Thanks to Surrender at 20 for adding a paste bin for it. There are many new lore trivia (and tips) that they added and touched up on trivia at the start of the game. Some we already know but some are quite new:

"Many Voidborn have names originating from the ancient Shuriman language." More connection between the Void and Shurima

"Sai Kahleek is one of Shurima's most feared deserts, as it is populated by the ravenous Xer'Sai." We now know the name to where the Xer'Sai lives

"Basilisks of the Kumungu are sometimes raised from eggs as Noxian war beasts." Interesting tidbit here. Would love to see art for this.

"The Incognium Runeterra in Piltover is said to be able to locate anyone in Runeterra, yet its creator mysteriously died before revealing the formula that powers it, leaving it inoperable." I don't know if this is new or not but it sounds really awesome. More backstory please!

"In the Shuriman city of Nashramae, a festival is held celebrating Rammus. Thousands gather to roll and somersault around the city in his honor." I wanna visit this festival!

"The Shuriman city of Zuretta is ruled by Hierophant Hadiya Nejem, who believes herself to be a descendant of the Ascended warrior Setaka." This is very new. We only know Setaka from as Sivir's weapon is from her. But this new character Hadiya believing that she's ascended from Setaka could create backlash between her and Sivir. I want to see her more in the future, maybe even a new champion?

"In Shurima, those who survived a failed Ascension ritual are known as the Baccai, who often are twisted and malformed." We don't know any 'Baccai' right now. A new coming lore character soon?

There are many more lore bits in the pastebin so feel free to look at them. Again thanks to the people in Surrender at 20 for creating a pastebin for it!

The bit about the Baccai really interests me.

When Cassio got a new background a lot of people questioned why she was cursed with something that resembles the ascended,but what if her form is actually meant to resemble a Baccai?(Of course she isn't one,as she wasn't transformed by the sun disc,I'm just saying that the curse is meant to imitate a Baccai)

Rammus Celebration Rolling Festival?

You mean, like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtvG9XDtjv4

We already have a variation of that...

If anyone's got any questions I might be able to answer, considering I wrote the narrative tips.

Interesting that there are enough survivors of failed Ascensions that they have their own name.

Incognium Runeterra was mentioned in some of the Piltover lore as a mysterious machine with a missing inventor. Awesome to know what it does now. Ezreal do your thing.

EDIT. Here's are some more cool ones:

Some Shuriman nomads have created entire towns upon the backs of the Dormun; enormous, armor-plated beasts that wander the wastes.

Why do we not have art of this?

Rumble's mech is named ''Tristy,'' in honor of a yordle who is very important to him.

It's canon!

"Before becoming an Ice Witch, Lissandra was permanently blinded by an Ursine's claws."

that could have been the work of Volibear

So just noticed something.

Over time we've had name drops for possible gods who all seem to have really unimaginative titles. Eg. • The Bearded Lady: Serpent Isles in origin. • The Veiled Lady: Demacian in origin. • The Grey Lady: Zaun/Piltover in origin. • The Pale Lady: Noxian in origin

I could be mistaken about that last one, it might be a title for LeBlanc rather than an actually worshiped deity. But hey maybe LB is like the Outsider from Dishonored?

Anyway, maybe we'll learn of The Celestial Gentleman sometime? /s

Will we get to know more of Hadiya Najem? Coming from out of no where she is an interesting character to the list of Shurimans. Does she know about Sivir and her weapon as well?
