Is there an Alpha Storyline or just bits and parts?

So I'm semi-new to League and was wondering if there was an actual story behind this. I've read over most of the Champions Lore and I have a few questions I can't seem to find. -What is the League? Why did it start and Who runs it? Does the league have any rival guilds? Will all the champions have to fight together in some ultra battle later on? -Are there different worlds, or just one world and different lands within it?

WHO IS CAITLYN'S C CARD GUY??? Because some people say they know and its one of the champs but I have no idea

----------> Okay so I reallly realllllllllly like lore and stories so if there IS an actual thing that says all of it, can someone send it to me ^^

OH and I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to talk with some of you about it!!

Riot completely messed up the lore.

In the old lore, the league of legends was founded after the rune wars, which devestated runeterra. The league of legends was to prevent wars by putting various champions who represented each faction (Demacia, Zaun, Noxus, ETC) to fight for things like land. The league of legends happened at the institute of war. It was run by summoners, powerful mages who had the ability to summon the champions. Each summoner was paired with a champion, and the two would communicate with each other. Valoran and its surrounding islands is the only known place in Runeterra (pretty much the whole planet) but there is probobly more. The void is something between worlds, of which only two mortals have ever seen, kassadin and malzahar. Apparently there is also a spirit world, which is were Bard hails from. Caitlyn's C guy is unkown. Dont know if there will ever be anything on the subject, but we'll see. Recently riot retconned everything, so that the league of legends no longer exists but all the champions and their stories remain the same. you can check out the journal of justice (a lore thing riot did awhile back) for some small little tidbits of lore, or go browse here for pretty much everything.

Yeah, they had this great, really accomplished and extremely thorough gameplay/story integration setup for the setting, so that basically everything in the game had an existance in-setting.

Along with a decent plot with a bunch of nice flavor, sampling goofy comic book fantasy, traditional high-fantasy, political intrigue and more.

They decided they'd rather make a bunch of unconnected short stories set in a generic fantasy something.

And then they did nothing for ~7 months. (well, they released a couple of champion teasers, and a couple of short stories relating to Azir, Xerath, Kalista and Rek'Sai. They also relased a web-something for Sion. But nothing which actually went contrary to the old Lore, and nothing which adressed any of the completely broken parts of the setting)

Sorry to tell you friend, but the lore's been retconned.

as of right now, nobody really knows where things are, what exists, etc.

We're waiting on new lore, but things are still kind of shakey.

You may want to go somewhere else for some lore.The lore is too much of a mess,I don't think people should get into it until Riot get their lore cleaned up.If you get into this now,you'll just be getting a whole lot of questions with little to no satisfactory answers & no major completed content (by that I mean a story with a beginning,middle & end).And we don't know when this limbo will end.For many,the lore has been in limbo for years with the retcon last October only creating more questions & making fans frustrated,angry,confused,disappointed & dissatisfied.

You can if you want to,but it's not doing so well.If you're planning to take what you can get,that's probably the best route.If you want more,then prepare for a wait.

Just follow up whats posted on the wiki. Old & New lore, doesnt matter, all of it is canon (dont care who says what, its canon until its updated with new lore properly). The only thing you need to mentally remove is the existence of the League, anything else is okay.
