http://www.deviantart.com/art/Map-623651629 The world of league is slowly but surely expanding with more condensed and familiar environments seen throughout many fantasy worlds. The various regions, cities and nations all coexist and interact with each other while dealing with their own problems and agendas

Demacia: the prosperous, 'perfect' kingdom of honor, peace and strength Noxus: the mighty expanding empire that looms over all Shurima: the scorched, fallen desert land, once a powerful empire Freljord: the cold harsh northern realm of barbarians Ionia: the far eastern nation, where many arts both mystical and martial can be found Bilgewater: the salty isles by the sea, place of trade, sea fare and of course pirates Shadow isles: the grim, bleak , haunted cataclysm where the dead never rest Mount taragon: where the stars converge and demigods are made Piltover: the shining metropolis that tests the boundaries of man and machine Zaun: the polluted lower den of criminals and wicked experiments Bandle city: the secret land of wonders few can able to comprehend The void: the hungry , Eldritch nothingness that aims to consume all of creation

[zombie-brand-mindblown] With so many settings each with a variety of plots, you'd think that riot would have run out of places to add to runeterra and just give us a full map. Well you'd be young as many rioters have said that they still have quite a few more places to add to the map that will further enrich the already wide settings.

Which is true as there are a number of unofficial and hinted places in runeterra which can be introduced at the right moment . To name A few

  1. The angelic realm: the home of Kayle and Morgana that for now only follows tge tipical setting of a heavenly realm inhabited by winged but power beings
  2. A demonic realm: though not openly stated but it can be less of a place for damned souls but more of an underworld orgin point of horrific monsters and humanities vices and fears given flesh and form
  3. Kumungu: it's hinting to be a wild ,vast and untamed jungle filled with ancient tombs containing various curses or treasures of a bygone era pre-rune wars
  4. Underwater kingdoms inhabited by Fizz and Namis people.

What kind of setting do you want to see added to league that would make it more interesting?

Angelic heavenly world since I love those 2 angels. I want to know more about thier past like how cold and genocidal Kayle actually got. How long it took Morgana to decide to stop her sister and how many angel warriors it took to suppress Morgana and finally exile her for protecting the lesser races they saw unjust to thier overly high standards.

Also might give me more fine angel ladies to enjoy, I'd love a full meta meeting team of angels. Some male angels for our female and gay players to fawn over.

Yeah I have a thing for angels clearly. Wanna fight about it?

Overall I'd really like the idea of a place that is similar to "alice in wonderland",where everything is kinda magical.

In one thread I suggested that the voodoo lands could be changed into that,because lets be honest there,the voodoo lands will receive a massive retcon eventually. Though I could also see the glade to turn out like this.

I'd also like to see a more tribal region,maybe inspired by aztecs,maya or something like that. Illaois people might actually fall into this category though,so maybe they can expand on the islands surrounding bilgewater a bit.

Aside from that I agree with your suggestions,though I don't think we really need a demon realm as demons seem to be spirits in runeterra and not the "fire and brimstone"-kind. The closest thing we have to that would be the darkin,but those are almost extinct and imprisoned in weapons.

I think OP's idea of a demonic realm and the Alice in Wonderland bizarro realm can be combined. It could serve as the home of Fiddle, Shaco, and Nocturne after their lore rework.

In my opinion, the regions we got are already really diverse and most champion tropes will fit in one or another.

Would be great to have a subterran faction, though. Maybe a big city in the depths of a mountain. Would give opportunity for more "ground related" champions. This city could be related to Piltover/Zaun for example, getting technology to build a city down there and protecting themselves against creatures of the depth.

Wild west, frontier, or border princes region. We have this 'lawlessness' to a degree in Bilgewater, though the Pirate aspect of that place is really the defining trope there. This Frontier could represent Piltover or Noxian trade outposts somewhere kind of dry and desert-like, say along the edge of Shurima, maybe the ruins of Icathia. There's just enough 'presence' for Noxus/Piltover to have nominal influence, but there's a lot of room for people to do their own thing. This seems like a more natural home for Graves , TwistedFate . Washed up Champions like Riven or Annie could end up here, too.
