In truth, I have made some bits of lore in relation to the Runes, but that is something you will witness within the next month if you remain attentive of what will be released in the custom concept section.

I suspected that English is not your best language, and is likely your secondary or tetriary language of speaking/writing. No need to apologies, as I find it unavoidable on a wikia that is visted by people of varying backgrounds. I will try to get around the mistakes, but just take into mind to keep brushing up your English.

No need to apologies for late replies either. The wiki should install alerts for comments too... but they haven't.

I welcome the notion of trying to expand on certain subjects, especially those that are vague. But as someone who has written stories too, for the same reason of passion and lore-depth, I recommend not taking it to the skies and having it be so grand. Unless you have made the resolve to carry on having other concepts follow this shift in lore, big changes can be a detriment. Think of it like changing a major rule in a game. Even if liked by a large number of people, not everyone is going to be appreciative of it. Large scale changes like these tend to sacrifice the backstory of a number of champions in order to upgrade a plot... and that can be riddled with problems, even in professional hands.

Thus, to most content creators, especially for custom champions, I recommend creating lore that doesn't affect existing champions in a very impactful way. You can still create gods, slayers, voodoos and whatever else you want of any scale, but by avoiding the touch upon other champions, you avoid the chances of making a slip. This is especially critical if your changes to the affected champions are not well accepted or well informed, as people will go "huh?" This sadly limits what elbow room custom champions could go for under these guidelines, but it makes for more concentrated and less contradicting concepts.

The delivery of your lore wasn't bad. It was simply the bad template you had gone for that may have been the wrong foot off the bed. But there is also the "connecting with many champions" part. For some content creators, connecting a custom champion to an existing champion seems to be an easy way into introducing the custom content, whether if it be 's new apprentice, or a new Lightshield who gets along with. As you might guess, the act of "connecting champions" is not what makes this successful, but the method in how they are bound. Take for example. He's connected to ... but that is as far as he goes. Nothing further. Nada. It's not bad to do this, but it sadly draws a line to how far the character can likely expand in depth.

These content creators then take it for granted, and bring "connecting champions" to eleven, connecting as many champions in attempt to prove the custom champions "legitimacy"... which is not productive at all. You overstep the bounds and have to tie in too many loose ends that people will criticize... I don't attempt this too because it's a lot to bear in responsibility.

I do not mean to be harsh, but there is more that could likely be done for World Runes than another. You could attempt to go for a priest who worships the stone (and has fled from ), or something that is an apparition tied to a World Rune. You could try to make a new Void champion who is the original "Mother" of World Runes. The ideas are endless. It may be that you limited yourself to the idea that World Runes are stones...

Even if Etherion is a custom champion, I ask for you to think well of him. Some custom champions can become more interesting than live champions, and that's because everyone has a preference. A subjective thought of "what's good" and "what's not." I do not wish for other content creators to pull the noose on themselves by thinking "no one will take this seriously because it's a custom champ," as you shoot yourself in the foot and essentially cripple your progress. March proudly and have the energy as if "RITO may make this official."
