How about we talk about Locations(not just champions)

I feel like, if we're just going to talk about champions all the time, we're sticking to the Marketing strategy for Riot.

Lets talk about the Core Concepts of Locations. Let's take Piltover for example; http://40.media.tumblr.com/2aae75d47d1163fff9bc3835d97ef7fd/tumblr_myog5fkOux1rcm3hko1_1280.jpg Piltover is suppose to be a peaceful place that feel like Science can help Valoran progress. Low crime rates, cool technology, steam punk fashion, and nice people. The community is generally friendly and smart. It's broken down to scientist, inventors, and...steam punks apparently. It's an ideal place for a lot of people to live in Valoran. I mean it's was peaceful until JinxJinx arrived. I'm sure the SheriffCaitlyn of Piltover has plans for that to cease.

http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100917002524/leagueoflegends/images/1/11/Noxus.jpg Or let's look at Noxus. A strong military minded country with a hunger to conquer. To others they seem evil, however it's a different case. The community may seem very sketchy. You have your nobles, militia, and the High Command. Then you have your darker people who reside in the depth's of Noxus. Which is surprisingly a sprawling labyrinth. The people who live hear yearn for glory in war. If you're war hungry this is your ideal place. Even champs like SionSion inspire people.

Talking about champions is fine. But to say you are only going to focus on core concepts of champions sounds really boring. There's a whole world of League of Legends and you only want to center a few people? Come on now. I would love to hear more about Bilgewater or the Shadow Isles. Or maybe you can finally tell us about the VooDoo lands. Like what is that place?? A lot of Southern Valoran we don't know about. Less about the border which would be where Mount Targon is. What exactly did the Rakkor go to war with in order for them to be the way they are? Why did the Solari betray the Lunari?

Come on Narrative. These are actually some good pieces(as you would put it) to expand on. It would certainly make a lot of people happy. I for one was excited when I seen the new images of Shurima and Ionia on that Dev Blog last year. I really thought you were going to expand the world..... Please take consideration in this. Actually listening to the community instead of worrying about stealing Ideas. Ionia is one of my favorite places, I would love to hear more about the kinkou order or the order of the Shadow. Not just the a few people

True nations (ones that can be listed as countries since they have more than one settlement in their borders): Also can make an Avatar thing:

  1. Demacian Kingdom (a.k.a. Earth Kingdom)
  2. Noxian Empire (a.k.a. Fire Nation)
  3. Ionia (Ionian Eldership) (a.k.a. Air Nomads)
  4. Bilgewater Union (a.k.a. Southern Water Tribe)

Non centralized nations (ones that are countries, but are do not have a unified state recognized by all):

  1. Freljord (Avarosan Freljord) (a.k.a. Northern Water Tribe)
  2. Shurima (Shuriman Empire) (a.k.a. Sun Warrior Empire)
  3. Mount Targon (Solari)

City-states (city nations, possibly located inside one of the true nations):

  1. Piltover City (Demacian free City of Piltover) (a.k.a. Republic City & Zaofu)
  2. Zaun City (Noxian free City of Zaun) (a.k.a. Republic City)
  3. Bandle City (or Bandle Republic)

Anomalies:

  1. Shadow Isles
  2. Urtristan
  3. Icathia

Dude, honestly, it's too much to look at EVERYTHING. How about we stick to something more...basic.

Pick one region, and let's analyze it.

I, for one, would like to analyze Demacia. Break EVERYTHING down, and examine each piece in detail. Noxus would be next, of course.

Also I cant feel but to think that the new map of Runeterra will look awfully like the Everquest map http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad260/SFF2000/eqn-map_zps891f1b77.png

During my time editing all the wiki pages, I have noticed that in Rek Sais lore thing Noxus is referred to as "Empire", which may indicate that its "The Empire of Noxus" now, and Demacia is "The Kingdom of Demacia" (because constitutional monarchy). Also Shurima shares boarders with Demacia and Noxus in the new lore, also the southern Jungles (Kumingu and Plague Jungles?) are in the new canon.

Also there is a common mantra said by some of Noxian citizens: "The lifeblood of the empire is our bureaucracy."
