Hey everyone, my name is Daniel! I've been playing League for about 5-6 years, and I've always been fascinated by the care that goes into creating and tailoring the lore of each character. I'm currently in my second year of university at Mcgill, and my passion for creative writing and world-building has never been stronger. If there's an opportunity over the late spring and summer of 2018, I would love to be a part of the process Riot goes through when introducing new lore/elements into the game. Unfortunately, I just don't know who to get in touch with to get more information. Would someone mind pointing me in the right direction?

Thanks a bunch! [sg-ezreal]

Hey Daniel,

I am probably not the best person to ask but I'm an artist on Worldbuilding /Foundations team, AMA :)

Also here are some links about behind the scenes on lore updates : Forum post with player asking about Foundations Building Bilgewater (article) Talking Targon ( There was also two podcast with the writers about Shurima and Shadow Isles, but unfortunately the links seems broken, I've reached out to ask what's up with that ) DEV: ON STORY HOOKS Reintroducing Demacia ( video ) Building Runeterra ( why Riot is putting a lot of efforts into making an IP )

There should be another video (very similar to the Demacia one) about Targon coming out this weekend. Edit : there it is

Hope this helps, For anything else, AMA !

I think reaching out to some writers from Riot on twitter could be helpful, I know CoolRadius, FauxSchizzle and JohnODyin are all accommodating people and can chat about what they've written
