Talk:Kindred/Background/@comment-26996668-20150918074032

So here's a little theory (misses some things since we don't have an actual lore yet): The pale man  was Death himself,hated by everyone and eventually mocked as the dark acts of the Shadow Isles are able to trick death and revive creatures. (Kindred says they're unwelcome to the place where the Blade of The Ruined King originates from. By doing some research, that place are the Shadow Isles). So, the man decided that he was weak himself, so he split himself in two, not by cutting himself literally (Death is not a human, duh). The axe resembles a ritual of some sort. So, Kindred was born. Lamb resembles a peaceful, humane death, while Wolf resembles a gory, ugly death, that of a soldier, or a king (look at the corpse in their Splash Art) who died in battle from an enemy. I didn't mention anything about anyone called Life or something, because Kindred are Life and Death themselves. Lamb mentions that if you embrace life, you accept death. Meaning they're not something different, but the same thing.

P.S. The King of the Splash Art may be the King mentioned by the altars in Twisted Treeline, so the King whose name Blade of The Ruined King got.
