In a previous “conspiracy theory” article, we mentioned the hypothesis that Swain, the supreme leader of Noxus and connected to Fiddlesticks, was the one who sent this scarecrow to Demacia as shown in the trailer. However, it was only a guess at that time, but in the recently released dialogue of Fiddlesticks, it seems to be more than just a hypothesis.
As we can see, most of Fiddlesticks’ dialogue mimics the last words or specific phrases of champions to instill fear in them. However, with Swain, it is completely different; Fiddlesticks refers to the supreme commander of Noxus as Raum in a tone entirely different, a name that has never appeared in League of Legends.
After research, we discover that Raum is the name of a demon, ranking 40th among the 72 demons of Solomon. According to descriptions, Raum is a count who typically appears as a crow but will transform into a human when commanded. He steals treasures, even from kings, and takes them anywhere.
He destroys cities and the pride of men, knows the past, present, and future, and can make enemies and allies shake hands. Before his fall, he was a member of the angelic council known as Thrones. He commands 30 legions of demons.
With details such as the ability to shapeshift, appearing in the form of a crow, or being a ruler of a massive army, all these traits resemble Swain, the supreme commander of Noxus. With Fiddlesticks referring to Swain by the name of such a powerful demon, it’s very possible that he fears Swain and must submit for some purpose.
The only reasonable goal currently is to destroy Demacia, where Fiddlesticks appears in the trailer. Not only is this scarecrow controlled by Swain, but there is also a real demon army as Nocturne is also present in this kingdom.
