"My friends turned into stars" That's Rough Buddy.

Me: I didnt understand anything. Necrit will probably explain. Necrit: I have no idea, nothing in the lore even hints at what is happening here.

The question isn’t whether Necrit can keep up with Riot, but can Riot keep up with Necrit

It's really creepy when Zoe is looking at you for 2 minutes straight.

Riot knows they can post whatever bullshit insanely complex lore cinematic they want, because Necrit is here to explain it.

18:50 "Nothing in the lore even hints at what is happening here" Yes there is. When Pantheon died, his constellation disappeared from the night sky. These 2 just ascended Mount Targon and a new constellation showed up. Since the death of an aspect means the disappearance of a constellation, we can assume the emergence of a constellation means the birth of an aspect.

I love how Leona became an aspect because she was extremely nosy, not because of her strength of character. Or maybe the sun likes nosy people. Point being, Leona just wanted to hangout with Diana.

Leona: See this Diana? This could be us but u playin.

Necrit: Leona is trying to help Diana control her powers Diana: randomly activates W Leona: am I joke to you

Ok hear me out. Constellations in Runeterra represent the Eternals (long forgotten deities of Runeterran history that are preserved in the Celestial Realm in the form of constellations and archetypes). These two mortals became deities that represent the union of the Solari and Lunari, they are the new Aspect of the Eclipse. The union of these two halves was fated to happen, the lunari girl saw it in a vision, this was destined to happen. Each aspect is an embodiment of a concept, this cinematic illustrates that a new "concept" has been created (or that a forgotten/dead one has been reincarnated), which most likely symbolizes the union of the two clans (Solari & Lunari). This is foreshadowing the eventual merging of these two clans that will settle thousands of years of conflict. This merging was probably destined to happen in preparation for something greater that requires these clans to join forces. As we know, the Void is like a bubble that is ready to burst, something big is about to happen. I agree that they awkwardly forced Leona and Diana to be in the cinematic, but that last bit shows Diana basically saying "I told you so." and Leona overwhelmed by the truth. Both of them were destined to see the creation/reincarnation of the Aspect of the Eclipse because both of them are leaders in their respective clans that must make the merge happen.

Leona and diana need sleep, their eyebags doe.

The best lore explanation on this channel Necrit: "I just don't know, Targon is swirly. Things happen." Also this cinematic still has more lore than Gragas

Artists: how swirly do you want Mount Targon to be? Riot: *_yes_*

Nobody talks about how the Arbiter got those big metal circles, like the ones that are leading the way to the mountain. Probably the Arbiter threw them down so people know where to climb up. Any thoughts Necrit?

So, the weird thing is in the constellations of the kids it’s very representative of the Cosmic Xayah and Rakan skins. Which makes this all even more confusing.

I’m speculating soraka is behind this and she lead those two to the eclipse to convey a message to both Leona and Diana. As necrit explained in sorakas lore, rather than redesign the people of Runetera on what the celestials intended she’s guiding certain people to the righteous path. This could be the plan we didn’t know about, the two ascended to the stars and created the “eclipse constellation” and the constellation is the message to Leona that the Lunari exist this makes more sense since the celestials used star constellations to convey messages to the people but Soraka did it with a more upfrontal way. This kills two birds in one stone, she saves the solari boy and lunari girl and hopefully unites the people of Solari and Lunari by influencing Leona to collaborate with Diana.

Diana and leona are going to report eachother after this

i think there's also a pretty obvious parralel to be drawn with Leona and Diana and the two kids. literal star crossed lovers kept apart because of their devotion to their fate. signified by the literal cliff between them

I know its probably not the case, but i like to think the relationship between that couple is mirroing what Leona and Diana could be, together as part of the same circle and thats the reason they are gazing at each other not knowing how to make it happen, and also im all in for the gay so....

The fact that Diana just decided to randomly activate her W... i can’t.. i died there 😂

i really want the Arbiter to become a league champion now

Ok, so here are my explanations for some things here: I think 'The Lunari are already here' could refer to Aphelios' sister, Alune, or to the moon itself (aside from, of course, Diana). I agree with the reason Necrit gave for why Leona is chasing them. The best thing I can think of as to why Leona didn't burn the arrow (other than them needing a reason for Diana to get mad) is that the moon is blocking the sun, and so her powers are dulled/nullified temporarily. I think what happened to the Solari boy and Lunari girl is similar to how Alune was able to cross into a temple in the spirit realm during a special occurance involving the moon (when the physical and spiritual reflections of the moon aligned), just in a lesser way. When Alune crossed over, the entire temple crossed into the physical realm, and she went back with it into the spirit realm. It could be possible that the solar eclipse, since it was a lesser event, wouldn't allow structures to cross, but still allowed them to cross. It could also be that the solar eclipse allowed Alune, who normally requires a conduit such as the noctum Aphelios drinks, to project her power and help them cross over, or just to form the path. Oh, and I think the two figures in the sky kind of mirror the idea of Aphelios and Alune: "...their souls brushing across the veil, distant, yet impossibly close, converging into something they could not understand."

Leona and Diana: are in the same place, not locked in combat. Pantheon, who wants the gods within them gone:

The twilight: "look at this annoying irritating little piece of....why not make her immortal"

I dont know why but I feel like the lovers represent leona and diana. Who were torn apart by their own two contrasting faiths. They probably loved each other at one point and when they met it actually looked like they missed each other.

I just wanna pointed out that when the Solari boy and lunari girl stepped onto the stairs of heaven (or whatever)she was fine,so my speculation is,two of them fell from the mountain and killed themselves. It was their souls that was set free....

Leona wasn't there when the 3 guards showed (in the Diana scene) because she just stylishly walked up to the mountain.

I like how a LoR card without any description has more lore than Gragas

19:44 diana and leona saw each other Leona look at diana Diana says:i told ya lunari fate exists Leona:[mindblowing]

Targon Lore is really lit. It's the region who has the most potential lore wise.

Who came here after Riot release that leona diana ship is canon?

"because they still like each other" they want to smooch

Necrit daddy, Taric reveal just came and on the early part of the showcase there's the constellation in the Targon region reveal (they really are representing the aspects)

It's interesting coming back to this especially around the 13:50 mark, knowing that Leona and Diana were in a relationship, so it was likely leona was starting to doubt the Sun's followers' righteousness and hesitated in case she made a mistake. Probably also saw themselves in the boy and the girl in some way.

The constellations are how the Celestials try to communicate with the humans. So this "magical eclipse"s purpose was to give humans a message, and seeing how a lunari and a solari joined to make a whole circle, it probably hints at how they will (or should?) Join forces in order to become whole

I think this cinematic shows that slowly leona and diana are trying understand each other now and that something big will happen that will cause the lunari and solari to fight together against something else

One day we will get Darkin cards and on that day Necrit's mind will explode

*one second of the cinematic passes* Necrit: So here we can see 30 different things that are important to the lore

After Tarics reveal in LOR, i am sure the two lovers turned into one aspect (my guess they became the aspect of faith). Every constellation for the Targon reveal represents an aspect, proved by Tarics reveal trailer. Another interesting part is, that the Targon trailer shows 7 constellation, but we only know 6 aspects, who are also champions in LOL (maybe 7 if u put Morgana and Kayle as two sepperate identities, but i think thats not the case). So the only Aspect lore-wise known and not being a champion is the aspect of the wanderer. If we will get a new unknown character as aspect, it would be very dope.

Me : waiting for a vid explaining the cinematic from necrit . NECRIT: I HAVE NO IDEA

Footprints isn't that strenge, because it's mount Targon. There is a lot of rocks, but also a lot of dirt, soil, etc. Small particles of dirt and soil can be transport with wind, so flat rock surfaces will be full of dust and sand.

I thought Aurelion Borealis was the only video regarding the latest cinematic we would get.

Riot: Makes a 3 minute short Necrit: It's free real estate

So you are telling me a girl became a demigod just by throwing a ball and laughing at it.

Childhood friends?! Diana and Leona we're supposed to be lovers

19:30 When Diana and Leona realized that they were side characters be like...

"it look's like they're going to fight, but they didnt. because since they were childhood friends, they still like each other" LMFOAJSOSBSJSNSS NECRIT

I'm confused to way did he pull out the arrow from her literally even in ancient times people knew that's the last thing u want to do because ironically the arrow actually slows down the bleeding

i've been waiting for this video the entire day, thank you for all the work you've done during all those years

So sun is dry like her eyes and moon is shiny the eye is covered by shadows

Diana looking at Leona thinking "it could have been us, but you're too afraid". The two lovers in the cinematic clearly represent Leona and Diana. And I think they just become the constellation, the lovers constellation, which is the same as Xayah and Rakan splashart for the Cosmic skinline.

League: Really sad story about two lovers that can't be together Necrit: Your lack of lore displeases me.

Necrit: sleeping Riot: *releases cinematic* Necrit: Real shit

Necrit: Targon is full of swirly bits. Me: Yeah, a lot of titan heads would go great here.

No one is going to talk about the sexual tension between Diana and Leona?

Me: *After Watching the Vaulted Road cinematic* Hmmm...if my intuition is correct, I will have an explanation from ye ole papa Necrit.

"Targon is swirly" -Necrit 2020

If Mr. 200 years was there, this entire cinematic would have been about 12 seconds long

When the kids are in the sky and turn into the constellation, it reminds me of the Cosmic Xayah and Rakan splash art

Was wondering when the video would go up ^_^ Thank you :D

She died and he committed suicide having faith in the moon magic. At least that's what I think. It also ties back into the Romeo and Juliet theme. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My mind when i saw constellations in cinematic: Get stick bugged lol

I knew you would post this cuz i didnt sleep for 2 nights and was staring at notifications

Hi NECRIT I kinda missed ur videos and contents , it always draw me attention and I keep watching again and again your past videos , I hope you Never give up

Why is no single soul talking about that two figures in the sky that is exactly like xayah and rakan cosmic skin splash art :c 18:16

The thing is that those gates at the beginning the "Marus Omegnum ", the one from the "Farewell Ceremony" and the "Thresholds" all have a different meaning which is why in my own video I corrected myself when I regarded that gate as the "Magnus Omegnum", The Magnus Omegnum is the Lunari temple fortress Alune walked into so she could enter the spirit realm and it only shows during special lunar events when the temple literally phases into the physical realm from the spirit realm. IT. IS. HUUUUGE in size when comparing it to this small one. The Omegnum is not anything like the Threshold we see in the cinematic which is just a metallic stone that fell from the mountain like you've mentioned yourself And the Gate in "The Clib" (Farewell ceremony) looks like it has nothing to do with the peak, because in the Farewell Ceremony you dont ascend through the Aurora like they did but wait for a Portal to be opened so one of the aspects could chose their vessel. The lore is still all over the place for me so hopefully they'll update it hahaha

the amount of passive agression and confusion in this video is amazing, i feel your pain.

Man i love the league lore and Necrit's vids but the ending meme, that's what im here for!!

This was a snooze fest till they became a constellation and It looked just like Rakan and Xayah's cosmic skins

Omg I looved when he said "it seemed like they were going to fight but they didn't" all sarcastic like to mock the cliche-ness in the situation.

Not only did Leona have enough time to burn to arrow, the lunari girl had enough time to just get out of the way.

I feel like this would be a better cinamatic for Diana's old lore, since they were enemies and Diana seems in control of herself. I think it's meant to show them that they can work together (perhaps be lovers even) without having to fight eachother.

I wonder if Necrit is actually working undercover at Riot Lore team and he's been bambozling us the whole time with "theories". : ^)

The constellation they make actually seems really similar to cosmic dawn and dusk Xayah and Rakan. Weren’t riot trying to make the cosmic skins canon?

Also the 3 new units arts are telling a short story through the art, Tyari the traveler is the main character and he is grouped with Mountain Sojourner (the woman) and a guy who we still dont know if he will be a card, the 3 are climbing Mount Targon, then in Mountain Sojourner art you can see the 3 are on the sides of the mountains, and lastly in the Arbiter of the Peak art you can see that the Arbiter is pointing/talking to a person and that person is Tyari who is the only one of the 3 that holds a staff in his hands. This means Tyari has ascended the mountain while the other 2 are missing suggesting they have fallen on their tracks, which leads to him ascending to be a new aspect which might also be a card that is still not revealed yet or a future character we might see in the later in stories.

"she could've just burned the arrow using the sun" The solar eclipse: am I a joke to you?

11:24 "stonger than any mortal in the world" Me: *dies in a 2v2 botlane and sees that enemy Leona did 800 damage and the enemy adc did 200*

I think the Myisha storyline will be further expanded on the release of Shurima, they'll probably add lore to Sivir too, what with her lorewise OP "chalicar", which isn't really reflected in gameplay. I really want a Sivir rework, I mean she's the cheapest ADC and you can't even get an S on her no matter how hard you try.

The lore of League is the most underrated thing ever. It's just so complex and fascinating. People should be talking more about this, instead of complaining about game balance all the time. I mean, am I the only one who is really surprised there are barely any videos on the arcane trailer or theories about the series?

The shot of the two kids holding the star looks exactly like the splash art for the cosmic skins for Xayah and Rakan

10:43 Possibly due to clay surface often found in mountain growths environments. As rocks erode/breakdown and same path may have been worn out by many who might have made the journey. 😁. Only speculation. Both Leona and Diana had expression of disbelief, both didn't know what is happening, I assume a prophecy like a vision girl had was coming true. A consalation marking unity between both fractions. If anyone is curious, the ending speeches is episode of Simpsons where Seymour burns roast in preparation for lunch promised to principal charmler and the whole kitchen smokes. 😆😄.

Cinematic „explained“. Necrit: Ye I don’t really know what and why all this stuff happens, but here is some Diana and Leona Lore (Oh and, Swirls!) :D. Still love the video tho

I really hope Riot immortalize Necrit in League, somehow. Either make a character that's him in Legends of runeterra, or refer to him somehow, like a historian Ryze skin or whatever.

It was just so mellow and anticlimactic lol like I wanted more .. rito needs to continue this.

Can't you all see. The constellation is spelling SOS. Its just a fancy O

"Childhood friends"

Can we take a moment to just talk about how the lunari keep getting cool lore stories and powers, and visions and stuff. While all the Solari seem to get is... *Aggressive Photosynthesis*

I swear when I saw that I wanted to know what's going on in the cinematic but necrit didn't upload till now man I love ya

Im dissapointed that Necrit didn't get that lovers died but their souls went up to sky. Thats the reason why girl stops touching the place where she was hurted cuz she is no longer in her body.

Necrit: They still like each other because they're childhood friends. Me: People are gay, Necrit.

Thank you for making these videos!

“Yeah, I don’t know that this is” lol 😂

Daddy Necrit giving us the love we need

Okay but who's your type ? Diana - like Leona - comment

When she meant that the Lunari are already there, she could be referring to the Lunari Spirit Realm Temple, the Marus Omegnum where Alune currently is. Only the gifted in magic are accepted there and she saw a vision so maybe she is some kind of oracle or something? Maybe thats why Leona had to assist the guards in getting her back despite her semi-divinity and Diana ensuring that someone from the Lunari faith crosses the spirit veil safely.

Was waiting for this the whole day, finallyyyy!

Necrit dont like new characters, he most like a historian, if something dont have a history behind it, its not worth it. acording to him.

EEEEEE the lesbian tension in this cinematic between leona and diana is just so amazing..

You know that it's some next level shit when even Necrit can't explain what is going on.

As a Diana main, I was really looking forward to this cinematic. In the previous ones, Darius had an epic speech, Piltover showed bunch of champions as fan service, Braun had a feel good story and here, Diana and Leona are just standing there for recognition, they dont say or do anything...
