@Riot, Any Lore Fun Facts?

Ironclad Dragon··17 votes·3,596 views

Your worldbuilding team is doing Bard's work (see what I did there?), and I love the depth of detail that's been put into Bilgewater which I hope to see continue. You've released blogs detailing some of the work that goes into making these events, and for that, I should be content.

But I hunger for more. There's no point in trying to wring out of you information regarding your plans for the lore or that of upcoming champions (though I will admit, I am surprised that you decided to reveal Illaoi as much as you have in Shadow and Fortune, for that I applaud you). But I hope you're more willing to parcel out a morsel or two. See, I got hungers that ain't easily fed. All that hard work, cloistered in your offices and computers, we'll never see the breadth of it all. So I need Rioters to let me, erm, what I mean is, uh, are there any fun facts about the lore you're willing to share? Little things, like whether the Serpentine River is considered a mighty river by Valoran standards. Surely such minute details, so inconsequential to your pursuit of realizing Runeterra and yet so tantalizing to us humble readers, would't hurt to be known to us... you can trust me, right?

The Serpentine River is pretty substantial, and it flows among the Serpent Isles. It's expansive enough to have been traveled along by a nomadic tribe for several generations (not that it took them that long to journey from end to end). From those people, came a fellow with a penchant for nice hats and and a flair for card magic.

In the last 3 years you have expanded and drastically changed Runeterra. Can we PLEASE get a map of it as it is now? Old one is outdated and missing many places you reference nowadays. :)

Wait now I'm confused by a couple of things.

Is the Serpent Isles just another name/the new name for the Blue Flame Isles?

Also how does a river flow through multiple islands? I know there's scenes of Bilgewater with oceanic waterfalls but I'm still baffled by the geography here.
