Where is the new lore?
I just want to ask where everyone is finding the information of Riot updating lore and stuff. I can't seem to find it and I thought asking could help me out.

Was gonna post this sooner but the boards broke! Anyway...
Any lore related stuff generally gets shown in the main news feed on the site. Long character lores can be added at any time so they're a bit harder to track sometimes, but generally it's within a few days of a champion being released/updated or something similar. I'll post links to some of the lore content from this year for ya:
Burning Tides: Reckoning and the site for Bilgewater exploration http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/site/bilgewater/#act-1
Shadow and Fortune: A Harrowing Story, which also includes long lores for Mordekaiser, Hecarim, Kalista, Thresh and Karthus http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/site/shadow-and-fortune/chapter-1.html
The long lores that have been released thus far can be found in the lore sections of the following champion pages:
Fiora: http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/fiora/ Gangplank: http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/gangplank/ Graves: http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/graves/ Illaoi: http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/illaoi/ Kindred: http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/kindred/ Miss Fortune: http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/missfortune/ Twisted Fate: http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/twistedfate/
And finally some other lore content released for champions thus year: Bard - http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/champion-preview/wonder-above - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX8iSobsKTY Ekko - http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/site/ekko-comic/ - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtEpp9lkfxA Tahm Kench - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9RM4HwwoKs Kindred - http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/page/good-death Illaoi - http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/featured/champions/trial-of-the-kraken-priestess
Keep an eye on the news feed or news sites like surrender@20 for future updates on any lore shenanigans. We also generally post here to inform each other that something lore related has occured, so a quick peak here every so often will go a long way.
As a note: in a couple of weeks Poppy will be recieving a long lore as seen above, the Shuriman champions will be getting lore lores as part of an update soonish, which probably means early next year, and then we're going to Mount Targon for some lore goodness. After that? We'll have to see.
Hopefully this was helpful in some way!
Thanks so much dude! I've seen your posts on multiple threads and really enjoy your theories and speculations. Stay awesome!!!
Maybe Riot Should Publish A Guide To Retconned Lore!
Overall I think that currently the wiki is actually the best place to look for the lore. Pretty much all the lore is gathered on the wiki(both new and old lore).
Not to shamelessly self-promote or anything, but do you guys think these are lore worthy? It kind of improves upon the Zed/Nocturne theory while respecting Zed's existing lore, and then it throws Ryze into the mix as well. I gave some backstory to his scroll and hint at why Nocturne was capable of cutting through it in that cinematic. Just on the prowl for some feedback and constructive criticism here!

PS. Whatever they have planned for Taric, it's gonna be good!
