The Rune War began with the failure of a legal body founded to curtail political power—when this institute faltered, the fate of all was sealed. Historically, the forest where the Rift resides was the site of several battles between two summoner factions symbolized with the Stag and Owl crests.

The Stag, or the Protectorate, was an order dedicated to enforcing a rigid, unforgiving system of laws, in an attempt to slow the seemingly inevitable rise of the Magelords.

The Owl, or the Magelord, was a culture which once conquered more than half the world at the dawn of civilization. It was strictly segregated into brutal warrior-castes, whose rise and fall was dictated by their victories in battle. Though the great armies of the Magelord Empire have vanished into antiquity, their modern descendants uphold the vicious brutality of their ancestors.

Marauders are the remnants of that once powerful empire just as the Wardens are the remnants of the Protectorate order.

Wildlife

The large amount of concentrated magic has mutated the local wildlife. From  giant frogs,  giant birds to  two headed wolves it has also attracted the attention of a powerful  Dragon who currently resides in one of the battle torn ruins.  Sentinels,  Bramblebacks and  Krugs are creatures made from local flora and earth infused to construct a magical being. The Rifts unstable magic has inadvertently cause the reemergence of  Baron Nashor, a large Serpent/Worm largely believed to be dead for centuries. It has his corruption affecting the land around him.

Other known creature that live in this area are species of forest chameleons, ducks, Antlermice, Porowls, dragonflies and butterflies.

Antlermice

Antlermice are a quadruped mammalian species native to Summoner's Rift. They have large ears for hearing and a long skinny tail for movability against larger predators. Their fur varies from light to medium dark drown, and their eyes are of a light green color. Their antlers are used for attracting mates, contesting with other males and generally for mating seasons and self-defense.

Bantha

Bantha are large quadruped mammalian species used by Yordle merchants for transport. They have long brown fur across their whole body, large front tusks, hooves, and horns to fend off carnivorous predators. They are mainly herbivores. Despite its enormous and intimidating look, Banthas are gentle giants. One such creature was spotted on the Summoner's Rift.

Blast Cones

Blast Cones are a type of plant native to Summoner's Rift with with explosive fruit. Their explosive properties are powerful enough to fling a humanoid several meters away.
