Multiverse

A Pulsefire Ezreal traversing different universes.

“	"Time is an adventure, if you know when to look."
	— Pulsefire Ezreal

In the beginning, there was nothingness, and then, The Multiverse came to be. Multiverse contains both the main universe timeline as well as its connected alternate timelines, such as those created by Ekko and Zilean. There are also multiverses for each of the different universes commonly referred to as "skin universes" or just "alternate universes".

In alternate universes characters, especially champions, are depicted with different appearances and various degrees of backstories changes from the ones in the main universe. Some champions may exist in an alternate universe without being a part of any skin line from that universe, such as Karthus in High Noon Gothic. Some skin lines or part of their elements may also exist in multiple alternate universes, like the Culinary Masters skin line which exists in at least   File:50 different universes OriginalCircle.png, including  Star Guardian.

Trivia

• Runeterra Legacy use to be the primary universe and canon lore of the League of Legends intellectual property. The lore itself had direct connections to what players did within the game of League of Legends, such as the Ionia vs Noxus event and the Journal of Justice. Since 2014 ( Shurima lore update event) it has been mostly abandoned and replaced with the Runeterra Prime universe and the Marauders Versus Wardens skin universe (an alternate Runeterra Legacy timeline). Most character story biographies and Judgments of the "old" lore are archived in the character history pages.
• Several universes have connections to other universes or characters from those universes due to skin biographies, short stories, splash art, and/or quotes.
• The League of Legends intellectual property has both multiverse and omniverse concepts.
• Currently the only universe stated to not be part of the larger League of Legends omniverse is the Valorant universe, despite obvious symbolism and references to the League of Legends intellectual property.
