Worldbuilding: Your Turn!

It's a lovely Wednesday evening and I am exceedingly bored. I've got nothing stocked up for posting here, so I'll let the boards community give me some ideas. Ask me some worldbuilding questions (can be broad or specific) and I'll see if I can answer! As you might be able to guess from my series of posts, I particularly like answering questions about the world as a whole and not specific champs, though I could probably answer some champ questions anyway.

My turn too? https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kT6k1cxS5SE/W3dL7RnjazI/AAAAAAABGBY/nmzoFi6dcCcyyX3JzlRCqk-rK5Lg9RT9ACLcBGAs/s1600/6c4cf2987143ac05.png What sorts of sports or games do you imagine the peoples of Runeterra might play?

(No hidden agenda behind the question - just an idle pondering and thought it'd be fun to discuss.)

Considering how many cultures Noxus has annexed and integrated into itself, I imagine there is actually a wide variety of sports/games/contests that would be seen across the empire. Some of them might still be region-locked in the places of their origin, but I imagine if a prominent warband was moved across the land, they might carry some of their traditions with them. A moving army will still have downtime, soldiers will still need to keep themselves entertained. Which could help spread things across the empire.

Noxus as a whole I imagine would value games that prominently feature feats of strength/speed/skill. Rugby is likely a good example. Id also imagine the upper levels of society might value games involving thinking and planning, chess being a fine example.

Do you think we'll ever get a beatiary type thing which includes all the animals found in runeterra with information about them?

Lot's of different creatures are mentioned in all the bits of lore, it would be nice to have them all in one place.

In your opinion, who’s the coolest champion in all of Runeterra and why is it Quinn Valor?

What exactly IS the Navori Brotherhood?

Riot said they would talk more about them after Irelias' release but they never clarified. What are their goals. Are they allied with Irelia or not? why do they fight Ryze and Sona in the latest Cinematic?

Here’s a question that’s been bothering me for a long time. What do all the spirits on the Shadow Isles actually do with their spare time? Asides from the Harrowing or waiting for a ship to randomly m land on their shores. And I’m not just talking about the big baddies like Thresh and Hec - I mean the whole dang population.

What would you say if I called Noxus a communist society? As a Swain main I'm just curious.

Wait, are you a rioter or something or are you just very very knowledgeable about League of Legends?

Since I mostly just read the lore of my 2 favourite factions Zaun and Piltover, I am probably not that knowledgable about this so here the question:

Are some Runeterran plants mentioned in the lore? To my mind come the ptricite trees and the plants from Ahris color story, but I would like to know if there is more.

I am a biologist myself and botany is my favourite subject, so I am highly interested in any information I can get about the plants of Runeterra. Would love if the lore team could make a big article for this, just like I would like to see the same for animals.

More general question from a fellow lore-hunter: how did you get all this information together, and are you keeping it in records?

The League Wiki could use your knowledge in the form of articles and sections dedicated to world information. With your knowledge, you might also qualify for a pinned Story, Art, and Sound post comprehensively accounting such disparate information as timeline positions or champion relations.

Ok I have some questions based on the 1/6 proportion of the map revealed ! So:

  1. What kind of culture do you think coule emerge from the 5/6 unrevealed ? I mean we have so much factions and races in only 1/6 of Runeterra, there is a few to do without being redondant with this 1/6.

  2. How can Riot explain the fact that we didn't have any interactions with this portion of Runeterra before ? Every factions is linked to each other, directly or not. It's not that hard for people to travel through all of these (Taliyah, Ryze, Kassadin, ect), so how wouldn't it be weird to see appearing a new continent ?

  3. Any thought about the kingdom of the Ruined King ? It is said that it's not located at a place we know right now

Thanks for reading ^^
