Three League of Legends fans exploring the Lore one champion at a time.
Teemo Rework & Fright Night AU
Since Teemo is a yordle, we doubt he'll ever have a ton of lore, but hey, at least it's canon now! Finally one of Riot's oldest champions got a great visual update and a sick new theme song. It has been stuck in my head for several days now. Please help.

We've talked a lot about the Shadow Isles but still really wanted to focus on the region as a whole.

Coven: Alternate Universe
Happy October! We're excited to start exploring some of the creepier sides of Runeterra this month, and we're starting with the Coven Alternate Universe. Between witches and old gods and dark woods, there's plenty to enjoy this Halloween season.

Ahri: Revisit
We're excited because Ahri actually got some lore that progressed her story forward. With the release of The Ruined King game, Ahri developed some friendships, found out about those rocks she's been carrying around, and solved her dark and shady past. So rare! We're excited to see where she goes next, and would even be happy if she just chilled here forever. --------- WE HAVE MERCH!bit.ly/loreheadmerch Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1 Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueofloreheads Song Title | Ahri, the Nine-Tailed Fox - Champion ThemeArtist | League of LegendsCourtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/Image by Yuri_B from Pixabay - book with sparkles

There are plenty of plot holes in the League of Legends lore, and we certainly don't blame Riot Games for that. I mean, we do, but we get it too. Still, we wanted to try filling some of those holes (I'm sorry blame John), by making some champions of our own!

Sure we've already talked about this guy, but that was like a million years ago. Also, we weren't even doing the AU's back then! It's definitely nice to revisit this area of Shurima's history now that we know more about it, although we do still have some questions.

Runeterra 101
Although we've now read more lore than most League fans, some of us still haven't even looked at a map of Runeterra. And so for those people (Rebecca) and anyone who might be coming over from Arcane or just Riot's numerous games, here is a little rundown of the world of Runeterra. There are a lot of regions to cover, and we're just trying to scratch the surface here.

League Lore: A Retrospective
It's been a long and incredible journey, everyone! This week we wanted to sit down and discuss some of our favorite and less than favorite lore we've read these last few years.

WE DID IT, LOREHEADS. We made it all the way to Zyra. It's been an amazing journey going through all the champs, and don't worry, this podcast will absolutely continue onward. We have AU's, regions, and plenty of revisits to get through. For now, here's a little bit of Zyra lore. She doesn't have much, but we're hoping Riot will eventually tie her into Ixtal a little more in the future.

Somehow we've made it this far and still can't really tell you what an aspect is. It certainly doesn't help that The Aspect of Twilight is extremely confusing. Is she a child? An alien?

Listen, were we expecting a lot of Zilean lore? Of course not. But it's always still a bummer when you don't even get a story. Except maybe he's in all the stories?

Aurora

As promised, there's no short story for Aurora, but The Witch Between Worlds did have an extremely cute mini-games with Ornn in the client.

Look, we know yordles don't have a lot of lore, but this is ridiculous. Between his bio, comic, and short story, nothing we have here is even canon anymore. Not only that, but the hexplosives expert has been left out of Arcane and Bandle Tale! Just...put him in Arcane.

I guess the thing about getting to the end of the alphabet is that we're rarely going to read anything new. Zed is tied up with a ton of other champions in Ionia. Between Shen, Jhin, Akali, and Kennen, we have read about the Kinkou Order a dozen times already. It was still nice to discuss Zed's POV. Is he...not a villain?

Yone
One sword, two swords, red sword, whose swords? Yone, they're Yone's swords. Unlike his highly catalogued brother, Yone has only a smattering of lore. The pieces about him tend to get caught up in the flash of his blades, and don't let us peel back the mask to see the character underneath. There were certain versions of Yone we preferred over others, and his and Yasuo's cooking AU left us all hungry for more.

While not a favorite on the Rift (at least not in NA apparently), Yasuo is a favorite lore-wise for many League fans, and we can see why.

Like most yordles, Vex doesn't have much lore, but at least she's in Rise of the Sentinels. Yay... The Gloomist is a cute little emo yordle though.

Song of Nunu
We have mixed feelings about the lore moving forward. Getting stories via games like this feels so cool, but Riot Games has gotten rid of Riot Forge, so what does that mean for future games and lore? Hopefully we learn more soon. Meanwhile, this was a great way to feel more connected to Runeterra and the handful of champions we got to see. We need more!! And the MMO.

Although Vayne's in game play hasn't changed much, Riot has tweaked her lore a few times here and there.

There was a ton of hate when The Starry-Eyed Songstress was released, and we get it. Seraphine's not the worst though, surely, though a smidge misguided.

Nidalee also has a small bio update (although no word on this apparent Neeko friendship), and Bard got a short story. ---------- Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1 Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueofloreheads Song Title | Dragon Trainer TristanaArtist | League of LegendsCourtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/Image by Yuri_B from Pixabay - book with sparkles

Qiyana
We FINALLY get some insight into Ixtal, and it only took us to episode 105! There are a lot of neat ideas floating around this part of Runeterra, and it is laden with that dreaded word - potential. Unfortunately, Riot seems to have tried making up for the lack of Ixtali lore by putting about 300 pages worth of worldbuilding and magic-system-explanations into a single short story, with mixed results. Despite our misgivings, we ended up liking Qiyana's characterization, and were left wanting more of her and her home empire.

Nidalee
It is quite appropriate that Nidalee's lore has her abandoned in the jungle, given how Riot has left her lore abandoned as well. Without a strong set of stories or a vibrant in-game character, Nidalee feels like she needs some major work to get her up to snuff. To make matters worse, any hopes of finding solace in the Journal of Justice have been drowned out by Riot's one-track mind when it comes to 'cougar'-related wordplay.-------- Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1 Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueofloreheads Song Title | Dragon Trainer TristanaArtist | League of LegendsCourtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/Image by Yuri_B from Pixabay - book with sparkles

Neeko
Much like Braum, Neeko is a big personality trapped in a small amount of lore, which leaves us all feeling like sad tomatoes. Unsatisfied with the amount of attention paid to everyone's favorite chameleon, we swerve into discussions about hunting and eating champions, clone boning, and warbled renditions of her theme song.Thanks to our guest, Pointless, who added to our wonderful array of Neeko impressions!--------Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1 Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/leagueofloreheads Song Title | Dragon Trainer TristanaArtist | League of LegendsCourtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/Image by Yuri_B from Pixabay - book with sparkles

Nasus is an old boy with some old lore, and some surprisingly long short stories. While we like the Curator of the Sands, we did use him as an excuse to complain about Azir/Xerath some more.

Mordekaiser
Mordekaiser is not only old, but had to suffer from Riot not being entirely sure what to do with him. So this Iron Revenant has four old bios and a little bit of Viego stink. So much so, that people used to think Mordekaiser was The Ruined King. Mordekaiser isn't quite so big but has a world ending threat of his own. He's just patiently waiting for his turn on the "End Runeterra" list.

Jarvan IV
I never thought we'd hit anyone duller than Garen but oof. Here we are! The Exemplar of Demacia seems to have trouble deciding between serving his country or being a reckless dolt, and that didn't sit well with us. Most of his potential lies in the people around him, mostly because Jarvan's lore isn't really about Jarvan.

Janna
Never mind the fact we spend the first 10 minutes wheezing over Janna's old voice over (which also involved a lot of wheezing). The Storm's Fury ended up having little to do with storms, or fury, but she does throw some wind around sometimes, and she gave us even more devastating stories about Zaunite children.

Riot's favorite blade dancer and nerf target could be the star of Ionia's delicate ballet. Instead, she's left tapping her feet on the sidelines.

Rise of the Sentinels Part 2
Probably the most offensive thing about the Rise of the Sentinels event is the visual novel. So we ranted about it for over an hour! And summarize, in case you were lucky enough to miss it. Truly we can't wrap our head around the bad humor, Olaf farting jokes, and Senna's complete lack of personality. And that's barely scratching the surface of why this is so terrible. Let's just ignore all the Targon lore. Gangplank is back??? Apparently! Diana met some Lunari and...has her weapon again?

Rise of the Sentinels Part 1
We're taking a break from our usual programming to bring you this bitch-fest. You're welcome! Riot Games has been prepping lore fans for this Ruination event for so long, a lot of people thought that it was never going to happen. And now we're all wishing it didn't. With inconsistent characters, plot lines, and straight up ignoring their own lore, the Rise of the Sentinels event was a massive failure that plenty of League Lore experts already broke down extremely well.

Gragas
Another old champion left behind, The Rabble Rouser Gragas has been a little neglected in terms of lore updates.

There's not much in the Amumu lore, so naturally John went off on the one short story we had and basically just...told you the entire thing. You're welcome! Our favorite sad mummy was a prince or a yordle, was a sweet boy or a tyrannical young prince. No one really knows, but all of Amumu's legends end the same: A little mummy was left to wander Runterra alone and drown in his sorrows for the rest of time. -------------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer TristanaArtist: League of LegendsCourtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/Image by Yuri_B from Pixabay - book with sparkles

Alistar
So listen, The Minotaur Alistar doesn't have a lot going for him so we had to make some stuff up. What adorable champion would you like to see bash some baddies around with our favorite Minotaur? Or maybe you can go Mark's Frenemies route. Either way, this dude is a true support, and also can someone please get these chains off of him? Do they not have fantasy wire cutters or something? ------------------ Song Title: Dragon Trainer TristanaArtist: League of LegendsCourtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/Image by Yuri_B from Pixabay - book with sparkles

Akali
The Rogue Assassin Akali has a great little backstory, but so do a bunch of side characters that we might have gotten a bit distracted by. Riot please give us a Faey champion I am begging.------------------Song Title: Dragon Trainer TristanaArtist: League of LegendsCourtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/Image by Yuri_B from Pixabay - book with sparkles

Ahri
The Nine-Tailed Fox, Ahri has a rich history of....um. Well, who knows? But it also features a K-Pop group and going to school with a bunch of monsters. Oh wait, those are the other universes. Wherever she is, Ahri is kicking ass and charming bitches with her nine tails.------------------Song Title: Dragon Trainer TristanaArtist: League of LegendsCourtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/Image by Yuri_B from Pixabay - book with sparkles

Aatrox
The Darkin Blade Aatrox should really be a big pile of meat swinging a sword around, and we can't figure out why Riot made him so dang sexy. If not a pile of meat, then maybe a Starbucks wall? Also, where's our Barn Bard skin, Riot?--------Song Title: Dragon Trainer TristanaArtist: League of LegendsCourtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/Image by Yuri_B from Pixabay - book with sparkles
