Yordle Relations to Demacia

The Soulforged·7/3/2015, 11:17:22 PM·4 votes·1,014 views

Considering that the Yordles have an embassador to Demacia, I'm interested in there general relations to them. Demacia is a harsh place to live for those born into lower classes, and is quite the aristocratic place. Compared to yordle society (which I'm sure is full of love of everybody and cupcakes) Demacia seems like a place that most yordles would dislike if given the full knowledge of the place. Considering these points, what would Poppy see in Demacian politics. She seems like quite the open minded yordle, and also quite respectful to Demacia, but what does she see in those she works with there. Is she annoyed by the stubborn and snobbishness of the general people of Demacia, or does she see both sides? I truly think she finds them ok to work with but she most likely dislikes one or two people, and I think she would work well together. But what about when it comes to the actions Demacia and Bandle City most likely don't discuss with each other, such as war. Demacia is quite the militant place, and considering their relations, the two of them are sure to rumble once in a while. They surely take measures that others would find extreme, especially Yordles. Considering the general personalities of the little critters, I'd say that they're mostly anti-violent, except when they are hardened in the military (see Teemo *cough Satan *cough). What would the yordles think of their measures to situations. Considering how Yordles are creatures who seem to lock themselves up from the outside world, for the moment, I have to say that as long as they don't have to live there, Yordles won't mind their relations with Demacia and will continue on with life.

I seriously hope that, with the big upcoming Poppy update, we'll have more revealed about the subjects you mentioned. :P

I dont agree with this... even if most of them are jovial and happy, they are also described as a fierce race in the lore of Veigar and articles of the JoJ that mentions that some yordles live in Noxus and some of them even fought against the "barbarians" of Freljord.

Bandle City has a large army, Special forces (the Bandle Gunners, Megling Commandos and the Scouts (and maybe Omega Squad if we count Skins)), a naval force that fought against pirates (according to the JoJ if i remember correctly) and the BEST Aerial Squadron of Valoran... also, in some official pictures of Bandle there are shops selling swords (and yordles with helmets) which means that yordles also use swords and armors... in fact there is a yordle knight riding a horse in one of them

And if we look at the yordle champions and their lores, this is confirmed even more.... Normal citizens of Bandle build war machines and bombs for sake of Science... not machines for fun... machines for WAR.

The soldiers of Bandle are seen as Heroes.

Demacia is very righteous.

Veeeeeeeery Righteous. They believe in what appears to be a Caste system: What group you belong to spells what you must do for the greater good of society.

What makes it different from a Caste system is that social mobility isn't impossible, and diligent workers can move up the ranks and such. Demacia is strict, but there is still justice in their system. This is why Jarvan was able to bring Shyvana, Quinn, Xin Zhao (and possibly Galio) into his inner circle, although this has alienated a portion of the Demacian populace, as well as the nobility.

But for Yordles? Very hard. They aren't human and as such they are treated very formally and Demacians worry what Yordles could do to the social order if they are given the same leeway as the rest of the populace, since Yordles are rare everywhere except for Bandle City. So I'd imagine that Demacia is a bit less informal and warm to the fuzzy, warm lil' buggers, as Demacia is probably the worst city-state in terms of social flexibility.
