But at the same time the 2099 is fitting since they could also release a "regular" Spider-Punk, but but 2099 Spider-Punk's effects match the new no-2099 Punk skins so yeah 🤷♂️

Also curious to see if they'll still call this "2099: Spider-Punk" or ditch the '2099'
I think this is for sure part of the 'Punk Society' line because Spidey's mentioned in Magik's bio but hers and Hulk's don't have the '2099' in the name so I don't see why Spidey would

Sure but usually empathizing with the protagonist is a good way to keep the reader invested, being able to still do it for a protagonist that's barely even morally grey is definitely a bit more of a challenge 🤔

We got a small mention of the Du Coutea family. Nothing major, the novel says Ambessa's cousin was talking with many people including someone from the Du Coutea family.

Ambessa is aware that her grandfather gr00med her to be a 'worthy' heir of the family. The way she sought his validation is very reminiscent of what we saw from Mel.
She is a Medarda through and through, while her cousin is against their "outdated" family code

In Arcane Ambessa says she was 10 when her grandfather made her collect weapons in the aftermath of the Battle of Hildenard. In the book we learn her father died in this battle.
At 15 she was already one of the most promising young warriors of her clan.

Interesting tid bits:
Most of the Medarda's power is in Bel'Zhun, their military presence there ensures favorable rates on trade through the Sun Gates of Piltover.
Confirmation that the Sun Gates are still canon!

His wife, who was having an affair with the brother he killed, poisoned him in his sleep... (2/2)
Elise herself was also poisoned by her husband so I assume this story was a 'reference' to that :p
Also: it's a *story*, it might have not happened!

Fun fact from this chapter: Old story about House Kythera!
Shortly after the founding of Nouxs, the lord of House Kythera died with no children. The nieces/nephews fought until all of them were dead except the youngest one. (1/2)

Rell's father was an infantryman before he was wounded, her mother is from House Canwell, either a small noblehouse or one who has fallen out of favor. Not far from what her bio says!
I'm guessing her full name is Rell Canwell then? 🧐

#AmbessaSpoilers
She is stated to be about Mel's age, clearly setting up the parallels between the two. Rell is a fighter, Mel isn't. Ambessa wants to be the heir of the Medarda family but if that happens she herself would have no decent heirs unlike her cousin whose children are also figthters.

This is when Mel shows up, she fights and kills a guy in the arena. Ambessa approaches her after the fight but her parents interrupt, almost begging for Ambessa to give their daughter a mentorship or something similar.

#AmbessaSpoilers [Chapter 3]
This takes place in an arena funded by Ambessa! 20 years before she also funded one in Rockrund, no idea if either is the one we saw in the comic tho
Ambessa likes the arenas, they calm her. Her warband is made out of ex-Reckoners including Rictus!

1st interesting fact from this chapter: Darkwill has debts with Piltover, curious to see where this leads 🤔
2nd interesting fact: the grandfather has a vision where he saw a "wolf with the body of a human", not sure if it's a reference to Vander but it wouldn't surprise me

#AmbessaSpoilers [Chapter 2]
This is mainly an introduction to the members of the Medarda family and the main conflict of the book, both Ambessa and her cousin wanting to be the heirs of the Medarda family
Also Ambessa is in her 40s during this part of the story!

Fun fact from this Chapter: Bel'zhun is pronounced "bell-june"

This family kept vastaya as prisioners, who were not happy with Ionians taking over their home. After Ambessa freed them they agreed to make a deal with Noxus to lead the empire to Ionia (this is pre-Invasion)
Also something something leopards ate my face :)

#AmbessaSpoilers [Chapter 1]
Chapter 1 gives more context about Mel's flashback from S1, including the fact that this takes place in Kumangra, not Ionia! Tho this was the palace of an Ionian family who left the region generations ago :p

Then I purchased the exact quantity I needed of Lattice (1x500L + 2x100L) to get the paid BP (costs 990L) and then the paid BP itself gave me like half of what I wasted back (400L)
AND I can finish the BP at any time even after a new one arrives!!
(2/2)

Funny thing about the prologue
Sahn-Uzal: The afterlife I wanted didn't exist so I'll forge it myself
Ambessa: The afterlife I wanted existed but I refuse to embrace it because of my child
I wonder if you need to believe in Volrachnun to end up there 🤔

#AmbessaSpoilers
Oh and what makes her not stay in that 'realm' (aka dying) is her soon-to-be-born child, that's what makes her come back to her senses, which was obvious from the MV imo
I guess her skin is a "what if she stayed there instead" type deal? idr her quotes tbh :v

Based on the parts about the Lamb I have a feeling it represents her son Kino :')
Previously I thought it was her innocence, could still be the case but we'll see

#AmbessaSpoilers
In the vision she sees Mel, Viktor and Jayce referencing the ending of S2, but she also sees the golden warriors from the MV, meaning they're kinda canon I guess? But they're not the champions, they're legendary warriors who died - basically like Spirit Blossom

#AmbessaSpoilers
A lot of what's written about her "vision" is seen in the MV, it's a vision of Volrachnun given to her by the Kindred. She even sees her future self there which kinda reminded me of the what if future Yasuo skin since that's also based on a vision of the Kindred

#AmbessaSpoilers
Just finished the prologue and right off the bat there's a couple interesting tidbits! It gives more context about the Blood Sweat & Tears MV, like who she was fighting, why she was there despite being pregnant, even why the enemy arrows looked "Noxian"

Oh wait they changed it, Hulk used to be the anchor and he used to gain bonus HP, they probably forgot to update the text when they changed Wolverine to be the anchor instead
