Necrit: Now THIS is an interesting line Also Necrit: I have no idea what he's talking about here.

Zaun citizen: I can't breathe, help me janna Janna: I got you fam

At this point, Riot should straight up hire SkinSpotlights at this point

Let's go. Necrit is faster than the queue time...

O: "You were my brother, Volibear. I tolerated you." V: *_"I HATE YOU!"_*

About the bones in the dreams line: maybe he's imprisoned in ice, together with the frozen watchers. In one of Lissandra's stories, she dreams in order to contact the watchers, maybe something similar is at play here...? Also, voli's teaser has him clawing up from the howling abyss, where the watchers were imprisoned.

the "just" in 7:39 is used as "fair, right, equitable" and not as the adverb "just"

Feed me lore, lord necrit

13:06 This quote gets even more interesting when realize that Ornn claims the opposite "Gods don't need followers, followers need Gods"

3:40 so basically this is... "Do not cite the deep magic to me, witch! I was there when it was written."

Volibear: "I am Valhir!" Necrit: "Yes, he does say he is Valir." The letter H: "Am I a joke to you?"

I don't know if I can call this a theory, but let's try In Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" he creates a universe in which gods are only as powerful as the number of believers they have: prayers, sacrifices and stuff like that give them the powers they weild, and even though as gods they could not technically die, if no one, literally no one believed in them anymore they could just choose to lose their will to live, and actually die (kind of like fairies in Peter Pan) . Also, in his book, there is not just a single depiction per god, but as many as people believe in (for example, there is not just one Jesus Christ, but many, with different ethnicities, core beliefs and so on) So, with that said, my "theory" is that A. When Volibear says "But do I live if I am not in the hearts of warriors?" he's mentioning something similar to Neil Gaiman's depiction of gods, in fact, Ornn himself says that "Gods don't need worshippers", and maybe they don't technically need them to live, they exist even without their belief, but that belief, that faith, those worshippers are what makes them truly alive, what gives them true power to shape the world, a power he once wielded and has now lost B. I'm not sure about the idea of a "sleeping volibear", but I think that, again, similar to Neil Gaiman's book, there is an original Volibear, Valhir of the first thunder and blablabla, but instead of having different version of the same god, there is the one god that appears in different forms when summoned because of the ways his followers perceive him, so if they believe in the "thousand pierced bear" with freljordian horror and stuff, that's the form Volibear will assume, that's the power he'll be able to grant people, but if someone actually knew his true form, maybe his true name even, he could appear in his full form, all fluffy and white Long comment, no one is going to read it but ok bye

I think the line "In my dreams, I see bones frozen in ice. I wonder... if they are my own". Might in fact by a reference that the true Volibear is either sleeping, or maybe even dead. The Volibear we see in-game is a manifestation summoned and shaped by whoever has called upon him either willingly or unwillingly. This would also tie in to the fact that there aren't really many worthy warriors (that look up to Volibear) in Freljord anymore, confirmed by "But do I live if I am not in the hearts of warriors?".

When Gragas gets a rework, his lore is gunna be amazing!....

Volibear: "A god cannot die!" Aatrox: "Are you sure about that?"

Volibear: a god can't die. "Aatrox wants to know your location."

There’s potentially a sixth god. The Iron Boar has been mentioned a few times

Oh! Volibear's Bio also mentions an "Iron boar" Demigod, who did infact take Volibears side. Wonder what happened to him.

9:43 an alternative take is that "Thunder roars" refers to Volibear himself, but "Wind howls" refers to the Howling Abyss, implying that the "ignoring the call to battle" is foolish because the Watchers are stirring from their slumber. But hey, that's just a theory...

Don’t forget, Necrit: his bio mentions another primal deity referred to as the “iron boar.” Currently, we have Ornn, Volibear, Anivia, the Seal Sister, the Iron Boar, and/or Everwinter.

Voli: "A GOD CAN NOT DIE" Aatrox: "Haha cute bear"

Volibear looks like vin diesel as a thunderbear

In your last point you talk about how the Gods might work in a similar way spirits do by relying on followers to worship them but in one of the Ornn's quotes he says something along the lines of "Gods don't need followers. Followers need Gods."

"this is just" As "This is fair"... just as in Justice.

So there is a really interesting quote from Pantheon saying:"The power of these "God's" is but an echo of our own" Which might be connected to the gods in Freljord as well

I like that they didn't make him hate Ornn with all of his heart, but you can tell that he actually loves his brother even though he tries to not show it

I do love how Volibear calls other people warmbloods like he isn't a warmblooded animal.

Everything is a dream Freljord is Yharnam, confirmed

"Gods do not need followers, followers need gods" Ornn, the mountainsmith

I disagree, by the way he pronounces "just" it is very clear that he is talking about justice and that it's not a cut-off sentence

Given that Anivia seems the most gentle and compassionate of the bunch, if I had to guess for what the line about "the ice burning in" her heart is suggesting, I'd assume either a caged fury at the state of things, or that she holds back the worst of her storms to the point where it affects her health, possibly forcing her to do the phoenix rebirth/reincarnation thing after exploding into an epic winter storm.

I was waiting for this! It’s really great how there are so many new things in these interactions 😄

When he talked about bones frozen in ice in his dreams I immediately thought of lissandra.

I was actually very disappointed with Voli interaction because they was short and lack luster. It would have been great if he had interaction with some Darken or ascended characters.

I believe the 5th god was already mentioned in his bio where he talks about a boar god(ess) that sided with him on his opinion on humans

I could not _bear_ to wait any longer for the interactions video, ty Necrit! ; )

Honestly, I feel like Aatrox and Volibear would get along well.

Theory: When Volibear got into his fight with Ornn (or sometime in his past), he in fact was killed and over time his form froze deep beneath the ice. His conscience still remained, however. He thinks with doubt (due to his dreams of his own bones) that he is still alive, as whenever people call up him, and believe in him once again, he can take shape via them summoning him. He now fights to grasp followers, allowing him to live once more and fight for his wishes to return his land to a wild state once more. I am unsure if he knows he is dead though, since he states "A god cannot die!", but maybe he is referring to peoples belief in him keeping him around. Just thought of all this on a whim, tell what you think

I have waited so much for this video!

I was going mad without you posting, thank you for posting my dude!

"In my dreams, I see bones frozen in ice. I wonder... if they are my own." I thought about this. I think he meant that he sees what he wants to see, freljordians fighting for survival, leaving bonees in the plains of ice. But instead he realises that these are HIS bones, because he has been forgotten by his people, who got into farming. Don't know what you think about this but i think it makes sense.

I need the LoR new cards interactions

About Volibear's dream about his frozen bones - his death animation is him transforming in ice sculpture.

I see you added the theme of the Howling Abyss Great job 👍

volibear interactions explained: i slepp skin spotlight is not a part of riot: real shitt?

7:52 that just sounds like a catch phrase for cereal.

Long have i waited necrit haha

Was waiting for this video lol

"A god cannot die" "Aatrox wouldn't aggree" I am an Aatrox main, and im currently preparing to show Volibear that gods can indeed die xD

Plot twist : Gragas is drinking the blood of Volibear because he is Vladimir's son

Humans: plant crops that they can eat, so that they dont freaking starve or something. Volibear: Wait, that Illegal

this is your job and i love it.

"I am a god, i cannot die " E-Excuses me, there is somes darkins knocking at the door....

4:17 i think your missing the point here, if you remember the Iron boar AKA the forgotten god then you'll know why he interacted Bristle instead of Sejuani I theorize that when Valhir/Volibear realize that the boar that Sejuani rode was his long lost brother, his forgotten brother the *Iron boar* . Here Volibear could not believe that such a god would be serving a human as a stead and he questions it yet bristle does not reply, perhaps something happened to the boar god even none of the siblings knew about. I theorize that maybe one of the 3 sisters had a similar power that can turn gods into their prisons just like how the rest of the darkin got turned into weapons but instead of weapons they become normal animals. Unlike the darkin this power causes the god to be unconcious and instead their animal forms were the ones who were concious as if their mind was their own instead of the gods. So Bristle currently wasn't himself but his power can be sensed by his siblings just like how volibear discovering the *Iron boar's* fate

Love that LOR Ad💕

Unskippable 20 sec ad Necrit: *happiness noises*

Now that I've seen it a few times, I wanna know you're opinion: Who would win in a battle between Volibear and Aatrox?

Necrit, at 8:48 you say there can't be a god above the others, but in the lost tales of ornn, he mentions the original god at the beginning

6:45 the way he says surely there was a reason seemed as if he doesn't remember doing it so maybe how he has a dark side is like an alter ego and he just turns into it randomly and does horrible things then turns into the great white bear again not remembering what he did

I'm so glad you cleared up the SkinSpotlight thing. I appreciate both of you. But it's good to see yall cooperate not just rob eachother. Rito on the other hand....

real question here, how people of lore discord know the meaning of val? is there any freljord language dictionary? or text with freljord language?

The line where he's talking about his dreams of frozen bones and how he wonders if they're his. It makes me think how Volibear may be thinking of what will happen to him in the future as people are slowly forgetting him. Or maybe Volibear is already dead and the Volibear that people see now is his spirit.

The everwinter is probably around the far-true north, since there is colder. Maybe she even created the bale striders

Plot twist; Gragas' tattoos are spelling out Volibears name in Freljordian runes.

Have you heard anything else about the noxian demon scroll thingy, it was a SUPER SUPER SUPER interesting video! I loved it!

Volibear controls the wind and thunder

thank you for this, volibear is my favorite champion

When Volibear said [growls] *I FELT THAT*

9:32 I always understood it as voltage bear, thunder bear. The Freljordian demigod of thunder, who has a Stattik in his passive and an Ohmwrecker in his ult

When Voli questions about the bones in his dreams, made me wonder, what would Lissandra see in Valhir's dreams?

I love voli , so much dominating presence

11:20 is probably about Lissandra and her ability to enter other people's dreams, and maybe even gods'.

That last line was so deep 👊😔

Volibear: *shoulds of bear depression* Necrit: Interesting

I love how voli seems at least somewhat concerned for his siblings

Where is the 'The first river was made from blood... What has my brother been telling you?' line 😂 I love that.

Morde: "The world has tried to forget my existence, time to remind them why they fear."

the volibear image thing really makes sense to me , look at how he appears in howling abyss like a hologram

Volibear has an earring on his right ear only.

I mean... The music was awesome

The gods have finally spoken

In regards to the final point made in the video, ornn has been almost forgotten in the freljord, and many of his voice lines refer to not having followers. Yet ornn is still content and powerful. What a proud ornn main I am

Bones and spines, the new crunchy snack

Bones frozen in ice, dreams not his own. Could be the watchers

I think that Volibear reminds me a lot about an old man that is scred of all the changes that are happening around him and feels that het may be forgotten. but also afraid that his goals and drives aren't that good like he would like to think. I think that could be a reference to the frozen bones in ice( he is rusted in his ways) and text if he truly lives if he doesn't live in the hearts of warriors. Volibear is just scared that peple forget who he is that he forces himself on others.

I think the everwinter line may be referring to the fact that Anivia, the seal sister and Volibear are more alike with ties to storms and the cold and Orn is an outlier being associated with fire.

sky williams is gonna have a heart attack

Don't forget about the Bilgewater card reactions. I warned you they'd be coming.

Everwinter might be the Warmother Winter in Legends of Runeterra's Winter's Breath card.

I go to skin spotlight to see skills of heroes and be ready when rift comes

New Headcannon, the Seal deity is URF

This video remind me so much of Percy Jackson and the Kane's way to see the mithology, where all gods from all places coexist, and the power of them depends on the faith of the people....

A champion : *farts* Necrit : Now this is an intresting line

Finally necrit! Been waiting for this notifications.

I thought the wane of Janna's following was more directly tied to the project turned mess in Piltover/Zaun, since it was a canal that would allow for faster, more direct access without braving perilous waters and winds.

So he is a bear got a bull bro and a bird sis? Damn the parents are sure something

Volibear’s last quote is a reference to the song Legends Never Die i think

Necrit, The Volibear line about everwinter has me wondering about a part of his bio... "A few, like Anivia, seemed inclined to work with the sisters, while the Volibear and the Iron Boar wanted to destroy them." This in response to the three sisters rising to power, so this would early on in their story and not be when Ornn was mad at them for using magic on the howling abyss. Ornn also mostly kept to himself and didnt get involved with humans not to mention that he is a ram. So from the bio, Anivia (and I'm guessing the Seal sister) wanted to work with the three sisters, but Volibear and the Iron boar (Sister of everwinter) could have sought to fight the humans while Ornn stayed in his home. That idea could also give some more substance to Volibears line to Bristle. If animals are seen to relate the demigods that share a similar form, then that could be a remark to judge Bristle for siding with humans over hating them like the Iron boar did.

The last line, about when people don't believe in the gods, it reminds me at the anime Noragami.

Just waiting for more fiddlesticks videos!
