Piltover Map: Varus' village referenced.

Piltover

In Varus' original lore, his village was unnamed, just known to have been the location where the ancient corruption was held.

Most people wouldn't recognize the name, Pallas, unless they read his Journal of Justice entry, in which it the thing that held the corruption was known as a 'Pit of Pallas.'I was quite hoping the village to be eventually named Pallas tbh as it sounded fitting. In Varus' lore, Pallas was destroyed by the Noxians while he was defending the temple that held the corruption. In the ensuing chaos everyone in the village was slaughtered, including his wife and child. This is what fueled Varus to become blighted by the corruption in his desire to kill every Noxian associated with his village's destruction.

I'm glad that Varus was mentioned in this map to be honest. I am also desperately waiting for your reveal to his new narrative, Jaredan. Because if even you get excited chills about it, then I know for sure you and the foundations team has something big planned for him.

Just realised that Kalamanda is on that map too. The Dominion lore was one of my favourites, so I'm glad that's there :O

Very interesting! I thought Kalamanda got removed from the lol lore (since Skarner got moved to Shurima, without any mention of Kalamanda in his new lore). I wonder what they are going to do with it...I hope they will keep its connection with the brackerns, like maybe make it a city that develops around the life stones from the brackerns.

I'd take a look at some of the map details and pictures around Kalamanda, and see if anything jumps out at you. From lore both old and new :)

Sing-stone :'(. But i don't know wht Arathmae feels like a name i've heard before...

@Bioluminescence Sorry to hijack this, but is there an ETA for the rest of the Piltover/Zaun lore ? Shoud we expect it sometimes this week, or at the beginning of 2017 ?

Arathmae is probably not a name you'd recognize - but maybe the Councilman rings a bell?

And I suspect there'll be a little bit of a gap before the next stuff hits.

Oh damn. This was in my first JoJ entry. Hmmm, so we can expect Zaun to get involved in the whole "mining". Or just the Medarda having the monopole... So much easter eggs :D

Ok thanks ! Can't wait for some Mundo poetry :D

So why is one of the Ionian villages crossed out?
