The Freljord - the Frozen North of Riot's MMO! Runeterra Lore for Beginners - The World of Arcane!

[@JustBlaisYT]

Runeterra Veterans in the audience - do you have a favourite Freljord fact I didn't mention in this intro video? Make sure you drop it down here so all the lore newbies can read what you think is cool!

[@ayamethequeenbee1105]

Anything that has to do with Olaf himself, is really hilarious and interesting. Due to them believing that dying early is honorable and dying old is sinful, Olaf tries and fails to die in battle because a Shaman foretold he would die of old age. So because of this, Olaf has traveled all over the world and has survived every fight he has encountered. So if there is someone who can defeat a Watcher through pure might alone, it would probably be Olaf unless The Watcher's have time magic or something to finally put him down. Although his visual design is boring, his lore is amazing and I hope he gets an ASU at some point. And we don't talk about the Sentinel of Light's event, that's a whole mess on its own.

Yetis exist, and they had a straight up CIVILISATION in the Freljord that was wiped out when Lissandra froze the Watchers. The surviving yetis lost their magic and became little more than animalistic monsters. Willump is the only yeti that retained his magic and some of his former intelligence.

[@JustBlaisYT]

@@cartoonishidealism582 such a good one! I want to do a whole bit about yetis when we have a concrete release date for the Nunu game!

[@corvidkhaos]

an interesting thing is Lissandra's attempts to completely erase the legacy and sacrifice of her sisters from history, as part of this she sent her Frostguard to slaughter the peaceful Notai, a tribe of storytellers that channels the magic and history of the Freljord through song, as Lissandra believed their oral tradition may be a threat to her reign. Nunu, a young boy of the Notai was the sole survivor of the massacre and was taken in by the yeti Willump (very excited for their upcoming game Song of Nunu for that sweet sweet lore) Also spirit shaman's are potent wielders of the wild spirit magic of the Freljord but at great risk of being over taken by the spirits they channel and losing themselves and their humanity entirely. (as seen most frequently with the ursine who practice this magic with little regard for safety or sanity) Udyr is a particularly powerful shaman able to channel the powers of the four main Spirit Gods, once overwhelmed and at risk of possession, he fled to Ionia where he learnt to control his power channelling the far more peaceful spirits of that land.

gnar was trapped by lissandra when she sacrificed her sisters so the ice is technically melting thus lissandra is collecting up iceborn and putting them in comas/stasis to keep the watcher in freljord( they're not the only watcher) in a semi slumbering state.

Freljord: Harsh, unforgiving, eternal winter The Three Sisters: It's free real estate

[@JustBlaisYT]

a great place for a summer empire

[@ThyFloorestFloor]

The home of two of my favorite champs. Ornn and Braum best freljordian champs.

[@JustBlaisYT]

These are GOOD PICKS for favourites!

[@laddanerskit3199]

This is where I'm going to start in the MMO, I love snowy areas. These videos are fun and will probably accumulate huge amounts of views as the MMO gets closer. My guess is release is in 2026.

[@JustBlaisYT]

I appreciate the feedback and kind words! Really glad you enjoy them!!

[@sumosum0]

God I love this channel and the lore. I got into this lore after watching Arcane and I'm pretty much in love with it. I've checked out the website but I'm having a lot more fun watching your vids. So please keep it up. 👍 ❄️

[@JustBlaisYT]

Thanks for such kind words!!! Happy to have you along for the ride!

[@imjustelm]

wonder if Ashe and Sejuani’s reincarnation ties to Lissandra will have any kind of event in the future 👀

[@JustBlaisYT]

I would bet it plays strongly into the storyline as the situation there escalates - it's a key piece of information that undermines Lissandra's attempt at total control of the Freljord

[@kenobean]

I would really like to see more on piltover and zaun, mostly about their history and stuff because its not really explained in arcane.

[@JustBlaisYT]

I’ve got a Piltover long form in the cooker right now - including going over what arcane changes (for better or worse)! Thanks for watching!!

[@luka7067]

Hey, I absolutely love these kind of videos, could you do one video about Month Targon and also to get in touch with Lunaris & Solaris, Aspect Of Twilight, Pantheon, Aurelion Sol wishing to destroy Targon, that’s the region I’m intrigued about, thanks for the other videos about Runeterra, keep up the great work! ❤

[@JustBlaisYT]

Targon and religion is a huge subject that’s absolutely on its way! Thanks for the kind words and the support!!!

[@oz459]

Can’t wait for the 2 on 1 class on the freljord

[@spookypumkin28]

I don't think the iorn boar is the wrath of the Freljord I am sure that it is volibear I mean he was all over the place in the old Valhir/Freljord and is the war demi god I do believe that the iorn boar represents life in Freljord because in Udyr's rework his W is a shield and it is representing the iorn boar and tryndamere had a clan that worshipped the iorn boar and in that village he was stabbed by Atrox which as you can imagine must hurt so I do think the iorn boar was watching him and saved his life

[@JustBlaisYT]

I like this take, even if I disagree with a few points! That’s what I love, for the Freljord there’s so many ways to interpret the lore

[@spookypumkin28]

@@JustBlaisYT Yeah there is also if your not planning a Freljordian sequel then another lore heavy region is the temple of the gods sorry I forgot the name but there is also Shurima and Ixtal

[@JustBlaisYT]

@@spookypumkin28 we’ve done Shurima shorts but never the long form!

[@jfjgbjxkdb3285]

very good video, keep up the great work

[@JustBlaisYT]

Thanks for the kind words!

Hoping for more full video about nation

Even Graga's beard?? I didn't know that

Beer! Sorry! Bad annunciation on my part.

[@jkolade9362]

lmfao the seal sister pic

[@JustBlaisYT]

That’s canon

[@jonathansmith8325]

Good stuff man! I’m just sad it took me so long to watch. But I gotta know when Shadow Isles is next?!

[@JustBlaisYT]

Probably one more region between Noxus and the Shadow Isles! I wanna finish Ruination first, almost done it!

[@jonathansmith8325]

@@JustBlaisYT well I’d say ruination is just as good of a story to cover really. What with the Ruination novel coming out, the new King Viego skin, the runeterra cards that came out with Kayn and stuff, and all of the Sentinels of Light cinematics that came out a while ago. I only bring up the Isles since it’s become a common question on the discord I run for us to ask each other where we would like spawn in. Runeterra MMORPG. I really badly want the shadow isles to be a starting place but I doubt it will be. A lot of people have said Shurima tho, with a few Freljords too.

[@JustBlaisYT]

@@jonathansmith8325 Really neat idea!!! Thanks for the feedback - I agree, and I'm really excited to get the Shadow Isles out there!

[@mayfrisevensongarlet5463]

Love this vid bro keep it up.

[@pataponfighter]

Can you do one on fizz

[@ninocolegado]

What clan does Olaf belong is he an ally or an enemy

[@urougethemadmonk131]

Mt Targon?

[@saveaho3]

What happened to the 201 class😅

[@joeyblackard6346]

No 201 class yet?

[@JustBlaisYT]

Maybe post-Song of Nunu! I kind of put these videos on hold while they figure out what they’re doing with canon lore in Runeterra, but I miss making them hahaha

[@jedna25]

Third but 164th viewer. Freljord is harsh but I love it.

[@lucindamakin1262]

[@lazyjemthecollector804]

[@markschiissler7106]

Second first

Ah yes, the classic second first
