If You Guys Are Out of Lore Ideas
I got some for you.
- Civil war on the Shadow Isles. I have been writing a Fan Fiction for a while now in which the Shadow Isles are a huge focus. There are two sides to the war, there is the side which is trying to establish the Shadow Isles as a nation state, and there is the side trying to maintain the Isles as a state of terror death and destruction and continual growing power. One side has a respect for death and its place in the world and thinks that they have gone too far in stopping the deaths of people for personal gain. The sides are thus.
Honor for Death: Evelynn Karthus Yorick Maokai
Terror of Death: Mordekaiser Hecarim Thresh Elise
I don't understand why you guys haven't tried to do something like this before, the story is right there in the lore just waiting to come out.
- Void Vs Shadow
There is also the matter of the void. I have my own explanation for the void in my work, it was a spell cast by the earliest beings to 'void out' the most terrifying evolutions. The spell is fed by the deaths of people, powered by a type of metal only found on the shadow islands. Mordekaiser's suit is made of it, as is Thresh's and Hecarims. With the deaths of so many on the shadow islands being denied, the void spell is breaking, slowly, and creatures in the void are leaking out. They hunger for death, they hunger for the power contained in the islands themselves.
- Summoners
Summoner needs to be redefined to fit the world before the Institute of War was built. I define a summoner as a person place or thing which can innately pull magic from the world without training. Each one is different in their powers. Mordekaiser worked as a blacksmith as a summoner for the Noxian army, making magical items for them. Evelynn was sent to kill Morde after he betrayed them. Evelynn has the innate ability to use emotions to draw magic from her surroundings.
After the league of legends was created, it was also a spell cast upon the world, drawing magic away from most of Runeterra into concentrated spots where the battlegrounds are. Many champions are just there to draw from this magic, Morde is there to steal it. And Evelynn is there to free herself from the control of the shadow isles. Many other champions can be explained this way. Summoners now days are taught how to pull champions into battle and use them accordingly.
Seriously though. Revamping the story and just deleting everything is the WORST thing you can do.
People want to feel connected to the story, they want a reason to play the game. I haven't played League in days after I read that post. After working on this book for a while now, I just realized I wasted my time. I wanted to seriously pitch it, but I guess that isn't going to happen now.
Anyone who is interested in reading the first chapter of the fan fiction I posted it below it needs some editing probably, but it is the base idea for an origin of Morde and Evelynn.
