Once the Noxus Lore stuff is done who's next? (please be Bandle city)

I'm wondering what Riot's lore team is going to cover after Noxus and swain is done. I'm really hoping for Bandle City seeing how Yordles have gotten basically no love since the lore changes so long ago. (i know they get things here and there but nothing nearly substantial compared to most champions) I mean we still don't even know what Bandle city might even look like and most of the new lore we have had to piece together with the smaller stuff. like how Yordles are magic now, how they live for basically eons, and how they basically can't be perceived by some people and junk (which usually gets changed around from lore to lore and isn't concrete. I mean how in Poppy's lore she is perceived as a human even though she likely has no glamour yet Heim and Ziggs needed a Glamour potion.) tbh Yordle lore has been the most inconsistent of most lore. It bugs me a bit that the world of Runeterra went from a cool Magic is just the norm kind of deal. to now magic creatures and magic, in general, seems to be something odd and scary. (I liked the idea of Yordles walking around and being acknowledged as what they are instead of being perceived as something else :C)

I know Irelia and Akali are coming up on the Champion rework list so likely Ionia is getting love next so oh well I guess for yordles. What do you guys think will be the next region to get some Lore love

Hopefully some void stuff.

Given the information we have the next possibility would be a void update(since we are getting a void champ after Swain) and after that it is possible that we'll get an ionia update.

They did mention that this year they want to focus on more smaller faction updates instead of giving us a few big ones(for comparison,the noxus update only gave us 4 bios,1 color story and 1 additional story,while the piltover update,the smallest faction update of last season,gave us 5 bios,5 color stories and an additonal story),so I do hope that we'll get both updates.

Heck Ionia might get 2 small updates,as we're later also getting Akali(and they did mention that they want to revisit Noxus this year already,so its not unlikely for ionia to get 2 updates as well).

And well Aatrox might get a lore update with his GU(hopefully this comes with a bit more darkin lore) and later on we'll likely get a Nunu VGU that could come with a small freljord update.

Sadly this would mean that Bandle city is the only main faction that still didn't have a lore update and that isn't really likely to get one this year. So all we can do is hope that we'll finally get a new bandle champ this year or they simply update the lore of them without a big release,similar to how they did it with Annie and Varus

After Ionia with Akali and Irelia, next up is the Freljord with Nunu....after that who knows, it might be Bandle City with Corki but those are plans beyond this year, so they are subject to change.
