Let's talk about world building

With the new lore trickling out, I think it is important to start defining location. Especially now since location within Runeterra are disappearing as everyone one joins one of the main city-states. I'm waiting for the day where Annie is no longer part of the Voodoo Lands and is instead part of, i don't know, Demacia for "reasons." I do like the idea of city-states. But remember that city-states or more like New York state where the city-state is beyond just the city. But I think we need to define a lot of the world where the champions are coming from because we are focusing on the origins and motivations of those champions. And everyone will tell you, where you are from helps create you are to become. Below is a list of city-states and locations and a one sentence theme of the area.

City-States: Demacia - fascist state only good Noxus - fascist state only evil Bandle City - where the most evil champion, Teemo, calls his home Piltover - good tech city Zaun - bad tech city Bilgewater - pirate city Mount Targon - greek city Ionia - asian city

Locations: Shadow Islands - necromancy Freljord - cold hinterlands The Great Barrier - mountain range dividing continent in two Shuriman Desert - egyptian/middle east location Voodoo Lands - where the Gray Court live Void - where the cool champs come from Marai - where Nami comes from Kumungu Jungle - Jungle where the strongest survive Tempest Flats - Where Vlad became a hemomancer Plague Jungles - Where Wu Kong comes from Urtistan - Where Zilian comes from

Places on the map but not mentioned in current lore Bubbling Bog - a bog Fyrone Flats - a flat Serpetine River - a river, supposedly where the monsters live Mount Gargantuan - a big mountain Morgon Pass - the pass through the Great Barrier Icathia - where the entrance to the void is? Sablestone Mountains - where the entrance to the glade is? Howling Marsh - Where lots of the old lore champion's parents died Marshes of Kaladoun - a swamp Kaladoun - a place Ironspike Mountains - Where Tryndamere used to be from

So we got plenty of places to help define and further flesh out. Personally I think if we're retconning most of the lore, we should at least get a new map so we have an idea of the size of Valoran and the location of things.
