(＃ﾟДﾟ) : What does your muse do if they're angry?

Zed spends time training either in isolation or against a large group of his students, depending on the kind of anger. If he’s angry about something that he has no control over, say particularly bad Ionian policy or Noxians, he exerts control over his students and pushes them hard so that they can be stronger and can deal with the changes coming in the future. If it is a personal issue, probably dealing with Kayn or the Kinkou, he burns himself out physically then he let’s his mind work through the issue until he comes to a conclusion.

Spies, Memoirs of a Master

“Soon after the end of the war we, we being Ionia, began to get an influx of Ambassadors, merchants, mercenaries(1), and scavengers. At least a quarter of them were all spies in one form or another. Of those at least seventy percent could be written off as ‘distractions.’ Of the remaining thirty percent, about twenty five percent could be called ‘passable, if annoying.’ The remaining few, however, were the important ones.

“There was this one person, a woman, who, as far as I could find out, arrived early one spring about half a year after the end of the war. Our resources were fewer back then and I went on patrols myself more often. I caught her attempting to make off with documents over recent troop tallies in coastal cities. Since this was of important value we clashed. She was good, skilled in close combat and used a style that those in Demacia’s military employed. I find it unlikely that she was actually from there, however, and I know this because she used magic. While I have no doubt that a Demacia has magic soldiers, I sincerely doubt that they have any as skilled as her.

“Much of what I know about Magic comes from my time with Syndra. Most mages cannot use complex magic without some kind of aid, like a book or a wand, and, even with that aid, results are varied based on how much experience a mage has accrued. Knowing the kind of place Demacia is, such experience is unlikely. But I digress. Once it became clear that I had the upper hand in close combat she made the decision to flee

“The woman made me chase her across five rooftops, three streets, and the nearby forest all at the same time. She had, apparently, created several illusions that always just stayed in sight of my own shadows pursuing them. While she led me on a wild goose chase across the port she slipped out and became a part of the crowd. By the time I found out who she was and worked for Ionia and her home were on friendly, if strained, terms. As someone who also worked behind the scenes she earned my respect, and I sorely wish that I could have recruited her when I had the chance.”

1. There was one mercenary who appeared using a broken lamp post as a weapon. I sincerely hope that idiot is no longer alive.

Most people, even most people at the top, of foreign powers do not know of Zed’s Order of Shadows. Noxus High Command likely knows more than most, and even then that boils down to amounts to a single folder that only has about ten to twelve pages of information, most of which was gained during the invasion. Demacia has less, and it’s mostly rumors and hearsay as they tried to gather intelligence about the invasion.

PROJECT AU Zed’s hideouts are typically scarred affairs. The walls are cut and ruined as he fights to know  between reality and memory. Trespassers who enter his ‘dojo’ are treated like foes he fought when he was fully human.

And, showing that this blog is much more thought out than my main blog, I have added a Rules page!

PROJECT: ZED operates under constraints similar to the ZERO system from Gundam Wing. He sees as all other PROJECT members as enemies and computer calculation is driving the human part of his mind insane as he is constantly fighting these ghosts in his head and transplanting their images over the other PROJECT members.

[byforceofwill-blog]

Ok no but really... what do you think of the clusterfuck that could potentially happen in Ionia: Noxians, Ionians, the different ninja clans, Zaunites, a couple Darkin, and Vastayan's all duking it out?

Hooo boy.

The Elders will want to maintain their position, the Kinkou doing their best to quietly enforce the shadier parts of Ionian law. This has mostly been welcomed, especially with Irelia and Karma taking an active role publicly, but time does not heal all wounds. While Ionians were grateful for the increased central power after the Noxian Invasion discontent is growing with the power structure of Ionia now that time has passed with people chaffing under the current political atmosphere and desire to strike back at their invaders (Kayn / Zed(?) / Order of Shadows / Varus). 

The Vastayan have likely been having issues with humans for years, perhaps generations in some areas, the actions of Zed and the unearthing of Rhaast have just pushed their concern to limited action.

Noxus invested a lot into the war, and the disastrous results have had many questioning high command. Manpower, money, time, you name it Noxus spent it. Many of the generals, as well as the Grand General, were ousted from power in a brutal coup by people like Jericho Swain, claiming the seats of their, now weakened, predecessors. While Noxus may turn it’s eyes back to Ionia it will not go into another costly war for several years, unless Ionia presents a very tempting opening.

Zaun has always been motivated by business, in old and new lore both. If the scientists need research done, and Noxus needs Weapons, Zaunites will follow the money. If that coin leads to Ionian soil, we know why Riven left.

Ionia is at a point, politically and socially speaking, where those in power must shift out to a more moderate faction within the next 5-10 years, or else deep seated resentment may cause more men and women like Kayn clamoring for revenge. Send people to positions who understand the feelings of these people, but also have them regularly sit down and explain why such actions would be a bad idea, and how they should focus on rebuilding so that, if anyone attempts it again, they can throw them off their shores.

Ionia cannot get involved in another war, especially as the aggressor, no matter what. With it being an Island nation it could gain superiority on the ocean for a short amount of time but it does not have the resources to maintain a prolonged conflict. If it reengages with Noxus there will be only one outcome: Noxian Victory.
