I have a question about stuff at riot. Is it okay if I DM you? No troll.

Um actually grammatically this should be "whom" do you keep.
Downvoted for Travis's poor grammar skills. Upvoted for MarkZ.
Wait but Kalista is the first born from the first born. Does this not make her the heir?
Viego is Kalista's uncle, even though she's older than he is. So Kalista's father, Nivor, was Viego's brother (or half-brother, I believe). Succession follows whoever was closest to the previous king (Alvaro), so when Nivor died unexpectedly, Viego became heir as the last living child of Alvaro.
Is this coming to Australia?
Hi! It's already available in Australia. Here's a link to a copy, though you can also check with any local bookstores to see if they have it in stock.
It seems she was capable, but Viego was next heir before her because he's the son of the previous king while she's the granddaughter. Even if she's older, Viego is next in line
^ This is the correct answer. If Sanctity had deemed Viego unworthy, Kalista would have been next in line.
Have to plans to translate the books?
Yes, we are translating the book into quite a few languages! You can follow updates on our landing page (see the FAQ at the bottom) about availability in different countries/languages.
Can you please reveal Heca's VA in the audiobook? I loved the perfect blend of nobility, sexiness, obvious evil-guy vibe in hindsight. Not to f*cking mention how perfectly it matches the grungy, gruff, camp (in a good way) voice of our in-game horseboy!
Hecarim is voiced by Scott McNeil, the same actor who recorded his voice lines for the game!
They did something like this before, Remember the Brolaf Skit?
Brolaf skit was great. I edited and scored it!
Nice, good to see you're still doing it. Sometimes I miss those little corners of the boards most people didn't go to. There were some nice little places.
I lurk on the Lore of Runeterra discord every so often, but I also miss the Boards sometimes.
I recognize this name. Are you the Rioter who would always pop up on the boards whenever anyone mentioned maps?
That's exactly who I am, and I helped on the maps in the RUINATION novel too :D
I have no idea what this is referencing but I too now want to learn about sand trolls.
That'd be the sand trolls mentioned in one of Ezreal's field notes on the Runeterra map. He says:
HERE BE SAND-TROLLS
Did you know sand-trolls are a thing? I, for one, did not know sand-trolls were a thing. Turns out—sand-trolls, totally a thing.
-Ez
What other champs did you consider putting in there that weren't previously related to the Ruination? (like Ryze and Soraka)
Teemo, obviously. ;)
So what happen to the rune? And is what happen to the rune a consequence of what happens if other rune get shattered? And what happen to Vladimir?
The POV characters in the book didn't get to see exactly what happened to the rune, so it wasn't something the book needed to focus on. I have my ideas, but not sure that needs to be completely defined at this point - someone else at Riot might have a better idea (or maybe I'll have a better idea), so sometimes it's nice not to commit publicly to a direction if we don't need to.
As for Vlad? I'd have liked to have him appear, but I think I'd have need considerably more pages in the book than I had to do him justice. This was Kalista's story, really, and we needed to be fairly ruthless to keep it focused.
What has writing this book taught you about approaching the lore for the mmo?
Hmm, I'm not sure specifically. Probably more just a reinforcement about how big and beloved this IP is, and how important it is to treat our champions (and our regions, cultures etc) with deep respect. Every champ is someone's favorite, and every part of the world is someone's favorite, so I think approaching everything with a certain humility and respect it really important.
what is the name of the continent that camavor is shown on in the map included with the book?
another rioter on here, i believe it may have been reav3 (not 100% sure) once said we were previously only seeing about 1/6th of the world with just the continents of valoran/shurima/ionia. are there current plans to expand the lore of this new continent past this book and nilah (assuming kathkan is one of those “independent kingdoms” on the map)? or any other continents and societies besides the ones we’re already so familiar with?
Currently undefined, I believe, or at least there has not been a product shipped that needed to define it. I'm sure more of Runeterra will be explored in the future, but it's hard to say exactly where, or when (or how). Not he most satisfying answer, sorry!
Hey guys, I was wondering what you could share about future lore releases. Are there more shorts and novels on the horizon? Which stories/regions are the most interesting for y’all to explore? Thanks doing this AUA!
I'd love to see more stories, for sure, but I'm slightly biased!
I love Noxus, and the Freljord, in particular... oh, and Zaun. And Demacia. Oh, and... I guess I just like them all, really.
Outside the scope of the book perhaps, but is there any trace in cultures between the familiar regions of the western continents Valoran/Shuriman and Camavor? Something that can directly be attributed to the latter, perhaps through immigrant?
Quite possibly, but that's not been explored as yet.
I wish I could read/comment but I haven't read it yet - I've got my copy though and looking forward to it, so thanks!
I hope you enjoy it! :)
i just really want to learn about sand trolls.
