Timeline

“	"Time was the one inescapable constant, in all things. Even the mighty god-warriors were not immune to its passage… though they were revered above all others in Shuriman culture."
	— Zilean, The Chronokeeper

This article compiles all the official timelines and sources published by Riot Games into a non-exhaustive timeline of recorded important events in the League of Legends Runeterra Prime universe. This should not be considered as an official timeline but should be as accurate as, and more complete than, any timeline that Riot Games has provided.

Numbering in this timeline is based on the founding of Noxus (BN - Before Noxus; AN - After Noxus), as this is the method used by the official sources. All dates are considered to be spans of time from one to the next since many events are only given vague ordering and estimated dates.

For easier navigation, the timeline is also split into several key eras.

Lore

With territories spread across Runeterra, the empire of Noxus has united and assimilated countless smaller nations over the course of centuries. Aside from its obvious military strength and stable, central governance, Noxus takes great pride in "bringing the calendar" to every corner of the globe.

But to be Noxian is to subscribe to their notion of world's history, which begins long before the Rune Wars that gave rise to the empire. Since many historical records were lost in those dark times, the precise details of anything earlier are likely based on conjecture, or popular myth.

Prehistory

These timelines encompass history predating the formation of Runeterra, as well as timelines after its formation until the emergence of modern Humans.

The Origins

“	In the dark beginning, a spark of creation rippled through the universe. What sound it made, what light it shone, we will never know, for there were not yet then words to describe, nor yet ears or eyes to perceive it.^[1]

- Ornn came to be.
- Anivia came to be.
- Volibear came to be.
- Iron Boar came to be.
- Seal Sister came to be.
The Freljordian demi-gods terra-form the land known as Vorrijaard that will eventually be called the Freljord.
Origins of Snow.
- Ornn constructs his home and calls it "Horn Hall".
- Anivia, annoyed by Ornn for felling her favorite perching trees to build his home, tries to tickle Ornn's nose with her feathers, causing Ornn to sneeze a gout of flame that set fire to his bedsheets, eventually spreading to the floor. Anivia panicking, flapped her wings to fly away, but this only stoked the fire hotter with the dry Freljord air. Soon, all of Horn Hall was alight. The fire raged for days as Ornn slept through the whole thing. He awoke atop a pile of ashes in a very bad mood. But he did not know what Anivia had done. And to this day, she has never told him the truth.
- Ornn sought out to construct his second home, with non-flammable material. He fashioned himself a spade, a lever, and a fork. With these tools, he could dig for ore, move mighty pillars, and eat the delicious spiced cherries he so enjoyed.
- Ornn hammered and shaped chunks of ore until a black mountain stood. Inside was a great forge that channeled the primordial molten flame from deep within the earth. He was pleased with his new home dubbed "Hearth-Home".
- Due to his home being too hot for even Ornn to endure, he dug a trench from the sea, straight to the mountain. The Seal Sister allowed cold waters to rush through the trench and cool the Hearth-Home. Great plumes of steam rose up. It took three days for the mountain to cool enough for Ornn. In that time, the ocean that fed the river dipped several inches.
- So much steam had risen from the waters that the perpetual blue sky was mottled with darkening gray clouds. As these new puffy forms gathered and cooled, they grew heavier and heavier until they burst with snow.
- It snowed for a hundred years, being the primary reason why the land later called the Freljord is covered in snow to this day.
Ornn gave fire to Humans.

- Three Iceborn sisters, Lissandra, Serylda and Avarosa receives immortality from the Watchers
The three sisters request Ornn to construct a massive bridge above the Howling Abyss, where the Lissandra's palace would later be built. Ornn, using a hammer constructed from a meteor gifted by the three sisters, built the bridge on his own.
Ornn, meanwhile, realized he did not like people asking him favors, and threw his spade as far to the west as he could. Where it landed, no one knows, and its fate is lost to darkness.

Ne'Zuk, the Ascended Host of Ixtal and an elemental mage of colossal power went before the emperor, pledging to create a weapon powerful enough to take the fight to the Void, and eradicate it at the source of its original eruption.
After months of inhuman labor, Ne'Zuk revealed the Monolith—a floating fortress of living stone, maintained by the greatest elemental mages, and its ramparts manned by his fellow Ixtali god-warriors.
Battle of the Monolith
- Ne'Zuk and his superweapon arrived in Icathia to combat the Void which dragged into weeks.
- The Void gouged deep wounds into the living stone of the Monolith, whose surfaces became pocked and seared with unnatural malphite, leaving mineral-like scars. The fortress was pushed to the very limits of its design, struggling to self-repair and reknit its weakened superstructure...
- As Ne'Zuk fought to rally his Ascended brethren for one last charge, the Monolith crashed down to earth, cleaving through the bedrock of Icathia and opening the Void beneath to the skies.
- Much of the fortress was lost within that gaping maw, vanishing into the silent nothingness beyond. The rest rained down as great ruins, littering the battlefield. Only Ne'Zuk survived, hauling himself from the wreckage and fleding for his life.
Wishing to preserve what little remained of their nation and to escape the wrath of the empire, Ixtal mages drawn the wildness around them like a shield, isolating Ixaocan from the rest of the world.
Numerous shards of the Monolith will eventually be destroyed by the energies of the Void, with only a single isolated shard surviving to the modern times which would later build itself into an elemental golem known as Malphite.
As a desperate solution agaisnt the Void, the Nether Blade is created and wielded by Horok, an Ascended warrior who deleved deep into underground Void tunnels, attacking the rifts at it's roots with his forbidden weapon. His actions would turn the tide of the war.

End of the Void War.
- The Sai Kahleek region becomes a place of Void infestation, ruled by Rek'Sai of the Xer'Sai.

In an attempt to ensure Azir's future as the ruler, Xerath causes all of his brothers to be stillborn, however the Queen manages to bore a son, so Xerath feels obligated to kill her. Azir's father (the emperor) was present when it happened, and so Xerath killed him as well.

- Ta'anari proposes that the next wielder of the Chalicar would be Sivunas Alahair, the Bringer of Rains, one of Azir's remaining descendants.
- Xuuyan disagrees and tries to take the Chalicar by force. Ta'anari is forced to slay him using Portal Jump. The usage of such magic break the fetters that bound the immortal breath of the gods to Ta'anari's human flesh.
- The other Darkin disagree with uniting to stop the war against the other Ascended and Darkin. Ta'anari, with the aid of Myisha, used Chalicar to heavily funnel his vitality rather than being drawn mad, and release an empowered form of Moonfalling to kill all Darkin in the meeting.
- Shabaka and Shabake were vaporized instantly by the Moonfall, with Syphax, Zigantus and Enakai dying to the moonfall a few moments later.

400 BN

Disappointed by the afterlife, Sahn-Uzal refused to fade away and began to call out across the veil between realms, promising his indomitable strength to any who dared listen.
Coven of Sorcerers resolved to bring Sahn-Uzal back from the dead. Lacking any flesh or bone, he spurred them to make him stronger than any mortal, binding his spirit-form in dark metal plates wrought in the likeness of his old armor.
Sorcerers had hoped to use him as a weapon in their trivial wars. Instead, he slew them where they stood, their weapons and magic useless against him. They were unable to bind him as he was reborn as Mordekaiser.
- Mordekaiser's begins his revenant crusade.

400 BN - 100 BN

Mordekaiser begins construction of the Immortal Bastion in the center of his empire.
During his conquest, Mordekaiser crushed and enslaved all who would oppose his rule, including an order of Noxii mages who had renewed their study of ancient celestial magic. The mages were drawn to the stars in their search for purpose and hope in their ruined land after the Great Darkin War, but were unskilled in war, and thus useless to Mordekaiser. But between the mages, Mordekaiser discovered an innocent Yordle named Veigar, who imagined himself a master in celestial magic, drawn to their curiosity. Recognising the Yordle's crafty nature, Mordekaiser imprisoned Veigar within the Immortal Bastion, preventing his escape to Bandle City by binding him to the physical plane - the worst possible torture for a Yordle. In captivity, Veigar was forced to devise grim enchantments to sustain Mordekaiser's dominion, many bringing only terror for terror's sake. Veigar's spirit slowly corrupted over centuries of exposure to evil, though never entirely, despite his best efforts.
At the height of Mordekaiser's dark reign, it was said that a mythic and bloodthirsty fiend haunted the coastal cliffs of eastern Valoran, demanding young lives and savage worship from the local tribes. Few were welcome in his lair, until the day a pale sorceress approached this barbarian god with an offer. The two feasted together as equals, weaving magic so dark that the wine at their table soured, and the roses withered, vibrant red turning to black.
- Black Rose was formed.
- LeBlanc became the matron of The Black Rose.
Mordekaiser was finally defeated by an alliance of Noxii tribes, and by a betrayal from within his own inner circle. This hidden cabal managed to sever the anchors of his soul from his armor, and sealed the empty iron shell away in a secret place. His soul returned to the Hall of Bones where he amassed his power for centuries.

The Ruination

25 BN

There was an empire conquering many lands. Its king had many enemies and during an assassination attempt on the king, only the speed of general Kalista's sword arm could avert disaster. However, in saving the king, Kalista caused the assassin to slice the king's wife with his poisoned blade, dooming her to certain death. The king dispatched Kalista to quest for a cure, with Hecarim replacing her role in her absence.
On her journey, Kalista set sail for the Blessed Isles. The island's inhabitants accepted Kalista's request and asked her to bring the queen to the island, where they would cleanse her.
While Kalista was away, the king descended into madness, locking himself in a tower with the queen's corpse upon her death. Hecarim led the Iron Order. The kingdom was in darkness when Kalista returned from her quest. She found the cure for the queen, but it was too late to save her.
The king asked Kalista for what she had found. Upon seeing the king's mental state, Kalista refused to reveal what she discovered and was named a traitor.
Eventually, at Hecarim's behest, she revealed what she had discovered.
The king sailed for the Blessed Isle and asked the island's guardians to resurrect the queen. The guardians refused and the king flew into a rage.
The city was ransacked in order to find the thing the king was seeking. A custodian later known as Thresh guided the King to the spirit waters of the island where he could perform his resurrection ritual. The ritual was half-successful, bringing back his deceased wife but in a decaying body in which she begged for death again. Grief overtook the king and he performed a ritual to end their lives and bind them together for all eternity. His conjuration was successful, but unwittingly empowered by the many potent magical artifacts stored on the island, its power was increased a hundredfold.
A terrible accident occurred in the arcane vaults beneath the city of Helia, hidden away on the Blessed Isles. With the barrier between the material and spirit realms shattered, the souls of the dead were trapped in eternal torment within the coiling Black Mist, and the newly dubbed Shadow Isles were abandoned by all right-thinking mortals.

At this point Ryze works with his master to try and claim the Runes and put them in hiding, while the world continues be imperilled.
Ryze confronts his master, Tyrus, who tried to use two World Runes to power himself. Ryze kills him and vows to never use a World Rune, but instead safeguard them from everyone.
The Brackern sense the magical conflict and choose to hibernate underground; opting to wait out the conflict with the hope that humanity will destroy itself and they can then live in peace again.

Zaun finalizes its plans to destroy a portion of the isthmus connecting Valoran and the Southern Continent, allowing safe sea passage between eastern and western Valoran. The plan involved using thousand of chemtech bombs to create the passage, but the results were catastrophic, as in what seemed to be an accident the bombs triggered a series of earthquakes that completely destroyed the isthmus and sank large districts of Zaun and thousands of its citizens, while also leaking poisonous gas in to the city's surviving areas.
- Janna, empowered by the prayers of Zaun's people, arrived and blew away the gas, saving many lives and being eternally remembered by Zaun's denizens, converting her from a goddess of faith for sailors to a guardian deity for Zaun. She has yet to leave Zaun following this event.
Eventually Zaun was rebuilt. In order to regulate the oceanic passage they were built over, the Sun Gates were constructed, forcing all transport through the waters to be regulated by Zaun. This brought immense wealth to the city and likely led to Piltover's construction and elevation from Zaun, as the merchant clans were in control of most of the money coming through this trade route.

Elicia is injured and the Clan is forced to retreat. Several weeks later Skarner began his quest to recover the stolen lifestones, and succeeded in retrieving one. Many were brought to Piltover and used to fuel hextech, becoming known as the first "Hex Crystals". The ultimate fate of these crystals remains unknown.
- This attack on the Brackern seemingly led others to also hunt the Brackern, but to what extent remains unknown. In the modern era, rings made from "sing-stone" are traded by the Shurimans of Kalamanda and Urzeris.
