User blog comment:GreenMoriyama/Nine, the Magus of Elemancy (collab w-Lesdin)/@comment-4091261-20170913151704/@comment-4091261-20170913160416

I highly disagree. That's just devaluing storytelling for the sake of current conditions. Rito is already creating the Universe to expand lore, which is going on a trend of lengthening it. Nine already has her own condensed background, anyone disinterested in such an investment will certainly get context from the introduction, except for Ifrit who really needs to be mentioned in the introduction if he's going to be a prominent character for quotes.

This introduced a completely new domain and revaluated the current perspective on interactions with world runes grounding itself in the very fundamental thought of magic in Runeterra. It raises the notion of multiple mythical institutes in order to solve problems that remain hidden from the world.
