Damacia & Noxus are Pre and Post revolution France. respectively
I really like the lore of Runeterra but has anyone noticed
Damacia represent an old aristocracy- gold everywhere, people of great houses are the important ones.everything is for the king. Garen ,Luxanna,Fiora and Vayne are just some members who are from great houses . Even sona was adopted by a great house.Quinn 's story was great because she rose from being a simple village girl. How many other stories are there like that in Damacia. The wealthy elite rule over the poor.
Noxus represents post aristocracy . Leblanc and Katrina are from great houses but there seems to be a lot less than a large society would have. Nothing is valued except strength. This allows all sorts of people to rise to power. Swain rose to power from literally unknown origin. Similar to post revolution France executions are plentiful (draven 's job) and there is a lot of external wars (Napoleonic wars). Most people rise because they are good at what they do warwick,swain,darius,draven,riven.
I have more points but i doubt anyone would read this
So tell be a closed class based society or an open one ? One of gold and one of blood which one is the utopia and which the distopia
