About Arcane characters
The cast of Arcane, Riot's animated series. Arcane is set in Piltover and Zaun and tells a version of those characters' stories with far more room than any game text has — which also makes it the place where the canon is most openly in tension with itself.
Characters here are indexed as they appear in the series rather than as they appear in a game. Several have no playable counterpart at all, and several of those became the most recognisable figures in the whole setting.
Where a character also exists as a champion, the entry links both ways, and the differences are worth reading as deliberate rather than as mistakes.
The series also introduced characters who existed only as names in older texts and gave them faces, histories and motives. For several of them Arcane is now the primary source, and the game material reads as the earlier, thinner draft.
Where this data comes from
Arcane characters are read from Riot's own public data feeds rather than typed out or scraped from a wiki. That means an entry reflects the patch currently live: when Riot ships a change, the next collection run carries it, and nothing here is a hand-maintained copy that can quietly fall a season behind.
It also means the gaps are honest ones. Where Riot publishes no value for a field, this database shows none rather than guessing, and where a field exists only in one game's feed it is not invented for the others. The endpoints, their URL shapes and the versioning that governs them are documented in full in the Data Dragon and Community Dragon reference, including the two set identifiers a numeric loop silently skips.
The rest of the Arcane database
The same data set, cut by kind. Characters is one section; the others below hold the rest of what Arcane ships, read from the same source on the same patch.
Every entry in this database describes a character, object or place that belongs to Runeterra, and the archive carries the stories they come from. The Archive of Runeterra indexes those works, the timeline puts them in in-world order, and the Data Dragon reference documents the public endpoints this data is read from.
