I want to introduce a new place in LoL lore and a place where new champions could come. Also, I will make several champion concepts from dream realm and i wonder if anyone would want to join me.


#Dream Realm A place created after first one rune war. Made be several runemages who wanted to explore limits of rune magic. Place made with no limits and no forms. Creators split the place into six sides, or more correctly, six planes, but after many years they changed into grim and sad places to be:

Plane of Progress http://i65.tinypic.com/2e2pis0.jpg

Plane of Kings http://i63.tinypic.com/2qd7fx1.jpg

Plane of Nightmares http://i64.tinypic.com/2zgf282.jpg

Plane of Sanity http://i68.tinypic.com/2m7chub.jpg

Plane of Joy http://i67.tinypic.com/2cmn9k7.jpg

Plane of History http://i63.tinypic.com/1zekri1.jpg

Dream realm was left alone when its creators died during second rune war. Unchecked this realm started to change, or one could say that it started to decay. All things build and created there slowly changed, little by little become twisted. People of Runeterra were connected with this realm, as its name suggest, through their dreams. Many people visited it at least once in their life, some even been there several times, however because they visit it in their astral bodies (dream bodies) they can not change anything there, but people often leave a little parts of themselves in the realm. Those parts grow, change, fuse together or split apart. That's how dream beings are made. Sometimes, when a person dies in his/her sleep, big part of them ends up in the Dream Realm. Creatures born there were different based on what plane they were born and live. Different plane is connected to different type of dreams:

  • Plane of Progress is connected to dreams of being lonely or being curious;
  • Plane of Kings is connected to dreams of being in the nature;
  • Plane of Nightmares is connected to bad and scary dreams;
  • Plane of Sanity is connected to dreams of lost ones and to dream of nostalgia;
  • Plane of Joy is connected to dreams of happiness and to dreams of children;
  • Plane of History is connected to dreams of past and dreams of old people.

Beings from the Dream Realm is usually harmless to people in Runeterra and can't exit this realm. However, there is few exceptions. As time gone by, some dream beings learned how to manipulate living people's dreams. That allowed those beings to move through different planes of the Dream Realm, get stronger and manipulate dreams of people even more. One of such were Nocturne (Nocturne). He got so strong, that he was able to even kill people in their sleep and steal big parts of their souls into himself to become even stronger. He was born in Plane of Nightmares, but spent a lot of time in Plane of Sanity and Plane of Progress. There he learned a lot about Valoran and people there. However, Nocturne wasn't the first or even the strongest of dream beings. Many more creatures still lurks there. They wait for a chance to escape this realm.

The oldest and strongest being in the Dream Realm is something like demi-gods. Because time runs differently in the Dream Realm, many millennia passed there and Nocturne is quite young compared to the oldest beings of the Dream Realm. Currently, there are six dream demi-gods who lives in each plane.

Created by the man, the Dream Realm is no way perfect and there is several ways for creatures to escape it:

  1. Consuming mind and soul of person nearby a Nexus to gain a physical form in Runeterra;
  2. Creating a doorway with a help of a person in Runeterra;
  3. When extremely powerful magician dies in his sleeps;
  4. When time in Runeterra is distorted through time travel;
  5. During failed summoning rituals.

As it is now, there is several ways for dream beings to enter this world. No one knows when it will happen, but it can happen anytime.

As far as i know, Darkins are from Runeterra, however Fiddlestick could be, because he is created when powerful magician died.

Sounds cool, but Nocturne is Zed from future. He doesn't have anything to do with dreams.

Well, Nocturne is reported to be a manifestation of someone's nightmare. If the Nocturne = Zed theory holds any weight, it's most likely Shen that has a nightmare about Zed and that manifests itself through the power of the scroll of shadows as Nocturne.

So technically, Nocturne does have something to do with dreams.

To be precise, Nocturne is manifestation of many nightmares and was drawn out to realm of Runeterra when a person was killed in his dreams nearby Nexus.

"This belief was put to the test when a rash of sleep-related incidents started afflicting summoners of the League. Some would wake up screaming, terrified and beyond consolation. Some could not fall asleep, slowly going mad as the nights ticked by. Some simply never woke up. Physicians were baffled until a Field Architect happened to pass out next to a nexus on the Twisted Treeline. Witnesses said he cried out once and then stopped breathing. Immediately after, magical energy arced out from the nexus, and Nocturne appeared." -- from wiki.

That makes nocturne viable to be from the Dream Realm's plane of nightmares.

Not only the Dream Realm would allow better lore for nocturne, but would open a new place in lore, allow more new champions to be created and even new game mode be created. Possibilities.

Oh, I know about Nocturne's lore - I'm just talking about the recurring Nocturne = Zed from the future theory that's been floating around for years
