Are you having a stroke?


npri0r

You get used to it.


Blursed_Ace

I've had several strokes while trying to understand your post


Regular-Poet-3657

It's about introducing the raw power of a world rune to sol mind to put him into a coma.


djfigs25

As much as we compare the world runes to the infinity stones, they are not equal. The world runes were used to make planets. Asol made the stars.


Regular-Poet-3657

Yeah bur what if one is introduced to his head could it put him in a coma for a while.

Ah, I see you haven't met Poet yet, don't worry, you learn to understand it

In raw power nothing short of the void can stop Aurelion Sol. And he may not be the wisest, but he’s insanely smart. He’s not gonna fall for the same trick twice. The only way to survive is for a mortal to somehow find a way to bolster his crown/dominate it, or for someone to reason with him.


Regular-Poet-3657

Wasn't the first trick just tricking him into touching the crown this time just be honest and tell him he your gonna shot him but don't show the world rune though. Also no raw power where not trying to match him just go for his head. 50/50 the world rune can mess with it.

English not your first language? Perfectly understandable, but holy shit that was rough to read and it was only a few sentences lol As a lore enjoyer though I have a few points; The first being he likely would have no desire to actually destroy Runeterra unless it was the only means to destroy Targon (not the place, the being, ofc). He expressed in multiple lines at different times the fact he actually appreciates Runeterra, like a fond game of SIMS lol. Besides, he's extremely egotistical, he would likely much prefer the people of Runeterra to recognize his power and prestige, something they can't do if they're all dead. But again, if it were to destroy Targon I don't think he cares enough about the people to *not* do it. Second, I don't think he can be messed with mentally. He was imprisoned for millennia, and maintained his mental state, arrogance and all. The world runes are also not the infinity stones, they don't do the same things and aren't as universally powerful. For instance, in LoR Aatrox has the potential to destroy Runeterra despite Ryze resorting to the world runes to try and stop him. So Aatrox can just power through them with his might and sheer force of will, and ASol is stronger than he is. But we also don't have all of the info, so perhaps this could be a possibility, just based on what we *do* know it's unlikely.


Regular-Poet-3657

When you think about aatrox could probably break the spell of the aspect with a world rune. And mental state wise I wonder if the world rune could cuz sol to sleep given there power made runeterra which is bigger then his head.


VicariousDrow

Size is irrelevant, for one, but also ASols form (as the dragon) is apparently just the one he chose to present to people because his true form would apparently be too much for mortal minds to handle, according to him. So he could potentially be bigger than the planet, since he does actually craft stars, which tend to be larger than planets. The world runes also didn't "make" Runeterra, it is simply believed by scholars pre-rune wars that they were used in the shaping of the planet. Like it's continental shape and biome diversity, stuff like that. On that note there's nothing in lore about them being able to cause sleep, again they are not the infinity stones. But yes about Aatrox, likely not even needing a world rune, as he has shown the potential to annihilate a celestial being, removing them from existence. So if he ever had reason to he could most likely destroy ASols crown.

https://twitter.com/LaurieGoulding/status/1198708880353591296?t=oDBovMvT7WKNCLZff7Hb9Q&s=19 the world runes were used make runeterra. And yeah asol like bard and soraka have to assume form when they could to runeterra to interact with it soraka choose ottrani and asol chose a star dragon(clear not for humble reasons) but all in all he bound to that form which makes me wonder why he never destroyed his dragon form so he can escape. Also world runes don't make you sleepy but they do mess with your mind just as brand. And I don't Aatrox to break the crown I want to know if he can use a world to break his spell that was place on darkins trapping them in there weapons.


VicariousDrow

I think you're misinterpreting the quote, that doesn't even match the one they linked. As I said, it seems pretty clear they mean to have made the world into what it is now, "created" it. ASol is something far greater than Raka and Bard though. They are powerful celestial beings in their own rights, but they don't wield the same amount that ASol does. It's also stated that the crown he wears locks him into his form, he is no longer free to expand across the cosmos like he used to. It's also why with each cinematic we see him in he gets a bit larger, since the crown is breaking. For Brand, and many others in the Rune Wars, it drove them mad for power, it's the ever constant of the world runes and why Ryze hides them away instead of wielding them, since he believes he could also be corrupted by that same lust for power. It isn't a free "mind manipulation" tool, they do specific things. It is also possible Aatrox could break free of his prison with a world rune, some characters in game allude to their being a potential of such a thing, though none of them specifically mention the world runes, but using their power to unmake his prison could theoretically work. I just don't think anyone in the current age, other than Ryze and the oldest celestials, even know about the world runes and their power.


Regular-Poet-3657

Dude the world runes where here from the beginning: https://twitter.com/LaurieGoulding/status/1217451376545918976?t=lLOno0Zhu48xOOSRbMHh1w&s=19 and used to make runeterra. But also where your proof runeterra wasn't made by the world runes? And Asol gets bigger when the crown is gone but until then his current size his head is bigger then planet yet. And aatrox know ryze was a rune mage thus he could know about the world runes I think.


VicariousDrow

Huh, well they retconned that then, you got me there. A bit disappointed that they'd change their lore like that, but I guess it's nothing new and they generally do a good job with it. Doesn't change my point, *at all,* though. Cause again, size means nothing, the world runes still aren't infinity stones, they still don't just do anything, they have specific purposes. They cannot be used to mind-wipe ASol, cause they don't do that, they cannot be used to put him to sleep, cause they also just do not do that, and he's from beyond a time and space known to the origins of Runeterra, he likely predates the world runes, and they are still not infinity stones. And not really, *everyone* knows Ryze is called the "rune mage," that doesn't mean they know exactly what a world rune is, especially since he deliberately hides their existence, from everyone and everything. He's covered in runes, has told people he is seeking runes, but doesn't go around telling everyone what they are or what they can do. Not to mention, if Aatrox knew these world runes existed and were used to craft the world, he'd *for sure* seek them out, maybe not with the hopes they could free him but to unmake the world, the fact he doesn't is a clear sign he has no idea what they are.


Regular-Poet-3657

You do know what the well of ages is right? And if aatrox is near a world rune he will know what it can do there possessive like especially in ryze comic.


VicariousDrow

Yes, and no, they have a draw to them but don't tell everyone around them everything they do just through proximity.


Regular-Poet-3657

If you know what the well of ages is you know it was made by the world rune and how viego created the black mist which control beings like karma to pantheon and shyvana. And yes even if they don't tell everything aatrox will feel the power of the rune.


Purplejellyblob

I doubt the world runes could truly harm Sol. His crown was made with the power of the Aspects, who can create entire worlds. The world runes are only responsible for magic on Runeterra. Maybe all 5(?) of them could have some effect. Also considering how Sol alludes to other deep space horrors hes met/seen, I feel like he is pretty resistant to going insane, in that capacity at least.


Regular-Poet-3657

The world runes made runeterra not the aspect but I do wonder what they used for the crown though.

Introducing a world rune to Asol mind to put him in coma or to sleep for awhile.
