To narrative and the community. Thank you.

Azir's full lore is finally in the website, and I must say its amazing. This is only the beginning though. It looks like the full stories narrative had in store for us can finally be published in the Lol website now that the test seems to have been a success. I, for once, cannot wait to see what narrative has in store for us.

Anyway, I want to take this time to thank Jaredan and the narrative team for not giving up on us. We criticized you on every twist and turn. We dismissed the technical and infrastructural problems you had to face. Many of us even assumed you weren't working at all and constantly accused you of it.

All of this created a hate that made many of us instantly jump on you the moment you commented on a story and art post. We threatened you, made you never want to interact with us again, then we wrote about how much we despised you for not talking to us when we were the ones who drove you away.

But most of all I want to thank all of you old school die-hard lore fans who kept me hopeful during these long months. It was hard, but things are starting to look up for once. I even want to thank Riot Bioluminescence for sticking with us here in the narrative boards even though he/she isn't a part of narrative. I knew all our hoping would pay off soon enough. We believe in you narrative, I hope you know that. So keep on giving it your all. Well be here waiting excitedly, we always will. Thanks.

Thanks for your thanks, Kadavik, though I want to point out that the Azir story was released in the past - but only on the forums where it was almost immediately forgotten about or missed. I.e. it's not new content for some, but it is in a better location now!

Hopefully we'll get new content in the better location, and we'll be making some forward progress again :D

(I also agree with Tesla Effect in the other thread that the formatting leaves a bit to be desired, but content first, right?)

I feel like the whole lore section of champion pages needs some work, as it was built with the old style of bios in mind, and it doesn't really fit with the new style of character pieces, unless they implement tabs in there and stuff. I'm very happy that the lore is finally there of course, don't get me wrong, but I feel like that section of the pages does need some love aside from just getting that proper lore up in there.

Speaking of new content, lets say following Azir, all the other champions related to Shurima have their extended lore's posted.

Amumu Cassiopeia Ezreal Nasus Rammus RekSai Renekton Sivir Skarner Xerath

Would it be alright to assume that their stories would finally be able to move forward? Time of arrival aside, it would be nice to know that we can look forward to more than just the stuff that is seen on a champions release.

I feel like there's more things that need fixed before we end up moving forward.

There's Fiddlesticks still Malphite some Taric champions Orianna who Nautilus need Jax updating Morgana some Kayle regions PantheonLeonaDiana that Chogath need Nocturne visiting.

We're not even done with the introduction to this new canon yet! We're getting there, slowly but surely, and with this (maybe) looking to be the fix for the tech issues (maybe) there's more to look forward to I'd say, but chapter twos? Some champs still need chapter ones yet.

Why is Nautilus in there? His lore still works fine how it is now.

Im afraid that Skarner Rammus and Amumu were just crammed into the event with no intention of updating their lores.

Because she is not a part of narrative? That being said, whats keeping her from making her own stories? Such as the Bard story she wrote a few days ago.

I don't think Bio would have an answer to that, not being on the narrative team and everything. Why not make a post about it? Maybe you'll even get an answer from Jaredan.

Hahah absolutely, hell if the rest of the stories are gonna be like this one I could manage getting them via messenger pigeon. Thanks Bio, I never thought I would get a Red in one of my posts. Stay awesome and rock on! :)

Even though the official lore is now finally coming out, your Bard story was quite impressive. Can expect to see anymore stories from you?

LoL. Leave it to Riot to do what is expected of them many months overdue, and receive congratulations for doing what they should have done several months late.

No offense, but riot doing what any 1st grader with IT in a high school would do. That is writing words into a website in one year shouldnt be as glorified as you do.

Because what i read in your thread just made me laugh.

You are saying that its the communitys fault that Narrative refuses to communicate, when it isnt. They always refused to communicate. How do you think the retcon happened? It wasnt us who pushed them away for no reason. It was them.

Also, you are so happy, but as far as i can see there is no reason. Why? Because the only thing Narrative managed to do in 1 year, was writing words in a webste. Which is IT 101.

No offense, but for me it looks like you are just another Narrative apologetic which has pink glasses on. How can anyone believe in the narrative after all the retcons they made? Who in the right mind can trust these guys?

I know i will be downvoted because i am such a mood killer and because i am so salty at the narrative. But you guys shouldnt forget,forgive and especially shouldnt encourage narrative team to continue with what they were doing this past year. Which was nothing. Blind optimism doesnt help, it only makes you have mind with 0 critical thinking.

@Riot, Don't let this comment blind you to the fact that you've neglected provided quality lore for Runeterra since you decided to retcon it.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

They took content they had months ago and moved it somewhere better. While a step in the right direction, highly praising them for doing something anyone with a copy and paste command can do is really overkill.

Yay for it being there...but...what was the delay from? I'd be interested to know the details of the tech and localization issues and what had to be done to fix them.
