As someone who ran a League of Legends site for a little bit: I do want to stress there is a lot of lore to shift through which makes for an even greater amount of information for readers to read. As an example: you've got around 15 different nations and I think like 30 different sub-factions (things like "the Black Rose" or "Frostguard") included in Runeterra and that doesn't include things like unique flora, fauna, or species.
As Mavroh posted above me: trying to find particular plots to focus on will make the site a lot easier to run: but I think the hardest part will be finding a way to compile all of the information into something that's easy to digest and understand for those who aren't familiar with the lore. You not only have an empire expanding and a city capturing those who can do magic - but you also have two warring communities in the freljord, an empire in shurima that's slowly making it's rise again thanks to the return of the emperor, and an entity known as The Void that's slowly consuming all. There's a lot of options to work with so narrowing it down to the Most Important plot in the moment is key, I think.
I also think allowing for more options of races is always fun and unique. You have (again as Mavroh mentioned) creatures like spirits but you also have canon entities seen in the game like trolls, undead, golems, and voidborn. I wouldn't be too quick to limit species as allowing someone to create something like a voidborn can lead to great plotting / event potential in the future. I also think maybe allowing people to create ascended / darkin / and aspects would be fun to allow players to be but maybe as a "premium" race or only allotting one per person. You could even make certain specific canons and allow those to be filled ("The Aspect of Time", "The Aspect of Peace" etc)
Personally: I'm also someone that would rather enjoy having canon characters as an option. But I would, at the very least if you decide not to add them in as playable, still keep them in the lore. Otherwise it makes certain events difficult to portray or some groups not relevant at all. Irelia, for example, was a huge aspect in the fight between Ionia and Noxus. Ashe and Sejuani leading their two tribes in the Frejlord etc.
Overall though I'm super excited to see the outcome of this c:
