The cresendum represents a fish, you can see the gills, fins and a fish like tail

Celestial Bone: > Deals 250% increased damage on critical hits, increased to 300% on head bonks. > -10% attack speed. > May attract nearby space doggos.

„I have no idea, which animal this statue is representing“ Me: Avatar Feshes go BRRRRH

Necrit’s Lore videos are my bed time stories.

Plot Twist: Elune becomes a playable support character in 2022, and her the bone is her wepon.

Me: Well, Crescendum is represented by Fishes (Pisces constellation). For that reason it comes from the pool. Necrit: We don’t know by what Crescendum represented is. Me: Okay...

Well, The Starbone won't be a weapon. But it's real life lore it's pretty wholesome and sad. Tldr: One of the creators/helpers of LoR lost its dog and the rest of the team decided to make this card as a homage to all the passed doggos.

The Sky shadows are in the classic "koi fish in a pond" position, so I imagine they're fish of SOME kind.

Aphelios: after hours of preparation; lining up the perfect shot to make a kill Alune: haha funny bone

Having a Celestial as a pet is the Pro Gamer Move

noone: Aphelios’ weapons: i have more lore than malphite

The starbone isn’t anything to do with the lore, it’s because one of the dev’s dogs died (the dog who the messenger was based on) hence the tribute in the card

Aphelios will have new R: some thing like Orn or Fizz when je throw The space bone and The SPACE DOGGO come

IMAGINE THIS THO: lore skin for new udyr where he travels to targon, and his stances are representing the gods (tiger,ram,bird etc)

The statue for Cresendum is probably a pair of fish, like our own Zodiac sign for the Twins.

They **phase** the weapons Calibrum: full moon Cresendium: crescent Severum: gibbous Infernum: quarter Gravitum: new moon

StarBone is actually an attribute to one of the developers dead doggos so they may always have a bone in the stars.

It looks like a fish: for crecendium

I'm amazed how quickly you get consistently good content to us

The world building that people put in this is staggering and I hope they keep pushing forward and make more great lore.

I never click on somthing this fast as aphelios, cycling his weapons I m loving it on LoR time to main him on league too

HAHA i just realized something... They explained why Aphelios can use his weapons only limited amout of time. Because Alune need to recharge them in temple to work again XD Edit 9:20 Aurelion quote to that "All terrestrial dragons are but pale imitations of my kind" So we can say other animals could aslo came to be like that. I mean we made robots that looks like animals or us right?

a player spamming aphelios's weapons Alune: I AM SPEED!!

Alright now hear me out on this: The Starbone is a lightsaber.

Allune: APHELIOS I AM WITH YOU!!! Aphelios: Bonk*

the starbone was just made as a tribute to one of the devs' dog who died during development of targon so i wouldnt take it as being at all really part of the lore

The statue you're confused by looks like two dolphins. The first one is sculpted going down, while the other is upright

Literally it's the pisces constellation, like in Saint Seiya, Avatar: TL of Aang Moon spirit, and even Nami last skin

Two things that we can glean from this batch of cards that Necrit didn't mention (possibly since these are still theories) is that these Lunar Celestials can explain exactly what happened to the Sunborn Ascended and the Darkin. Firstly, the Darkin were Ascended who had their essence stripped from their bodies and shoved into living weapons, not unlike what Alune is doing to the Lunar Celestials (except in Alune's case, it's probably way more consensual, as the Lunar Celestials seem to be giving a portion of themselves to the moonstone weapons in order to help the twins and the Lunari). This could also explain how Myisha (Zoe's predecessor) thought of the idea to lock away the mad Ascended without destroying them outright (thus keeping them in check and preserving their "Aspects"). Secondly, there is now a solid explanation as to why the Ascended seem to be part animal, because during the Ascension process (standing under the Sun Disk and hoping not to get incinerated), the former mortal gets selected as a recipient of a Celestial's power, and so they pour some of themselves into the mortal being, turning them into a reflection of themselves, an Ascended (in much the same way Alune channels the power of the Lunar Celestials into the moonstone weapons, the Sun Disk would channel the powers of the Solar Celestials into mortal hosts). But so far, these are just theories, but it is cool to consider.

Aphelios: i need more bullets, Sister. Alune: **gives celestial bone** haha gottim

I listen to his lore stories as i go to sleep, its like a lullaby to me

Necrit : I have no idea what animal this is Literally everyone else : *F I S H*

good shit man, love your work

The Crescendum statue is actually the 2 celestials intersecting together. One goes up and the other goes down

i remember that crescendum was a reference to Luna's weapon from Dota (who is basically Diana) Glad that dota and league sometimes reference each other

The logo on calibrum reminds me of the energy sword of halo. Looks like someone in riot plays halo.

Bro I love your videos they are so good and interesting pls be more active here and in twitch! ❤️

Necrit: so Crescendum comes out of this Lunari pond is symbolized with the fish celestials in it empowering the weapon. Each weapon is symbolized with an animal that corresponds to the celestial it draws power from, which are depicted in the Veiled Temple. Crescendum's statue on Alune's temple is also an elliptic shape and it's supposed to be the animal that corresponds to its celestial... hm I have no idea what it could be.

There's nothing better in the morning than one of Necrit lore videos and a cup of coffee.

I think the charger is on the solari's side " The gold of the sun adorns his horns, and its fire lights his heart. Let the thunder of our shields ring out like the thunder of his hooves across the horizon!" - Solari battle prayer There are probably more of these but ive read every targonian card's description because they are so cool and the charger is the first i can think of ( The charger is the celestial bull that costs 1 mana and is 4/1 overwhelm if you wanna find it)

I was listening and totally was taken aback about the lack of Merch shout out

9:41 the pedestal has a pug face carved in

Let's goo i've been waiting for this

You always hope your videos aren't long but I hope they're everytime! The longer the video the better for me

I just imagine Phel going apeshit with the Space Bone broken screams, flailing arms, and the sound of bonking at the bot lane

i wish aphelios had a /joke with that bone weapon.. it would be the cutest thing ever 😭😭😭😭😭

OHHH SO APHELIOS SHOOTS GOD GUNS. THATS WHY HES SO STRONG.

thanks for coverage Necrit

I frickin love aphelios as a champ and as a lore character, the relationship between aphelios and alune is pretty interesting and mysterious. Didnt even think that aphelios would have weapons which represent some omnipotent beings in the runeterra. Anyways, I hope i get to see more info on aphelios and his sister(myb, the history of them?), but yea, great video Necrit, love ya

As a LoL lore fan and an aphelios onetrick this was what i needed. Thank you

So much detail to giving life to these character. Its as if they have 200 years of experience.

I hope they release a story from Aphelios with Soraka or more about herself

at 4:44 are the sky shadow unit , the double fish as the statues if you look at the statue models , its a smaller and a bigger fish togheter , as in the pool in 6:09

The statue you couldn't identify might be a fish or something like that

ayeee new video on my birthday lets goo

Imagine being a Solari Soldier facing off against the infamous Moon Assassin, Months of training how to beat him, studying all of his arsenal... Only for him to pull some Lunar Bone and bonk you with it.

Don't allow this to make you forget how skarner's kind is tortured for energy and music.

This is really cool. Always love more lore about Aphelios. I also really want them to update him with the bone as a 6th weapon that would be truly melee. That would be hilarious. Imagine Aphelios' Q throwing the bone and having a celestial dog chase it and hit enemies or something like that.

That thingy in the temple really reminds me of the Sun disc

How does this guy not know what animal the statue is? My god it's a fish.. I was internally screaming the whole time lmao

yep these are constellations this might also be hinting udyrs' soon to be rework

Thx for this video already when i wanted to make fa art of aphelios

Nec out here feeding my lore addiction

Necrit: the only KZfaqr who wants his videos to be as short as possible

I love their design this just makes it better......soooo i guess that bone is a hilt for a sword

I love the celestial aestehtic in legends of runeterra and the new celestila animals look awesome!

9:31 I think the statue is some what of 2 fishes gently swimming downwards, I guess

Another necrit vid to watch while eating

Idk but its funny to see in Alune's pov when Aphelios switches weapons everytime, imagine Alune running alone in the temple asking the celestials to power the weapons everytime his brother switches it 😂😂

the face of the animals that looks like the wepons is not just the fang but also the others 4.35

I can't help but notice what looks like a sun disk (moon disk?) in the middle of the Lunari temple

They should make like when you ult with severum a sabertooth charge our or like whatever animal is to the corresponding weapon. I just think it would be better than just a circle flying across ur screen

The fire in Infernum's art sort of looks like alune facing it. That could be something

the icon representing crescendum is the crescent moon, you see it in the middle of the weapon itself and on the bottom of the pond under the cute celestial fishies actually !

Interesting! I didn’t know there was anything behind the weapons. :)

Aphelios Lore (COUGH COUGH TARGON IN GENERAL) is by far my favorite

Something to notice is that the veil temple in the spirit realm doesn't look like the spirit realm we saw through Shen's eyes in the cinematic

My theory is that Alune gives the bone to the messenger as a tribute of sorts. She asks the messenger to inform the other celestials that they are needed to bless the weapons.

The day this vid dropped I got the latest Aphelios skin from a reroll

I think I remember reading somewhere that the Space Bone was meant to be a tribute to one of the developer's dogs who had passed during the development phase for Aphelios in LoR. It'd be amazing if that somehow created new lore for Aphelios.

i get the feeling something big is coming to targon, and the lunari and solari will need to band together to defend the mountain

I imagine severem is a fish, likely the twin fish celestial card we got.

I think the reason why there are no statue that shows where the infernum is and the reason why its celestial was not revealed is that the gun itself is powered by the "moon" its flames comes from the light of the moon. I think that would be an awesome case since it will empower the idea that the sun isn't the only one that can blind people with its light.

Tbh that bone weapon thingy could do wonders against Nasus :D. I mean it might not kill him, but would defo draw his attention...

After seeing this video, I have some theories about what the weapons could represent and their unique powers... But it would take a long time to explain my thoughts ^^'' Maybe I will write it after I finish my university reports, and I'll paste it here haha Thanks for the video :)

YEEEES I’ve been playing so much LoR for this video

The Fangs would be such a good reksai skin just like cosmic flight anivia in this video

Cant wait for the Aphelios update where alune can send him the bone! Cant wait to play Aphelios melee.

Throwing the Celestial Bone really ought to be Aphelios's taunt.

I hope we get Alune support someday whose kit synergises with Aphelios like Rakan - Xayah! The cannon lore may need to change (how she returns) but there is so much potential!!

A rioter revealed on Twitter that Star bone was a tribute to one of the developer's dog who passed away. That's why the design of the card itself is different to the Targon lineup

Maybe Riot has a hidden weapon sequence where you have to rotate through Aphelios's guns in just the right way to get the bone?

It will be mad funny if the bone turned out to be a deadly grenade and the reason why Aphelios isn't using it is that it is too strong and too flashy to be used for assassinations.

Rito calling their ninjas cuz necrit is into something about the sun sister having her own celestials.

i think that there must be something going on with infernum, it didn't have a statue either. no idea what but it feels like it's going to be something big...

Inferum is very similar to the celestial being whiteflame protector, a long lizard like beast with blueish white flames.

Ifernum is probably s shared weapon, usually fire is associated with heat, so we may get another simillar champion to aphelios, that has the counterpart of infernum, who is probably a solari.

9:30 fish, necrit. fish.

Nice video for an aphelios fan. thank you necrit.

His weapons' lore made him more interesting, finally.
