FAQ About Runeterra Universe

The champions in the Runeterra Universe are connected to each other through various relationships, alliances, rivalries, and shared histories. While not every champion has a direct connection to every other champion, there are several ways in which they are linked:

• Faction Affiliations: Many champions hail from specific regions or factions within the Runeterra Universe. For example, champions like Garen, Lux, and Jarvan IV are affiliated with Demacia, while champions like Darius, Swain, and Katarina belong to Noxus. These faction affiliations often define their loyalties, values, and goals, creating connections and conflicts with champions from other factions.
• Lore-based Relationships: The lore of the Runeterra Universe often establishes relationships between champions. They can be allies, enemies, or have complex histories with each other. For instance, Garen and Katarina have a longstanding rivalry due to the tensions between Demacia and Noxus. Yasuo and Riven share a deep connection through their involvement in a tragic event known as the "Noxian-Ionian Conflict." These connections add depth and context to the interactions between champions.
• Events and Storylines: Many champions are involved in significant events and storylines within the Runeterra Universe. These events, such as the Rune Wars, the invasion of the Void, or the rise of the Black Mist, often bring champions together to face a common threat or engage in conflicts. Through these shared experiences, champions become intertwined in the larger narrative of the world.
• Mentor-Student Relationships: Some champions have mentor-student relationships, where a seasoned champion guides and trains a younger or less experienced champion. For instance, Lee Sin acts as a mentor to Yasuo, teaching him the ways of balance and discipline. These relationships showcase the passing of knowledge and traditions between champions.
• Team Dynamics: In the context of gameplay, champions are often organized into teams of five to compete against each other. These team dynamics create synergies and interactions between champions within the game, highlighting their ability to work together or against each other in battles.
