League of Loreheads

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, …

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 …

We've talked a ton about Noxus, but never really all together like this. It's a confusing place. What kind of strength are we looking for? Where do bakers fall into all of this? Would Talon kill for …

The Project Alternate universe includes quite a few skins, and our lovely John did a ton of work and collecting all of their lore for us! It's a bit tough to piece this all together, but what we have…

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 (…

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 tha…

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 …

It's our first look into an Alternate Universe, and of course we started with the coolest one. Gods, demons, devils (THEY'RE DIFFERENT OK???), angels. Miss Fortune is there too for some reason?? It's…

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. And, of course, what w…

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, …

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? An alien chil…

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? Maybe he's everything, everywhere,…

While Aurora is quite cute, and a little different from most champions that come from the Frejlord, we seem to be the most excited about Anivia getting some attention for once. As promised, there's n…

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 …

While we normally love the wacky children of Zaun, Zeri isn't really doing it for us. Very much love the family and hero ideas, but who is Zeri? Does she like science? What's with the jacket? Why is …

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 Kenne…

There are a lot of strange critters running around Zaun, but Zac sure has got to be one of the weirdest. But we kind of liked this adopted little goo boy! Please put him in Arcane. Or let him interac…

Although The Magical Cat isn't a yordle, she has about as much lore as one. Yuumi is different from a lot of other champions fighting their way around Runeterra, so it's only natural she hangs out wi…

Oh just when we think we're done talking about Rise of the Sentinels, it's here to ruin something else. Yorick is an important figure in The Shadow Isles, and even apparently had a run in with Viego …

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 t…
