League of Legends Time Lore Idea
The League of Legends itself, with its summoners, takes place in a current time, on the brink of the end of the world. The champions they summon are anywhere from the beginning of time to the current time of Runeterra. Basically the champions are summoned from anywhere, anytime on the time line to the current time to fight on the Fields of Justice, or it could also be renamed to Fields of War. Champions exist not necessarily from the same time spots together but can be spread out, some existing together, some not. When people are summoned they are taken from the a specific spot in their time, and after are immediately returned to that exact spot in time. They don't remember anything that happened when summoned upon being returned to their respective spot in time. Those from from the current times tend to join of free will in hopes of assisting in the finding the means to save Runeterra. This opens many doors fro lore, and new champions, like for example, since it's from any time, champions aren't restricted to death. People like Senna or General Du Couteau could be turned into champions or placed in more lore due to being summoned to current times, from their respective spots within the timeline. The more recent in the time line they are, the more knowledge of events they have. Champions unaffected by time or mortality, may be ones to exist the entire time line, knowing/experiencing all.
The summoners are survivors of the current times, from anywhere as origins are no longer of concern. The summoners are looking for something. perhaps strengths and/or weaknesses in these champions and are searching for perfect warriors, perfect strategies to overcome the bearing threat, or in hopes of undoing the chaos. Either way hoping to restore Runeterra.
What is this threat? It could be the Void finally unleashing fully onto the world, it could be the Shadow Isles and/or the mist, stretching out onto the main land in hopes of plaguing it as well. It could be both or those could have happened already, or a far greater threat has come. Maybe something responsible for creating the Shadow Isles, and unleashing the Void. Within current lores there are mentions of higher beings, places beyond Runeterra, or cultists like the ones that corrupted the Shadow Isles. Could there not be someone, or something whose had their eye on Runeterra, and wishes to destroy it?
It's not all fully thought it, as with way somethings would work it would require some real thinking to patch up plot holes. However the idea if made to work keeps the league, summoners, champions, but creates more open space for expansion and lore. There doesn't have to be joining reasons, and people still get to have that sense of being involved in the World. I highly doubt this would be adopted, however I wanted to share the idea, and have I ever patch up the holes I feel I could make a Fan Book/Story using this idea.
