Realms of Runeterra | Demacia and Zaun Stories 55:04

1d ago55:04

55:04

As we slowly sift our way through the stories in this novel, it's making me miss our regularly scheduled lore drops. Except these are all actually really good? Or maybe we're just suckers for scrappy Zaun folks. --- WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1 Twitch! twitch.tv/loreheads …

Yunara 57:07

8d ago57:07

57:07

We've gotten a lot of lore leading up to Yunara's official release, and now we're ready to talk about it in full. Although we're really enjoying the new lore delivery, for Yunara, we're a little confused on what's real and what's not. Do we know this mysterious person? Or this one? OR THIS ONE?! Everything is perhaps a little too mysterious. ----- …

We Made Our Own Regions 56:37

22d ago56:37

56:37

We thought it might be easy to make our own regions, and then we tried to do it. It turns out Riot actually hit all the standard stuff. Hot place, cold place, pirate place, bit mountain, etc. But here we are! And I'm very proud of us. ------- WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1 T…

Yunara Comic and ARAM 52:04

30d ago52:04

52:04

Still missing short stories, but also still loving these visual comics. Well none of us could have predicted this turn for the Darkin! We're pumped to see it all coming together. And also ARAM changes?! As ARAM Mains, this had been a good week. ----- WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z…

Anima Squad AU 55:18

1M ago55:18

55:18

So there are a few similarities between Anima Squad and Star Guardians, but you know what? We don't mind all that much. A little serious, a little funny, sometimes maybe a little too serious and then it gets weird. You know how it is. ------- WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1 T…

Pilgrimage Comic and Brawl 54:16

2M ago54:16

54:16

Riot is definitely serving with these in-client motion comics. Maybe it's because we got some more Kennen lore, which we truly weren't expecting, but we're getting pretty hyped for what's going on in Ionia and the rest of Runeterra. Give us those Spirit blossom trees! They're great. ---------- WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch Twitter! twitter.co…

Explaining League to Mark's Dad 1:00:42

2M ago1:00:42

1:00:42

Since Mark's dad is in town, we decided to corner him and talk his ear off about how great The Journal of Justice was. We think he's starting to understand it, but can anyone truly understand the magic of such a time? ----------- WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1 Twitch! twitch…

Quiz Time! Void Edition 1:15:37

2M ago1:15:37

1:15:37

Okay so SOMEONE might have forgotten to tell their wife we were going to do an Ionian quiz. It doesn't matter who. Just someone. SO we got to do a quiz about The Void instead, which was honestly way more fun anyway. Please play along! You'll probably do much better than we did. ------ WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch Twitter! twitter.com/lorehea…

Targon 1:18:56

3M ago1:18:56

1:18:56

Mount Targon is an area with big ideas, few champions, and even fewer ideas on what to do with this place. While we love the vibes and world-building, nothing is bringing out any emotions in us. We want emotions ya know? ---------- WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads Discord! https://t.co/o21E0W4C8z?amp=1 Twitch! twit…

Spirit Blossom AU 1:20:19

3M ago1:20:19

1:20:19

The Spirit Blossom AU is unique in that it's actually a part of canon lore! Not totally, of course. Ashe isn't actually in Ionia or anything. Just in spirit! I mean, not really, but imagine her vibe? That's there? And it looks like her? I think I've got that right. --- WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch Twitter! twitter.com/loreheads Discord! http…

LeBlanc Rework 47:29

3M ago47:29

47:29

Who would have thought our jokes about everyone being LeBlanc would end up being so...accurate? At this point, we all just need to admit The Loreheads are amazing at predicting the future. We're loving LeBlanc as a villain here and can't wait to see how much she's gonna mess up Runeterra. At least some of her plans aren't failing! -------- WE HAVE …

2025 Lore Predictions 51:11

3M ago51:11

51:11

So we're a bit behind on coming up with predictions, but at least this way we have a jumping off point. Do we think most of these are going to happen? No, but I'm confident that at least one will.

Star Guardians Season 3 1:08:57

4M ago1:08:57

1:08:57

We only have one story to discuss here, but they managed to fit quite a lot in there. With a ton of new Star Guardians, old, new, and back from the dead, it's a little hard to focus on anyone for too long. But we do know that super powered big bad attacks are very cool, and sometimes all you need is a good old fashioned sacrifice. ------------- WE …

Realms of Runeterra | Ionia and Noxus 51:06

4M ago51:06

51:06

We're slowly but surely getting through the Realms of Runeterra book! All of the short stories have been incredible so far, especially the two we read for this weeks episode. Between a dope old lady we're desperate to see as a champion, and a deep look into how Noxus rules once they've won the battle, we got a lot to rave about here. -------- WE HA…

Bilgewater 1:01:17

4M ago1:01:17

1:01:17

Sometimes it's nice to take a break from the Noxus event to discuss some dirt and grime. Uhh, but a different dirt and grime. The piratey kind! A lot of our favorite stories are from Bilgewater, and because there aren't many champions here, it's all put together coherently. And....a live action show??? ARE WE SURE?! ---- WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreh…

Ambessa: Chosen of the Wolf 1:27:49

4M ago1:27:49

1:27:49

It's nice to get another full length novel of League lore! Ambessa: Chosen of the Wolf: A League of Legends Novel: Arcane was a great look into parts of Ambessa's character that Arcane greatly struggled with. Although there aren't a ton of champions in the book, the novel does a great job expanding the few League champions it does include. Mostly R…

Mel & Noxus Check-In 1:07:44

4M ago1:07:44

1:07:44

Most of Mel's lore is in Arcane, which we've already talked about, just, so so much. But Riot also released more and more Noxus lore, so here we are again to dive in! Of course Noxus means Leblanc, and Leblanc means we get weird and gross for some reason. Maybe that's just us? Who knows! That's clearly what y'all are here for. ------ WE HAVE MERCH!…

Akali Revisit 1:08:45

5M ago1:08:45

1:08:45

We might talk about people other than Akali way more than we talk about Akali here. But hey, that's exactly what all her lore does too! So we're just following the pattern here. There's no way for us to predict where future TV shows will focus in when they do an Ionian season, but since that's where most of the lore seems to be coming from these da…

Ionia 1:17:17

5M ago1:17:17

1:17:17

We've been in and out of Ionia for quite a while now, but we wanted to take a look at the region as a whole. There are so many important characters here, and we have no idea how they'll decide who shows up in the new Arcane show. We're hoping for Irelia! And, like, a hundred other people. ------ WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch Twitter! twitter.…

Star Guardians Season 1&2 1:14:53

5M ago1:14:53

1:14:53

We have to break this AU up into a few different parts. As League's most dense Alternate Universe, there are so many characters and stories to explore here. We enjoyed season 1 and 2 and are looking forward to seeing where these characters end up! Oh wait, the other seasons are about other people? Okay well surely they won't forget about Lux and Ji…

Our Original AU's 52:41

5M ago52:41

52:41

There are a lot of skin lines in League of Legends, but we wanted to try our hand at dressing these silly little guys up. It's uhhh harder than we thought it would be. We might be a little predictable here, but hey, it's fun to imagine League camps running around killing their friends and/or trying to date each other. Wait, is that an AU or just Ar…

Happy Valentine's Day! There isn't much to talk about when it comes to the Valentine skin AU's, but there are plenty of couples in Runeterra floating around. Some are old, some are new, and some have not yet come to pass. But we talk about it all in a totally normal, not gross way. --------- WE HAVE MERCH! bit.ly/loreheadmerch Twitter! twitter.com/…

Riot Games made a promise to start feeding us lore in different ways, and it looks like they've been following through with that.

As the first original Arcane champion to be released into League of Legends, Ambessa has quite a bit of story. Unfortunately, a lot of it is hidden from us. We're hoping with the release of her novel, along with an upcoming Arcane-like show featured around Noxus, we'll get a bit more about who Ambessa is behind that very hard, sexy shell she wears.…
