[2022] Nilah's "whip" is a pretty neat historic weapon

Just watched the champ trailer and she's clearly coded to be Indian. When I saw her weapon, the first thing I thought was that it's an urumi.

Kind of a sword/steel whip, it's an Indian weapon utilized like a flail that can wrap over shields - usually single to multi-bladed. Just cool to see Riot incorporating cultural history to their new champions.
