Theory: Yordles are Iverse Muses

Muses are mythological spirits that inspire artists and such; my theory is Yordles are like muses, except they are inspired by others rather than just giving inspiration directly.

Illaoi calls them spirits, touches upon their empathy and suggest they should "inspire those that need it"
Yordles seem to obsess and shape themselves after ideals and cultures; Poppy embodies Demacian ideals; Heimerdinger embodies Piltover ideals, for example.

That's about it. What do you think?

Would actually work for most of them. Interesting... Demacia with her rightousness and honor Piltover with his high intellect and ingenuity Zaun with their questionable use of science and disregard of safety The Glade with her crazy magic Noxus with his lust for power and authority Kumunge Jungle with his Scout-persona and use of poison Freljord with his primal strength and old "age" (even if he only is a Yordle Ancestor) Ionia with his mastery of Energy and channel of Lightning Bandle City with their focus on modernized weaponry and skill

Amumu Shurima with his mysterious and ancient origins (maybe not a Yordle though)

Actually very interesting. Might not make sense in all, but at given points it would make them very interesting. Even though I think Poppy and Heim case is determined by them leaving Bundle City, assimilating new cultures. Other Yordles do not seem to be matching this.
