We won’t be seeing Arcane season 2 in 2022, but there’s still plenty of League lore to discover for fans who want more. Now, Piltover’s need for resources is pressing on the borders of this land, and its defenders are known for a sophisticated grasp of elemental magic.
The nation once was part of the Shuriman empire, but when things went bad for Shurima, Ixtal just isolated itself behind wild magic. Ixtal is a relatively new region to League of Legends lore. There’s also some synergy with Noxus, as they’ve expanded into Shurima during their conquests.
It seems probable that harvesting highly intelligent and empathetic creatures to make cool gadgets is going to have some backlash, and we might see that unfold in Arcane’s second season. Possessed of wondrous beauty, Varus was imprisoned at the end of the Darkin War, but escaped, centuries later, in the remade flesh of two Ionian hunters. So, what’s the link to Arcane? Well, the hextech crystals that Jayce and Viktor use to kickstart an industrial revolution come from a sentient race known as the Bracken in Shurima. One of the ancient race of darkin, Varus was a deadly killer who loved to torment his foes with arrows, driving them to insanity before closing for the kill. The empire’s internal politics eventually soured, and a sun disc ritual led to the end of Shurima altogether.
This is a place where a giant golden sun disc once hovered over civilization, and that disc would elevate the emperor’s chosen soldiers into being unstoppable, animal-headed god-warriors. From comic books to classic literature, exploration of the same creative space in vastly different ways is a natural part of storytelling.Shurima is a long-forgotten empire, swallowed by the sands of the desert. In the same way that we can go back and enjoy old books, shows, films, art, and comics that have been superseded by more recent interpretations of the same material, League's original lore remains a cherished part of its history. "Does this mean older story efforts like the Journal of Justice and League Judgments are meaningless?" writes Gnox. This includes a push to ensure consistency in champion identities through backstories, gameplay and cinematics. The League of Legends lore ( from the Legends of Legends official site) - advertisement Until only 20 years ago Runeterra, was on a collision course for disaster. However, the team aims to push story further "through various mediums." According to Gnox, the narrative team will begin creating regular development blogs discussing how story will continue to evolve in the game. As a result the team has experimented with storytelling by fostering the story through the recent Freljord event and Champion biographies. The narrative team at Riot Games is rebooting some of the League of Legends lore as part of a continued revamp of the game's core features including champions, splash art, skins and maps.Ī new blog post from Riot's Tommy Gnox looks at the company's plans to cultivate the League of Legends backstory based on early concepts originally used to "justify" the gameplay - ideas like an Institute of War, Fields of Justice, and so on.Īccording to Gnox, some of these early narrative choices "fostered creative stagnation" and limited how the game's characters and lore could grow.
