I keep feeling like we missed something, but here you go: Lore Event III is posted for voting. —CupcakeTrap

I’m going to need to delay the voting on Lore Event III until tomorrow (Tuesday). I’d encourage anyone not yet registered for the forums to register, so that you can vote when it goes up. (We post the polls on…

Prepare Yourselves The second and final tournament of the Nyroth dispute has arrived. It will take place on December 13-14, starting at 11:30 am Pacific both days. It will be streamed live on Twitch at twitch.tv/LeagueFactions. The first day of the tournament,…

Hello all! I’ve posted a quick version of the third interactive lore event for the Nyroth arc. Interactive lore events give you a chance to guide your faction’s decisions and shape the story, as well as to select the next…

  Did you know that, since their removal from the Fields of Justice, most Purple Minions are now employed in the Factions Lore department? It’s true!* We’ve been working them very hard lately. Still, with the frenetic activity of the…

See that scary dude and his two scary friends? They just arrived on Krocylea by airship with an emergency force of Demacian and Noxian soldiers marching under a League banner. They told every other Valoranian on that island to get out.…

Naggarok and I have just finished rolling out all of the Krocylea dice. A more flavorful description of the outcome will be added eventually, but I wanted to at least briefly summarize what happened. So Many Dice This section doubles…

Matches begin at 12:30 Pacific today, 6 December, 24 CLE. They will be streamed at twitch.tv/LeagueFactions. The full schedule is posted here. Come watch! We may also have need for last-minute fill-ins in case someone drops their Summoner sphere. I’ve…

Krocylea will be resolved tonight even I have to die trying, revive and then die trying again to do it. Problem is a variety of ties for everyone(besides SI) In order to get votes, I am just going to link…

Hi all! We have quite a few new signups today, and as usual, the most common question is “so how do I get into a match?” I’d like to encourage everyone to take some time to help them out and…

Repeat after me: this is not Shurima Part II. This is just a Void rift. So, it seems Krocylea got a little spicy. The island is now being consumed by the Void. This is not a Shurima-type rift; it will…

I may have spoken too soon: the Freljord and the Shadow Isles may be fighting one another after all. Summoners: click here to cast your votes if you haven’t already. It is VERY CLOSE. You do not want to have…

Something has just come up, which will occupy my evening beginning at 7 Pacific. I actually have to run in about 10 minutes, so here’s a quick post. The quick version of Krocylea: there are two mirror kingdoms that hate…

As promised, the support oppose votes are now available and are available below. These will last until Friday night. There is a petition that might dramatically alter the featured matches this weekend. Results are as follows: Bilgewater Research Assistance (DC:…

Here goes! Bilgewater (Kibu, the pixie island) Ionia (Scheria) the Shadow Isles and the Freljord (Krocylea, the mirror-island) If you have questions, you can ask them here. And don’t forget: try to be here on Thursday night, in case things get ugly. Balance…

This is a quickie update to summarize the outcome of the recent Featured Matches between Noxus and Demacia. Link: Lack of Jurisdiction It was written quickly, and comments are welcome. However, it was sufficiently significant to the Nyroth storyline overall…

You may be needed for crucial matches on Thursday evening, beginning at 6 Pacific. It would be a set of three matches, spaced an hour apart. (We’ll be flexible on timing due to the short notice.) Can the Freljord and…

I’m posting to bid a fond farewell to CrazedPorcupine, a hardworking and talented Factions staff member who has been handling the review of your Beyond the Battlefield submissions. He will be signing off within the hour, and expects that he…

About Porkchop Porktalk Porkchop Porktalk is a new monthly newspaper talking about out-of-universe League news and some Factions related current events. Originally intended to be a different version of The Summoner’s Herald, sources suggested creating something separate. The point of…

It has come to my attention that Factions does not have very many active streamers. Sometimes when one of the main streamers are playing in a game, the matchstaff spends a lot of time looking for a replacement, and often…

How say you, Summoner? Part of Factions is giving each faction’s Summoners a chance to guide the course their faction takes. This began in Mirrorwater and has continued since. We recently held a “megapoll” to decide several important questions. It…

Hi all. Just saw this. Link: I’m a little confused about the rebooted lore I encourage you to go make your voices heard. You’re a significant part of the lore community, and I think it will be beneficial for Narrative…

Since these went up very late, the polling will last as long as possible before the island exploration. IE late Friday night. Bilgewater, Freljord and Ionia all need to vote for a new research project. Ionia also needs to vote…

Well, that’s an odd bit of timing: just as we announce a brief revisiting of Hextech Revolution and the Battle of Shurima in next weekend’s special tournament, we get something about a Void monster being discovered in Shurima. Link: The…

Each faction has a locked, private subforum on the new Factions forum. This provides a confidential space where you can discuss strategic matters with other members of your faction. They are locked and hidden until your registration is confirmed: CrazyMLC, the…

These are rather draftish. I’m going to be passing them around among staff and revising them so that their finalized forms will be posted tomorrow (Monday). Apologies for errors; I wouldn’t normally want to post something that was partially complete,…

A general community discussion is underway. You’re all encouraged to continue participating in that on either or both of the threads: /r/LeagueFactions thread (Reddit) Factions forum thread We will continue to visit those threads and discuss. We also had a…

That was an exciting first day of the tournament! Thanks to all who participated. As discussed in the Twitch chat, I think we should have a public Q&A session. This is a time to: Share things you like about Factions…

Hear ye and be warned! On the twenty-second and twenty-third days of November, 24 CLE, a tournament shall be held upon that Field of Justice known as Summoner’s Rift, whereby Valoran’s emissary pro tempore to the people of Nyroth shall…

Naggarok and I did the rolls for the four latest exploration adventures. It was actually pretty epic, including a heroic duel. Ionia — Sannig Kloster (Bookbook Monastery) the Freljord — Return to Argyre the Shadow Isles — Neritum Bilgewater — Mag…

Discussion thread here: What would Kalista’s Judgment be like? I’m thinking about putting together a Judgment for Kalista. I wanted to keep this more hush-hush, for two reasons. I can’t really promise anything. There’s still a ton of lore that needs…

Hi all! First off, remember to mark your calendars for this weekend. The first major tournament of the Nyroth arc will be held this Saturday and Sunday. More details will be forthcoming, but it should be pretty epic. The victorious…

This is a bit of a placeholder. I aim to have all four events posted tonight. Update: Unfortunately, I’ve run out of time, and I really need to have been asleep a couple hours ago, so I’m going to simply…

The votes are in for the petitions: Bilgewater  Will be building the Zaunite Warpgate Petition number 1: Request for Research Assistance(DC: 100) Petition number 2: Petition for Diana(DC: 180). Freljord Petition number 1: Request for Research Assistance(DC: 100) Petition number…

There’s a lot of talk about alliances and rivalries lately. I created some polls to gather data on how each faction feels toward the others. None of this is binding. Previous results are available here. Bilgewater Bilgewater Summoners, vote here…

In the most recent set of island selection polls, we asked Summoners from each faction to give their initial thoughts on the other factions. (We’re at about the midway point in the arc, and we’re encouraging factions to start thinking…
