The Lore Behind the Call Cinematic

[Music] well well well yesterday riot gave us a lot of topics to talk about and among those was the new cinematic called the call of course today we will talk about all the important things that happened in this cinematic because yes this is actually 100 canon to a degree where it is very interesting to see just how precise this cinematic is when it comes to the lore but before we talk about it i have to say people thought i was crazy when i mentioned that the stories on universe were teasing what would happen in the next preseason cinematic but yes i was correct and those stories were indeed a prequel to this cinematic but now without further ado let's have a look at the cinematic because it is teasing all the stories that will happen this year we begin with horn crafting a weapon now throughout the cinematic you may have noticed that orn didn't do much and that's likely because orn is teasing the storyline that will happen this year we know that a void event is coming and orn might play a role in it now normally orn had such a small role here it wouldn't even make sense to make a full cinematic model for him so the reason why we can see orn here at all is most likely because he is going to be used in a future cinematic because remember lucian and senna were reused in multiple different cinematics so it is highly likely that when the voigt event arrives we will see orn again we then shift to the freljord where we can see sejuani riding bristle normally bristle doesn't have braided hair so it's really cool to see how in this cinematic sejuani is using bristles braided hair as the reins of course behind her we can see olaf who might be my favorite character of this cinematic but also we can see that she only has a few warriors of the winter's claw with her that's because in the story called dead of winter it was revealed the winter's claw was scattered around the freljord sejuani scattered them around so that they would have a higher chance at survival the less mouths to feed the better the chances you get to eat we can also see that they are heading into the earth sign territories in the same story it was explained that they are going there because they want to reclaim the cauldron of orn long story short whoever sips from oren's cauldron doesn't have to eat for a year and apparently this cauldron was stolen from hearth's home by the ursine who are of course volibear's followers the earth signs stole it because they thought horn was making humans weak if they want to survive they better fight for it regardless that's why sejuani is here in the sriman story we see talia and kaisa in zolan this is a small region in shrima which also was described in a story called the faceless god in fact the faceless statue in front of them is actually the statue of the faceless god of course we know that gods aren't really real and the god is actually an ancient ascendant of the shuriman empire this is a statue of the ascended zolani anyway in the faceless god story it was revealed that the void was warming underneath this place however a few hours before the cinematic was released we got another story called hollow spun in this story kaiser met talia and her friends at the time kaiser was trying to defeat the void while talia was just helping her people but they both learned that zolan was invaded by the void and so they both traveled here talia because she wanted to reclaim a city of her people and kaisa because she fights the void we then get to the targonian storyline this one is a mystery to us we don't really know why pantheon would be trying to get to the peak of mount argon but you can see that he is approaching a solari portal that would take him directly to the peak we know that pantheon or as we should call him atreus hates the aspects because they dominate humanity and treat everyone like worms so we can simply assume that pantheon is going to the peak of mount targon because he wants to fight back the aspects i think there is going to be more happening in his storyline but that's likely going to happen throughout this year back in freljord we can see a really awesome design of olaf honestly i love him so much please just give him an asu and behind them we can see the earth sign super long story short the earth sign worship the volibear because yes in the lore volibear is called the volibear because he is seen as a primal force of freljord and they worship him to such a degree that the wild powers of the volibear just take over their bodies that's why many of them don't look like humans anymore we can then see that aspensian approaches the portal the solari tried to prevent him from entering and atrius slams his spear down this is his symbol for peace then in shrima we can see that the zersai which are wreck-sized brood ambush are two heroes but the two defeat them all together which causes a massive sinkhole to open up back in the freljord a lightning causes a massive chunk of ice to tumble down and olaf casually shatters it with his helmet but here we should mention one tiny inconsistency you see canonically olaf is supposed to be massive olaf is as tall as sejuani when she is riding on bristle but here you can see that he is just slightly taller than the others canonically people believe olaf's mother slept with a troll but no one ever said it to olaf's face actually if you go to the frame right before this his size seems to be accurate there so i don't know what happened to the scaling in the next frame we can then see olaf throw his horfrost x and it gets buried by one of the earthsign this one is definitely referencing legends of runtera and as it calls upon the powers of the volibear interestingly enough you can actually see just normal volibear that's because these earthsign are not the maniacal wild ones these are normal shamans calling upon the power of the volibear there are also the brutal wild earth sign whose vision of the volibear is a bit different and they kinda corrupt the image of the volibear then on dargon you can see that even though atrias tried to call for peace the solari still attacked him and so he defeats them all without a weapon he most likely did it because he doesn't want to harm the humans he is only after the aspects so he tried not to kill them during this fight in the back you can see the sun coming up which is followed by leona descending from the heavens interestingly enough the zenith blade is perfectly canon accurate it is blazing with the power of the sun that's why it appears to be on fire and after seeing that he now has to face an aspect that's when atrius picks up the spear in the freljord one of the earth sign calls upon the lightning of the volibear and hits sejuani making her fall on the ground on targon a similar thing is happening atrius's fight with leona is broken up by a star falling down now we don't exactly know what these stars are yet again this is a mystery of the cinematic we can assume these come from aurelian soul and that's likely because aurelian has to be important for the void event aurelian soul is one of the few creatures in this universe who can close the void drifts so for a massive void event i really hope we get to see our alien there and then there is a shot of orn making another weapon actually throughout the cinematic he only made one sword but the point is the same i truly believe this cinematic is teasing the fact that during the voigt event orn will be crafting weapons for everyone he will be the one arming the champions for a fight that's why it looks like orn is preparing for a war and then we can see that atrius fell to the bottom of mount targon yes this is symbolic but when he looks around he can see all the other people who also failed to climb mount targon either that or there has been yet another battle between the solari and the lunari but i believe these are all the failed attempts because while some of these weapons are obviously solari other weapons definitely come from different regions anyway in the background we can see that there are more stars falling down and in the middle of them we can see leona's light because during the previous scene i don't think leona was shot down regardless the reason why there likely are stars falling down maybe because previously and this is just a theory pantheon was the one who held aurelian's reigns it was the aspect of war who held aurelian under control but now that the aspect of war is dead and pantheon is obviously not in control of our alien it is possible that aurelian has regained some form of control over himself now we assume that the reigns probably transferred to another aspect for example zoe is talking about toying with aurelian all the time but it is still possible that aurelian may try to rebel against runeterra that would explain why leona 2 was surprised to see the falling stars they weren't called down by the aspects but still right now those falling stars are a mystery back in freljord we can see the lightning killing off the rest of sejuani's soldiers in her own words that's less mouths to feed and then in shrima we get this exchange kaisa's acceptance and taliyah's worry that's because they both know exactly what kaisa is about to do then there is an obvious reference to legends of roon terra but yes kaisa tones rek'sai and jumps down into the void this is to make sure she leads rek'sai away from talia so that she stays safe or more than that she wants to lead rek'sai away so that taliyah can help rebuild zolan in the freljord there is also another very tiny inconsistency sejuan is using her true eyes weapon to fight the earth sign however the pain from wielding that weapon should be so high she should constantly feel unbearable pain a few times in the canon lore sejuani actually used a gag so that she would have something to bite on as she wielded her flail here she just seems angry but not really in unbearable pain for a few frames right before she screams into the distance she sees volibear's face in the clouds atrius then calls upon the remnant powers of the dead aspect and from this point on the cinematic starts to tease what will happen this year we can see dalia destroy the statue of zalani so she can cover up the void drift ironically in the story that came before this there was a person who was hired to fix the statue's face taria did the exact opposite the last scene where pantheon appears is where he jumps into the sky and right into the stars once again right now we actually have no idea what he's planning to do but we can assume it is going to be related to the void who knows maybe he will take control of aurelian again and he will force him to close the void drifts around runeterra sejuani's story then ends with her and olaf with only a few warriors left charging at the earth sign so i assume in the next sejuani story we will read about how she is going to get the cauldron of orn and it ends with kaisa still taunting rek'sai as she's falling down into the void to make sure everyone on the surface is safe and in the final shot we can see orn finishing the sword specifically this is some kind of a rune sword i wouldn't be surprised if this was a teasing a skin because as you see just like during the sentinels we had the sentinels and then the ruinskins i really wouldn't be surprised if we got void corrupted skins and then the heroes who are gonna fight them being armed with orn's weaponry we can call them ram forged skins and i wouldn't be surprised if all the champions shown in this cinematic become main characters in that event maybe we will see a ram forged leona and maybe she will wield this blade it is possible that everyone will wield a weapon made by a god and that's what orn is teasing here because as you saw orn didn't really do anything so his presence has to be teasing something so it seems like he's teasing the fact that he's preparing for war and the weapons he's making will be used in the fight against the void to close this video we need to mention one more thing yes it was confirmed that a void event is coming we saw that during wright's presentation and yes we already know what the void the jungler will be about at least roughly even though they didn't appear in the presentation that's because in malzahar's new story he described the next champion the empress as she was referred to so yes we got another event on our hands and interestingly enough right is scaling down how many champions and how many reworks they are going to be getting out this year the last time they scaled down their work it was because they started working on four new games funnily enough long time ago i even made a video about that so this time if right is scaling back what they wanna do maybe just maybe they are gonna put those resources into the voigt event and maybe we'll get a pve event it's wishful thinking it would be great if it happened but i just wanna know why was victor teased he didn't even appear in the cinematic [Music] you
