    17:03 While I agree that her dragon form doesn't need armor for protection in the physical sense, I'd argue that she *does* need it in more of a societal sense. first of all, as a member of the Dragon Guard, she needs to avoid friendly fire when fighting in her dragon form (imagine some ballista operator shooting her down because "oops"). Secondly, since she's ostensibly trying to fit in in Demacia, wearing armor even in her bestial form might help remind the other soldiers that she's "human", a person and comrade rather than a beast. It deliberately separates her from true dragons, as an attempt to gain her some measure of that acceptance she so craves.

    @@loicduchange4429 That's underselling the Mageseekers. Considering it's their job to deal with the magic threats of Demacia, one could imagine at least some level of skill on their part. Hell, the Legend of Runeterra cards (particularly the Mageseeker Inciter) suggest they use kinds of magic to deal with particularly dangerous threats. But,combat is hardly their strength. The issue with the Mageseekers is how much sway they have. Their leader is wedded to one of the more powerful families in the nation, and ever since Sylas' escape one would assume he's been whispering in Jarvan's ear. Then, more importantly for Skyen's scenario the , entire country's anti-mage culture means the Mageseekers have a strong foundation. They're the good guys as far as many Demacians are concerned, so if Jarvan decided to ignore the Mageseekers the peasants might attempt to dethrone him for it. Assuming, of course, the Mageseekers in that scenario don't incite their own revolution from that.

    For shyvana wearing armor, one school of thought is "If she wears armor when human, where's it go when she shifts". I think a design using either tattered armor hanging off her dragon form, or better yet, specially designed dragon armor. Imagine an armor that's a bit bulky in human form, but expands when she shifts so it doesnt get torn and shattered.

    That's what he represented before the Demacia rewrite. A young, hot-headed prince, eager to jump into the fray and bring honor to the kingdom. Old lore made sure to use this idea so that his capture would be the catalyst for his growth by having him going into a sort of "knightly quest" in search of self-discovery to become, one day, a better ruler worthy of succeeding his father. The problem is that, in the old lore, this happened all at once in his backstory, he came back and he was already grown and changed, becoming a beacon of change for Demacia as well. Now, i feel like, if we imagine for a second a different situation in Demacia, they could bring back that idea and use it to spur Jarvan's growth as a character. While current canonical Jarvan makes sense for the story they are telling, it still feels like a missed opportunity and a bit of a letdown to what he previously could have been. And yeah, i know... say this because i mostly still hold on to the old stories but i really think this was a disappointing decision, to me at least. Hopefully they might find a way to bring this whole idea back into the current canon, one way or another.

    Ahhhhhhhh I WANT THIS AS SHYV'S STORY REALLY BADLY?!?! Incredible for her, and incredible for Jarvan to have the moment of reckoning with how much he can actually do as a ruler to make Demacia better. What can he do to LEAD Demacia? To help more than just one person? I also want a Sentinels of Light video too... mostly because there's a lot of criticism to be levelled at it, but I'd really like it if you could look at what was good about it too, and reasons for Riot to try a narrative push again.

    I really like TB Skyen's story for how it connects to a theme of questioning the meaning of justice, from the varying perspectives of Jarvan, Shyvana, Garen, Sylas, The Mageseekers and the state of Demacia itself. I feel a symbolic tie to the questions of justice established in Kayle and Morgana's story, it's like a legacy inherited from Demacia's patron aspects.

    i think there's more game design space than just 'do it like gnar' when it comes to champions transforming in combat. for instance she could transform the long she stays in combat with no cooldown, and go back when she leaves. she could transform the more abilities she hits on champions, making sequencing your abilities properly key, as each ability empowers the others with half-dragon power.

    Hey TB I know I'm late to the party but about that video on the ruination event, I noticed that Senna's follower in LoR kinda look like they were initially drafts for champion skins. Like the Demacian Sentinel very much looks like a Fiora skin, Dess and Ada look like if jinx was two people each with one gun, and the watcher on the isles has the same body type and vibe as Ryse, the ixtali sentinel seems like a Sivir skin to me. So I now have this theory that they were going to be the skins and the characters we get in the event. So my head is now filled with what ifs about them, since having them appear in the event instead of the actual champion would have given us more time to delve in the stories of the more important Champions like Senna, Lucian, Gwen, Vayne, Viego, Thresh, Vex, and Yorick Whose lore are already tied to this event.

    Shyvana is my favorite champion in the lore and I appreciate you making this video Skyen. She really deserves the attention especially with having such a precarious and interesting place in current Demacia and even in relation to Jarvan. She could literally act as a lynchpin between whether Demacia continued to sink into it's magic hating bigotry, or forgoing decades of persecution in favor a stronger, more unified Demacia where Shyvana is comfortable retaining that close kinship with Jarvan who'd listen to her on how to treat magical people.
