questions about yordles

I think that the new yordle lore is good, but quite short. I thought it would be a bigger update, as for the darkins, I'm a little disappointed ... we have not learned anything really new about yordles and bandle, so i would like to ask some questions to riot: if yordles are spirits, why are they all alike? Were they animals of the material world which entered the world of spirits? -Why does bandle have a landscape and houses if it belongs to the spirit world? did yordles adapt it to live there? -Where do their familiars(yuumi) come from?" Are they spirits?

how do yordles adapt to their environment (gnar, fizz ...), in the material world? -Why is bandle apart in the spirit world? thank you for responding if you have any ideas

Only a Rioter can truely answer all these question but you have to think a little less literal when it comes to 'spirits'. For example, Illaoi consider's Bard, Anivia and Kindred as spirits but while they might be magic they are all different 'forms' of what she would consider a spirit. Spirit just means magical being and in a way (as she was created before Vastayan's were a thing) she might even consider Vastayan's as spirits.

The spirit realm is a realm overflowing with magic. Yordles are born of that magic but that doesn't mean they or the realm they reside in is formless. Sadly the simplest answer to all your points is, "it's magic".

Actually, the IP Communications Strategist (aka, person who announces new lore-based content) confirmed a few weeks ago that the "Bandle City LU" was going to be very small scale. Granted it was confirmed via Twitter and not anything official afaik. But it was made public and to all those disappointed this wasn't a larger update today, it was never intended to be a big thing and it's not like Riot ever suggested it might.

Not to mention, all lore updates post- Swain's rework have been very small scale. Usually like two bio updates and just one long-ish story. That's just the new distribution of lore updates from here on out, unless of an exception.
