League of Legends teases next part of Sion rework: ‘Fall’

Yesterday, League of Legends developer Riot Games teased the first part of something very much hinting at the rework of Sion, the Undead Champion. Today, they released part two; titled "Fall," the next chapter in the teaser features the transcript of a conversation between LeBlanc and Darkwill discussing the resurrection of Sion following the Noxian leader's death.

DARKWILL

What did you do?

LEBLANC

Provided you with what you desired, nothing more.

DARKWILL

This is not what I desired!

LEBLANC

You sought to raise this corpse to do your bidding once again. In that, we have succeeded.

DARKWILL

Look at him! This… thing has no place at the head of an army.

LEBLANC

Not as a leader, no. But your friend was never so much a leader as a killer. And he has never been more perfectly suited to that role than he is now. He does not fear, he does not question—he does not die!

DARKWILL

Damn you. I have no other choice.

A second portion of "Fall" features a message to the office of the Grand General. It reads:

To the office of the Grand General,

There is no doubt the revenant is an effective weapon. It almost razed the fortress at Andras singlehandedly. However, it's also responsible for nearly as many casualties among our forces as the Demacians. The thing seems to feast on the very act of slaughter. It took a company of heavy infantry to subdue it this time, and it's only getting stronger, hacked to pieces or no.

The toll on morale has been heavy. The soldiers find it disquieting to see one of their heroes turned into a monstrosity. It causes them to contemplate how they might be rewarded for their own service. I've had to cull three score regiments for refusing to march aside the thing in battle. I fear the situation will only get worse with time.

Respectfully, Grand General, some things are better left buried.

Looking at the promo site, there's still two more days of teasers: Rise and Reborn. It can be assumed that on the fourth day we'll get official confirmation, but do we really need it now?
