What is this product, and where originate the information? In this article, we want you generally summarize the major points of the story of LoL and Runeterra. This is only a partial list, as the lore goes very deep.

We speak first about the general defining events of the game world, then in general about the contents of the new series Arcane and most recently on the Hex tech magic.

The information comes from the short stories of Riot Games themselves, but mainly from the book The kingdom of Runeterra which contains a detailed timeline of the world.

The story of Runeterra — from creation to the present day

It all started with the watchers who fight against reality

Where the story begins? The story of LoL starts with nothing. For nothingness, the void, the emptiness to German, a force of insatiable hunger, which all want to devour formed. In it, the Watcher lived, but they saw and heard nothing. Then was their very existence not aware times.

But then the reality and generated light formed, of which the Watcher were not enthusiastic.

In reality, the first creatures as Bard and Aurelio Sol formed. Aurelio Sol it was, who created the first stars. These creatures lived in Jargon, a beautiful town of silver and gold.

The Watcher watched the bustle of this Celestials and made plans to destroy the reality that they were an eyesore. This conflict between the reality and the Void, which still exists today was born.

The creation of Runeterra: Runeterra is a planet that did not arise by chance. The Celestials, including Soraya, created the planet and filled it with life.

In this connection, the is not mentioned in the official canon is speculated that on Runeterra aware of an army should be bred to fight the watcher to be able to.

However, the Celestials lost the so-called world runes, with which the planet was created, somewhere on Runeterra. This should be one of the reasons why the magic on the planet is so strong.

The Watcher in turn tore always holes in the reality that we know as the so-called Void Rifts today.

The division of the world: Runeterra divided into different continents:

Valor an in the north Shrimp south Ionic in the East Oceanic in the general waterways

Within these continents there are different nations, which we will discuss in more detail throughout history. These nations are not bound to a particular people, so that for example the small morale have a home in both Bilge Water (Fizz) in Plover (Harbinger) or in Ionic (know).

In the here and now there are 13 nations, of which you most on the world map find can. It lacks only Handle, the home of all morale, Ital, a nation in Shrimp, and the Void.

The period before the year 0 and many wild wars

The era of Runeterra is based on the calendar of the people Nexus. So there are the years before and after Nexus, similar to ours, the time before and after Christ.

The War of the Three Sisters : 9,000 years before Nexus it came to the War of the Three Sisters, where Cassandra fought Aveiro and Served. The war arose because the Watcher affect Cassandra had taken.

However, Cassandra realized her mistake and the three sisters locked together one the Watcher in Howling Abyss in the eternal ice. The Howling Abyss is now the place where take place the ARM matches in LoL.

The outbreak of emptiness: 2,500 years ago Nexus there was a fight between Scythia and Shrimp, two ancient civilizations. The Scythia unleashed while the Void to win the war in a last desperate action. However, doing their capital was destroyed and their land until destroyed beyond recognition.

From this action, some more problems, such as the collapse followed the shurimanischen Empire. The Ascended who had actually fought for it, were perverted by the meeting with the Void and turned away from the kingdom.

In addition, it was a fraud from Death on shurimanischen emperor Air, who then stole the solar disk from the realm that the Shrimp had given a special power.

The Rune Wars: A particularly dramatic experience in the history of Runeterra was the destruction of the city Helix, which tore a hole in the world of spirits after a horrible accident. The place was now known as shadow island. This happened 25 years before Nexus.

By the fall of Helix also reached dangerous magical artifacts — the world runes — in the wrong hands. It came to the Rune Wars, the famous magician Tire took part in its first cruel battle Rye as an apprentice. The images of this war burned forever into the head of Rye one.

The whole world was threatened with destruction and chaos could only be stopped because the two characters Mira and Kiley climbed the mountain Jargon and elected by the aspects. So Kyle and Morgan were created.

Rye again began to collect from then on all the runes artifacts in the world, and they lock away.

The Rune Wars prompted much destruction on Runeterra. Various peoples of no xii locked themselves in an immortal bastion and thus survived the cruel events.

These events united in connection to a people: Nexus. In order for the year 0 of the Christian era begins.

Nexus the world would unite under one banner

In the years following the Rune Wars some new nations were founded, including Dacia. Dacia describes himself as a refuge from magic.

Nexus becomes the imperial power: In the following years, Nexus undertook to unite the entire world Runeterra under one banner and a nation. The top leaders of the military was, it was common for a man over countless years of General Borax Dark will, which was well held by necromancy alive longer than.

In the years 787-892 succeeded Nexus large parts of the continent Valor an to conquer. After they tried then to attack the kingdom Dacia and General Sion managed to kill King Jar van I of Dacia. This success Sion was honored after his death with a special grave.

However, in connection attacked Dacia Nexus then and freed more and more nations in Valor an. Borax Dark will attacked then back to dark magic to revive to Sion. With him at her side succeeded Nexus then distribute Dacia from their own lands again.

In turn, 984 marched toward Nexus Ionic. However, succeeded the General Swain, who was actually a dishonorable discharge from the military of Nexus to lead a rebellion against Borax Dark will and assassinate him in the back.

Then Swain seized power and ended the siege of Ionic. This happened in the year 989. Currently, we are about in 997, where the deposed king Diego returned.

Faun Plover and the events in Arcane

What s the deal with the nations of Arcane about? Faun and Plover are two separate city-states. According to the series Plover is directly over Faun in other reports of Lore they lie side by side. However, it is established that they jointly control a transition between the continents of Valor an in the north and the south Shrimp and an important hub in the trade of the world Runeterra.

Both cities live in strong competition with each other because they produce both gifted inventor and also a lot of experimenting. Faun, however, it came while several accidents with Chem s, which made it a more dangerous place and fostered crime.

Plover however, is respected in the world of Runeterra, which is why there is the academy where the brightest minds of many nations are formed.

When playing the events of Arcane? we could not account for a specific period so far, but we know that the characters from the series as Jayce, Caitlyn and Vi were born around the year 960 to 970 by Nexus up almost 25 to 30 years before the here and now.

In Act 2, the characters are older. So we are likely relatively close are the here and now.

The Hex tech magic

The blue crystals from Arcane : In the history of Arcane especially strange blue crystals play an important role. This is an important part of bracken, an ancient race of creatures that consist of crystals. Heard about Warner to them.

The crystal contains its own personality and feelings so bracken perceive the world very differently and can use magic. Death of a bracken, the crystal is waiting for a new host, but retains the experience of the previous creature at. So a crystal thus continues to evolve.

The crystals communicate via a kind of song that can be heard in the series Arcane. This song is also used by the Champion Strafing for their concerts, which some already has brought criticism to the champion.

From the crystals Hex tech magic: During the leaf wars, the brackets were sleeping and hoped that the mortal peoples would extinguish each other with the magic.

However, they were later awakened by their crystals, as thieves of mortals tried to steal the blue crystals and to use them for their magical purposes. Instead of destroying each other, they came with stronger weapons and armor from the wars.

The Family Ferris from Plover, which includes, among other things, the Champion Camille built a monopoly with these blue crystals, which they described as Hex-Crystals.

They also managed to produce synthetic hex tech crystals via chem-tech, which were very unstable. Since Plover rejected the magic, they produced in Shaun, but brought the profits over into their nation.

Only with Jayce and Viktor managed to stabilize the self-made crystals so far that they could be used in tools or weapons. This is in the game League of Legends one of the reasons why some weapons are so strong, such as the (hammer) of Jayce, and so much magic is used.
