Alternatively... there are five of them. Some call them demons. Three are known but two are hidden. They are the Dark's Kin. Wrath, Gluttony and Death.

It is possible that the number "three" has changed. None of those champions are regarded as new by the lore - all of them are old stories. Perhaps Bard is not one of them? Perhaps even Kindred. Maybe Shaco, Fiddlesticks or Nocturne are? Nocturne is new within the lore (and I totally hope when they re-write him they go with the fan-favourite that he was trapped within the Pandora's Box that Zed openned). But I digress.

I think it's unfair to say Riot never had interest in the Darkin when red-side Top lane on Summoner's Rift has a mural of the battle between the Protectorate and the Magelords, and that near the outermost tower on the same lane is a carving of Aatrox. Heck, the new lore for the Fields of Justice seems to connect to the ancient "Summoners" of the Protectorate and the Magelords (whose logos are the Stag and the Owl, respectively). That is to say - Aatrox's lore is probably the first piece of lore that Riot did take an active interest in.
