  I don&apos;t think they trained the ants, they have some kind of mindcontrol on them, if you manage to dismount a Nox ant rider either by staggering the ant or parrying her off the mount the purple glow on the ants eyes disappear and they become hostile to each other and able to hurt &amp; kill each other.

  What is interesting about the Albinaurics is their name means “white gold” and is a clear reference to Platinum, as “Shirogane”, the Japanese name that is used for them, can be translated to Platinum. In alchemy platinum is a combination of gold (represented by the sun) and silver (represented by… the moon), and its symbol is a combination of the symbol of both metals. Just a thing to think about. <br><br>(Also, Albinauric bloodclot was mentioned LETS GOOOOOOO)

  The large ants you interpret as pregnant are actually full of food. They look exactly the same way Honeydew ants look. They have a special worker type called a Replete. So they&apos;re the food stores of the ants.

  Note where the Black Knife assassins attack Ranni&apos;s companions. Iji was attacked at the location where he always resides, while Blaidd is attacked at Three Sisters. Not exactly a place Blaidd is found physically very often. In fact, before we meet and put down Blaidd at Three Sisters, the last time we meet him he is sealed in the Evergaol in Limgrave. Though, there is one member of Ranni&apos;s conspiracy who&apos;s main residence is in Three Sisters: Ranni herself. Meaning, that those assassins were ment to assassinate Ranni finding her tower empty only to be attacked by Blaidd who just arrived after freeing himself from the evergaol and bee-lining for Three Sisters.

  When you finish Lattena questline you encounter one of those big ass Albinauric, I always wondered if they had anything to do with the giant skeletons on the chairs in Nox/Nokron. Maybe they grow larger as time goes or being fed by something.

  I got the impression that the nightfolk came from silver tears, not the other way around. <br><br>As in silver tears taking human form breeding and slowly basically becoming another race of human, or their offspring just being human.<br><br>They used to bleed silver but as they became less silver and had less ability to transform they lost their silver blood.

  nobody ever mentions that perhaps after completing age of stars instead of being considered elden lord you are lord of night

  I personally think the twin iconography is in reference to the two moons. The Full moon that renalla and her ancient predecessors revered, and the Dark moon that the nox and rani revere. For even in real life when the moon is full, its light snuffs out the stars and illuminates the night, while when it is dark (a new moon) the path of the stars is clear as day. This concept could be similar in the lands between and would be an interesting way to play on the theology of the moon in the lands between and its duality in real life.

  This is speculation, but consider that THE Eternal city being the nameless one may imply that it was the first and, during it&apos;s time, only eternal city. Only after it&apos;s destruction &nbsp;(and potentially the destruction of their moon) did the nox spread out, looking for alternatives to meet their aspirations, taking their most important relics with them and founding two new cities and even expanding to the surface via selia. But again, this is just speculation

  I wonder if the the Blind Swordsman was a member of the nightfolk or an albinauric. <br>The cult that sprung up around the god of Rot is situated underground and would have been a threat to Nokstella, so it makes sense that the one to seal the god away would have been employed (or even created) by the eternal city. <br>Besides that his blindness might be caused by the same blood clots things that makes albinaurics lose their legs or voice; and perhaps the reason that the Swordsman is so ever-moving and concerned with stagnation is because physical activity can keep further clots from forming in the first place. The blue that he wore is supposed to remind of flowing water and that&apos;s absolutely a concept that permeates Noxian culture: from shape-shifting Silver Tears and the liquid flowing metals they&apos;re made of, to the fact that the two remaining Eternal Cities are built around the two only underground rivers, Ainsley and Siofra.<br>And I can see why the Blind Swordsman would agree to teaching Malenia, who&apos;s loyal to a lord that goes on to create a safe haven for the albinaurics.

  Interesting, I never considered the idea of Godskins as another weapon of the Eternal Cities. That could be a pretty cool connection between the Nox and the Crucible that&apos;s reflected in the Godskins&apos; abilities. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the lineage of the numen once you get around to that!
