Fiddlesticks
May 31, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 64.6 MBOur first true dive into horror. Riot did a great job getting the perfect writers to spook up Runterra and show us what new Fiddlesticks has to offer. Long gone is that silly scarecrow we'd grown to love, instead, we get a gasping demon with the power to turn entire towns into raving swarms of paranoia and maniacal laughter. How fun! Also, gimme Demon Hunting Corki, stat. --------- We have a Twitter now! https://twitter.com/loreheads Song Title: Fiddlesticks, the Harbinger of Doo...
Ezreal
May 24, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 69.6 MBOur favorite Prodigal Explorer boy has a few good stories and also somehow weaseled his way into just about every Alternate Universe that Riot Games has to offer. But you can just do what I did: grab a glass of wine, lean back and listen to John's sultry voice carry us through high school anime, football worlds, and a Star Guardian slumber party. --------------- We have a Twitter now! https://twitter.com/loreheads Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Co...
Evelynn
May 17, 2021 02:00 - 49 minutes - 45.5 MB"AGONY'S #1 FAN, OUR GIRL STANDING OUTSIDE YA BOY'S HOUSE WITH A BOOM BOX READY TO PARTY" EVELYNN. Sadly, right after Elise, Evelynn fell short a little, but we had a blast making fun of this demon and coming up with ways to incorporate her in-game personality with some of the lackluster stories Riot Games provided for us. EVELYNN/MUNDO is my new OTP let's go someone give me a good ship name for them. Evedo. Munlynn. Dr. Agony. One of those maybe. ------------- We have a Twitter ...
Elise
May 10, 2021 02:00 - 1 hour - 55.6 MBWe finally got a journey in the Shadow Isles with The Spider Queen, Elise (although only a small trip. A Spring Break, if you will). Sadly, her lore is about what you'd expect for a "temptress" spider queen lady with a giant chest, and it wasn't all that thrilling. You can listen to me horribly pronounce all the names and houses in Noxus though, and that's fun. ----------- We have a Twitter now! https://twitter.com/loreheads Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of...
Ekko
May 03, 2021 02:00 - 1 hour - 68 MBOur favorite Boy Who Shattered Time, Ekko, has a real bummer of a backstory. Even without being an orphan! Imagine that. We had a lot to say about this one because not only does he have a bunch of (sad sad, so sad) lore, he's a part of just about every ding dang Alternate Universe Riot Games has to offer. ---------- We have a Twitter now! https://twitter.com/loreheads Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends...
Draven
April 26, 2021 02:00 - 46 minutes - 42.2 MBDraven, the Glorious Draven, is more than just Darius's brother. Apparently. Sadly, Riot didn't give us much more than what we already knew, but this was still a fun look into the only Noxian with a sense of humor. Draven will catch axes and cut down the enemy but put a giant rabbit in front of him, and he's just like the rest of us normies. We have a Twitter now! https://twitter.com/home ----------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of R...
Dr. Mundo
April 19, 2021 02:00 - 33 minutes - 31 MBWe were pleasantly surprised to find Riot diving into a genre mashup not usually tampered with: some horror/comedy. The lovable Madman of Zaun is a darling, little purple medical expert (kind of) with a heart in the, uh, right place? Probably! Strap yourselves in and try not to look at the cleaver as Dr. Mundo swings his way into healing your obviously injured body. Hold still, now, you'll be better in no time and-- Hey, where are you going? MUNDO HEAL SO MUCH REAL GOOD! ----------- ...
Diana
April 12, 2021 02:00 - 52 minutes - 48.1 MBAlthough Diana, Scorn of the Moon has been out in the world for a very long time, her lore is still lacking in ways we found a bit disappointing. Between an interesting relationship with Leona (Riot pls make them gay we all know it's true), and an intense conflict with the people who raised her, Diana has a lot of room for interesting stories. Sadly, there just aren't any. Maybe one day! Until then, listen to us speculate on what they should do because obviously we know best. -----------...
Darius
April 05, 2021 02:00 - 1 hour - 83.9 MBFriends and Loreheads, after two weeks of lore amounting to less than 1k words, we finally have some story to sift through. Our favorite Hand of Noxus Darius looks like a generic, beefy ax boy at first glance, but Riot went ahead and gave this big boy some brains and, yes, even a heart. Also I had too much wine, apologies. Mark's lovely Darius fancast: https://imgur.com/WPzPwL8 ----------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games h...
Corki
March 29, 2021 02:00 - 36 minutes - 33.2 MBSadly, like last week, there's not much to say about The Daring Bombardier Corki, but we stretched this out anyway. With some truly riveting content, I'm sure. John complained that I left our entire Void name conversation in the last episode, so here's my official apology for that (I'm not sorry). ------------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/ ...
Cho'Gath
March 22, 2021 02:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MBSadly our beautiful, big terror of the void has the shortest bio we've come across so far. Cho'Gath doesn't have much going for him, aside from Big Smart Void Monster Who Eats Things (I just wrote the bio for you!) so RE'ROY, JO'ETS, and MA'TEN were really stretched for content here. I'd love to promise a longer episode next week but............... -------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news...
Cassiopeia
March 15, 2021 02:00 - 55 minutes - 51 MBWe used our favorite word again with The Serpent's Embrace, Cassiopeia: Potential. Yet another champion that got left behind with the lore reworks. Although she has some important sibling ties and literally killed another champion, Cassiopeia still feels like a nonfactor in the grand scheme of things. At least y'all get to hear Rebecca watch an old Dominion cinematic in real time. ------------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games ht...
Camille
March 08, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 74.6 MBWhile Camille, The Steel Shadow, might be an awesome lady, we're genuinely worried about the state of her feet. Can someone get this lady some cover-ups for her wildly sharp legs? This is important. But Camille manages to get beyond her scary, unreasonable appendages to do some dope stuff, so we still liked her. ---------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-...
Caitlyn
March 01, 2021 21:16 - 58 minutes - 53.5 MBOur favorite Piltover Sheriff remains a mystery as Riot refused to give us the in-depth lore Caitlyn deserves. Who is C? Do we care? What would be on Caitlyn's dating profile? All questions we still have after reading Caitlyn lore stories that are actually about other people. ------------ Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/ Image by Yuri_B from P...
Braum
February 22, 2021 03:00 - 48 minutes - 44.9 MBOur favorite cheery Freljordian dad was a little disappointing lore-wise, which is something we just have to start getting used to, I guess. But Braum, the Heart of the Freljord, is a pure delight, although do you think he'd be more fun with a baby? Also, Riot, hire me to write Braum and Illaoi's love story please and thank you. ----------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-m...
Brand
February 15, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBOur favorite firey man Brand The Burning Vengeance doesn't have much going for him, but Kegan is hella cool and interesting. There's a lot to unpack here, but we have to admit, we feel like we're missing a few pieces to help us connect this cool barbarian with the fire demon we all know and love. CONTENT WARNINGS: Discussions of rape and assault in this episode. ------------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.league...
Blitzcrank
February 08, 2021 03:00 - 50 minutes - 46.3 MBOur favorite Great Steam Golem Blitzcrank lives a simple life, letting us finally take a break from the massive wars and cosmos. They also, however, pop up in more Alternate Universes than I ever thought possible. Join us as we dive into Zaun for the first time aboard the massive descender The Rising Howl. ------------------ Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-s...
Bard
February 01, 2021 17:38 - 37 minutes - 34 MBLike a lot of champions we've explored, Bard, The Wandering Caretaker doesn't have much going for him. Chill out with some smooth grooves and crunchy vibes as we soar the stars and debate the horrors Bard is willing to fly away from while he collects his meeps. ------------------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/ Image by Yuri_B from Pixabay -...
Azir
January 25, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 56 MBUnfortunately, the lore for Azir, The Emperor of the Sands, is too messy for our liking. Like most champions, his backstory holds a lot of promise with little payoff. Unlike most champions, Azir's story is full of nonsensical decisions and massive plot holes, despite having a longer bio than most champions. Join us as we dissect where Riot went wrong with this emperor. Content Warnings for discussions of rape and slavery. Never thought I'd have to put that in a podcast about LoL lore. -...
Aurelion Sol
January 18, 2021 03:00 - 38 minutes - 35.3 MBOur favorite space dragon and star forger Aurelion Sol is a pretentious little beast who opens the door beyond the stars before we've even explored all of Runterra. Although he doesn't have much lore, it is denser than that old fruit cake you got for Christmas. Fun game: count how many times we say the word "Insufferable" ------ Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creato...
Ashe
January 11, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 61.1 MBOur favorite Frost Archer, Ashe, has a lot to explore and explore we did! Between comics, stories, and some fantastically interesting AU's, Ashe lends herself to some great arcs as she might be the strongest protagonist we've explored so far. ------------ Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/ Image by Yuri_B from Pixabay - book with sparkles
Aphelios
January 04, 2021 03:00 - 45 minutes - 41.8 MBAphelios, The Weapon of the Faithful has a surprisingly dark story involving quite a bit of self-poisoning, so to brighten things up we dreamt up some great skins he might get in the future. Help the Loreheads figure out who to trust in the Solari/Lunari battle as we wonder who is using who in this toxic (hah!) twin relationship between Aphelios and his twin, Alune. ----------- https://league-of-loreheads.simplecast.com Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Lege...
Annie
December 28, 2020 03:00 - 42 minutes - 39.4 MBOne of the original champions in League of Legends, Annie: The Dark Child has a confusing mix of Absolutely Devastating backstory and Heartless Demon Child. Help us figure out where Annie fits in this universe as we pick apart her backstory and beautifully done cinematic. ----------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/ Image by Yuri_B from Pixab...
Anivia
December 21, 2020 03:00 - 34 minutes - 31.4 MBAnivia, the Spongebob of the Freljord. I mean...The Cryophoenix. Whatever. She basically has no lore, so we gotta fill in the spaces, and I, for one, like the Spongebob Alternate Universe. Since Anivia is our first Freljord champion, the Loreheads lay some groundwork for future frozen champs. --------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/ Image b...
Amumu
December 14, 2020 03:00 - 37 minutes - 34 MBThere's not much in the Amumu lore, so naturally John went off on the one short story we had and basically just...told you the entire thing. You're welcome! Our favorite sad mummy was a prince or a yordle, was a sweet boy or a tyrannical young prince. No one really knows, but all of Amumu's legends end the same: A little mummy was left to wander Runterra alone and drown in his sorrows for the rest of time. -------------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends ...
Alistar
December 07, 2020 03:00 - 40 minutes - 36.8 MBSo listen, The Minotaur Alistar doesn't have a lot going for him so we had to make some stuff up. What adorable champion would you like to see bash some baddies around with our favorite Minotaur? Or maybe you can go Mark's Frenemies route. Either way, this dude is a true support, and also can someone please get these chains off of him? Do they not have fantasy wire cutters or something? ------------------ Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Rio...
Akali
November 30, 2020 03:00 - 46 minutes - 42.9 MBThe Rogue Assassin Akali has a great little backstory, but so do a bunch of side characters that we might have gotten a bit distracted by. Riot please give us a Faey champion I am begging. ------------------ Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/ Image by Yuri_B from Pixabay - book with sparkles
Ahri
November 23, 2020 03:00 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MBThe Nine-Tailed Fox, Ahri has a rich history of....um. Well, who knows? But it also features a K-Pop group and going to school with a bunch of monsters. Oh wait, those are the other universes. Wherever she is, Ahri is kicking ass and charming bitches with her nine tails. ------------------ Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/ Image by Yuri_B from Pixaba...
Aatrox
November 16, 2020 03:00 - 51 minutes - 47.1 MBThe Darkin Blade Aatrox should really be a big pile of meat swinging a sword around, and we can't figure out why Riot made him so dang sexy. If not a pile of meat, then maybe a Starbucks wall? Also, where's our Barn Bard skin, Riot? -------- Song Title: Dragon Trainer Tristana Artist: League of Legends Courtesy of Riot Games https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/riot-music-creator-safe-guidelines/ Image by Yuri_B from Pixabay - book with sparkles
