Hey guys! Its me Franz. It just occurred to me that, some readers out there, probably don't even play League of Legends, so here I am, putting their definitions, in this side-chapter. This chapter will be updated each time I add more unfamiliar terms, so that you, dear viewers, can understand them. I will be dividing them into categories, so you could probably just, find what you need in a jiffy.
Also, I will be adding an external link, (somewhere near the voting button), so that you may have a map of the world, League of Legends, takes place.
[Geology]
Runeterra is the name of the world, League of Legends takes place. It comprises of the supercontinent Valoran, the continent of Ionia, twelve oceans with two archipelagos around it, and a couple of moons rotating around the planet.
Valoran is the supercontinent, the location of the majority of the world's nations, as well as some of it's influential figures.
Valoran contains most factions, such as Demacia, Noxus, Shurima, Piltover, Zaun, Freljord, Mount Targon, and Bandle City.
[Factions]
Demacia is a strong, lawful society. A nation forged from the destruction caused by the Rune Wars. These people, Demacians, built a country with an enormous wall made from petricite to defend themselves from the threats of Arcane Magic.
Noxus is a powerful empire with fearsome reputation. A nation ruled by fear, strives to conquer all of Runeterra. Noxus is one the most, if not, powerful nations of Runeterra.
Piltover is a land of discovery. It has been dubbed as the 'city of progress' by many. It is Valoran's cultural center, where art, craftsmanship, trade, and innovation walk hand in hand. It's power does not come from military might, but the engines of commerce and forward thinking.
Zaun is a large, undercity district, lying the deep canyons and valleys threading Piltover. A city filtered through fumes leaking from the tangles of corroded pipework and reflected from the stained glass of its industrial architecture. Piltover and Zaun were once united, but are now separated, yet both still being symbiotic societies.
Mount Targon is the mightiest peak of Runeterra. Located far from civilization, Mount Targon is utterly remote and all but impossible to reach save by the most determined seeker.
Freljord is a harsh and unforgiving land. Fiercely independent, while only the those strong survive. It's people are born warriors, with a strong, radiating culture.
Icathia is a lost city among southwest Valoran. Icathia itself is considered mythical by most, though those who believe it once existed were certain that the sands had long since devoured whatever remained.
Shurima was once a thriving civilization that spanned a vast desert. After an era of growth and prosperity, the fall of its gleaming capital left the empire in ruins.
Bandle City is home to the Yordles. Small, vivid, and fascinating creatures. Those who claim to have traveled to Bandle City speak of a timeless quality, which may explain why many such taletellers appear to have aged tremendously or, in fact, never return at all.
Bilgewater is a haven for smugglers, marauders, and the unscrupulous, where fortunes are made and ambitions shattered in the blink of an eye. A nation located among the seas of Runeterra, outside of Valoran.
Ionia is a land of unspoiled beauty and natural magic. Its inhabitants, living in scattered settlements across this massive island continent, are a spiritual people who seek to live in harmony and balance with the world. Until one day, it was invaded by Noxus, which have left the wondrous nation in ruins.
Shadow Isles, the land which used to be the Blessed Isles, was once a beautiful realm, but it was shattered by a magical cataclysm known as the harrowing. Black mist permanently shrouds the isles and the land itself is tainted, corrupted by malevolent sorcery.
The Void is a nightmarish dimension said to exist outside space and time, where terrifying living weapons were wrought to win an ancient and long-since ended war.
[Creatures]
Xer'Sai are creatures from the Void that plague the southern deserts of Shurima. They are the size of big dogs on average, but can be smaller and much bigger.
And to be continued. Well, that's so far, what you need to know about the lore, heh, it sure is a load, but, hopefully you can take it. See you next time.
Ja Ne~
