I've been eating up the new lore and pouring over the new map so I figured I'd share what I've found so far. Feel free to add to the discussion.

Oooh, this is quite good. You caught a few things in there that I've not seen others mention yet. Pretty darn close to 100% on most things :D

So happy you're enjoying the new Piltover content!

Yeeeees? Is that a question? A way to get my attention? A yoyo with a stutter?

Makes me pretty happy to hear you say it. I love how you guys don't make everything obvious. The best stories are the ones that require you to dig a bit.

Is the intent behind these new countries that Riot wants new champions from these areas, or is it just for world building?

Both reasons actually. All of the new places are ether part of Noxus, or currently Independent City-states.

Glorft was conquered by Noxus, Kled mentions the taking over the city in his quotes. Same with Qualthola, while Krexor has a Steward as its ruler, just like the rest of the occupied Noxian cities..

You may notice that "Freljord" is indicating a traderoute by sea, rather than a direction. Considering Freljord is colder the route is likely to curve north and may even lead completely around Demacia.

But the interesting part here is that they indicate the western route, which goes straight across for a long stretch rather than the east route which turns north much earlier. This indicates that the west route is shorter, meaning as you said that Freljorth is somewehre northwest.

That's exactly what I thought too but you did a better job explaining it.

I can't believe that thread is already two years old, but it might interest you:

Soooo, anyone else curious about the note on the right side of the map about men/women with purple feet? A lot of the stuff here is just trade details or maps, but that note seems... strange and makes me very curious.

RandomoniumDec 8, 20161 votes

Pretty sure they're talking about Yordles. I might be wrong though.

Zok72Dec 9, 20161 votes

Do yordles have purple feet? I mean, other than Lulu.

All the females do (see dragon trainer Tristana.) Not sure about the males since they're so hairy.
