Talk:Mordekaiser/Background/@comment-26505712-20150617155637

After reading "Steel Revolution", a humor filled fan fiction about Mordekaiser, I've been attracted to this Shadow Isles champion. So, I've been reading quite a lot of lores to, at least know something about him.

I have a few things to point out about his lore, one of these is the theory of him being once human, or might still be, infact, human. From Maokai's lore and quotes from the twisted treeline altars, the Shadow Isles was once a beautiful and majestic place. Most of us must've already assumed that Mordekaiser existed those times, the thing is, Mordekaiser could've existed beyond that, even beyond the existence of Hecarim and other denizens of the Shadow Isles. My guess is that Mordekaiser lived during the first rulers of the Shadow Isles, much like Lissandra with the Watchers, and that Mordekaiser was extremely loyal to the first emperor (a trait I based from his King of Clubs skin)

Adding to this is the theory that Mordekaiser could have had his armor even before the Shadow Isles lost all its beauty and became the undead island it is.

From the Pentakill song "Thorn Mail", the lines There is an armor, ancient magic made it strong, And you shall wear it when you face the firght could actually be for Mordekaiser. It could be that the first ruler of the Shadow Isles was kind, and that Mordekaiser follows and respects him wholely, but the Emperor knew of the darkness and the powers the Islands contains. Dying before the war, the Emperor ordered Morkaiser to wear an armor encripted with ancient magic, enclosing the general in metal and giving him the strength to win the battle. But the lines ''but don't you think the realm's been purified. Creature of the darkness are still longing for your fall'' could mean that whatever looms within the kingdom was still there and that the "it" was the cause for the Islands demise.

Morde lived thoughout the whole history of the Shadows Isles, and who knows? Maybe Mordekaiser even became the emperor of the land at one point. But the Master of Metal remained loyal to his first emperor, thus causing him to stray from the Shadow Isles objectives.

The Pre-Shadow Isles continued to flourish until the events in Maokai's lore happened. The current emperor unleashed the shadow lurking within the land, making all of its denizens undead. But Mordekaiser was unaffected, the armor protecting him from the death's grasp but fused with the dark energy, thus the reason why Morkaiser is attractted to the illness in Noxus.

I'd love to share more of my thoughts regarding my fave champ but even I couldn't explain it well.

The things I wrote above are theories based from the information riot has given. None are full proof yet until riot finally shows the true story.
