Wait, what's that thing in the middle of the map?

Institute of War? That doesn't sound like it's a real thing...

This came up in the Shadow Isles lore thread as well. I think it's possible that the new portion of the map they showed earlier today is still congruent with this one and that it's just giving us more of a detailed look at what lies beyond (i.e. some wrap-around view that makes Runeterra very small, like you said) ... but I don't know. It also looks like the entire map could've been revamped.

A sketch of the new layout would be pretty awesome.

(Insert obligatory grumbling about having to figure out how to update Factions to accommodate the new map here.)

Another reason I'm glad the current arc is happening on another continent.

I Agree, In this Map Bilgewater and Shadow Isles are on opposite sides of the map, when on the new image they seem close together. Rito Plz

Two theories:

  1. They have redone valoran's layout
  2. The fog and the shadow isles are mobile, appearing in different locations to harvest souls

Option 3. There is just the one continent on Runeterra, all else is ocean. The Harrowing map shows the back of the planet and the distance between the Shawow Isles and Bilgewater is much smaller across the ocean on the "back" side than the "front."

they're making it smaller so they don't have to make new maps for us to play on outside of timed event modes Calling it. (as if they ever were going to give us magma chamber..rofl)

What does that have to do with anything?

#Summoners Rift does not even exist as a place within Rune Terra anymore.

Which still translates to never.
