LORE READING CLUB: Lux Biography – Discussion & Analysis Megathread #1
Hello, everyone! As promised I will host a League of Legends lore reading club for our sub specifically starting with Lux’s stories. Since lots of new fans have joined from Arcane, I think this may help them get introduced with a lot of the story material we have so far. I will do multiple megathreads of lore discussions and analysis, each linking to a page of a story, making things more digestible for new audiences. We will follow the stories in the best chronological way possible (by Lux’s age) linking each lore page to each megathread.
So let’s get reading! Starting off with:
Lux, The Lady of Luminosity
Written by: Graham McNeill
Key Characters Mentioned:
Garen Crownguard, Lux’s older brother
Tianna Crownguard, Lux’s aunt (her father’s younger sister)
Pieter Crownguard, Lux’s father
Augatha Crownguard, Lux’s mother
Lux’s uncle, name unknown (youngest sibling to both her father and aunt)
Lux’s grandfather, name unknown
Kahina Buvelle, Lux’s personal trainer (Sona’s step-sister)
Key Events Mentioned:
The Crownguards are a prestigious Demacian noble family, whom for generations have served as protectors of the Crown.
The Crownguard family home is in the city of High Silvermere.
Lux grew up idolizing Garen.
While Garen took on military duties, Lux was expected to run the family’s many estates–which she hated.
Lux’s light powers awoke when she was attacked by a pack of sabrewulfs one night on her way home.
Lux travelled to the Great City of Demacia at 16 years old with her parents to witness Garen’s investiture in the honored ranks of the Dauntless Vanguard.
She joined the Illuminators and was trained by a knight of the order, Kahina.
Discussion & Analysis Icebreakers:
Overall thoughts on her as a character, so far?
Magic is seen as evil in Demacia, do you think they will continue with this story direction in future projects?
Demacian societal norms view mages as evil. Do you see Lux having a turncoat arc in the future as her story progresses?
What are some of your personal critiques of Lux’s biography so far?
Lux hopes Demacian society will be more accepting of mages in the future, do you see this happening?
LC Special Question: Are there any observations you have made so far with her biography relating to Jinx’s character?
That is all for now folks, happy discussing! For anyone curious where the image comes from, is the video Lux: Binding Light. Animation hand drawn by Glen Keane and was part of a League Animation Workshop. I will let us discuss this for a few days, then I’ll post the next megathread.
NEXT UP: Flesh and Stone
