Ok, there are two other bangers you need to react to: THE CALL and STILL HERE I swear ur gonna love it. The call is personally my favourite because of the stunning graphics (and because my main, kai'sa, has a great scene in it). But still here is great too because of its storytelling.
Awaken is kinda direction we all will see in next series after Arcane from Riot.Ionia(fighting girl in war) Demacia (in Warriors blonde girl using light magic) and Noxus (Gladiator Arena) are regions in series
if i remember this correctly, the ionia bit is supposed to be first invasion, the one Swain failed in, before he took the Demons abilities, which obviously places this invasion before the Arcane events since, the Ravens are already there. or, also possible, i remember that one wrong. always possible, i'm getting old me thinks.
In-case you don't have a good playlist Here's a good playlist in order I recommend Enter the Freljord - oldest cinematic Cool cinematics -A Twist of Fate (11 years old) -A New Dawn (9 years old) Music videos -Get Jinxed (10 years old) -Warriors (ft imagine dragons ) world 2014 - 9 years old -The Curse of the Sad Mummy - Amumu (9 years olds) -Pentakill: Mortal Reminder Music video Ruinnation event -The Harrowing - Tales of the Black Mist -Senna Dark Passage * -The Climb 2018 -Senna Shadows Embrace Champion Teasers -Bard: Mountain -Ekko Seconds -Warwick” The Wrath of Zaun -Xayah & Rakan: Wild Magic -(watch “THE CALL” before this one cinematic ) -* All that will ever be | Bel’Veth cinematic -Finality: Aurelion Sol champion update Skin Trailers -Project Skins Season trailers (these are considered their top-notch cinematics, they release one trailer every new season of the game typically and usually what most fans wait for each year, even non-league players watch these cinematics -Awaken 2019 -Warriors | Season2020 -The Call | Season 2022 -Still Here | Season 2024 Cool short clips -The Light within - elementalist lux -Annie: origins -Welcome Aboard - Odyssey Animated trailer -“The Path, An Ionian Myth” then “Kin of the Stained Blade” Champion re-work trailers (these are when they make trailers for champions who have been re-worked. League is an on-going game that still runs on an old engine, as of so far they haven’t decided to update the engine, but it’s a live service game. Each year they release new champions, effects, etc. Basically old champs can fall behind from graphics, gameplay, etc. so every season they will re-work a few champs and launch a trailer to tease them) -Fiddlesticks: terror in Demacia Tip for all of these, they should be in the playlist on leagues youtube page and easy to find. I omitted some that are already mentioned. I put * symbol by some because they are best watched in an order. For example, you can find the ruination event if you look up “sentinels of light” - and playlist by timfernix (ironically ruination event is not a playlist on leagues youtube page lol) Start watching all the League of Legends animated music videos: 1) Phoenix 2) Legends Never Die 3) Enemy 4) Rise 5) Breathe 6) K/DA (This is K-Pop music) Then there are the Tales of Runeterra: Noxus Demacia Freljord Bilgewater Don't Mess With The Yordles Ionia Shadow Isles Targon Piltover and Zaun Shurima Then there's the ORIGIN stories and Summoner's Rift Cinematics. Annie Darius Warwick Fiddlesticks Ekko Amumu Xayah and Rakan The Path, An Ionian Myth Kin of The Stained Blade Ryze Call of Power A New Dawn Feeding Frenzy (two newest one's are "blood, Sweat, Tears" & "Heavy is the Crown - Linkin Park Music video") And I recommend reacting to "Bridging The Rift- Making of Arcane" I also recommend "Neacrit" he is a long time youtuber, like 9/10 years who just focuses soley on league content and lore. I recommend "Riot MMO is almost done" as it gives you a simple overview of the land of runeterra and each region.
The League of Legends universe consists of four "dimensions": 1. Void; 2. Celestial; 3. Spirit Realm and 4. Physical in the form of the planet Runeterra, There are no infinity stones here. But different types of magic and Runes = Runeterra. In the very beginning there was only the Void and the Guardians, but then light appeared and reality emerged, which woke the Guardians up, taking away their sleep and ignorance of their own existence, which is why they are trying to destroy it in order to have peaceful peace again. In reality, death appeared/emerged through the spirit realm in the guise of the gray man/pale man, who later split into two aspects of death, the peaceful death of a lamb and the brutal death of a wolf. In the universe = Celestial Realm, the Twilight dragons like Aurelion Sol created stars around which planets were formed. And later, celestial beings and gods began to get involved in the manipulation of reality. The celestial gods created constellations that served as predictions and guidelines for people and, using the world runes, created the planet Runeterra in one of the regions. Apparently, they created Spirit Gods like Anivia, Ornn, Volibear,... who reshaped the surface of the planet as we know from the Frerjord legions. They pulled up part of the earth to create Mount Targon, which serves as the Gate to the Celestial Realm Targon Prime = "Universe". One of the Celestial Gods, for an unknown reason, later hid the world runes through the Runeters, which over time caused a magical radiation, thanks to which the planet became full of spirits, demons and later created magical beings; Celestial giants; Yordles = Heimerdinger,... from Bandle City, which is in the spiritual realm; Vastayashai'rei (Shapeshifting Spirit Race) + Humans = Vastaya ^ Spirit Race and Humans and then Animalistic Humanoid Races. Later, the Targions, with the help of the Celestials, created a star metal crown for Aurelion Sol, whom they enslaved and thus forced to listen to the commands of the Celestial Aspects to use their celestial fire to seal/destroy the Void rifts that the Watchers had created in attempts to penetrate reality and possibly destroy it. Over time, it is clear that various types of magic have appeared or originated on Runeterra: Celestial, Spiritual, Shadow, Runic, Elemental, Temporal, Necronic, Blood,... Runeterra is supposed to serve as a place where super powerful beings of Ascended Celestial Aspects = Celestial Demigods are to be created, for example, a person ascends to the top of Mount Targon and one of the Celestials chooses him as a suitable host. Or in Shurima, with the help of the Sun Disc, I reflect celestial magic into the chosen people to create the Ascended Shuriman golden god warriors, where some failed and were created Baccai = Ramus and others were Ascended Sunborn Nasus, Renekton,... And later their fragments were created after the battle in the Darkins void. All of this is intended to serve as a defensive shield against the Void and its watchers, who seek to destroy reality by creating rifts in the Void through which voidmakers and monsters can pass, devouring and destroying. Or by controlling and corrupting the minds and bodies of beings on Runeterra.
The Awaken, Warriors, The Call, Still Here Cinematic are canon to Arcane Universe. Just like Riot Forge Games: Song of Nunu;.... But Ekko Convergence is not is the some Arcane continuity if you watch on RUclips Convergence post credit scene you will know why. Ps Snow scenes of Frerjord parts from these cinematics are happening in present time as Riot Forge Song of Nunu.
The boy with the crystal who got saved by Kaisa, the girl in purple, is Ezreal, it's honestly kind of odd they didn't really have anything point to him in Arcane because he is from Piltover too.
Not everyone is gonna be covered in Arcane because it focuses more on the Zaun/Pilt conflict rather than a broad scope of stories. Ezreal is an adventurer type of character so the chances of him being in either of those cities are low. Plus Ezreal doesn't really play any role on the war so his character being in the show wouldn't really make sense. Would've been cool if there was an easter egg tho.
There is no mage in Piltover and I think that's normal. I think after the Hextech incident people with magic will start coming that's why we don't see Zeri Sera and Ezreal they are not born yet. I see this in a video it's more explain in it and more detail. But the part that I don't understand is ziggs and blitz where are they
As Christian Linke said chatacters like that are next generation. For example Camille's, Ezreal's, Seraphine's etc lore are based on the fact that hextech was already a thing for a while.
These cinematography tell stories of League of Legend lore. Each site has its history and its moment in history, these fragments are moments in the history of different champs. And that is why cinematography is so special for league players. Well, the next ones I assume will be the Call and Still here
The girl in the ring is Riven, she has a very sad story fitting to be in a tv show. She used to be a Noxian soldier but then she realized that noxus is bad and doesnt want to be part of the war machine anymore, obviously noxus treated her as a traitor and the rest you can figure out. She has a enchanted sword by LeBlanc, the sword has similar runes to the ones Rictus used in Arcane. That sword got shattered later in the Ionian war, and she uses the shattered in half sword to fight, LeBlanc wants it back as Riven is a traitor now. Also a fun fact is that Alex Yee the co-creator of Arcane and one of the writers of the show created Riven and many other champions (also Caitlyn) when he was working at Riot in the champion team years before starting to work on Arcane. Riven is one of his favorite characters. So if we move in the next show to Noxus i could see Riven being part of it.
10:41 To see more of the lore I recommend watching Necrit's video on it, where he explains the world of Runterra. I can also recommend watching the "The Call" and "Still Here" cinematics next, and also Necrit's lore videos he made about them, especially the "Still Here" lore video.
League is pretty much a mix of every type of fantasy universe in one game. Riot's answer to what type of character should we make next is simply - yes!
If you wanna be truly jaw-dropped by a "real" face check the Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred official release date trailer. Witcher 4 just came close but the quality was only there for some close ups.
FYI, I am keeping my synopsis brief as I can. I could include each character's backstory and background, but it would be too long. Warriors Lore It consists of three different stories. The opening story is the land of Demacia which highlights 4 champions, Garen, Lux, Galio and Sylas. Garen is the big soldier & top general of the demacian army, Lux is the lady with the magic wand and sister of Garen and Galio is the statue that arrives at the end. The people attacking are led by Sylas who used to be a demacian, but was exiled and enslaved by the nation because he saved two kids who were being hunted by Demancian mageseekers, thus also revealing he had magic powers himself. Sylas magic allows him to steal powers of other champs in-game, which is why you see a yellow sword animate after he knocks back Garen. Sylas does not like demacia and wants to tear down everything it represents. The land of Demacia does not like magic and forbids it. They are deemed a noble and righteous nation, but truly hate magic and magic users. Though some can do so because of their notability and family ties, but mostly are afraid to still use their mage powers (aka why Lux hesitates to call the wand, she doesn't want to be revealed as a mage user). Galio is basically a huge statue that represents the nation of Demacia and can be activated in two ways, one is he will animate and come alive if he detects any magic users nearby or if he is called upon (also demacia and noxus are bitter rivals as nations). The second story I will just go over but opens up with some henchman walking up towards a person called Urgot. This story includes, as you know, Caitlyn, Vi, and Urgot. You already know Caitlyn and Vi, but Urgot is new obviously. Urgot used to be a high end - executioner (meaning high nobility) for the land of Noxus (referenced in Arcane by Mels mother). Noxus as a nation can be slightly hard to explain. Overall they are viewed as an evil, expansionist nation that likes war. But internally they just value strength above all else. Ironically and not to retcon the show, they offer any many new nations they conquer a chance to join the nation of Noxus from lowest citizen to highest official. If you can do something and you have the willpower to show your value, you will do well. In short they are a meritocracy which values individuals abilities, strength and talents vs wealth, social class or race. One its highest generals - Darius, started out in the slums in Noxus with his brother Draven and they worked their way up to the highest rank of the army. In short, if you are weak, you will not survive in Noxian society. Back to Urgot He was tricked by Swain who wanted to become a general of the Noxus, and Swain sent Urgot to Piltover/Zaun to hunt down a traitor of Noxus. Urgot didn't realize he was set up, so he was captured and sent to the mines of Zaun where his body was worn and torn. Eventually Urgot realized the mines made him stronger and considered parts of his body weak so he mechanically altered himself over time. He eventually became a warrior of the chembarons of Zaun, but Piltover locked him up which is why the henchmen are trying to release him. The last story includes Ezreal and Kai’sa. To keep it short, Ezreal is just a person who likes to travel the land and find old relics. He is attacked by Voidlings which are from “The Void.” and he is saved by Kai’sa. Kai’sa is from one of the most ancient lands of Runeterra called “Shurima. LONG ago, a majority of the land was literally sucked up by “The Void” and Kai’sa village went under. Kai’sa only survived because she decided to go deeper into the void and eventually a piece of the void combined with her skin and transformed her; it gave her abilities and after escaping from the Void, she has vowed to defend all of Runeterra from any future Void events. (In league of legends lore, there are a few world ending events that can happen and “The Void” is one of them. Only way to defeat it would be that all of Runeterra would have to come together to fight the Void.) Awaken Lore Again consist of three stories. The opening story takes place in the nation of Piltover at a theater. It includes two champions called Jhin and Camille. Jhin basically is a serial killer who gets thrilled off killing people. He is being hunted by Camille who is a leader of Piltover police. She has altered her body with hextech as she wants to be superior to others, more specifically to catch stronger and more bad people who could be stronger than her if she didn’t have the hextech.The second story takes place in a colosseum in the land of Noxus. The two champions here would be Draven and Riven. Draven, as mentioned above, worked his way up along with his brother Darius to high ranks in the Noxian military. He is enjoying a fight and the lady who pops up is Riven, she used to be Noxian but she witnessed a biochemical terror attack that killed many Ionians and Noxians alike. She went on self-imposed exile to seek atonement and find a way to serve her vision of the Pure Noxian spirit but the nation accused her of deserting thus she was a fugitive until captured. The last story takes place in an area called Ionia. In a way, think of a more tranquil part of the land, Japanese aesthetics. A lot more focus on pursuit of balance in things, from the material and spirit world and a lot more lush mountains, forest and waters. They are under assault from a Noxian attack. This story includes 7 champions, Ireliea lady with the flying swords, Karama who uses the shields, Akali that uses the smoke bomb, Yasuo who uses the sword and causes the tornado, & Kennen who has electricity powers. They are under attack by the Big giant called Sion who is a Noxus general.
Riot Games Lore Universes The main universe Arcane, Legends of Runeterra, Riot Forge League of Legends Universe Site_Full Canon skins. Secondary are Non-Canon lore alternative skins such as: Project, Star Guardians,... [Ps KDA, Heartsteel, True Damage, Pentakill are in the same music bands Universe] Completely out of space is VALORANT.
All the scenes in these two videos except for cait/vi and the bowing guy are probably happening in the next series after Arcane, Riot confirmed Demacia (chain guy), Noxus (gladitors), Ionia (big war with blade dancer) as the next locations for shows
To learn more about the characters in the cinematic, you can check their lore and where they're from on the League of Legend's official site. It would be better if you check them after watching each cinematic and discuss it, in my opinion. Edit: For example in Awaken trailer, the robotic woman and piano guy fights in Zaun. The woman is an enforcer and we haven't seen her in the show but we might in the future.
This is not different universe - at least almost all of LOL lore Enjoyers though before Arcane (still masterpiece show for me), but now everything is messed up and no one has clear answers (even developers).
That's what i hate about arcane. This Caitlyn should've been the canon one, like a Royal British looking Victorian era lady, NOT Asian woman that looks the same as Mulan. Also Caitlyn & Vi wasn't a couple in old lore, they were BUDDIES, A strict high class officer and a badass brute officer. Riot had an issue regarding gender inequality in their company and they thrashed the whole monster bizarre looking character IP and lean more to cutesy thirst traps characters and skin designs. And then they retconned everything, they started to listen to the fans meme and stupidly followed them. Back then the fans minority shipped Cait and Vi, because why not? 4chan is popular and will ship everything, even Riven & Zac, TF & Graves. My point is Riot is being dictated by the public. If everyone like 80% of the fans speculates that Isha is alive, 100% riot will find a way to make it true. These bastards have no solid storyline structure. Kda Gragas? really? This shit is just a meme by the fans. They already had a solid lineup of Girl Group, and now there's Gragas, what are they gonna do about the skinline collection, put a bunch of hot girls + 1 fatso? Dumb idea it's not even an april fools skin in which this one should belong.
Bro is crushing out for exactly non reasonable things. Arcane did retconed many things and made them worse, but it's definitely not those you mentioned. Cait Vi were insanely implied from the moment they released Vi, they just couldn't go full on with it, because there were different old times, as we can see even now when world more tolerant there are people like you who will rage about it. And KDA Gragas... Are you good? KDA Gragas isn't a part of a KDA, he isn't even a part of a Fan Group like Neeko or Lillia, it's just a community made skin for LoL birthday. This part just shows how much you know about things you're talking about.
Ok, there are two other bangers you need to react to:
THE CALL and STILL HERE
I swear ur gonna love it. The call is personally my favourite because of the stunning graphics (and because my main, kai'sa, has a great scene in it). But still here is great too because of its storytelling.
Awaken is kinda direction we all will see in next series after Arcane from Riot.Ionia(fighting girl in war) Demacia (in Warriors blonde girl using light magic) and Noxus (Gladiator Arena) are regions in series
if i remember this correctly, the ionia bit is supposed to be first invasion, the one Swain failed in, before he took the Demons abilities, which obviously places this invasion before the Arcane events since, the Ravens are already there. or, also possible, i remember that one wrong. always possible, i'm getting old me thinks.
"Kin of the stained blade" is what I'm waiting for. I just know Mski will be mindblown.
"The Path, An Ionian Myth" is *necessary* to watch before that tho
In-case you don't have a good playlist
Here's a good playlist in order I recommend
Enter the Freljord - oldest cinematic
Cool cinematics
-A Twist of Fate (11 years old)
-A New Dawn (9 years old)
Music videos
-Get Jinxed (10 years old)
-Warriors (ft imagine dragons ) world 2014 - 9 years old
-The Curse of the Sad Mummy - Amumu (9 years olds)
-Pentakill: Mortal Reminder Music video
Ruinnation event
-The Harrowing - Tales of the Black Mist
-Senna Dark Passage *
-The Climb 2018
-Senna Shadows Embrace
Champion Teasers
-Bard: Mountain
-Ekko Seconds
-Warwick” The Wrath of Zaun
-Xayah & Rakan: Wild Magic
-(watch “THE CALL” before this one cinematic ) -* All that will ever be | Bel’Veth cinematic
-Finality: Aurelion Sol champion update
Skin Trailers
-Project Skins
Season trailers (these are considered their top-notch cinematics, they release one trailer every new season of the game typically and usually what most fans wait for each year, even non-league players watch these cinematics
-Awaken 2019
-Warriors | Season2020
-The Call | Season 2022
-Still Here | Season 2024
Cool short clips
-The Light within - elementalist lux
-Annie: origins
-Welcome Aboard - Odyssey Animated trailer
-“The Path, An Ionian Myth” then “Kin of the Stained Blade”
Champion re-work trailers (these are when they make trailers for champions who have been re-worked. League is an on-going game that still runs on an old engine, as of so far they haven’t decided to update the engine, but it’s a live service game. Each year they release new champions, effects, etc. Basically old champs can fall behind from graphics, gameplay, etc. so every season they will re-work a few champs and launch a trailer to tease them)
-Fiddlesticks: terror in Demacia
Tip for all of these, they should be in the playlist on leagues youtube page and easy to find. I omitted some that are already mentioned. I put * symbol by some because they are best watched in an order. For example, you can find the ruination event if you look up “sentinels of light” - and playlist by timfernix (ironically ruination event is not a playlist on leagues youtube page lol)
Start watching all the League of Legends animated music videos:
1) Phoenix
2) Legends Never Die
3) Enemy
4) Rise
5) Breathe
6) K/DA (This is K-Pop music)
Then there are the Tales of Runeterra:
Noxus
Demacia
Freljord
Bilgewater
Don't Mess With The Yordles
Ionia
Shadow Isles
Targon
Piltover and Zaun
Shurima
Then there's the ORIGIN stories and Summoner's Rift Cinematics.
Annie
Darius
Warwick
Fiddlesticks
Ekko
Amumu
Xayah and Rakan
The Path, An Ionian Myth
Kin of The Stained Blade
Ryze Call of Power
A New Dawn
Feeding Frenzy
(two newest one's are "blood, Sweat, Tears" & "Heavy is the Crown - Linkin Park Music video")
And I recommend reacting to "Bridging The Rift- Making of Arcane"
I also recommend "Neacrit" he is a long time youtuber, like 9/10 years who just focuses soley on league content and lore. I recommend "Riot MMO is almost done" as it gives you a simple overview of the land of runeterra and each region.
The League of Legends universe consists of four "dimensions": 1. Void; 2. Celestial; 3. Spirit Realm and 4. Physical in the form of the planet Runeterra,
There are no infinity stones here.
But different types of magic and Runes = Runeterra.

Spirit Race and Humans and then Animalistic Humanoid Races.

Or in Shurima, with the help of the Sun Disc, I reflect celestial magic into the chosen people to create the Ascended Shuriman golden god warriors, where some failed and were created Baccai = Ramus and others were Ascended Sunborn Nasus, Renekton,...

All of this is intended to serve as a defensive shield against the Void and its watchers, who seek to destroy reality by creating rifts in the Void through which voidmakers and monsters can pass, devouring and destroying.
Or by controlling and corrupting the minds and bodies of beings on Runeterra.
When i see her hugging that plushie all i can think is, let her watch "don't mess with Yordles" please. 😉
The Awaken, Warriors, The Call, Still Here Cinematic are canon to Arcane Universe. Just like Riot Forge Games: Song of Nunu;....
But Ekko Convergence is not is the some Arcane continuity if you watch on RUclips Convergence post credit scene you will know why.
Ps Snow scenes of Frerjord parts from these cinematics are happening in present time as Riot Forge Song of Nunu.
The boy with the crystal who got saved by Kaisa, the girl in purple, is Ezreal, it's honestly kind of odd they didn't really have anything point to him in Arcane because he is from Piltover too.
Not everyone is gonna be covered in Arcane because it focuses more on the Zaun/Pilt conflict rather than a broad scope of stories.

As Christian Linke said chatacters like that are next generation. For example Camille's, Ezreal's, Seraphine's etc lore are based on the fact that hextech was already a thing for a while.
Pretty sure Ezreal is rarely in piltover since he is usually out raiding stuff.
Always funny to see arcane fans see Cait and Vi.
These cinematography tell stories of League of Legend lore. Each site has its history and its moment in history, these fragments are moments in the history of different champs. And that is why cinematography is so special for league players.
Well, the next ones I assume will be the Call and Still here
The girl in the ring is Riven, she has a very sad story fitting to be in a tv show. She used to be a Noxian soldier but then she realized that noxus is bad and doesnt want to be part of the war machine anymore, obviously noxus treated her as a traitor and the rest you can figure out. She has a enchanted sword by LeBlanc, the sword has similar runes to the ones Rictus used in Arcane. That sword got shattered later in the Ionian war, and she uses the shattered in half sword to fight, LeBlanc wants it back as Riven is a traitor now. Also a fun fact is that Alex Yee the co-creator of Arcane and one of the writers of the show created Riven and many other champions (also Caitlyn) when he was working at Riot in the champion team years before starting to work on Arcane. Riven is one of his favorite characters. So if we move in the next show to Noxus i could see Riven being part of it.
10:41 To see more of the lore I recommend watching Necrit's video on it, where he explains the world of Runterra. I can also recommend watching the "The Call" and "Still Here" cinematics next, and also Necrit's lore videos he made about them, especially the "Still Here" lore video.
Yeee
League is pretty much a mix of every type of fantasy universe in one game. Riot's answer to what type of character should we make next is simply - yes!
If you wanna be truly jaw-dropped by a "real" face check the Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred official release date trailer. Witcher 4 just came close but the quality was only there for some close ups.
FYI, I am keeping my synopsis brief as I can. I could include each character's backstory and background, but it would be too long.
Warriors Lore
It consists of three different stories. The opening story is the land of Demacia which highlights 4 champions, Garen, Lux, Galio and Sylas. Garen is the big soldier & top general of the demacian army, Lux is the lady with the magic wand and sister of Garen and Galio is the statue that arrives at the end. The people attacking are led by Sylas who used to be a demacian, but was exiled and enslaved by the nation because he saved two kids who were being hunted by Demancian mageseekers, thus also revealing he had magic powers himself. Sylas magic allows him to steal powers of other champs in-game, which is why you see a yellow sword animate after he knocks back Garen. Sylas does not like demacia and wants to tear down everything it represents. The land of Demacia does not like magic and forbids it. They are deemed a noble and righteous nation, but truly hate magic and magic users. Though some can do so because of their notability and family ties, but mostly are afraid to still use their mage powers (aka why Lux hesitates to call the wand, she doesn't want to be revealed as a mage user). Galio is basically a huge statue that represents the nation of Demacia and can be activated in two ways, one is he will animate and come alive if he detects any magic users nearby or if he is called upon (also demacia and noxus are bitter rivals as nations). The second story I will just go over but opens up with some henchman walking up towards a person called Urgot. This story includes, as you know, Caitlyn, Vi, and Urgot. You already know Caitlyn and Vi, but Urgot is new obviously. Urgot used to be a high end - executioner (meaning high nobility) for the land of Noxus (referenced in Arcane by Mels mother). Noxus as a nation can be slightly hard to explain. Overall they are viewed as an evil, expansionist nation that likes war. But internally they just value strength above all else. Ironically and not to retcon the show, they offer any many new nations they conquer a chance to join the nation of Noxus from lowest citizen to highest official. If you can do something and you have the willpower to show your value, you will do well. In short they are a meritocracy which values individuals abilities, strength and talents vs wealth, social class or race. One its highest generals - Darius, started out in the slums in Noxus with his brother Draven and they worked their way up to the highest rank of the army. In short, if you are weak, you will not survive in Noxian society. Back to Urgot He was tricked by Swain who wanted to become a general of the Noxus, and Swain sent Urgot to Piltover/Zaun to hunt down a traitor of Noxus. Urgot didn't realize he was set up, so he was captured and sent to the mines of Zaun where his body was worn and torn. Eventually Urgot realized the mines made him stronger and considered parts of his body weak so he mechanically altered himself over time. He eventually became a warrior of the chembarons of Zaun, but Piltover locked him up which is why the henchmen are trying to release him. The last story includes Ezreal and Kai’sa. To keep it short, Ezreal is just a person who likes to travel the land and find old relics. He is attacked by Voidlings which are from “The Void.” and he is saved by Kai’sa. Kai’sa is from one of the most ancient lands of Runeterra called “Shurima. LONG ago, a majority of the land was literally sucked up by “The Void” and Kai’sa village went under. Kai’sa only survived because she decided to go deeper into the void and eventually a piece of the void combined with her skin and transformed her; it gave her abilities and after escaping from the Void, she has vowed to defend all of Runeterra from any future Void events. (In league of legends lore, there are a few world ending events that can happen and “The Void” is one of them. Only way to defeat it would be that all of Runeterra would have to come together to fight the Void.)
Awaken Lore
Again consist of three stories. The opening story takes place in the nation of Piltover at a theater. It includes two champions called Jhin and Camille. Jhin basically is a serial killer who gets thrilled off killing people. He is being hunted by Camille who is a leader of Piltover police. She has altered her body with hextech as she wants to be superior to others, more specifically to catch stronger and more bad people who could be stronger than her if she didn’t have the hextech.The second story takes place in a colosseum in the land of Noxus. The two champions here would be Draven and Riven. Draven, as mentioned above, worked his way up along with his brother Darius to high ranks in the Noxian military. He is enjoying a fight and the lady who pops up is Riven, she used to be Noxian but she witnessed a biochemical terror attack that killed many Ionians and Noxians alike. She went on self-imposed exile to seek atonement and find a way to serve her vision of the Pure Noxian spirit but the nation accused her of deserting thus she was a fugitive until captured. The last story takes place in an area called Ionia. In a way, think of a more tranquil part of the land, Japanese aesthetics. A lot more focus on pursuit of balance in things, from the material and spirit world and a lot more lush mountains, forest and waters. They are under assault from a Noxian attack. This story includes 7 champions, Ireliea lady with the flying swords, Karama who uses the shields, Akali that uses the smoke bomb, Yasuo who uses the sword and causes the tornado, & Kennen who has electricity powers. They are under attack by the Big giant called Sion who is a Noxus general.
hopefully some ofthis caracter will be in the next seasons of the show
Riot Games Lore Universes
The main universe Arcane, Legends of Runeterra, Riot Forge League of Legends Universe Site_Full Canon skins.
Secondary are Non-Canon lore alternative skins such as: Project, Star Guardians,...
[Ps KDA, Heartsteel, True Damage, Pentakill are in the same music bands Universe]
Completely out of space is VALORANT.
All the scenes in these two videos except for cait/vi and the bowing guy are probably happening in the next series after Arcane, Riot confirmed Demacia (chain guy), Noxus (gladitors), Ionia (big war with blade dancer) as the next locations for shows
To learn more about the characters in the cinematic, you can check their lore and where they're from on the League of Legend's official site. It would be better if you check them after watching each cinematic and discuss it, in my opinion.
Edit: For example in Awaken trailer, the robotic woman and piano guy fights in Zaun. The woman is an enforcer and we haven't seen her in the show but we might in the future.
good cinematics, game like phone graphics unistall
watch warwick trailer, also the call and still here
More league of legends cinematic
Please also watch DANDADAN
This is not different universe - at least almost all of LOL lore Enjoyers though before Arcane (still masterpiece show for me), but now everything is messed up and no one has clear answers (even developers).
Check cross the line 21 pilots
It's been 5 days since you last posted a demon slayer episode. We're waiting for your next upload here in your channel. Update pls...
react the call and still here pls
That's what i hate about arcane. This Caitlyn should've been the canon one, like a Royal British looking Victorian era lady, NOT Asian woman that looks the same as Mulan. Also Caitlyn & Vi wasn't a couple in old lore, they were BUDDIES, A strict high class officer and a badass brute officer. Riot had an issue regarding gender inequality in their company and they thrashed the whole monster bizarre looking character IP and lean more to cutesy thirst traps characters and skin designs. And then they retconned everything, they started to listen to the fans meme and stupidly followed them. Back then the fans minority shipped Cait and Vi, because why not? 4chan is popular and will ship everything, even Riven & Zac, TF & Graves.
My point is Riot is being dictated by the public. If everyone like 80% of the fans speculates that Isha is alive, 100% riot will find a way to make it true. These bastards have no solid storyline structure.
Kda Gragas? really? This shit is just a meme by the fans. They already had a solid lineup of Girl Group, and now there's Gragas, what are they gonna do about the skinline collection, put a bunch of hot girls + 1 fatso? Dumb idea it's not even an april fools skin in which this one should belong.
Sheesh. Chill my dude.
Bro is crashing out in real time
reasonable crashout, agree with everything
Bro is crushing out for exactly non reasonable things. Arcane did retconed many things and made them worse, but it's definitely not those you mentioned. Cait Vi were insanely implied from the moment they released Vi, they just couldn't go full on with it, because there were different old times, as we can see even now when world more tolerant there are people like you who will rage about it.
And KDA Gragas... Are you good? KDA Gragas isn't a part of a KDA, he isn't even a part of a Fan Group like Neeko or Lillia, it's just a community made skin for LoL birthday. This part just shows how much you know about things you're talking about.
@@Aaniel_al.Meara. Finally some IQ over here
check out league of legends 2024 still here cinematic, its crazy
