Lore
Currently, there isn't any official lore in Ironlights. The developer E McNeill has said the following in the official Ironlights Discord server on September 30th, 2020 regarding the lore:

"There is very little lore right now. At least some more will be coming. But I've always had the idea that Ironlights is a virtual sport even inside the fiction of the game. That is, I imagine that the "lore" of Ironlights is that all these fighters are basically esports competitors, logging in from wherever to duel (i.e. play Ironlights) in front of a giant crowd of virtual onlookers."
