Hi! My name is MrGuybrush, streamer and youtuber, and for the past weeks I've been very interested in the lore of League of Legends, mainly because of Arcane. I've never played LoL so I'm just focusing on the lore for now. I want to learn the story to enjoy more the upcoming MMORPG, whenever that happens. A lot of you suggested Necrit to get an idea on how the lore is and I deliver!

You should check out Necrits other video "The World of Riots MMO is Already Done" it goes over each of the regions of Runeterra in more detail!
I had planned going over the world map on another video! Definitely will check Necrit's video after, this is a long journey to learn the lore, I'm very invested 😊
@@MrGuybrush all of necrits videos are amazing, he goes over league lore in a way no other creator can tell
@@MrGuybrush I recommend all of the Riot MMO videos done by Necrit because they explain a lot of stuff (at least the World, Race&Classes and Raid Bosses videos)
@@lexpanics6872 True, he really is the lore guy
there are 2 physical books, "Garen: First Shield" and "Ruination: A League of Legends Novel"
*3 books. Ruination is also a book.
Garen: First Shield doesn't have a physical edition as far as I know. It's digital only.
@@LettucePlate huh, it looks like it would be physical
There is also Realms Of Runeterra
It's OK to watch Necrit for introduction in Runeterra's lore, but keep in mind that some older videos are mostly or even fully outdated, because lore updates and modernising very often.
And another thing to keep in mind, that Necrit is just a human from outside of Riot, and most of the info is based on his experience and theories, so sometimes or I would say often he is mistaken.
Wow, Necrit's english speaking skills improved a lot now that I listen to him talk in his old videos.
Firstly I just want to say I love your reactions and I am so excited to see your future reactions! At some point in this video you apologised for pausing, but I personally love when reactors pauses and talks about what they think, since that's kind of the point of reactions. Anyways this youtuber you just watched called Necrit is definitely the biggest face in League Of Legends Lore, and he's been doing videos about it for years. His content is also cleaner and better nowadays then in the video you reacted to which is from 5 years ago, and about 1 year ago he did 5 videos about the world of Runeterra to create hype for the mmo (even though the mmo won't be out until we're all in elderly homes). Those videos are amazing and talk a lot about the world, and are in my opinion the by far best videos to learn the lore, and big reactors like Asmongold have watched them and loved them.
Those videos are:
''The World of Riot's MMO is Already Done''
''Races & Classes of Riot's MMO According to Lore''
''The Bosses & Raids of Riot's MMO''
''Legendary Loot of Riot's MMO According to Lore''
''Every Possible Mount of Riot's MMO According to Lore''
After you've watched all of them you're gonna know a lot about the world and understand a lot more, but still so many interesting characters and story lines yet to be explored, which means that by then if you're still as interested, you have a great starting point and can more accurately know which parts to explore of the world.
Though fair warning those videos range from 20 minutes to an hour, so they can be a bit lengthy. Anyways I hope you keep reacting to league related stuff and keep up the good work!
WOW, thank you SO much for the thoughtful comment. This is both really good contructive feedback and great ideas for future videos! I'm writing everything down and your should see this in upcoming videos! 😊
I'm so excited to be learning about this lore. I had no idea it was so detailed. They really laid all the groundwork to have a deep MMORPG in the future, and I want to be ready for it! Also for Arcane Season 2 🤣
There is also another old video from Necrit that complements this one. It is a Time Line of all the important events in the lore, and it touches in some other details of more modern lore, including things closer to Arcane. The video is " Official Timeline of League of Legends", if you would like to check it out

May the force be with you.
And may you lead the force. :hand_splayed:
Glad you are getting into this with us bud! Hope you like everything else about league, it's definitively worth checking!
You should definitively go check the League's Cinematics (every of them, specially the music videos, all of them except for a couple ones (the Imagine Dragons collab ones) are copyright free, Jinx has its own song called Get Jinxed, and Ekko has a band which is called True Damage)
There are a lot of compilations of every league cinematic untill now
And maybe if you'd like, check out the Characters Interactions (Voice-lines in-game)
Hope to keep seeing you reacting to any league stuff!
EDIT: Important Fact you gotta take in mind, RIOT recently changed the way lore works, basically due multi-universes existing to explain multiple non-related scenarios and some other anomalies on lore, and now changed some stories and stuff to create a UNIQUE AND UNIFIED UNIVERSE, which is the Arcane Universe, so RIOT basically is fitting the whole universe arround the Arcane story and recent cinematics, which are 100% Cannon from this year and on (there are not THAT MANY changes made but there are some for sure to the story to keep it consistent, but most of the story did not required a change to co-exist in the known Arcane lore, and the skins are alternative universes that do exists but that multiverse for skins are going to remain the same, alternative universes/stories)
Thank you so much for watching! I am definitely enjoying all this lore, despite not playing the games 😂😂 There's a lot of depth to it, to my surprise. I have a bunch of ideas on what to check on next videos, and the cinematics are on top of my list! 👀
@@MrGuybrush Keep it up! Added some extra details above just for u to know, great video streak coming ahead, waiting for them!
True, though to be fair almost nothing that's touched on this video is getting changed, since it doesn't dive into the modern era of runeterra at all -- which is when Arcane takes place.
@@MrGuybrush Yeaaaaah it is possible that Shimmer is conected t9 the void.
Ryze is like the main character of the league lore
It's a theory that
The End Of Reality = The Watchers = The Void Rifts = Voidlings = Any living creature tainted by The Void = Fast growing/mutation + healing + purple = Shimmer of Arcane
Remember Singed talking about his pet Lizard Rio being a RARE creature he found? Rio the lizard is most likely a voidling of some kind, and people of Zaun are drinking void juice, which is why they heal faster, and get super speed. It's even a better guess since... Remember that rat in ARC EP 1 that killed a cat? We have a champion in LoL called Twitch, and guess what he has purple/pink eyes matching Shimmer, and yep he lives in Zaun.
I agree with pigzie9988 I would also recommend this video, also by Necrit. It explains a lot more modern era, while this video explains the past. It's a good follow up video.
The World of Riot's MMO is Already Done
This theory is supported by the fact that int the factory of shimmer that Vi and Jayce attack the shimmer that is being produced is coming from a purple looking creature that, when Vi breaks the machine, seems to die as it turn grey-ish.
Necrit is probably the number 1 League lore person, there are others but I feel that he just tell it in such good ways, he might also the biggest but I do not know as I don't really watch any others.
Also love how you react its a really good watch and you said you liked his accent so felt like I could tell you he's from the Czech Republic. Hope you watch more of his stuff and learn about the lore.
21:01 Heimer is a yordle...he is very old, he saw the rune wars and for that he was afraid of the hextech that Jayce and Victor do "for progress"
LETSSSS GOOO!!! ANOTHER RUNETERRA LORE FAN TO WATCH
21:13 We're talking about ~1500 years, but yes. That's what traumatized Heimerdinger. Yes, he's that old.
1:51 The 3 regions we hear about in Arcane are Piltover, Zaun, and Noxus. Noxus is where Medarda comes from.
Gran trabajo con el video!
Sigue así.
Un saludo.
Gracias amigo! 😊
Bro the fcking subtitles are melting my brain
Necrit: Demacia
UA-cam: the mafia
3:07 The thing is, until very recently, all their games were technically slightly different versions of the lore. Now that everything is unified with Arcane at the center, a few champions and stories are now out of date, such as Blitzcrank's, Warwick's, probably Camille's, etc. It'll take a few years before everything finally falls into place.
Almost everything related to League of Legends is actually really good. The problems that arise stem from the community that plays the main game. There are some good eggs in the bunch, but it's swarming with toxicity. Everything other than that should be great though lol
You have to remember that Piltover, which includes the Undercity which would later become Zaun, is completely against magic. That's why Jayce got into so much trouble with the council. It wasn't until Jayce and Viktor perfected Hextech that the city started embracing it as a source of energy, like we use electricity. They still don't trust raw magic. That's why you don't see more of it.
Then, thanks to Silco, Zaun embraces something called Chemtech, which uses Shimmer as its power source, rather than magic.
Everybody forgeting about Viktor being taunted and turning into a Void creature 😂
the lore of league after humans appeared there is a big "try me bitch" from the humans to anything that set foot on runeterra, and then they fight among them until another alien needs a beating
Great video! I think the natural next step is reacting to all of the League of Legends cinematics. There, are a lot, so I don't expect to see them all in one video, but I believe that you would really enjoy them, and learn a lot from watching.
On League of legends Universe site you have moustly all Canon comics.
And yes Riot Games has League of Legends book, Ruination book, Garen First Shield novela and three comics Zed, Ashe and Lux Comics that you could buy.
In physical form or e-book.
And on Riot Forge site is Katarina comic and Song of Nunu comic which are Prequel to the Games Mageseeker and Song of Nunu.
Remember: Piltover (& Zaun) were created to "escape the warmongering of mages" so, of course, there weren't a lot of magicy stuff happening in Arcane. This is a detail many seem to forget. In Arcane is also when Piltover first started using magic but through science, so this is when hextech slowly started becoming a thing.
There are mages in Piltover & Zaun (a few of them are champions), but I think they are either rare there or they are very good at hiding. But now that hextech is accepted, I imagine mages would be accepted as well.
Nah, Jinx is just mentally unwell.
The magic crystals in Arcane are not World Runes. They were just magical crystals. World Runes are different.
5:43 The arcane runes and world runes are very different though. There're 5-6 world runes, each possessing tremendous power. You can see 4 iirc in the Call of Power cinematic where we see Ryze travel the world, looking for a world rune.
11:11 Jinx is crazy because she was traumatized and injected with shimmer. Not everything has to be connected.
Fun reaction. Keep watching Necrit's videos they're always fun. One thing though: the generated video captions that you are watching are not accurate and very misleading. For example: the people at the top of mount Targon are.. targonians.. not dragonians and the "crown" they offered sol was a crown... not a "ground" etc... So just be mindful so that you are not distracted and given false information. Trust in your ears when listening to necrit and only toggle the generated captions when you absolutely coudlnt hear anything.
Great video bud!! You should check out Nectrits Riot MMO videos too. He also explains a lot about the lore there. Different information then in this overall video 😊❤
If you want to read some of the best short stories on the lore website for free, those would be my picks:
"Where Icathia Once Stood"
"Twilight of the Gods" (can be seen as kind of a sequel to "Where Icathia Once Stood")
"Silence for the Damned"
"City of Iron and Glass"
When necrit talks about "vastaya" are the human sized animal people (like the bat guy that was with ekko) and "yordles" are the little creatures like heimerdinger or this acuatic yordle 7:05
20:00 notice that heimedinger is pointing at simmilar events like this considering the hexcore.
when he sais viktor has to get rid of it, and nobody knows how dangerous it is to try and control the arcane magic.
i saw nations beeing destroyed by a single seed, and it looked exactly like this.
hes probally not pointing at the runde wars, considiring his age, but probally simmilar smaller events, which were still devastating.
it was already confirmed through Vex that Yordles have been around since time immemorial as they themselves are beings of pure magic and are actual immortals.
chances are all Yordles have lived through or at least witness by way of Bandle City portals the devastation of the Rune Wars.
Necrit is great, dude is so good at the lore they made him canon in League, he has a character in one of the offshoot stories, Ruined King. Check out his vid on the MMO story being mostly written already, itll give a big overview of the world.
You mentioned wondering if there are books and there is one! It's called ruination and its absolutely fantastic.
It also has an audiobook variant where all the characters are voiced by their official voice actors.
They have a lot of short stories on the universe webpage, it would be cool to see you exploring the interactive runeterra map.
If you love reading that webpage has a lot of entertaining lore, some stories are not even connected to a specific champion, but tell a historical event, like "Where Icathia once stood".
Also there's a lightnovel called First Shield that is on demacia, a lot of comics for different champions, some comics were in collab with marvel.
There's a book called ruination, really good, tells you the lore of the shadow isles before they fell, when they were the blessed isles. It was written by Anthony Reynolds, the one you mention at 10:48 that wrote some warhammer stuff. He also wrote some short stories on the league universe page.
11:05 Shimmer is a new addition to the lore that came from arcane, there was little mentions of shimmer before arcane, but Zaun chemtech was mainly green before Arcane. Some of the theories say that the purple flowers Singed uses to make shimmer in arcane, are void corrupted flowers, that's why the hexcore became very voidlike after viktor used shimmer. League's lore has their specific color themes associated with stuff, green is chemtech, red is bloodmagic, blue is arcane magic, and purple, is associated to the void.
19:45 the rune wars, this is what heimerdinger remembers in his flashbacks, also the Ruination book tells how they started. That's why heimer fears the rune matrix
Funny you mention about the webpage! I literally just released a video about me going through everything related to Zaun and I plan on going through the short stories too!
As for the books, I really want to check them out as well. Not sure how to tackle that content-wise, but should fun regardless!
Thank you so much for your detailed reply about my comments, I'm learning a lot! 🤗
18:40 ZOE MENTIONED RAHHHH WHAT THE FUCK IS A NON ONE SHOT COMBO RAHHH
ZOE MENTIONED RAAAH WTHA THE FUCK IS LEGAL AGE
@@hungryguy560 Shes to old to care and somehow also to childish to care.
they do have books. I would recommend the Ruination. If you like game of throne or somehting of sort, you would love the book
Medarda is from Noxus :)
Think of Arcane like the tip of the iceberg that is League of legends lore as a whole. They can make 10 more shows with how much they got going in there (sadly riot doesn't really make an effort to make it more coherent, they got a lot of plot holes and nonsense as well). Arcane is also more like an alternative universe so characters don't really match their champion counterparts in lore and story. Himerdinger is the one who strays the most since his champion self is all about using magic tech and obsessed with it just like Jayce.
That's so funny because I'm literally editing a deep dive video about Piltover and I made that comment about Heimerdinger after reading his bio. Glad I got confirmation that I'm not crazy haha 🤣
Thank you so much for watching! I can't wait to discover more of the iceberg!
20:05 no sé si recuerdas, pero en Arcane, Hermerdinger siempre estuvo en contra de usar magia en Piltover, porque él había visto "ese poder en malas manos" hacia referencia a esto, a las guerras runicas, o mejor dicho "Rune wars" en la que mortales quemaron el mundo entero usando magia. Hermerdinger, al ser inmortal, presenció esto. Se cree (no está confirmado) pero se cree que ese globo flotante que Viktor ha creado para curar su enfermedad es equilavente a una de estas runas, pero creado de forma artificial.
Great video! You should wantch some music videos and cinematics, especially legends of runeterra the card game of riot cinematics, they are pretty good!
I will definitely watch all the cinematics and everything that there is! I'm so hyped! Also, it's funny that you mentioned Legends of Runeterra, yesterday I watched one: ua-cam.com/video/pd3zcyL_xiU/v-deo.html
Best one to watch would be: The world of league mmo is already done!! I enjoy the content
If you want a physical book there are "Ruination" and "Realms of Runeterra"
I really want to get Ruination. I would even make a video review of it with my thoughts as a lore noob 😊
Other videos from Necrit are also very informational about the League lore. Especially the League MMO videos he made. I suggest you also watch them.
The video is so old, half the lore is renewed
Not really, actually. The fundamental lore of the Universe haven't changed.
Wrong
Lol who changed it? 😂😂😂
a lot has changed, but barely anything in this video is affected
@@joven_ me
You should watch "The world of Riot MMO is already done" by necrit. That one is much more updated video of the whole lore of runeterra. Also other mmo videos explains other stuff in runeterra. Like the gods, story of most powerful beings and races
I think riot doesn't release cannon books because they tend to redcon lore and rework champions and backstories. So it can be very overwhelming for new fans and players
You should watch "The world of Riot MMO is already done" by necrit. That one is much more updated video of the whole lore of runeterra
My guess is Noxus (where Mel Madarda was from) which was teased in Arcane season 1, will be more central in season 2. Season 3 I'm guessing we will leave Piltover and Zaun entirely and the focus will be Noxus and Ionia. But only time will tell ofc.
It is noxus cause you can see the similarity of her armor and the character darius
this video of Necrits is olddddddd lols lore has been revamped for the show
Yeah I've been told! I like that I can check out old lore and slowly learn how they have retconned it, I got a long way to go haha
I think viktor's have something with the void, the color of the hextec thing changed to purple, that is suspicious
the story hasnt moved forward since that vide which is uh 4 years old? if i remember well.
also he has a TON of new videos on league lore.
Do star guardian lore its sooooooo goood
You should react to Mordekaisers story and voice lines aswell as Aatrox
7:01 Hextech IS magic 😅. It's magic put to use in scientific technology, hence hex-tech.
They have book that has illustrations and stories its a pretty thick book but i think they discontinued it, i cant buy it because i am just a student at that time XD it was like 7$ and last time i checked the price is doubled. I think the book name is World of runeterra or something, its pretty cool
Definitely getting the books as soon as I know a bit more about the lore. I might also do videos reviewing them and stuff
See "the Ruination", one of the best historys in league.
a new league reactor raaah! obligatory aatrox voicelines recommendation
Welll about JInx... No, she is crazy cause she is crazy. She have very unstable childhood with traumas that break her and turn into what u seen well in Arcane. However there is a theory that she is being watched and maybe sligtly manipulated by either Swain (Grand General of Noxus and host of demon Raum), or one of the strongest demons in the universe - Fiddlestick, Primordial Fear. Both of them can control crows, and crows follows Jinx around Arcane quite alot.
Should have watched the necrit mmo lore, that is the correct one
every character in arcana has basitcliy 0 suffocation in the main story
You can learn alot about League's universe from Necrit's videos about Riot's MMO.
I need to check that one out! Everyone keeps mentioning it! 😊
@@MrGuybrush For sure, but be aware to not skip any part, you will learn there also about Piltover and Zaun
This video is pretty old, riot does have a book now
So
How much the details on the video has changed since then?
OMG that subtitle is terrible... youtube plz stop! xD
So i hear you constantly making comments about shimmer being voidborn. From what we know from 2 champs shimmer is just a drug. However that purple glowing ruin that changed Viktor i believe that is the void and its changing him
nice
i would check out some newer videos from necrit about the lore if i was you, as this video is quite outdated since a lot happened in 3 years (im referring to the 3 years after the video's release 5 years ago... casue like...basically nothing happened in the lore in the last 2 years exept for the lore reset...)
I did watch the one that people kept recommending "the world of riot's MMO is already done" and I'm also exploring the lore on my own 😊
you got it wrong. the main focus of runeterra was magic not mechanisms like hextech. even hextech is based on magic so all over arcane you already see magic all around
Yeah I guess outside of Arcane I had no idea that magic was common. In Arcane Jayce and his mom seemed struck in awe at the mage that helped them, so it made me think that magic was rare. Now I'm learning more about the lore and I'm understanding that's not the case 😃 Thanks for watching and clarifying !!
Vastayashai'rei(Shapeshifting Spirit race) + Humans = Vastaya
For you and all you know.
Necrit have something with it so he just doing fun of it.
But Canon is the Spirit Race and Humans and then Animalistic Humanoids.

I think necrit timeline video is more recent
Can you react to the world of riot's mmo is already done by necrit
Definitely on my list of next videos to watch! 👀
this Necrit's video is irrelevant but it still has good content into it
this is a random piece of info but Necrit's accent is Czech
You know what? I've been wondering about that since I reacted to the video haha thank you for clarifying 😂
Oh the days of bad lore are gone, then let's see what lore say about my mains cho'gath and shaco.....
wait, where's lore?
mmiew
watch all necrit's videos on the mmo, they have more modern info and are very much more complete than this one
dang the subtitle sucks
You put too much stock in Arcane ... the characters in there are so tiny they're largely irrelevant.
Jinx is literally the second weakest champion in the entire roster (by lore, not gameplay), and every other character in Arcane are also down there. With the possible exception of Heimerdinger ... dude is a yordle, so if he wanted to he could wipe out the entire city on his own.
the video is a bit old sadly
Yeah, I've been told! Still it's a good base to know more or less if I like the lore (I totally do). I've been deep diving into the lore a bit more since then!
@@MrGuybrush ye but they remake a good amount of the lore to make Arcane canon because like skarner were he got new abilitys design and lore because they make hextech crystal in arcane through an machine and before they slaughter every of skarners race to make crystals out of them and then there are the character that have there lore from the even older lore were riot decided that they just dont really say anything to the world and everything is just summoned by the summoners that was weird because they summoned being like Cho gath and his lore literally says that he eats everything even whole planets thats why not everything there is canon and a vew things got updated
Dota 2 lore is better
Really?? 👀 Need to check that out some day!! I'm just a noob 😂
