As the League of Legends was established to prevent further Rune Wars on Valoran , the neutral aligned summoners called

forth exceptional individuals, referred t o as "Champions", to battle on the Fields of Justice in order to settle disputes . These champions have joined the League for various reasons. Some are soldiers who have pledged their allegiance to a particular nation and fight in their nati on's interests. Some are renowned warriors who seek to prove themselves against Valoran's most powerful beings. Some are prisoners of the League, forced to do t he League's bidding as punishment. Some may even be strange creatures from other worlds, hoping to bring stability or further discord to Runeterra. For whatever the champion's reason, they have gained the interest of the League of Legends.
