Its not clear when the Rune Wars happened when it started. As I was looking around posts about the lore timeline everyone has put them in a different spot in the timeline. Some say it was after the founding of Noxus some say around the doom of Icathia.. What are you opinions on this ¿

After Mordekaiser's downfall.

"Yet, even as the barbarians built an empire of their own in the bastion’s shadow, they failed to realize that the arcane secrets it held had not completely been locked away. The pale sorceress had always been gifted at illusion, and her greatest trick was to make Noxus forget the dark power roiling in its own heart, before she was burned from the pages of history around the time of the Rune Wars."

Handy mini timeline

Shurima Fall of Shurima Darkin War Mordekaiser Empire Mordekaiser Falls Noxus becomes a thing as a result Rune War begins Demacia becomes a thing as a result

Everything else is pretty much modern day or happens in ancient ancient times

If you're looking for numbers, likely anytime from 500 to 1000 years ago.

We don't have a rough numerical timeline for ANYTHING though, so this mostly depends on when Shurima and Mordekaiser happened. My guess hinges on Shurima falling 2000+ years ago.

After Mordekaisers reign, just around when Noxus was formed, but before Demacia was formed.
