Narrative,

I have noticed that you have a map of Valoran. Yet There are still shady Areas. And For the sake of the lore community, some places need to be clarified more and give is an example of what that place is like. Leave Noxus, Demacia, and especially Freljord alone for now. They have had many turns. With this recent Shurima update, I believe some Areas need more ligh as well. GenociderX Ps: Wheres targon?

Everything that you see on Summoner Rift is a part of Kaladoun and the Serpentine River.

The Sea Dragons are creatures that lives in the Guardians Sea, its mentioned on the Fizz Lore.

Bubbling Bog is mentioned once in the Yorick lore...

We have 0 information about Fyrone Flats.

Maybe the guy on the picture of Conqueror Sea is "Well" (A canceled Champ)

Voodo lands is mentioned in the Annie Lore, Maybe cancelled champs like Tiki or Taboo had origins there.

Howling Marsh was changed after the lorerework of Karthus

Shurima... i have never heard of that place

Kumungu and Plague Jungles are... a forest and a jungle... i guess that they dont have many "lore"....

And Yes, Mount Targon is Gargantuan.

outdated map, the institute of war no longer exists.

I believe that Mount Targon = Mount Gargantuan, the big one in the middle of the continent.

I'm pretty sure Valoran isn't the only continent in League, I'm expecting Riot to pull off something like "unexplored or forgotten lands" as a new big content patch in the future for League. But yeah on topic though, some of those places do need some lore and some need updates, also isn't Mount Targon supposed to have been at the very top of Valoran?

I'd think they have update said map but haven't disclosed it just yet, actually if you ask me I think they had very VERY different plans about evolving League of legends than what we know today. In the original client, when you wanted to play a certain map you had to choose an area on the map (the one you uploaded)... it doesn't really makes sense but for some reason I seem to remember that summoner's rift was in the upper side where Freljord is, while Twisted treeline was around in the bubbling bog... it was really really weird because the map you chose would be highlighted in red and the other one would stay in green leaving the rest of the map untouched and you'd wonder if one day the whole map would be complete and judging by the size of the areas it could have hold up around 5 maps more ._.

Perhaps in the beginning they thought about making a map or game mode per area but as the game evolved they realized it wasn't the best choice...?

I Agree though, it'd be very cool if we got more info on runeterra's geography and geology even... I mean if it's a planet of sorts, is there just one big continent? will this be retconned at some point? what are the gains of having just a big Pangea over continents? it's all questions Riot should be trying to answer internally ._. and to us I think the best best would be a full new updated map.

Yeah I agree with that. Personally I am a fan of the vodoo lands.I mean a land full with all kinds of dark magicians sounds pretty badass and could be an interesting faction,but they never got anything aside from annie(and its even more jarring considering that annie is one of the oldest champions)

I hope they get finally rid of this god awful map and get a actually good one done.

Self-plug for my map update: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/bNZpgHHs-valoran-map-update Edits done to the original for climatological reasons and for having human settlements (Noxus, Demacia) in slightly more sensible places.

Yeah, and Teemo takes his mushrooms from that place... but aside from the fact that "is a dangerous place with monsters" we know nothing of the jungles
