's just fuck everyone else in her book lol) Sejuani used to have a "sister" (they weren't really blood related but they still have a somewhat sisterly bond anyways?) who is most definitely the reincarnation of a dead Freljord Goddess/Queen (long story)
Anyways, her and her sister had a falling out because they couldn't agree on the way to get resources for everyone in their clans. Ashe wanted to start agriculture and farm life in the Freljord, where as Sejuani thinks just taking shit from other people is the fastest and surest way. Sejuani is interesting to me because her view on violence is one that's pretty straightforward but not set in disdain towards the other people she pillages. Like, she doesn't do all of this stuff because she hates people, she's doing it because she truly views violence as the only way to get what you need, and as long as she's doing it for a good cause, which is to clothe and feed the many people of the Winter's claw, than there's nothing to really worry about.
If you were one of those people who were really wondering if "hm maybe Ambessa had a point...?" then you're in luck because you'd probably really like Sejuani too T_T You can read more about her here.
4. Viego
If there was a contest for THE problematic king of League of Legends it'd be Viego. He looks cool and is most definitely a villain but a lot of fans can't really seem to wrap their heads around it. Viego's story is that he was a king of a really cool nation, and he fell in love with a Seamstress named Isolde. Cut to a few months later, and she died (rip) and this made Viego SO upset and heartbroken that he quite literally used dark magic to bring her back, but it caused something called The Ruination.
He wanted to bring Isolde back to life, but the process of doing that means he quite literally is bringing about the end of Runeterra completely. His kingdom fell first and became the Shadow Isles, which is this desolate wasteland where anyone who goes there just dies or has their soul ripped from their body forever (spooky).
If people can excuse Viktor turning everyone into statues forever and destroying the entire world with rune magic, then I don't see why THIS guy can't be forgiven. Plus he's doing it for "true" love :3 (i can't stand him lol)
If you want to read about him there's actually an entire book series about the Ruination that you can read. And you can see more about Viego and his Harrowing in the game "The Ruined King" or you can just read his bio and short story on the website.

LoL Incorrect Quotes #14
Good Cop // Comrade Cop
Caitlyn: Hey, got you a Coca-Cola and a bag of Fritos. Look, we've just trying to have a conversation about what happened today- Sylas: You shouldn't tell us s***. We are not your f***in' friends, okay? Get a lawyer in here. Take care of yourself. You have nothing to lose, but your chains. Remember that. Caitlyn: Uh, yeah... or just, you know, we were just looking at this window of 2 to 3:30 today. There was sort of a loud noise near your appartment- Sylas: I am working here to feed intel to the revolution. You should burn the f***in' place to the ground, but again, keep your mouth shut. Anything you say, this motherf***er's gonna twist it against you. Caitlyn: All right, well, listen. If you cooperate with us, it'll go a long way. We can get you in a much lighter situation overall- Sylas: RUN, MOTHERF***ER, RUN!

Headcanon
Jinx is alive, she went to the jungles of Ixtal and is helping Nidalee battle Qiyana. Maybe one day both will meet coconut (I don't use comrade anymore because I've known people who are so delulu they consider people like Javier Milei a "comrade") Sylas and they will lead a global movement all through Runaterra and everyone will be happy.
Then they will come to Earth and help Palestinians, Congolese, Sudanese, Appalachians, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Venezuelans and everyone who is suffering. The end.
Btw: Can you help Ahlam? His family wants to live peacefully:

The way these two pieces of Sylas media totally fucked with his characterization and made people pass him off as just the extremist villain of Demacia when he is LITERALLY fighting genocide because Riot is too centrist to call genocidal monarchies bad...
#i pray the next Demacia lore update portrays sylas as good/morally grey - mageseeker did good though#considering league's new lore direction that means the recruit isnt canon but the cinematic is (BUT SO IS MAGESEEKER)#league of legends#lol sylas#the mageseeker#sylas league of legends#sylas lol#sylas#riot games
