When did the "War of the Three Sisters" take place?

Solideus·Dec 24, 2014·1 votes·1,460 views

Was it before the Watchers created the Iceborn?
Was it the name for the Iceborn's uprising, led by Avarosa, that culminated in the Watchers' defeat?
Was it a struggle for power after the Watchers were gone?
Was it after Avarosa's assassination?
Or is it referring to the war between Ashe, Sejuani and Lissandra going on right now?

It is quite vague. My guess: it was a conflict that took place after the Watcher's defeat, then leading up to Avarosa's death. Is there any clear information to when the War of the Three Sisters actually took place, though?

The War of the Three Sisters was after the Iceborn overthrew the Frozen Watchers, and included Avarosa's assassination. The war ended with all of Freljord being divided and fighting over every little scrap they needed to survive. It was the war between Avarosa, Serylda and Lissandra, who all had their own thoughts on how the Iceborn should live. As to how long ago though, thousands of years ago is probably the safest bet.

It was the war between Avarosa, Sejuani and Lissandra,

Yeah, there is clear info. It's really nicely laid out here: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Freljord

Yes, but that is a secondary source. I contributed to the page a fair bit myself.

It's a secondary source, but it's pulled from all the primary material:

The JoJ Posts from Rioters on the forums/boards In-game dialogue from Champions and NPC's Story bits on promotional websites And more

I can't confirm 100% where any specific detail came from, but after reading through it, I remember the overwhelming majority as being true. The stuff I don't remember as true is me forgetting details.

As I said, some of it is written by me a while ago from what I could piece together. War of the Three Sisters is barely touched upon, though, since it's not clearly defined. Some of it is JoJ which is only semi-reliable since much of it is no longer canon or in the process of being reincorporated into the new lore. Anything on the wiki that isn't properly referenced should be considered potentially unreliable information, too. To confirm legitimacy, an original source should be linked to.

From what we know,the freljord was united under the regin of the watchers(at least lissandra and avarosa were working for them,until avarosa started to rebel against them),so the war of the 3 sisters had to take place afterwards. The 3 sisters are Avarosa,Serylda and Lissandra and since the war was among them,it couldn't take place after avarosas assassination,so the assassination happened after or during the war.

I think that it's referring to the war between Avarosa, Serylda and Lissandra and one of its main causes, if I remember correctly, were the Watchers (and Lisssandra). Not sure though.

I didn't remember Avarosa getting assassinated- I thought it was only Mauvle/Lissandra who were assassinated. I might wanna go and read some lore again. :P

It's all hard to piece together. I'ts not certain that she actually was assassinated, but quotes from Lissandra and HA shopkeepers suggests Avarosa's death was arranged by Lissandra. I noticed that part of the wiki is unsourced... It's conjecture as of now.

Mauvle?????

Wait, what. o.o I remember a girl named Mauvle that Lissandra (the Ice Witch) assassinated before the other Lissandra, but now that I searched for it on Google and the wiki, I can't seem to find it ANYWHERE. I swear, I remember reading something about a Mauvle girl in the wiki in the Freljord lore. o.o
