Chronology

This article compiles all official timelines and sources published by Riot Games into a single, non-exhaustive timeline of major events documented in the universe of  Runaterra Prima de  League of Legends. This article should not be considered an official timeline, but it should be as accurate and even more complete than any timeline Riot Games has provided.

The numbering of this chronology is based on the foundation of  Noxus, as this is the style used by official sources. All dates should be considered as periods of time, as many events have only received vague ordinations and estimated dates.

For easier navigation, the timeline is also divided into several key eras.

Lore

The empire of  Noxus, with territories spread throughout Runeterra, has united and incorporated countless smaller nations throughout the centuries. In addition to its obvious military strength and stable central government, Noxus prides itself on "bringing the calendar" to every corner of the world.

But to be a Noxian is to agree with his notion of world history, which begins long before the Runic Wars that gave rise to the empire. Since many historical records were lost in those dark times, the precise details of anything that happened before are likely based on popular myth or conjecture.

  • Ornn builds his house and calls it "Main Hall".
  • Anivia, annoyed with Ornn because he had felled the trees where he most enjoyed sitting to build his house, decides to teach him a lesson. By attempting to tickle his nose with one of his feathers, he caused Ornn to sneeze a drop of fire that set the sheets on fire, and subsequently the floor. Anivia panicked and flapped her wings to flee, but this only fueled the fire further with the dry Freljord air. Soon, the entire Main Hall was on fire. The fire roared for days, darkening the skies with ash in the meantime Ornn slept while all this was going on. He woke up on top of an ash pile in a very bad mood. I didn't know what Anivia had done. And, to this day, she has not told him the truth.
  • Ornn seeks to build his second home with non-flammable materials. He made himself a shovel, a crowbar and a fork. With these tools, he could dig for minerals, move powerful pillars, and eat the delicious spicy cherries he loved so much.
  • Ornn hammered and molded chunks of minerals until a black mountain emerged. Inside, there was a large forge that contained the incandescent primordial flame, from the depths of the earth. He was satisfied with his new home, which he called "Home."
  • As the house was too hot even for that Ornn supported her, dug a ditch from the sea, straight up the mountain. Sister Seal allowed the cold waters to flow through the ditch and cool the Home. Large clouds of steam emerged. It took three days for the mountain to cool down enough to Ornn. In that time, the ocean that fed the river sank several inches.
  • So much steam had risen from the waters that the perpetual blue sky was speckled with gray clouds that overshadowed it. As these new inflated shapes coalesced and cooled, they grew heavier and heavier until they burst with snow.
  • It snowed for a hundred years, this being the main reason why the land that was later called the Freljord is covered in snow to this day.
• Ornn gives fire to humans.
