What order should I start to read the lore?
I am trying to read the lore but I want to read it in a chronological order like what events happened when and what happened to which characters. Any help with this would be great Thank You.[poppy-wink]

- Shurima
- Void
- Freljord
- Rune Wars
- Shadow Isles (we know it happened after the Rune Wars because Ryze's master Tyrus was from Helia, the capital city of the Blessed Isles)
- Demacia and Noxus
- Ionia
- Piltover/Zaun
- Bilgewater That's the order I would recomend you to read them (at least imo) Bandle City needs a huge lore update.
Most of the lore isn't told as a chronological series of events, however if you want to get a brief overview of Runeterra's history, read the following:
- Lissandra Bio/ Vel'Koz Bio (Early Runeterra and Void introduction)
- Azir Bio (Shurima's history)
- Where Icathia Once Stood short story (Icathian Rebellion during Shurima's Rule)
- Aatrox Bio/ Twilight of the Gods short story (The Darkin Wars)
- Leblanc Bio (The founding of Noxus)
- Ryze Bio (The Rune Wars)
- Galio Bio (The founding of Demacia)
- Maokai Bio (The Ruination/ Shadow Isles)
I think I've covered the majority of historical events. The rest of the lore either slots in around these stories, or take place closer to the current time. Mordekaiser is a weird one, his bio starts before Noxus, he dies at the founding of Noxus and is revived after the Shadow Isles. The one event which we really don't know about is how Targon ascended to the stars or if Celestial Targon never originated from Runeterra. Some interesting events in more recent history:
- I can't say I know where Piltover was founded, but the "founding" of Zaun can be found in Janna's bio.
- A brief recount of what Noxus has been up to, including the invasion of Ionia, can be found in Swain's bio.
- Sivir's bio is the tail end of Azir's bio and tells us about how he and Shurima have risen once again.
- Bilgewater had some big events, probably the most recent, in Burning Tides and Shadow and Fortune stories.
The rest is really up to you, read what you are interested in. A couple people are a little outdated in terms of lore, generally if they have 1-3 paragraphs in their bio and there is conflicting info, it isn't updated. Yordle update will happen at some point, so Bandle City right now is kind of not fully explained.

- Piltover and Zaun lore.
That's it. Everything else are just fillers.
Read it all in the order it was released, that's the only way to get the true League of Legends experience i.e. enjoying and becoming attached to things just in time for riot to swoop in, delete it, pave over it with something else, and act like what you loved never existed.
