Sorry this took a while to get back to, busy day!

FIRST QUESTION: Eve seems to have an upside down heretic mark on her head. Any relation?
Next: Did the ancient Silver Lunari actually advocate the destruction of the sun, or was it more retaliatory against the Solari, where they eventually realized they could not coexist?

No relation.
The Solari and the moon-worshipping culture once coexisted. For a time, neither advocated the destruction of the other, but something went wrong. I don't want to go into a lot of detail as to exactly what happened between them, but the mural in Diana's teaser image does give some clues.

I'm curious: Is Diana friends with Vayne? Similar (kinda) motivation, "Silver of the moon", etc.
Plus, she is "The Night Hunter" so that probably has something to do with the moon.

Let's talk about our other champion who uses lunar elements somewhat prominently and lives in the night, Vayne, ("silver of the moon) and how she relates to Diana.
Both of them have strayed significantly from the orthodoxy of their societies (Demacia, Solari) to pursue their own aims. Both of them are lone wolves. Both of them are big into the night.
I'm sure they've met in the League of Legends, but outside that, do they have any interaction in the Institute of War? Does Diana have any particular respect for Vayne given that she uses some kind of toxic metal possibly empowered by the moon and works in the night a lot?

Vayne's motivation is to cull dark magic from the world, wherever it might hide. Without knowing much of Diana's backstory, I don't think Vayne would have an easy time swallowing the fact that she murdered the Solari elders. Given time, however, Vayne might sympathize with Diana, and Diana would respect the Night Hunter.

will she be leading an assault on the iron solari any time soon to encounter leona? if so will there be an in game event similar to noxia vs iona?
|
The Iron Solari aren't canon (just the Solari--the Iron Solari were a forum faction). However, given what Diana has just done to the Solari elders, I don't think she's going to have to go looking for Leona. Leona will find
her.

Is there a Lunar shield out there for her, or is there a particular reason why she doesn't have a shield? I mean, I know she's aggressive and all, but...Pantheon and Leona are both warriors from Mount Targon who wield ancient enchanted weapons, and both of them have a shield. Was the Lunar shield destroyed? Did Diana just not find it? Or does the lack of a shield give some hint as to the Lunari past?
|
There is no lunar shield.
What does it say about the ancient moon-worshipping culture if they were not warriors who wielded shields? Recall that the Solari are intended to be protectors, guardians, and leader figures--qualities that Leona fully embodies. Food for thought.
Quote:

Is she the only Lunari currently, or are there more out there in Valoran? It seems like they were all executed or exiled prior to Diana becoming their warrior.
|
For now, Diana is alone.
Quote:
What is the Solari training like? Is it somewhat similar to Rakkor training?
Which champions does she respect in the League? Which is she the most condescending towards to?
Thanks for answering the questions

Not all Solari are warriors; most are scholars, leaders, priests, etc. Leona (or the Chosen of the Sun at any point) is their warrior-leader, and those that follow her craft would train to be protectors/defenders in battle.
As for other champions, I think with time Diana would come to respect others like her... Vayne has already been mentioned, and Morgana comes to mind as well. I also don't see Diana as the condescending type, but I see her having conflict with (outside of Leona, of course) with Demacian champions, as they follow what could be seen as an oppressive doctrine/regime.
