Previous Update: Lore Event II The Harrowing Approaches by CupcakeTrap The Harrowing approaches. Across Valoran, family and friends gather for feasts, riotous parties, games, and late night chats that go on until daybreak. But you, learned Summoners, you know why…

EUW’s Glorious Return We had EUW featured matches running for a while, but eventually we were forced to shut them down due to a lack of player sign ups. Now that worlds are over, we are hoping more people will…

I usually try not to screw up in the first place. Sometimes when you screw up, you just need to suck it up and move forward. However, there are also times when it’s appropriate to go back and take another…

I thought I’d post this up just to solicit some random ideas for what the factions might find on Nyroth. Have fun with it; we might use your idea. It could be a ruined building, or a magical artifact, or…

Naggarok here, and I am please to announce that World Systems is now in a usable state. Some things are still in a work in progress and may be changed, but the all the systems are now in place. In…

Hi all! I realized it’s been a while since we did any kind of outreach or recruitment, so I tossed together a very simple Reddit thread and posted it up. I’d encourage all of you to come by and share…

I’ve just posted the second interactive lore event of the Nyroth arc. Link: Lore Event II Now that they’ve landed on Nyroth at last, each faction has decisions to make. The primary purpose of this event is to get initial…

We’ve now set up forums for each faction. The primary purpose of these forums is to facilitate the discussion of strategies and arc objectives, as well as to build community. Bilgewater Ionia the Shadow Isles the Freljord I’m also gathering…

I’m now nearing completion on the third step of my three-step agenda for the start of this arc: I. Match Systems (Complete) I did a ton of statistical analysis on winrates by tier gap, and completely overhauled the match scoring…

First Nyroth Interactive Lore Event The first interactive lore event for the Nyroth arc closes today, be sure to vote on it before time is out. Now, I have been told the lore event should be closed in time for…

This poll will be closing soon. How soon? Probably by 5 p.m. Pacific today, if not earlier. So vote if you haven’t, and share the link with others. Link: Interactive Lore Event I I want to make sure everyone gets…

There’s been a lot of request for a non-Reddit place to discuss Factions. I’ve created a new GD thread on the League forums for that purpose. (This is a different thread from the verification thread.) Any and all Factions discussion…

Community involvement and feedback is a huge part of Factions. Some of our best ideas have come from the community — and some of our worst ideas have been nixed just in the nick of time thanks to community members pointing…

Since GD has been re-created on the Boards, I’ve set up a new sign-up thread there. You don’t need to post there if you already posted on the original GD thread, but I thought this warranted a news post just…

Alright! The prologue to Nyroth is published at last. My apologies for the delay, not only in getting this lore update out but in getting this arc going generally. The publication of the prologue, together with the first interactive lore…

At long last, Nyroth is about to really get going. This is, I think, a good time to poll the community concerning Champion lists. Link: Roster Discussion Please contribute suggestions and comments there. —CupcakeTrap

Please contribute your thoughts! Link: Sub-30 Summoners and Featured Matches Thanks! —CupcakeTrap

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…

I recently created a Boards topic concerning lore and community engagement. I feel that the Summoners involved in Factions likely have important things to say on this issue, so I thought I’d link it. Please consider sharing your 2g. Link:…

This has taken way too long, but here you go! The epilogue to Hextech Revolution. It is, of course, very rough: I literally just finished typing it out. Because time is of the essence, I’m going to save the revision process…

More to come Soon™. To start with, here’s Demacia’s section of the epilogue, in current draft form. It follows after Secrets of Shurima. I hope it tides you over for another day, and keeps Sion from turning me into boot-liner.…

Greetings, Summoners! The epilogue to the previous arc, Hextech Revolution, is being posted tonight. Obviously, this is way, way later than is normal or desired. I do think it’s appropriate, though, to provide a space to talk about what happened…

Sometimes, spam-bots prey upon the Factions chat. This is very sad. It’s even more sad for them when we have to cast them into the Void. To do so, please configure your thaumex scanner to confirm that no dimensional rifts…

I’ve posted up the final lore update of the previous storyline, Hextech Revolution. It’s rough, but my goal right now is just to get ‘er done so we can move on. Revision will come later. Link: Secrets of Shurima Is…

Sgt Porkchop here. Been working on stuff for the October issue of The Summoner’s Herald. So far I have a good idea of what I want and should be included in TSH. Right now I’m going to include an Education…

We’ve always had a sign-up thread on GD, but it’s (obviously) pretty noisy with sign-up posts, and it’s a bit lengthy. I’ve created a fresh thread with a much simpler presentation for Factions discussion on GD. Link: FACTIONS — Lore-focused…

I’ve posted up a complete copy of Hextech Revolution Update 11: Against Apocalypse. The conclusion will come shortly: I’m committed to posting at least one lore update per day until we are caught up. Excuse any resultant roughness! Thanks to…

The lore that formally concludes the previous arc, Hextech Revolution, is nearly complete. I once again do apologize for the delay: this is the most that Factions lore has ever lagged, and I have no intention of letting it lag…

Featured Matches Time for the next set of featured matches’ sign ups. We know that there have been a large number of forced forfeits in the featured matches recently, and that the current rules don’t allow a whole lot a…

I’ve started using Twitter. I’m still using my personal account; at some point we should probably set up a proper League Factions Twitter. In the meantime, I’m using this primarily just to share little tidbits of what I’m working on,…
