This article complies with version 0.95 of Runarcana RPG

Arcane was an adult animated series, in the action and adventure genres, created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee and distributed by Netflix.

It is practically impossible to pinpoint the importance of Arcane in each of its layers, for the animations, for Riot Games, for the players, for the spectators and for Runarcana.

With the end of the series, we celebrate with an update containing several new contents for RPG adventures using Runarcana. Everything here was created and built with great care and dedication, to give Runarcana players a little more taste of Arcane at their tables.

We would have liked to have produced this earlier and published it alongside the season, but many things could change by the end of the series and as we value being as faithful to the canon as possible, we had to wait until the end.

Below is a summary of the new content with links directly to each of them, enjoy and have wonderful adventures at fantastic tables!

The content presented here is not canonical or official for Runeterra, with many creations and adaptations being made to bring this content to the RPG table.

Origins

Chireans

In Arcane we met Scar, one of Ekko's friends and a member of the Chirean Origin. Legends of Runeterra players were already familiar with the Chireans long before Arcane, as that was the game where they were first introduced.

The Chreans were presented as creatures of short stature, although they are larger than Yordles and had the characteristic of not being able to speak human languages.

When Scar was introduced in Arcane, these two traits were left aside, as he was not only taller than a fully grown Ekko, but was also fully capable of communicating in a human language.

To solve this, the Chirean Origin was created having 2 bloodlines, the Nocti bloodline representing the Chirean of Legends of Runeterra and the Fulgor bloodline representing the Chirean of Arcane.

Nebulons

In the first season of Arcane we were introduced to Advisor Irius Bolbok, a robotic-looking creature with a new look for Runeterra.

In a post on X during the second season's airing, Arcane's creator said that the counselor and his family belong to an origin of gaseous creatures, which was enough for us to think about how to bring this origin to Runarcana.

Nebulons are a Variant of Constructs and can therefore be used together to create characters of this new origin without having to create a completely new origin with almost no base material.

Heritages

As is typical in Runarcana, these two new origins bring with them some exclusive Heritages related to the concept of each of them, bringing more options to the new characters created.

Chirean Heritages

• Strong Collective
• Pteropus
• Technomaniac

Nebulon Heritages

• Corrosive Gas
• Ionized Gas
• Thermionic Gas

Construct Heritage

• Modularity

Variant Heritages

As stated above, the Nebulon Variant Heritage has been added, allowing a Construct character to be of the same origin as Advisor Irius Bolbok when building a Construct.

Shimmer

The purple substance called Shimmer is a reworking of something that existed in the early history of League of Legends, gaining immense importance in Arcane.

As it is an extremely dangerous chemical substance, rules have been added for its use.

Formulas

Alchemist

With the arrival of Shimmer, several Alchemist formulas were added, some reflecting events and facts from Arcane, while others were worked on to connect to other parts of Runeterra's lore that had not yet been updated.

• Shimmer

This is the formula to create Shimmer, a very dangerous substance, extremely addictive but also capable of many permutations for those crazy enough to experiment with it.

• Vaporizable Shimmer

One of the ways we've seen Shimmer consumed is through vaporizers, so a formula was created to make this possible at Runarcana tables as well.

• Shimmer Infusion: Speed

When Singed performs an emergency operation on Jinx, we become aware of how some of the character's characteristics were acquired. The idea of ​​this formula is that it replicates the effects Jinx received when undergoing this operation.

• Shimmer Infusion: Juggernaut

Although Dr. Mundo did not appear in Arcane, the character is very charismatic and loved by players, so using the same idea of ​​the infusion made in Jinx, based on Mundo's story, this infusion was created that can make other creatures suffer the same condemnation.

• Corrupting Potion

The corrupt potion is an old acquaintance of League of Legends players and its color being the same as Shimmer is not something we would let go unnoticed, so a formula was created so that it can exist in Runarcana.

Techmaturge

• Chirean Adjustable Wrench

This item is a Chirean-exclusive item, and is always seen with the Nocti.

• Chirean Mask

Due to its characteristics, the Nocti developed this mask to have a smoother transit when they go to the surface.

• Firelight Mask

Based on the Chirean Mask, the Firelight Mask works for other humanoid creatures, and is also the trademark of the Firefly gang led by Ekko.

• Firelight Board

Ekko and his gang have been roaming around Zaun and engaging in thrilling combat using these hoverboards. Now you can use them in Runarcana as well.

Gadggets

Improved Weaponry: Atlas Enhancement

This is the formula to build Vi's gloves, although in Arcane they were built by Jayce and Viktor, nothing prevents other characters from using them in new adventures.

Mecha: Turbo Chemtank

This item that first appeared in League of Legends attracted attention in the first season of Arcane, they are like mechas powered by Shimmer and represent an enormous danger.
