It's always interesting to think of the Darkin as just having mad ptsd
That's basically what happened to them after they sealed the void. It's why soldiers usually want to return to war once they've left and struggle to adapt to civilian life. Except in League Lore, there was literally no war so they went nuts lol
@@km7856 It wasn't exactly PTSD and more of betrayal. They are bound by flesh and blood and only live to see either destruction of everything or death. One is better than the other of course. Aatrox is trapped within a flimsy material of a sword and has been deformed from his former being. He is chained to destruction and so he tries to abide by it but inside he still feels suffering for not being able to taste freedom once again. His only desire is to be free from these chains and by that sword by either dying or by destroying everything and finding a vessel strong enough to break these chains. He still tries to abide by his honour but simply cannot change what he is now.
@@killermlg5360 it was first a warfare-PTSD for the Darkins like the Darkins who goes to Amp- 'whatchamacallit' with Myisha and got tricked to killing themselves.
It only got worse to mental instability when they got sealed
@@forbiddenextasis2695 Yeah I know, read a bit more on their lore. It's sad to see a hero like aatrox turned into a being of pure hatred and evil. He even believes if all existence ceases that even he will cease to be.
@@killermlg5360 fo' sure. Targonians fucked themselves up. They made a noble god-warrior (ascended) which issa perfect being, to go "no other way to kill" along with the 4 remaining Darkins.
Like fuck. They're already a God plus augmented by the forbidden magics. Prolly why Myisha trick them to kill themselves and got that Chalicar shit to wipe all their kinds
"Only few know his name" not anymore new Aatrox screams his name every 5 seconds
He doesn't tho. His actual ingame voice lines are mostly chilled. He only yells when he is taunting others to make them fight him.
Vlad Dascaliuc yeah they're chilled but I love how they perfectly show the despair that he feels
Im the World Ender (
1 of 20)
*I AM AATROX ! I AM THE WORLD ENDER*
**DIES**
*BEHOLD IMMORTALITY*
PS. Those lines with your Ultimate's BG music.
Chill Like The Arctic heheje
I'm still working on removing most of the echo from that corner of my room. But the cringe... cringe never changes.
be careful as the note with the lines of script can sometimes be seen when you're in that room, explaining stuff to us, which ruins some of the immersion i guess
EDIT: seconds 0:20-0:22 that is what i mean
we love you with your cringes
So...
What if the Shurimans are just as ascended as the Targonians? What if they're just two different factions of the same form of beings?
This is fuckign amazing actually.
I really like this new format
this way you can simplify things and I really like your commentary on things
Aatrox kills everything
Nothing happens
Aatrox: Well then
*Well fuck.*
Thats's depressing
@@thedaystar1415 That's his whole life in a nutshell. Bound by flesh and blood as he says he cannot find an end to his suffering and he decides to either fight and die or live to see another fight until his very end. He will either destroy everything as he was made to do or die and live in peace forever and finally acquire the freedom that was long denied from him.
Lmaooo
*"Weeeeeell sh!t..."*
@@killermlg5360 I Aatrox kills everything he would just be placing himself back in a new prison, It would be the same as Renekton's jail. Traped forever.
also aatrox should do what rhaast does and bond with people
Dude his story hits hard. Aatrox was the only Sunborn willing to end the bloodshed, and he did just as Zoe asked him to do. But then she betrayed him. She even calls him by the name he detested, “darkin” just before he was trapped. If I was him I would want to drown everything in blood too.
Aatrox is most honorable guy in league.
gökhan güler *used to be*
Before he was a plain war lover. Now, he is a once noble warrior traumatized by the horrors of the Void and chained to an eternity of imprisonement, in which his only hope is that by destroying everything there would be a chance that he would be destroyed aswell, so he taunts others in order to make them fight him to either make him stronger or to kill him and put him out of his fear and missery.
Yeah, he "used to be" honorable. Sure.
Vlad Dascaliuc
You didn't mention the Darkin war when they fought amongst themselves due to boredom and killed innocents in the process!
Diana Moon uhhhhh I thought they fought because azir is dead? Since they have no more kings to serve they just fought for themselves to be the next rightful ruller
They needed a leader but none of them were fit to lead because of their ptsd so they started killing each other
Sounds like immortality boredom to me! hehe
When you realize *_Zoe_* knew how to stop the Darkins and gave people the knowledge to defeat them.
It wasn't exactly Zoe, it was a host called Myisha
@@danielschelesky2981 which was controlled by *ZOE*
@@lokiforpresident8361 no zoe is another body
@@liandrysanguishinshin7955 Zoe and Myisha technicallt fused as one now.

Let me get this straight. Darkins are Void Corrupted Ascended Mortals?
Yep!
Immortals*
Tyler NV By this he was meaning "mortals who then became immortal"
They were psychological corrupted by the void. And were physicaly corrupted by the weapons that they were imprisoned.
Henrique Jacques physically changed to the darkin type red and grey appearance due to use of forbidden magic.
I wanted the darkins to receive skins showing their Ascendents versions
I think aatrox has one
@@horizon1328 yeah it is
@@horizon1328 it’s not this ascended form it’s just a random spin on aatrox
@@nopev2877 The Justicar Skin is from the Arclight skinline, its not canon.
@@dennis802 perhaps but it does bear a distinct resemblance to the description
Despite his hopelessnes, Aatrox still brings himself like he was when he was the war general, while Raast feels like just a common criminals who kills with farmer's tools
We had another name once.
Now we are DARKIN.
So its now confirmed that arclight varus and justicar aatrox are the forms they were before shit went down
good theory, but they were similar to renekton and nasus before shit went down
No thats not their ascended form.. Ascended have animalistic looks Aatrox most likely would be bat or dragon or some other winged creature and Varus no was has an idea
No, Ascendants can have different forms and it varies to the ritual and rite performed as you can see the warrior queen setaka was a humanoid appearance with no animalistic traits the way you see aatrox today is the same way he looked when he was ascended but less corrupted
We don't know if there are more ascended forms other then animal so there so we can't say anything more.
agreed.
Before
"I AM AATROX! I AM THE WORLD ENDER!"
After
"I AM NECRIT! I AM THE LORE READER!"
There needs to be a midland darkin and a support darkin so I can have a full team of darkin
U can basically have a full team because theres aatrox(top) rhaast(jg) trynd(mid) varus and swain
@@envytoxic3823 swain is not a darkin, his hand is a demon like fidlesticks, and trynda was just partialy corupted by aatrox so also not a true darkin

"Only when darkness overwhelms the heavens will targon realise its folly." ~Asol
I can imagine how much Aatrox hates Kayle, for he probably sees her at what HE should have always been
He truly does. His voice line when he kills her is just pure hatred.
Why do i want Darius to find some darkin axe or something??
You think something cool would happen or you just hate darius?
@@pancrazio1 something cool , i like darius
Imagine if Darius wield rhaast but then again rhaast gave us edgy boi kayn so oh well

Funny Guy lmao
For which champ
Loremaster twisted fate.
@@ChillExpressions ez
Ryze with necrit skin
I like to think that he’s actually reading from the book
POGGERS! A new format! I like this and keep doing more of these...
new format is great! the simple explanations of key story points and confusing entries made the story as a whole make more sense, i think you've done a great job with this new style of lore telling
I love the irl parts in between parts of the stories. Keep it up bud
Aatrox is the one Darkin that could become a full blown Watcher of the Void. His Goals and motives perfectly align with the Void.
I love the new way that you tell a story on that room if you know what i mean. The one where you hold the book and tell a story that reminds me of myt grandma how she used to tell us stories.
The new style/format i damn fantastic. Hope you continue using it for whenever there is a summary like this, or a longer story.
Oh I so can't wait for kicking the Targon's asses.
So Darkin and Sol are now technically allies.
Man I don't like how boastful and incompetent and ignorant most of the Targonians are like Leona, Kayle, Zoe and Pantheon (not Atreus).
Aatrox's description of his own existence trapped within the blade sounds like Evelynn's struggle to feel emotions.
they should make a skin for him which is his true form in this form he is the aspect of pride and is a gentle kind soul to his compratiots i think his character is by far my favourite and seeing him in his true form would be trully awesome
i think he has one, Justicar Aatrox
no it's not it's just a random desing from arclight skinline @@qadrian7807
i've read his lore but still checked out the video,your voice is really pleasant to listen to.
Man i love how you structure your videos very enjoyable great job man!! I always come to your channel for lore updates.
I love the image at 13:15. That means that when releasing the varus video they were already teasing us with this story, because the woman that we see in the branch is confirmed to be the golden queen warrior, which is so cool ! I actually got chills when I saw this image.
Still only 3 darkin is confirm active we need more champs like this
Next Should be a polearm. can you imagine a flexible polearm that can stretch and bend a whim. I kinda want the personality of a being that thinks by killing he is granting a blessing and a kindness, that death is a mercy that he was afforded and for his sin he is punished to a endless eternity in darkness. He sees his killings as a path to redemption, hoping that with each being slain he will get ever closer to a true restoration of his divine form.
@@driftingwolf0 I'm pretty sure aatrox has that exact thought about his enemies, which is why he doesn't insult or belittle his enemies, he sees death as mercy and kindness. He's crazy but he's still Aatrox and he thinks what he's doing is the right thing.
@@liandrysanguishinshin7955 Aatrox is suicidal and can only want for endless battle because the void corrupted his mind. He gave up divinity and wishes either to be destroyed or to destroy the world and everyone on it.
What I am thinking is a being with a more of a crazed compassion to it. Thinking that killing others so he can ascend once more as a God is both a blessing and a mercy. A darkin that hasn't given up and wants his past divinity to be reclaimed no matter how many he must sacrifice to accomplish his goal.
@@driftingwolf0 that’s a pretty good idea, I think another weapon could be an axe that’s just crazy and likes killing
4 next is xolaani
Just felt like dropping this here: I love your vids man. Have been subbed for a while now, and it just keeps getting better. Keep up the good work!!
such an underrated channel. Good work as always necrit (WoW OST fits perfectly). LoL`s Lore is so interesting
Very nice ! I love the Darkin and Targonians they have such a fascinating lore
I like his Personality of Aatrox. On how he manage getting out of being a sword and destroying all life into havoc...but tbh i dont wnna happen that
i love that new video format it gives me a much bigger storytime feel almost like when you are sitting around a campfire
I envy those who say "reminds me how my grandma/grandpa were telling stories". Never known this feeling. Maybe until now! Thank you, Necrit. I love this format! :-) Even the echo gives it a mysterious...ish vibe. Everything about it feels cozy
i have to agree, you put it in good words :)
Already know the lore, but I want to hear it from you again
The 5 remaining darkin were the strongest of their kind and they had to be bound to their weapons since they could not be killed like the rest
love the setting, good job necrit
i really really really like the new way of your videos keep it going man
I'm still waiting for the Darkin midlane mage
nwesterling2 don't forget the support!
We need a full Darkin team
so far we have Aatrox top, Kayn/Rhaast jg, and Varus ADC
Hopefully a battle mage type like Vlad
It's actually not fit for Darkins to be mages since they are brute warriors and they were sealed off of weapons, a mage Darkin isn't really good
Dudeeee u are just the best.. I mean this is the best lore i've heard so far
AMAZING!! love the format!!!
that reading section works really well, good job!
Ascended Kayn and Varus, So much potential.
You mean Raast.
Exactly*
Mr.Vojtik you mean Rhaast
Hentai Queen Lux all rhaast now baby
He says in the purity of his aspect, so that means that he must have been the aspect of war before pantheon and that is why in the Interactions he talks for the aspect and not to the vessel
Awww I liked the new style of intro/story time in chair!!! You're missing a clear glass of whiskey on da rocks, a monocle, and a crackling fire place tho!!
i like this new format alot keep it going Necrit its good stuff
I want an announcer pack of Necrit.
I'd like to get some more detail on what the differences are between the Ascended, and the Targonian Aspects. They seem quite similar, and they are obviously aware of eachother...
What I know and what I want to know more of:
1. The Ascended came to power through the Sun Disc, while the Targonian Aspects were 'chosen' by their respective dieties. Do the Ascended also draw power from dieties, or are somehow connected to similar higher powers?
2. The surviving Ascended who faught the Icathian void are the only beings to fall in this way. Are there examples of Targonian Aspects who were corrupted by the void? Perhaps their corruption has a different effect than those of their Shuriman 'cousins'?
3. The only way we know that Darkin have been dealt with so far is by binding their, once human, now 'celestial souls' into their weapons. Could something similar be done to Targonian Aspects?
4. Mount Targon seems to be what most often connects the more mundane lore of Runeterra to the larger picture of Gods, dieties, and all consuming void. At the surface it may seem like Targon is ultimately good, but I am sure it has some darker secrets in it yet to be revealed. Perhaps the Shadow Isles will undergo a similar lore re-vamp. How cool would it be to have Mount Targon somehow related to the condition of the Shadow Isles today.
5. Where do the spirits play a role amongst this all? Beings like Kindred, Bard, Anivia, and Ornn? Right now most of their lore is just up in the air, no real solid connection to the lore of Runeterra, but there's potential for really cool developments here, particularly with Bard and Kindred. Is Bard aware of the Aspects of Targon? If a Darkin were ever to die, would they answer to Kindred?
Sorry, got off topic! Oops
Thank you man your stories are very relaxing.
Loved the video and appreciate the work! I think over time as you get more omforitable with the new format yourself, everything will flesh out on its own. Everything was well done, however I fell you YOU felt you were being awkward so in turn, it came off as worse than it was. Get that confidence out that you should have after making all these amazing videos and this is perfect!
Dude .... your kids will be the luckiest to have someone telling them such beautiful stories :'(
And then most of his stories are from leagu of legends lol
"Son have you heard the tragic story of aatrox the world ender"
Dad what is that man with the green sword

Hey, Necrit if you want to improve your quality try and get one of those little microphones you can put on your shirt.
omfg from what I can see of your room it looks like a dream room. The cozyness is overwhelmingly good ~3~
really been waiting for this for far too long, didn't want to read ♥
I like new Aatrox.
Yeah I said it!
"Welcome to another story you were probably too lazy to read."
I will not confirm nor deny the truth behind this sentence, but you got yourself a new sub on that one.
Two months later, I rewatched this video after reading Varus old lore, and have realized something. Varus old lore become the basis of his new lore. Just think it's really cool that they didn't scrap his old lore completely.
i love the old man telling bedtime stories vibe i m getting from this. all you re missing is a pipe. maybe try recording with a seperate mic to deal with the echo?
oh damn 4 minutes ago, papa jhin
Zoe has the aspect of change but it doesn’t permanently control her unlike Atreus. The Aspect of War (Pantheon) did not trust Atreus and thus he used him as a vessel. This is why Aatrox Calls Pantheon a Betrayer.
This is great, the new format, though I missed the "Hello everyone and welcome!"
LOVE the new format
Crazy that we all think aatrox is a bad guy but the dude literally just wants to die
Man i would love a mmorpg that takes place in runaterra so i can watch those fights with my own eyes
Thats gold quality right there honored elder.
That Storm Peaks music hit me so hard I almost cried from nostalgia
I wonder if Aatrox would finally die if his weapon was broken. Although that's probably not the best course of action, it might give him some modicum of peace.
Well it probably would kill him if he was trapped in weapon and killed with immensely strong magic also I agree it would give him peace but that's fine if he's dead at peace then no more death! Which is good
Which means the darkins are xerath's fault, curious to see how the darkins story would turn out since their emperor has been ressurected, oh Azir your highness please save these poor souls, I wanna see their true pure form
ummm dfuq xerath????? pretty sure the old ascended aka the darkins have never met the new ascended the only reason xerath was ascended he betrayed and killed azir and the people connected to his lore are renekton nasus cassiopeia and sivir no one else
@@mikeruryuji1916 pantheon too
Came back here to say Aatrox is called the "Blade of Icathia" in LoR. This current expansion is awesome.
That a cool shirt you have there Necrit, i did not know you liked this game
You make me remember my grandma reds a hestory of her life in the first seconds lol😂😂
They should really make Universe app for phones
love the new setup
I like how we can see the slip of paper he was reading from behind the book cover that is the intro atleast
What about Nasus? Maybe he could have been Naasus!
nasus did not participate the war plus renekton was imprisoned with xerath
That was just stupid attempt to be funny that did not work out, forget it.
doot diddly donger cuckerino!! haah! The empire fell long after the war. So Xerath didn't even exist when the faught back the Void.
@@Domitaku they became darkin after the fall of shurima renekton was trapped with xerath so he has no recollection of the darkin even existing(and he went mad just as them) and nasus exiled himself from then onwards. They all fought in the battle against the void though.
@@danielsvoboda9591 3 years later, it's back to haunt you
What human would be even able to wield that blade if its so big? Is Aatrox controlling giants or what?
The blade it self not that big, Aatrox merse multiple body into one in hope of create his former self, that go for the blade, it getting bigger and stronger each times aatrox gettig a new host
Cool! I'm already using your videos for bedtime stories, now it even looks like you are telling one. :3
3:00 love the wow background ost in a league lore based vid
I feel league's story is so big and beautifully made they can make a TV. Series just like game of thrones!! ❤️❤️
For my own understanding. The Darkin no longer came from another planet to runererra and instead are shuriman ascended that survived the battle of Icathia?
Ye
Yeah this format where you explain a bit after reading its super useful, way better.
Can I recommend next time you do this, to use a Lavalier Microphone . It captures so much better the voice near your mouth rather than 2 meter away .
I'm sorry if I can't explain better , English is not my native language.
Thanks for the awesome story !
best quote from rhaast because im edgy: "Oh, the wrath I will unleash!"
Why weren't Rhaast and Varus driven crazy? They were sealed inside weapons for much longer
Actually Aatrox was the first Darkin sealed (confirmed in an AMA) and the human sorcerer's hadn't quite mastered the whole art yet. Which is why Aatrox's sword is such a horrific torture device. Rhaast and Varus are pretty much just chilling in there. Varus wants to kill people for revenge for his slain kin, and Rhaast just likes slaughter a lot.
Aatrox basically got the short end of the stick, Rhaast seems to just be a conscious scythe and Varus was probably the same but Aatrox didnt even have the luxury to see or talk without a host a mind swimming in suffocating darkness for ages, its too much for any being, god, demon or not, to handle.
HypnoSkales varus and rhasst isnt out for revenge, they werent tricked and trapped into it like Aatrox was, Aatrox has revenge and his immortal part makes him suffer every second when he isnt slaying humans or other creatures!
Poor Aatrox.
Really awesome. i enjoyed the story and it was a cool new formate
Aatrox driven mad by endless battles and betrayals
8:16 no eyes and no ears? I thought their blades actually have a single eyeball like Rhaast's scythe and Aatrox's sword as well. How is it that he said that he had no eyes and no ears and only felt the mortal approaching??
Rhaast had an eye, Aatrox had a heart
Necrit, would it be possible for you to make me mod in your comment section? I usually spend 20-ish minutes in your comment section answering questions every time you upload a new video because I am very up to date with the lore. Just a suggestion because I haven't seen any mods yet.
You're more likely to get a response from him on his discord
There's something that doesn't add up or merely something I missed. So far we know of 4 existing Darkin but I know of only 3 places in which they were hidden.
Rhaast in possibly Noxus stolen by Kayn, Varus in Ionia sealed away in a temple inside a well and Varus' sister which can possibly be somewhere in the ruins of Shurima. But what about Aatrox? Where was he hidden away after the Darkin War? Was there something I missed that confirmed his location? I have to go back and read it myself.
Hey @Necrit did you know about the Bandle City in the Runeterra Map of the Universe of the League of Legends website? I kept looking at the map and I realize that so far, Bandle City is the only thing on the website's map that kept on shifting location, around 1-2 weeks ago, Bandle City was located around at the upper left area (Freljord), now when i look at the map again its gone and now its at the lower right side between Shurima & Bilgewater Bay... After reading the info for Bandle City it stated that the portals from the Runeterra to the spirit realm (bandle city) is random or has a pattern to when it will appear on the map?
I know is far fetched but could the box in the zed story have some relation with the darkin as what zed experienced is known to be something that made him crazy and want to corupt him (maybe a weaker darkin or a pre darkin tranformation ascedand? Or maybe something left over of the darkin trying to break the seal. It seems ralated in the way that is guarded by mortals in a temple is dangerous and makes you "crazy" . It fits a the pattern for the darkin wepons and a part of the pattern on the humans who are fool enought to try and use it. We cant see zeds boody but his eyes are as well red .
RedStoneLife ok then, let's say that this is hypothetically true. What weapon was that darkin locked in and when do you see Zed use that weapon? Could it be his assassin spikes or his shuriken?
Maxim Baychev Maybe they are some Darkin's memories, and that's what twisted him
RedStoneLife
The Darkin "transformation" is just Ascended altering their bodies with primal magic.
I think you should ask about it in the next Necrit's stream
Maxim Baychev idk If he has a darkin weapon , i think the box could be tainted with darkin magic or something .
First of all, this new model is pretty good, second aatrox history is full of sadness, no wonder why he got that personality after rework. IMO darkin arc is by far the best arch in all lore.
Leviathan agreed darkin are so sad but the story is so damn good
Gabe Becker indeed
Poggers Setup
i realy like this style of storytelling
