Runeterra - A Lore Overview! Arcane Lore Starting Point

Runeterra - A Lore Overview! Arcane Lore Starting Point - The World of Riot's MMO!

After I watched Arcane, I decided to start delving into the world of Runeterra and League of Legends lore. There's a ton to unpack, and a plethora of stories and content out there to consume, but I had a hard time finding a starting point. This video (and the rest of the series) will serve as a "beginner's guide" to Runeterra, to help people like me start their journey into this world and get a sense of the details they want to pursue.
This first video is a broad overview of the world map and the timeline presented in "Realms of Runeterra." From here, we'll branch out to videos on individual regions and specific events, to help paint a picture of what the world looks like today.

Got here through bingeing ur shorts. More shorts! A comprehensive and entertaining series on Runeterra lore mainly through shorts would be dope. I dig ur videos so far. Thank you! Subbed. Btw I’m exclusively a Legends of Runeterra player and an Arcane series fan. Very little experience with League and no experience with the other Riot games.

Hey thanks!! I really appreciate the feedback and support! I definitely like doing the shorts cause it lets me cover a wide variety of topics in a to-the-point way. Thank you for the sub! Made my day with this comment.

@@JustBlaisYT Awesome! It was easy to get sucked into ur shorts because they were tied together. Tho I started from your most recent and made my way back, it was cohesive and easy to digest. I dig ur channel for sure but I might be Blais biased as you are my intro to Runeterra lore haha

Though Piltover/Zaun makes the most sense for the next video (with Noxus coming a close second), I would love to more on both Bilgewater and Demacia.

Regarding your point of “no good starting point” I always imagined it that way: if people get hyped about something(champions, events, etc.) in the games. They should be able to learn and read about it without any background knowledge. It still has to be a enjoyable experience for most of the people who are only willing to invest a few minutes reading about the background story of their favourite champion. I agree they struggle to structure their content and yes there is no good starting point, but to me it was about the journey to learn about all races and characters within the universe. Everything else came naturally to me Later step-by-step. Anyway, great video!

@JustBlaisYT I'm looking forward to it man, enjoying all your content but especially the long form for a league nerd like me. If you take requests (and haven't already done it) the shadow stuff with Zed Shen and Akali could make a great breakdown video. Always loved the lore there

I always thought Rune Wars occurred more on Valoran and Shurima. I mean, Ionia seems peaceful only until Noxus arrived in their shores.

@JustBlaisYT 2 жыл бұрын

That’s honestly mostly correct! While the impact was felt across Runeterra, Ionia managed to stay mostly neutral during the conflict. But the Rune Wars still had impacts on people like the Vastaya, who have grown increasingly uncomfortable with the way regular mortals are using magic!

@rb-lw9wi Жыл бұрын

This is the most TLDR of all TLDR. If you want to learn the whole runeterra history just go to necrits channel to know runeterra.

@JustBlaisYT Жыл бұрын

It sure is! It really explicitly only covers the basics of the regions and the core timeline from Realms - like the video said, there’s so much to unpack from so many other places! Necrit’s channel is a great place to do that!

It’s a little less drastic than Demacia in my opinion but yes! There’s a lot of turmoil in Ionia post-Noxus about whether or not they should be united and militarized. We’re actually going to start talking about it tomorrow in Shorts!

Ah, i remember when i first started playing league of legends and i would read every single character lore. But they would always revamp champions and change up their lore which was annoying af. You should check out league. Terrible game, but i cant stop playing it.

I love league! I'm just garbage at it! I play a lot more TFT and some LoR, but league has a special place in my heart.
