Links to related threads: Holy Lunar Prison Tartown The Dream Realm Sir Gram the Evil
With chaos spreading over Runeterra, stronger and stronger individuals appearing, war breaking out in varios places and ancient magic being released, even other realms are being affected. With many unusual phenomena occurring, rifts into foreign worlds appearing out of nowhere, wild magic rampaging through the world, something had to happen.
Five stages of the E.N.D. started occurring though out the world, warning people of eventual chaos of third rune war.
- Reality distortion and gateway to the world of the nightmares. When creatures from the dream realm started appearing in Valoran, it was only the matter of time when will permanent rift to the dream realm appears. Now, one appeared near ancient ruins of Shurima, allowing dream beings to invade Runeterra to no end.
- Opening gates to the underworld, as the dead will be flooding back to the world of the living. Tartown, an undead giant and a prison to evil souls was summoned into Runeterra, together with all demons inside, was the beginning of demonic invasion into Valoran.
- Forgotten god returning back to from oblivion. As lunar temple crumbled down, moon god's presence started surface back into universe, raining down into Runeterra lunar magic more than any time before.
- Angels stepping down from the heavens to fight against chaos and darkness. While several angels were residing in Valoran quite some time, a doorway was opened to the world of angels and a small army of them entered Valoran. They offered their help fighting against fores of darkness, but angels have another purpose being here - control of Runeterra.
- Human killing a human, god killing a god, when hear of gold is pierced by claws of darkness, life disappears form this world. While this haven't happened yet, the time of the last stage of the E.N.D is drawing close.
Armies are preparing for the war, forces of darkness and light are stirring up, even celestials are feeling uneasy, because fifth stage might happen at any time. Or maybe, a hero will rise, to stop this war from happening and will save the world from destruction. Only time will tell.
Now, army of demons and nightmare beings are forming near the ruins of Shurima, while angels are heavily supported by Demacia. Some people of the north view this as a sing of return of the Watchers, while Void worshipers see this as dark destiny they envisioned. However, there is a presence, dark and vile, orchestrating all these events, trying to hasten the E.N.D. This presence isn't one of mortals, neither does it belong to immortal or a god. It belongs to the chaos itself, creator of underworld and beginning of everything which is evil. Sir Gram the Evil - malevolent being made out of death, suffering and madness, is working day and night to bring destruction to every world and every realm, and recreation of universe in his own image. There is no evil greater than him, there is no bigger threat. Now, heroes of Runeterra have to protect their home, fight against demons, nightmares and even an incarnation of evil. Third rune war is about to happen and the aftermath of it will be the eradication of life in Runetera. Will heroes of Valoran be able to stop this war from happening? Or will the evil win?

Well, there it is. This is my lore concept. I made it, because LoL lore don't have any clear threat or big evil power. All evil champions will not be killed off or anything, nothing big is really happening, so i think it would be fun to start preparation to the big event, ann also reveal many hidden things in the lore. For example:
Ruined King could be resurrected to fight in this war, more lore about him would be released;
and other darkins wouldn't miss a chance to participate in this massive war, so other darkins could be revealed;
lore can be improved and renewed;
and so on.
