Help! Where do these Champions go?

XLNC Jake Kelton·5/12/2018, 7:39:09 PM·3 votes·4,124 views

For a fun project I am working on, I'm dividing all the champions up based on region/faction. Riot has already divided on their universe site 115 of the champions, but there is a bunch missing. 25 to be exact. I'd love your help/suggestions on where these 25 should go! Just pick one or two and give your thoughts on what faction they most likely would join. It would be a HUGE help.

The Heros: Aatrox, Alistar, Annie, Bard, Brand, Evelynn, Fiddlesticks, Fizz, Gnar, Gragas, Ivern, Jax, Kayle, Kindred, Malphite, Morgana, Nami, Nidalee, Nocturne, Rengar, Ryze, Shaco, Tahm Kench, Zilean, and Zyra

The Regions/Factions: Ionia, Void, Noxus, Mount Targon, Demacia, Zaun, Piltover, Shadow Isles, Shurima, Bilgewater, Freljord, Bandle City

I know helpful things can be found in their lore, but officially, none of these champs have a region. If you feel like giving a suggestion for each that would be awesome, but I understand time (and attention) are limited. Thanks for any help/recommendations!

EDIT: I am completely aware that all these champions are factionless. But for the project, it helps a ton to give them all factions, or at least most of them. Thanks for all the amazing responses!

Like DimPack said, some Champions are factionless, though some are known to live in or around the domains of certain factions. (Although, of the three he mentioned, only Rengar is a Vastaya)

Aatrox - Unaligned, vagabond Alistar - Unaligned, formerly Noxian slave/competitor in the Fleshing Annie - Unaligned, vagabond, former Noxian citizen Bard - Unaligned, vagabond, caretaker of some unknowable cosmic balance Brand - Unaligned, notably a chaotic fire spirit/demon in the Freljord, current host body was a Freljordian marauder Evelynn - Unaligned, vagabond, demon Fiddlesticks - Unaligned, unknown Fizz - Water-Yordles, lingers around Bilgewater Gnar - Prehistoric Yordles, vagabond Gragas - Unaligned, home unknown, but he wanders around the Freljord Ivern - Unaligned, vagabond, former Freljordian marauder, also former Ionian tree Jax - Icathian, vagabond Kayle - Do not bother with her for now. She and her sister Morgana need major updates. Kindred - Unaligned, vagabond, they're pretty much Runeterra's Grim Reaper. Malphite - Unaligned, vagabond, probably going to get future lore updates since, like Kayle and Morgana (and formerly Taric), cross-dimensional/extraplanetary shenanigans aren't great stories Morgana - See Kayle Nami - Marai Vastaya, vagabond, lives close to Mount Targon Nidalee - Unaligned, lives in the Kumungu Jungle, grew up to become a shapeshifter Nocturne - Unaligned, vagabond, demon Rengar - Kiilash Vastaya, vagabond, his people live on the fringes of Shurima Ryze - Unaligned, vagabond, potentially predates the Rune Wars Shaco - Unaligned, vagabond, supposed demon, stated as a "marionette corrupted by dark magics" Tahm Kench - Unaligned, vagabond, demon Zilean - Icathian, vagabond Zyra - Unaligned, vagabond, formerly a carnivorous plant from the Kumungu Jungle

Well not all the champions have a "Faction", some of them are independent... but if you MUST pick a faction (of the list) for them:

Aatrox = Freljord, due his strong connection with Tryndamere. Alistar = He needs a new lore... but for now? Noxus since the Noxian map shows Minotaurs and his old lore is connected to them Annie = Noxus Bard = Ionia or Targon Brand = Freljord, since Kegan Rodhe (the Human owner of the Body) is from Freljord Evelynn = Shadow Isles... i guess... Sure, she doesnt have a strong connection with that place now, but im pretty sure that the Altars of TT still talk to her. Fiddlesticks = ... This one im not sure... but i guess that spooky shadow isles is a good place. Fizz = Bilgewater or Bandle City, since he is a yordle now... Gnar = This one can be from Bandle City... or Freljord i guess or even Shurima (-see Nidalee). Gragas = Freljord, he uses true ice for his beer... seriously. Ivern = Ionia(He got his powers there) or Freljord(He born there) Jax = Shurima... or "Void" since he lived in Icathia (and Icathia is a place of Shurima). Kayle = Uhh... for now? Demacia Kindred = Technically, it is true neutral... but if you MUST pick a place... i guess that Ionia or Targon could be... okay Malphite = Not sure... Targon because he is a mountain? Morgana = Noxus, but she and Kayle need updates to the lore Nami = Targon (since the moonstone should be there) or Bilgewater for the same reasons of Fizz... they have water powers. Nidalee = Another one that is hard since you didnt include the Jungle... So, Shurima i guess? since Kumungu should be part of Shurima as far as i remember. Nocturne = Demacia (he was trapped there) or the Shadow Isles... because spooky shadows Rengar = Shurima, Same reasons as Nidalee and he was born in that place. Ryze = Another neutral dude like Kindred... But i think that he lived near Icathia... and Icathia is part of Shurima... so... Shurima? Shaco = Shadow Isles, like Fiddlesticks, just because he is "spooky". Tahm Kench = Bilgewater Zilean = Shurima... Shurima is a big place... and Uristan/Icathia is part of Shurima Zyra = Same as Nidalee

Well, to start:

  • Annie lives in the woods near Noxus.
  • Fizz lives in the seas around Bilgewater.
  • Gnar was originally discovered in the Freljord.
  • Ivern was once a Freljordian warrior before he became the happy tree-man we know today.
  • Jax is from Icathia, the place that got destroyed by the Void.
  • Nami lives in the ocean bordering Mount Targon.
  • Tahm Kench got his name from a Bilgewater gambler.
  • Zilean is also from ancient Icathia.

I can't help you with the rest. Also, even the champs I listed don't have a region. This is just the closest you could put them to.

Not all champions belong to a faction. Nidalee, Rengar, and Zyra are vastayans, I think.

None of those champions are really affiliated with any faction, but I can help with some geographical information.

Aatrox is all over the place, but his most recent battle was most likely in Freljord with Tryndamere Alistar used to fight as Noxian gladiator Annie is living in Noxus Brand was from Freljord before he got consumed by the world rune Fizz is living near Bilgewater Gnar was frozen in true ice, most likely from Freljord; he's currently living in a jungle according to his color story though Gragas is currently looking for ingredients in Freljord Ivern used to be a Freljordian warrior, but transformed in Ionia Jax is from Icathia, which used to be under Shuriman rule Nami's race lives near Mount Targon Nocturne was last seen near the Demacian town of Fossbarrow, but if he is like the other demons that has no meaning at all Rengar's tribe is from east Shurima Zilean is from Icathia (same as Jax)

Hope that helps
