In the aftermath of the events of Arcane, the balance of power across the continent has been shattered. Piltover struggles to rebuild after devastating attacks, Zaun descends further into instability, and the death of key leaders has created uncertainty throughout the known world. Amid this chaos, the expansionist empire of Noxus sees an opportunity. Under the leadership of Grand General Swain, Noxus has begun extending its influence across Valoran, bringing it into direct conflict with the proud kingdom of Demacia.

Long simmering tensions have erupted following reports of Noxian spies operating within Demacian borders and allegations that foreign agents are secretly supporting the growing mage unrest inside the kingdom. As armies mobilize and diplomacy breaks down, both nations prepare for what may become the largest war in modern Runeterran history.


Delegates will assume the roles of champions, nobles, generals, spies, and political leaders from across Runeterra. They must navigate military conflict, political intrigue, espionage, rebellion, and shifting alliances while determining the future of their nations. With dark forces such as the Black Rose operating from the shadows and ancient powers awakening across the continent, one question remains:

Will Runeterra emerge united, or will it be consumed by war?
