Whats does Swain thinks about the religion around Runeterra? Does he feel threatened by any of them?
Runeterra is a world where gods, demigods and other supernatural things are not a matter of belief but a scientific fact. The Aspects, the Freljoldian mythic animal gods, the Shuriman Ascended, the Void, the creatures of Shadow Isles and even the greatest seamonsters of The Guardian Sea all command horrific powers. To ignore them, and the cults that naturally spring up around such might, would be foolish. The deities are a force of nature, while religions are ideological and thus, political. He does not perceive them as active threats though.Β As far as Swain is concerned, there is a couple of big religions, which have to be kept in a rulerβs mind.
Most widely accepted faith in Runeterra are the Sun worshiping varieties, theirΒ βFaith militantβ being the Solari on Targon and most of the followers being Shurimans. However this religion has barely any real organization, and can be somewhat safely ignored, though not forgotten. Especially with the re-emergence of Azirβs Shurima, this position might change drastically. For now though, it is stable.
Then there are the various cults of Void and Shadow Isles. These are not widespread, but their influence can be very dangerous. As such, Swain sees to it they are hunted down and purged within Noxusβ domain, but he has not named an official inquisition or anything at this time. They are dealt with whenever they come up. As an example, Eliseβs spider cult does make sure to stay out of public eye. They are a cabal, not an open secret.
Finally there is the faith of Kindred, who are widely accepted and revered within Noxus, especially the aspect of Wolf. This religion is wielded by Noxian state as a tool, for itβs doctrines of bravery and ferocity, as well as acceptance that death is inevitable part of life one should not dread too much, fit the violent and expansionist nation.
At the end of the day however, Swain is not a religious person himself. With all the scheming and an empire to lead, the Grand General feels content to mostly leave the matters of Faith to those, who feel a deeper connection with these deities.

What she hated about dreams was how quickly they could change. One moment she could be with her friends, enjoying their company, free of concerns. Such trivial things as school and homework were abandoned, and Ahri could, for once, forget of the responsibilities bestowed upon her as the leader of the Star Guardians.
It was for moments of peace like this she lived for, worked hard for, and was willing to die for.
The change was slow to come. The dark clouds on the horizon were shadowed by the bliss of the moment, the joyful emotions, their laughter. Even Sorakaβs melodic laughter was echoing through the fields.
And just as that β it was gone. By the time Ahri noticed the static in the air it was too late.
She could recognize this sinister and chaotic energy anywhere. Rakanβs and Xayahβs blood was still too fresh on her hands to forget the corruption, and it looked like Zoe finally found them to fulfil her promise β to eradicate the remaining Star Guardians on this planet to move on to the other.
Thousands of eyes were scattered around in the eternity of the horizon, stretching and revealing horrifying visions of what was to come.
It had only taken a moment for harbinger to establish absolute control and carnage over the group. Ahri, stripped of an opportunity to defend or fight back, turned her head only to discover the bloody mess and the ripped corpses of her friends. It was foolish to think that Zoe would leave a surviving messenger. The whole scene would serve as one instead.
When the tendrils of void extended after the leader, Ahri tried to rush out of the way, offer some sort of a fight before the inevitable, but her limbs felt like cotton and she was trapped. Lifted from the ground, she was brought to an eye level with the murderer. Zoeβs childish yet sinister laugh filled her before the sharp void-blade pierced her chest and β
Gasping loudly, the blonde stirred from the nightmare. Her whole body was covered in sweat and upon investigating what caused the pinching sensation all over her body, Ahri discovered bright pink trails on her wrists, thighs and even neck. Sighing quietly, she turned to take a look at Kiko. The companion, clearly distressed by the Guardianβs anxiety, had also awoken and was staring at her with its large eyes.
βItβs nothing,β the vixen muttered, rubbing at the aching parts of her body. Though she collapsed back against the pillow, she could not fall asleep for the rest of the night. Zoeβs laugh and the image of her friendβs dead bodies haunted her even after days had passed.
Was this an omen?
*Squeeze his nose* boop!
βUgh itβs you. Donβt you have someone else to bother?βΒ
*Gives him a flower*

The large man stared at the little girl who was offering him a single flower. Whatever the reason was he couldnβt find. Usually, he wouldnβt accept such a gift from anyone, reprimanding them in the process. But she was just a kid....
A heavy sigh as he rubbed the back of his neck. Looking from side to side, making sure that no one else was around to see him. Now kneeling in front of her and taking the flower gently from her hands.
β....thanks...β
@the-twilight-aspectβ asked: *Puts head under water* Hello! (There's no sound of her voice, of course, because she can't speak under water)
