Yup. thats exactly what it is. Heimer is a yordle which were the first of the creatures to appear on Runeterra along with the Vestaya. He would have known about the rune wars from his ancestors, if not directly, as yordles cant die from aging as it was revealed in In The Meaning in Misery.

[@TrollCatGamer]

About the void mental whispers, it is an absolute hell, if you guys have the chance I very much recommend watching Necrit's video on Aatrox or read the short story ''The Cage'' it is honestly heartbreaking to see how torturous life was for the corrupted Ascended that remained and how the Celestials made it even worse. My personal favorite is the story ''Where Ichathia once stood'' which explains the Ichatian war and how the region was tossed to ruin along with every soul that lived there in a desperate attempt to stop Shurima's oppressive reign, I watched Necrit's video on it and I was absolutely stunned how the storytelling was made, it is phenomal!

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Thanks for the video suggestions on where to go next with the lore 😀

[@CosmoTheCosmicCat]

Ah good ol' Necrit. He's definitely the best person to watch to learn more about lore. Fun fact, he's actually a part of the lore itself now! In the recent Ruined King game they made him into an actual character. But yeah, the lore for League is awesome, and it's really expanded since this video was made, with tons of new events and champions expanding on all of this as well as Legends of Runeterra game adding in so much lore through its cards. Honestly I'd just recommend watching Necrit's videos for fun, not necessarily to react, since so many of the stories are really interesting. If you want a good video to watch next though, I'd honestly recommend either the ones about the Darkin War, for more history, or the ones about the Lux Comic, which talk about Sylas and some current events in Demacia.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

That’s so cool how inclusive Riot is to people in their community 🙂😀

[@plasmapanther4444]

I agree, the Lux comic is great 9mostly coz I love Sylas. Also Viego the Ruined king lore is worth checking out too kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6CopXaVh8yrhpY&ab_channel=Necrit.

[@victorhilmerssoN]

Necrit has alot of videos regarding the lore but also just some general lore videos that you might enjoy, like: How old the champions are, how powerful they are etc. He also has lore videos specific to certain champions, but they are a little older and might be outdated but might still be fun to react to

Victor from Arcane was a victim of these void whispers too, I think. Seems like they were corrupting him and at the same time gaining power by corrupting the Hex-core thing he made.

[@2xMoon]

haha and there's a bunch of non-league players that thought arcane was the main story xD it is actually such a small part of the map and whats happening in the wider lore. FYI Necrit's recommendation on Sylas' lore is the opening scene in the "Warriors" cinematic and Udyr's lore is tied to the ice scenes in "The Call" cinematic (girl riding the boar is Udyr's daughter, Sejuani)

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Sylas is one of the characters we first saw and definitely wouldn’t mind learning more about him 🙂

Thanks so much for the kind words. It’s fun watching these lore videos and then having a nice discussion afterwards about it. Even when our theories miss the mark 🤗

[@vicio19995]

just in time, you are getting deeper into the LoL iceberg, Arcane was just the beggining remeber the lore is ever shifting, some tingh have change, as a fellow golden bird man would say tell the people what you have seen today

[@vicio19995]

btw, is obvius that this video was a HEAVY drop of information, we dont really mind if you have to take breaks, there are a lot of strange names, Necric is a great youtuber by puting all the images that fits the narration, but us A LOT we lore nerds, readed this by the course of 10 years xD

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

We’ve thought about pausing to discuss but at the same time it’s interesting to take it all in at once and see what sticks. What truly stands out. What’s the takeaway from it. What do we need to go back to and learn more about. 😀🤓🥳

[@skipp3252]

Two interesting side notes to take away if you are an arcane fan is one, that Heimerdinger was probably referring to the rune wars whenever he had those flashbacks and two, that the Hexcore that Victor was working on took on a very void-like appearance towards the end of the series. That kinda scares me because its not even very subtle.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Those both make sense and also feels like next season is going to have much higher stakes 😯😀

[@Kevkoss]

Hmmm, 3D model of C'thun's eye. 3D model of Voidwalker. Evil formless beings from other dimension corrupting people through whispers. Music pieces from Ulduar. Are we sure it's LoL lore video? ;)

Haha my head has already explored from all the lore in runeterra. Not only are there 11 regions (not including the void), and the stories of all the 150 odd champions, then you add all these individuals, creatures and locations that they introduced in Legends of Runeterra. Necrit has his hands full.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

🤯😝

[@EyedCrown]

Necrit is the best narrator ofLeague's lore. Riot even made him a character in their new game because he's acknowledged as the Lore Father by the community.

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames yeah it's pretty good, there's a famous player named TYLER1, he used to get permanently banned for being too toxic, but he changed after and just months ago he reached Challenger (the highest rank possible in the game) in all roles, which is pretty impressive, and Riot sent him customized badges and medallions for his achievements.

[@PepperPlaysStuffs]

The was a very . . . brief overview of the whole creation of Runeterra, he didn''t even mention that the Watcher that came through in the Howling Abyss was Vel'Koz, a playable champion. Or the fact the Ixtal (ish-tal) severed themselves from the outside world when the Void took over Icathia.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

This is also one of his olde vids I believe. He may have an updated one 🤔

[@MrLainon]

I actually felt a little stressed watching this, because I was probably one of the people who recommended this channel. Necrit is very thorough, which can be good or bad, depending on your interest level and attention span. I hadn't even seen this video before, which is not that surprising because he has mad so many. Anyway it seems like you liked it, so I'm glad/relieved. The unique thing about his channel is how he brings pieces together from different sources, to make the over all picture more clear, and concise.

[@badwolf2342]

It's heavily implied in Arcane that the rune wars is the reason Heimerdinger is so Averse to the use of magic

[@6666Imperator]

for someone who follows League of Legends since season 2 it is interesting how much the lore changed to make it more cohesive and logical. The whole setup of the Summoners Rift changed and if I remember correctly Nasus and Renekton were both transported from somewhere to the Rift while fighting each other. Or looking at Swain the leader of Noxus: Before you could find lore in "newspapers" about him overthrowing the previous government with the help of Darius because in Noxus only "strength" (aka capability and willigness to use it) is what defines your position. He killed Jarvan III. the king of Demacia after that king killed the person who became Urgot later. Urgots history was also completely changed. It is true that the lore was a bit all over the place back in the day and sometimes forced to somehow still work together but it was cool to find out about the different champions within the bio's of other champions.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

We’re glad riot saw how important the lore is and how it can even bring people into the game more. 😀

[@Zelphyn]

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Exactly, consider yourself lucky if you normally reached old age here.

[@homelesswizard3161]

I wouldn't be surprised if Riot took inspiration from Blizzard. Celestials are basically Titans, and Watchers are basically Void lords. Azero...I mean Runeterra is heavily involved in a cold war style fight between these two. Oh and both games literally having "the void" as the big bad, spawning purple lovecraftian horrors. And Riot also currently working on their own MMO, which will likely be used in a similar vain to advance the story as the champions of Runeterra fight, loot, grind their way to saving the world every expansion.

[@Eloryan]

[@David-qg3vr]

Oh, I come back to this again. So In Arcane, Rio, the animal Singed (“doctor”) raised and fed the purple flower and extract shimmer from, was believed that the purple flowers were a result from the void. Before Piltover, Piltover and Zaun was called Osha Va’Zaun, ruled under the Empire of Shurima. There are actually an even lower layer than the Zaun’s deepest place where Jinx and Vi grew up, and those places holds the ancient structures of Shurima, with relics, temples and ancient wardens. So In theory, the void could’ve leaked from the shuriman’s former empire, and thus creating the void cavern with purple flowers absorbing those leaks from that. Shimmer is addictive might not because it’s simply a steroid drug but because the voices, demonstrated during the Jinx vs Caitlyn fight, pushing the consumers to do things that makes them feel alive. This is proven by some. Easter eggs in the show, there were references to all regions of runeterra, but the Void isn’t presence because it mostly doesn’t have a clear location, so they slicked it in with Shimmer to make the reference to the void. This will help them when they wanna explore other regions’ stories telling in the future, as the Arcane is presence in almost everything. Also the show does have a lot of foreshadowing, so if Arcane goes beyond the story of Jinx and Vi, you will start seeing names pop up like Bildgewater, Shurima, Noxus, Demacia (direct counter to Noxus), Ionia, and of course, the void. Here’s a list on top of my head where other regions references had in Arcane: - Ionia: episode 1, the 2 tall figures with masks from the scene of entering the under city, the masks in Benzo’s shops, the Brothel, the princess that got her head cut. -Void: Shimmer, Rio, the Hexcore - Noxus: Mel’s “mother”, she could be an adoptive mother btw. -Frejord: The violinist’s background - Shurima & Targon: Mel, when she was a child, she could be accepted into the Merderda’s clan. He tech Gem could be explore deeper into the tragic story of the Brakerns, an indigenous group of animals of Shurima that got exploit. - Bilgewater: the 2 traders in episode 1 - Bandleader city: Yordles - Shadow Isles: one of the masks in Benzo’s shop ( Liandry torment). This map is particularly sorrow design in my opinion, maybe it has a curse that makes people fall into tragedy. - Demacia: I have not seen anything that screams Demacia into my face, but my educated guess might be some trades between Piltover and Demacia for building materials since it can absorb magic. - Bilge water, under water edition: there’s a whole other world beneath the surface of the ocean, and the fish guy was a representation of that part.

Reading League lore has become one of my pastimes even after I stopped playing the game for about two years now.

Hm, say, i have been wondering about something, about Arcane, more specifically about it’s Story, since the League of Legends Franchise has such a huge amount of Lore and Stories all over, with it’s many Locations and Characters within said Locations, each having Stories of their own, So, basically any of these Stories could’ve been used as the basis of Arcane, so out of all the Locations that Arcane could’ve been about, why exactly did they decide to have it focused around on the Story of Piltover and Zaun? League of Legends’ very First official TV Show, After having been releasing nothing but Cinematics for so long as Animated content, Riot finally gets to make and release a TV Show based around League of Legends for the first time and the Story they decided to have this very First TV Show to be about ended-up being about Piltover/Zaun, i don’t have any problem with that, i just wonder if there were any particular reason for that and if so, what was that reason?

Aurelion Sol maybe is who defeat Pantheon but he ult back on the mountain. For the Ascended if you don't see them there are two video: 1) Descend in the Tomb: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHzRfml-nZqahck 2) Rise of the Ascended : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYrcpntnd9VlkKs I don't know if you see them.

It is hard to tell the story, because it is still getting updated. it happens a lot that they add a new champion and then they update lore of some already existed champions, so the new champion would fit in the story. That is why there never will be fully completed story or a full movie or series. You can see it with Arcane, it was so amazing and it provided a great plot, but you can see they are really careful with it - like there are just from real characters from the game ans they try to not work too much with their own stories or backgrounds. Aurelion Sol is very popular among players when we talk about his design, it truly is beautiful creature - but about his gameplay - you need a high skill to play him. So they changed him now, because a very few players played him - they play him well so they nerfed (weakened) him a lot even though nobody really played him. Now he will get a complete rework so we will see how the community will react to it. But they try to put or create a lot of sources of plot - they make comics, cinematics, songs, stories or events to provide the stories of champions and regions. The comics are really nice, I highly recommend to read them. My recommendation for a story to read about a specific champion - I liked the story of Braum - it is like a fairlytale that is being narrated to a kid about the kindest man Braum. I also loved story of Nami (mermaid) - you can find the comics. But you can watch a video created again from Necrit where he ranks the stories and the power of each champion in League. So I recommend to watch it 🙂

Xerath wasn't "jealous". That's propaganda. Xerath wanted to not be property of his "best friend" anymore. The "best friend" for whom being Emperor of a slaver nation wasn't a powerful enough position to make slavery illegal and who first wanted to become God-Emperor before even telling his friend/property of his plan to not continue owning him anymore. Who here can say that if he was able to divert ultimate magical power from his slaver into himself he'd rather just not and instead see his slaver get it? Even if the slaver was of the "nice" sort.

I definitely think you can make small connections to the Void/Watchers to Arcane. Specifically shimmer/that production facility and Viktor's Hexcore. Demacia, Noxus are worlds I would recommend doing more videos like this on if you both continue at some point (Leblanc is one character thats so essential to modern league lore).

Necrit is a good starting point to the lore of Runeterra, but keep in mind he is still human and gets some things wrong. Not entierly by his own fault even, Riot often tweaks things about the lore, so it is really hard to stay on top of it.

[@victorcastellanos484]

Try to learn more about the War Lord Necrit was talking abput, his story literally changes all the Valoran continent, hus name was Sahn Usal, he controlled the entire continent because of his belief that if he conquered a lot, at his death he would be with other gods in the hall of bones, but when he died he didn't saw something great like the Valhalla, he only saw a sad environment with many wondering souls, he was so angry that he refused to disappear and wanted to come back to the worls and conquer even more, in the mortal world, some mages that were loyal to him, managed to bring him back to the physycal world ataching his sould in his old ashed armor, they wanted to use him as a weapon BUT he started to kill them, the only way to stop him was saying out loud his name Sahn Usal, but it didn't work, WHY?, because he changed his name in Ochnun, a cursed language that no living things talked, and so he new name was Mordekaiser, and now in his secomd empire, he spread his control farther than in his first life, and now he had a new purpose, not just controlling as much as he could, but to collect all knowledge about the other worlds including magi over life and death, his terror reign lasted centuries until someone of his most trustful circle, she was Leblanc, and many others managed to put him back to the death realm, but all this was part of his plan, because in the death world he created called Michna Rachnun, he met tha souls of all the people he met, enslaved, killed, slaughtered, etc, and to turn them in his brand new dead army, he plans to come back some day and use hi army to control the entire world. Now when he was banished to other world, the noxi tribes took he most important fortress, the Inmortal Bastion, and in that place was born the Noxian empire, but the important thing is that there are many catastrophic possible events that could end the world, in order of the worst one would be the Void coming back, Aurelion destroying the wolrd, another Darkin war, the ruin (ended with Viego's defeat), and Mordekaiser's return would the fifth most dangeroures event that can and will happen, so this mad dude is something to fear, ironically, not all the world knows about him, maybe some people in Noxus, of course the black Rose (Leblanc) are aware of this, but they call him the Iron Revenant, NO ONE KNOWS HIS NAME NOW IS MORDEKAISER, so this can be a big pickle, also my fav champ in league xd

Video's a bit old so he only left out the Ruination which we didn't know too much about at the time (Or more accurately didn't think would be important enough for the video and would get a whole event revolving around Viego returning to resurrect his queen) Basically just before the Rune Wars, the Ruination was caused by Viego coming from some unseen continent west of the Blessed Isles with his dead wife, he begged the people of the Blessed Isles to use the Waters of Life to resurrect his wife, but they refused because death is permanent and to undo it is unnatural. Viego took this very well and ordered his knights to slaughter the monks in his path and took his wife to the Blessed Waters without permission with a little help from Thresh who was still alive at the time. When he dunked her in the Waters she came back to life, but as a horrifying spectre and stabbed Viego with his own sword. The magical properties of the blade reacted with the Blessed Water and created a massive explosion, turning the White Mist that hid the Isles from the outside world into the Black Mist and chaining everyone on the Isles souls to it so they can live out the next 1000 years as undying phantoms. But at the time this directly led to the Rune Wars because the monks of the Blessed Isles were the main group hiding the Runes from people, after they got annihilated all the magic nukes proliferated without anybody to keep them in check. Yeah this is the backstory/World History of the world. It's too big to talk about individual nations or characters who just live in it. There is so much scale to it the story of Arcane is just insignificant in the broader scale of this war between the Watchers and the Celestials which 99.9% of people on Runeterra are just completely unaware of. It's just a framework for all of the wars and other conflicts mortals will wage on each other now and the story of each modern region starts after the establishment of Noxus and Demacia post-Rune Wars.
