Demacia: very good-guy coded visually, lots of white stone and gold and blue. However they are extremely xenophobic as a society, especially towards nonhumans, and are very anti-mage. They value jusice, honor and duty but don't always hit those ideals in a way that is equal amongst everyone. They have a LOT of conflict history with Noxus. Noxus: bad-guy coded visually but they're about power/standing via strength. Noxian ideals are that anyone can rise to the top if they are strong enough. Unfortunately they try to spread these ideals to other places via war and conquest. It is everyone's idea of a bad time to see Noxus approaching, and many places simply surrender and become colonies of Noxus influence in order to avoid bloodshed. Noxus holds significant territories in Ionia and Shurima. Freljord: very viking/norse design. Life is a struggle in the cold environment, and there are a few separate factions of people within this area with a lot of history of both conflict and unity. They are fiercely independent and hold their unforgiving land against all interlopers, and have conflicts with both Noxus and Demacia, as well as their own infighting. Targon: Home to an extremely spartan society of people who train both in combat and philosophy. The Solari (sun folks) believe in the supremacy of the Sun as a celestial figure. The current chosen/avatar of the Sun is Leona (gold armor). Diana (spooky moon lady) recently rediscovered and revived the beliefs of the Lunari (moon folks) who were framed as heretics for believing the moon deserved an equal place as a figure of power. And yes, they are canonically gay. Star-crossed forbidden lovers situation. Ionia: sort of a catch-all eastern aesthetic. Their ideals are based heavily in balance and respect for the spirits they share the land with. While they are not a warlike people, they have been the biggest thorn in Noxus's side historically with regards to expansion, because their determination and connection to the land repels their efforts. This is also where many Vastaya like Lest from Arcane come from. Bilgewater: a pirate port and neutral space where people from all the other areas can come and go, but has its own inner conflicts. It's a balance of opportunity and risk. People with a criminal past can exist in relative safety (from the law at least, not each other) here to start fresh. Shadow Isle: probably the closest to a source of Actual Evil. It's a place cursed to drain the life of all who set foot there, and it's haunted by the spirits of the dead. It's also the source of the "Harrowing" when the Ruined King there sends out waves of his influence across the world, endangering people even outside the Shadow Isles. Shurima: While we didn't see a video for Shurima, this is where the folks from the shadow isles video are from. It's a desert, and has very Egyptian aesthetics - this is also where the Medarda family is implied to originally be from. Bandle City: the home of the yordles, a hidden place that only they can freely access. Very fairy/spirit realm, separate from the physical world. Yordles travel to Runeterra from Bandle City looking for adventure. It seems there's no hard and fast rule for what a yordle looks like - mostly just that they're small and (for the most part) a little fuzzy, though there are some who aren't and may appear more fish-like.
You forgot Ixtal, but that's understandable. It is the least developed, lore wise. Ixtal: jungle aesthetic, extremely isolationist, specialize in elemental magic
Don't forget the Void: A realm of darkness and anti-life. Home of the Watchers whose only goal is to snuff out all existence. They have ways of influencing events on Runeterra by sending dark magical whispers into the mind of different folks. The Darkin are a group of evil entities that were originally Shuriman warriors that were ascended by celestial magic but became corrupted by the Void and driven insane to the point that the war they fought between themselves nearly destroyed Runeterra. Also, Icathia, a small kingdom on the southern part of Shurima. It originally was part of the Shuriman Empire, but then tried to break away, which caused a smaller war. Icathia knew that they couldn't defeat the Shuriman forces, so they ignorantly open a rift to the Void hoping to used it against them. However, the Void started attacking and destroying everyone and everything. In a attempt to stop the carnage, a time mage named Zilean used his magic to remove his whole city out of sync with the normal flow of time and kinda stopped the spread of the Voidborn. Technically, the rift is still open, but time at the rift is frozen to a complete standstill. It was this conflict where the Darkin were infected by the Void. p.s. There is some speculation that Shimmer is somehow connected to the Void. Last but not least, Camavor is a continent even further east than Ionia. It is yet to be added to the official map, but several Champions, including the Ruined King of the Shadow Isles himself Viego are originally from there. It's geography was shown in the Harrowing book.
@@artxroyalty You're very welcome! The follow-up comments from other users also filled in a couple things I forgot about. You probably heard about the Void in a couple comments related to Arcane, as a lot of folks thought that might be the relation to why the actual Arcane/hexcore got so weird, and that shimmer may also be somehow connected to that realm. Additionally, as far as Arcane goes we're right on a cusp of a major conflict between Noxus and Ionia, timeline-wise. I suspect this is what we might be seeing in the next series, but we won't know until it's here! Looking forward to seeing what you get out of the other cinematics! A lot of the more recent ones are more lore-focused and show snippets of canon moments/interactions. I hope you enjoy getting deeper into this universe!
I think the people from the Shadow Isles video are part of the Buhru actually (ie Illaoi's people). Not from Shurima. The Buhru inhabit the Serpent Isles, which is where Bilgewater is located. Also, I wouldnt' say Demacia is xenophobic but rather isolationist. Poppy (a Yordle), Xin Zhao and Sona (Ionian) are well accepted and there's even mentions of Minotaur's serving alongside Garen in the Vanguard.
@@Jukettaja I remember him saying it in an interview but I didn’t know who Braum was at the time. So cool that they brought some of these voice actors back for the show!
Interestingly, the portraits in Caitlyn's study seem to imply that her mother was maybe a quarter or eighth Ionian as well. The oldest is of a woman with a bow instead of a rifle and some ships, all of which look Ionian, making it appear the Kirammans originally sailed to Piltover from there, married with locals for a couple generations, then Cassandra met a nice young man from back in their ancestral homeland
Knew you'd catch the vibes between Diana and Leona. Yes, they are lovers to enemies (enemies by circumstance rather than actually hating each other though).
The number one reason I want the next series set in Ionia is just to see Fortiche go to town on that environment. I mean, come on, the visuals would be *ridiculousssss*.
YAY these are what I was waiting for. There are so many great cinematics and music videos, but if you're looking for a more basic understanding of the world an the lore, the Tales of Runeterra series is the perfect place to start.
A couple of things to comment Yes, twisted fate and graves are confirmed as a canon couple, there's even official pride art of them in league and a short story about them. Also the Solari and Lunari Leona and Diana from those shorts at some points they were almost a couple since both were in love with each other so you were right there with the shipping haha. Counting all of them and cait with vi with other 3 or 4 champions they are the ones that are either gay or bi in universe, out of the almost 170 that exist. There's a scrapped storyline of Jinx in Bilgewaters that was going to be part of Arcane at some point so there's a lot of theories she might be there, after all it has a similar vibe to Zaun but with pirates. Bandle City is where Yordles come from, it's a place that exists in another realm and through portals they can go to Runeterra, canonically Yordles can't die so technically Heimerdinger could've easily respawned there after his last appearence in arcane, as a fun fact there's a really depressed yordle called Vex that is always sad because she knows she will never die. About Katarina you don't see much of her nowadays, she was the first poster child of league that's why she was in a lot of old cinematics but the moment jinx became more and more relevant she got replaced by her, I'm not joking. But she's still iconic, if the next series is in noxus I bet we'll see her without a doubt.
Yep Katarina was one of the original champions when League first came out and was super popular early on but you don't see much of her anymore. She might have had some backstory with Garen but I don't remember.
Didn't know that TF and Graves were a couple, though it doesn't surprise me - those two are like attached by the hip. If you see one of them then you know the other isn't far away.
There's an official short story on the Riot website where Leona and Diana basically have a popular jock valedictorian/awkward goth outcast romance in Solari Catholic girls high school, then magic stuff happens just before they can actually get together at prom and they become basically demigods of opposing divine forces, leading Diana to run off to join the Lunari while Leona stays to be the protector of the Solari And there's an ongoing plotline where for thousands of years it's been believed that the sun and moon are enemies, and the sun is truth and good while the moon is deception and bad... but some people are saying maybe they're wrong? Maybe they're two halves of the same whole and need to be reunited, perhaps by some sort of star-crossed lovers situation??
Funny story about Lux: She and Jinx have no canon interactions in the main League story but are very close in at least 1 of Riot's alternate skin/cinematic universes, which is where most of that shipping started In the main League canon though, there are a few flirty-ish interactions between Lux and a guy named Ezreal, and in yet another alternate universe skinline, Ezreal and EKKO are actually a canon couple. So I doubt it would ever happen, but if all of them end up in some kind of messy cute polyamorous foursome, I'd be pretty okay with that lol
@artxroyalty Canonically, Ekko & Ezreal aren't a couple. Ezreal loves women/adventures & Ekko loves Zaun/science. They have no interactions in the main story. There are two female champions that likes Ekko, Rell & Taliyah. Also, Lux don't have feelings for Ezreal. Ezreal likes her more than she likes him. Her dialogue is even: "Are we supposed to be dating or something? We've never even talked."
@bwslayer926 Actually, if I remember right, there's an entire short story about Ekko and Ezreal working as partners in the Pulsefire universe, which the author later tweeted about, basically saying Riot wanted him to subtly imply romantic feelings without explicitly stating them because they didn't want to risk damaging their sales in countries like China, where including a single canon queer character in a game or film or whatever can sometimes raise its rating to mature/explicit immediately
@aranthur Okay. That's a pretty odd choice to make these two a couple given that they are straight in the canon lore and aren't too fond of each other based their audio interactions.
If you would like to read the confirmations for the couples (TF and Graves, Leona and Diana) check the League universe page and search for the short stories "The Boys and Bombolini" and "Rise with me" . The Targon clip hits completely different knowing the backstory of Leona and Diana. If they had made other decisions they could have been united like the couple in the video despite being from opposing factions. It is Romeo and Juliet really... For some of these videos you could have a bigger experience with a little preparation. No critic at all ! I get that this means spending more time with the content. Of course the videos also work as stand alone. 😉 Glad you enjoy the different regions. Runeterra has so much to offer...🤩 I really hope they will continue exploring this world further despite Arcane seemingly not being a financial success (atm). They stated they are not focused on a short lived financial success, but are aiming for a much bigger goal in the long term. I put all my hope on this.. 🧡
Lux is from Demacia! She's one of my favorite characters. As someone who ships both Lux/Jinx and Jinx/Ekko its so annoying to see the shippers brawling on twitter esp because Lux would be SUCH a fan of the Firelights. Lux is a mage with light powers who is forced to keep her abilities as a mage secret to preserve her family's status and her own freedom. Her older brother is Garen, the buff guy from the Demacia video. Her and Garen were born to the renowned Crownguard family, which has served for generations as protectors of the kings of Demacia. Lux is a resilient optimist who seeks to help guide Demacia through her pacifict ways to her vision of the beautiful place it could be. She even founded a refuge for mages.
@@marzley omg I’ve been hearing sooo much about Lux and I’ve definitely seen the shipping wars as a lover of timebomb lol! From what I’ve heard of Lux tho…even though I’m not as familiar with her she seems pretty dope, I feel once I learn more I’ll definitely be shipping lightcanon as well!
@@artxroyalty The shipping mainly comes from an alternate universe - skinline with its own story, Star Guardians, which is where an alternate version of Lux and Jinx meet and interact etc.
@@artxroyalty If I'm remebering right, I believe the Solari have old ties to Shurima, and Ambessa's backstory implies the Medardas have mixed Noxian and Shuriman ancestry
@aranthur To be honest, it is not explicitly said, but implied that all black people on Runeterra are at least descendent from Shurima(Africa) while east Asian looking people are from Ionia, the Buhru of the Serpentine Isles, where bilgewater is located, are Pacific Islander coded. Noxus and Demacia are a cross of Greek and Roman mixed with British tones. Demacia is Greek with a medieval King Arthur flair, while Noxus is more Roman and expansionist 18 and 19 century Britain. The Freljord is Norse, and Mount Targon is Olympus!
13:00 Freljord is one the best Runeterra's region. Great champions, lore and very important for the main LOL lore, I'm very excited for when animate them
still holding out hope that one day we'll see Jinx rolling up to Bilgewater at some point in the future. in my mind Jinx would be so much happier there.
@@artxroyalty I actually think the next show should be Demacia with some Targon backstory tied in, but that Jinx should show up in Demacia in the series finale. She should be coming from Bilgewater, and that is when her & Lux should meet up. I don't ship those two, I like them better as girl bffs. I think Jinx's adventure in Bilgewater should be a movie, a actual release in theaters. It should take place after the events of the Ruined King game and at some point Jinx should be tested be Illoai.
Dont know if anyone has said this yet but fun fact an earlier draft of arcane had powder go to bilgewater post ep3 during the time skip and that was where she'd learn to really be jinx, she was supposed to go with those 2 traders we see in ep 1
Something that i really love about yordles Is that the yordles who live in different Places un runeterra adapt to become caricatures of the places they inhabit, that's how you get a gangster like Smeech, or a crazy inventor like heimmer
9:11 No but she exist as a card in Riots digital card game, Legeneds of Runeterra (or LoR), and the big guy to. The apprentice from the Piltover & Zaun animation is another example of this.
"It's giving Egyptian, but without the melanin" Please Visit Egypt and then revisit that statement. You will find Egypt very mixed, but generally lacking melanin :D
Ikr just because Egypt is from Africa doesn't mean everyone from that continent looks the same Also they're not even from shurima they're from bilgewater
So if you want to get more lore based on regions i highly recommend watching the video titled "riot mmo: the world is already done" by netcrit. I really hope you watch the video cause it goes a bit deeper than these animations and give you a very good surface based info about each region. Also about aonia, every character in league that are either east asian in design or a furry means they are from ionia or their parents 😅 Same thing with characters with darker skin, most are from shurima. For ex mel's family from arcane may live in noxus but they are originally from shurima and you can see it in their design with a lot of gold (shurima's color is gold like noxus color is red).
The Mel Medarda flashback in S1e8 hits different once you've seen that Noxus cinematic. They fleshed out Noxian culture a lot better in season 2, but before it came out, there were a lot of little nods to the lore in what little we got at the end of season 1
This is prob so late but the shadow isles used to be a nice place where magical artifacts were studied and then there was a nasty magical disaster there and now it's all nasty ghosts. I kinda like that about the world of runeterra, every region is kinda defined by their relationship to magic and often how extremely dangerous it is Besides the shadow isles and what happened with Viktor, you've got shurima which was a giant Egyptian type empire that was destroyed by their own magic, demacia was founded by people trying to hide from mage wars and now theyre like anti magic bigots, noxus is built on top of a prison for a super dangerous revenant and they love experimenting with dangerous magic, etc
Not sure if it’s in the playlist you’re going through, but the Legends of Runeterra music video, Breathe, is breathtaking, no pun intended. Beautiful song and heavily features Darius along with some other champions. Hope you check it out!
in the targon video, i believe the guy is voiced by arcane jayces voice actor Kevin Alejandro. I havent seen anything to confirm this but it sounds too similar to not be.
The fact that you said "Is something wrong with me cause why did my brain immediately go like, I ship it." LIKE YES THEY ARE SUN AND MOON LESBIANS! Also lol I do NOT blame you for having a tiny crush on Katerina
Katarina was what jinx is before jinx came along. She was basically the badass crazy hot female mascot of league. Then jinx got released and dethroned her 😩😩
@artxroyalty OMGGGG HAVE YOU SEEN WELCOME TO NOXUS THE NEW LEAGUE CINEMATIC YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT IT'S BASICALLY A PREVIEW OF THE NEXT SHOW ANYWAY OMG!!!!!!!
well they already have voice actors for Caitlyn, Vi, Jinx, Warwick, Ekko, Heim, Singed, Jayce and Viktor in the games before the show Arcane was made so yeah
Now that Arcane basically made me a widow, I'm also trying to get a bit more into the League lore but there's so much that it can get a bit overwhelmed. Watching it with you makes it much better tho. 😅
If you're missing Arcane, react to "Nightmare on Reroll Street (Full Version) | Into the Arcane Launch Cinematic - Teamfight Tactics". It's set inside Arcane. :)
Fun fact: on Targonian cinematic the guy’s voice actor is the same as Jayce’s. Thanks for your reaction ❤ I would wholeheartedly recommend you to react to very nice and my favorite champion of league of legends (intro 30s video/voicelines)- Kindred. They are a mighty wolf and a cute lamb. With a bit of a twist😊
27:04 I don't know who told you about the couple. But they are never unrealistic in their relationship and have agreed that they are more suitable for each other. They are exclusively business partners.
Twisted Fate and Graves are a couple but not formally. They are sort of in a situationship, they both have feelings for each other but have not talked to each other about it really. There is a story on the universe site basically talking about that. i’m working but will link it when i can. if i remember correctly, part of the story twisted fate was upset at graves because he was kind of a sleeps around a lot and he was listed a couple of people he was with and that none of them treated graves well or something and he deserved better. They are official though
@@vel306 thank you for clearing that up! I think at one point Graves called him brother and I was like (???) Sooo are y’all together or is this a bromance?
@@artxroyalty At the time of this cinematic releasing, I don't think it was officially announced yet that they were canon. I believe it was the original creator for graves and twisted fate that has said they were always originally intended to be a couple since the beginning (even married in of past og concepts) but at the time a lot of people in the company didn't want anything of that sort being represented around their game, especially because league is so popular in countries like china where any lgbtq rep is immediately censored and shut down so of course It wasn't exactly a high priority. Only recently in the past couple years did they announce that they do infact have canon romantic feelings for eachother. They've tried taking more strides into telling multiple lgbtq stories but in more subtle forms, like written stories on there website rather than main channel youtube cinematics which always end up cultivating millions of views. Ik arcane has the caitvi rep but the shows still being censored for some countries when it comes to their more romantic moments, so it makes sense why graves and twisted fate in a youtube cinematic would refer to each other as "brothers". Anyways yap section over lol
They are not a couple and were not in a relationship with each other. And in the official story, they agreed that it would be better that way. Only business partners.
@ well sure..they were in the pride event art right after this story is released. They didn’t want to commit them as a couple in the story, it makes more sense for it to be a slow burn, they are a couple, they just haven’t like acted upon it being more than a mutual crush. not sure if you were trying to dismiss that.
@ The art for the event is not canon and the fact that they are associated with the pride does not make them a couple. The authors themselves stopped their relationship in their story. So why claim a fact that has been refuted by their story?
Not sure if anyones corrected you yet but Leona is the one with the shield, not Diana. Diana is the one with the long white hair and shes Lunari, while Leona is Solari Also hope you're gonna watch the Annie: Origins vid because man is it visually amazing and its also a relatively easy story to understand without any prior knowledge (plus Annie already being one of the memorable champs for you). Think the only thing youd be confused by is the origin of the bear itself but iirc some of the top comments on that vid would explain it anyway
@@dracotunes yes, someone has but I appreciate the correction either way! I definitely want to make sure I put the right names to the right faces 😅 and not to worry, I intend on covering it ALL, I’ve got a bit of a rabbit hole to fall into lol
cithria the girl in the noxus video isn't a champion but she is in the card game and she's one of my favorite character i hope she will be a champion one day maybe i will restart the game if that happen
Yes!! Graves and Twisted Fate are an actually canon couple. If you look up online "League of Legends Pride event 2024" you can find official art of them and caitvi together
@artxroyalty not gonna spoil it, I recommend you check out their short story Rise With Me or maybe someone else might recommend a good video going over their lore
You SHOULD ship Diana and Leona (the Solari and Lunari warriors from Targon). They're canonically exes in a whole "two houses of Verona" thing. Targon isn't likely to to get the Arcane treatment any time soon and Ionia is the *region* I most want to see as the focus of the Arcane follow up, but if you asked me what *characters* I want the next series based on, it would be Leona and Diana in a heartbeat. Sadly, like I said, not gonna happen because Targon is the one region I'm absolutely positive will not be the next setting.
While Diana and Leona were attracted to each other and very close to each other as teens I don't think it should be a repeat of the CaitxVi scenario where the conflict was... more personal and smaller scale I'd say. Vi's parents being killed by enforcers and Cait being "one of the good ones" is VERY DIFFERENT to Leona spearheading genocide across all of Targon and towards the very people that Diana is sworn to defend, more of an Ekko Jinx situation where they could have been something but extenuating circumstances now make that impossible. Also they're not even really the same people anymore, Aspects are space-god parasites that meld their minds to yours when you're chosen to ascend, their psyche isn't as changed as someone like Kayle or Atreus while he was under the Pantheon's control, but to say they're the same Leona and Diana as before is also false, very similar to what they did to Viktor after he Hexcorized himself to the point I'm sure Arcane just lifted a lot of ideas from Targon for S2. It should end closer to a greek tragedy which would be fitting. But we all know Riot will cave to perceived backlash and do the tone-deaf thing and have them come together in the end, what's a little religious zealotry and cleansing between lovers ay?
I THINK that the people shown in the shadow isles video are supposed to be more emblematic of indigenous islanders, like the polynesian people, but there's still a clear.. um.. melanin shortage in that video ijbol
@@DatGuyWhoComments this is my first time seeing them to be fair, I’ll need to see a little bit more behind the people and their culture BUT by the outfits alone it looks very Egyptian inspired
@artxroyalty so i went digging for confirmation, yes the buhru (that group of people) are considered to be indigenous islanders, polynesian, nahuatl, and mayans are inspirations and sources
To answer your question, yes, Lux (short for Luxana) is from Demacia. She has an incredible story and is best friends with Jinx in an alternate timeline even though they are opposites in personality Demacia is my favourite location (which is weird because it's like the racism capital of Runeterra and I'm black😅) because the story is so rich in exploring themes such as prejudice and discrimination. Lux is maybe my favourite Runeterra character alongside Jinx. Most people's favourite is Noxus though (my second favourite location)
the solari guy in the Targon video is Jayce’s voice actor. Also the story her is that the two woman at the end were lovers in the past but there tribes are against each other. Diana, white hair, is a Lunari, worshippers of the moon, and Leona, Solari, is a worshipper of the sun, the tribes are always fighting, the solari being the more oppressive side, mostly because the sun is currently the more dominant force of nature during the current time but the more recent lore suggest the Moon is going to have its time of power in the near future.
@@vel306 oh whoa! I thought he sounded familiar! I happen to love forbidden love tropes, wherever there’s angst…sign me up! Omg do I love those two now?? I think I do
No need to ship Leona and Diana because they are League's official Lesbian Disaster Couple. Split by religious dogma, one is the Aspect of the Sun and the other the Moon. Constantly at odds by also pining for the other.
Also, when you're done with all the LOL content, may I recommend watching Necrit's lore video(s) on the lore of Runeterra. Mainly because it doesn't go too deep enough to spoil you but gives you a lot of context and for how the world became the way it is (including Piltover and Zaun)
Woowww these worlds are so IMAGINARY! These styles do make ne Arcane-sick too😢 My faves so far is the Night-Day feud pair, Samurai guardian spirit forest and the rise of Noxas. All funny and fantastic, kicking myself for sleeping on LoL for so long
Hey Aisha! Hope you're doing welll!! This is gonna be an interesting dive into these new characters and lore 👀👀👀 Can't wait for the new series!!! Wooo!!
Yeah, these are some the best ones imo (Runeterra) Runeterra Ruination And the big budget ones they do yearly like Warriors, Still Here, The Call etc These three are the best
Demacia: very good-guy coded visually, lots of white stone and gold and blue. However they are extremely xenophobic as a society, especially towards nonhumans, and are very anti-mage.

They are fiercely independent and hold their unforgiving land against all interlopers, and have conflicts with both Noxus and Demacia, as well as their own infighting.
Targon: Home to an extremely spartan society of people who train both in combat and philosophy. The Solari (sun folks) believe in the supremacy of the Sun as a celestial figure. The current chosen/avatar of the Sun is Leona (gold armor). Diana (spooky moon lady) recently rediscovered and revived the beliefs of the Lunari (moon folks) who were framed as heretics for believing the moon deserved an equal place as a figure of power. And yes, they are canonically gay. Star-crossed forbidden lovers situation.
Ionia: sort of a catch-all eastern aesthetic. Their ideals are based heavily in balance and respect for the spirits they share the land with. While they are not a warlike people, they have been the biggest thorn in Noxus's side historically with regards to expansion, because their determination and connection to the land repels their efforts. This is also where many Vastaya like Lest from Arcane come from.
Bilgewater: a pirate port and neutral space where people from all the other areas can come and go, but has its own inner conflicts. It's a balance of opportunity and risk. People with a criminal past can exist in relative safety (from the law at least, not each other) here to start fresh.
Shadow Isle: probably the closest to a source of Actual Evil. It's a place cursed to drain the life of all who set foot there, and it's haunted by the spirits of the dead. It's also the source of the "Harrowing" when the Ruined King there sends out waves of his influence across the world, endangering people even outside the Shadow Isles.
Shurima: While we didn't see a video for Shurima, this is where the folks from the shadow isles video are from. It's a desert, and has very Egyptian aesthetics - this is also where the Medarda family is implied to originally be from.
Bandle City: the home of the yordles, a hidden place that only they can freely access. Very fairy/spirit realm, separate from the physical world. Yordles travel to Runeterra from Bandle City looking for adventure. It seems there's no hard and fast rule for what a yordle looks like - mostly just that they're small and (for the most part) a little fuzzy, though there are some who aren't and may appear more fish-like.

I think the people from the Shadow Isles video are part of the Buhru actually (ie Illaoi's people). Not from Shurima. The Buhru inhabit the Serpent Isles, which is where Bilgewater is located.
Also, I wouldnt' say Demacia is xenophobic but rather isolationist. Poppy (a Yordle), Xin Zhao and Sona (Ionian) are well accepted and there's even mentions of Minotaur's serving alongside Garen in the Vanguard.
"Every hunk of a man sounds like Vander to me" Hilariously enough, Braum and Vander are voiced by the same actor, JB Blanc.
@@Jukettaja I remember him saying it in an interview but I didn’t know who Braum was at the time. So cool that they brought some of these voice actors back for the show!
Interestingly, the portraits in Caitlyn's study seem to imply that her mother was maybe a quarter or eighth Ionian as well. The oldest is of a woman with a bow instead of a rifle and some ships, all of which look Ionian, making it appear the Kirammans originally sailed to Piltover from there, married with locals for a couple generations, then Cassandra met a nice young man from back in their ancestral homeland
God I fucking love the details and backstory they sprinkle in that show
Yes is true caitlyn is half ionians and piltovians in his bio
Knew you'd catch the vibes between Diana and Leona. Yes, they are lovers to enemies (enemies by circumstance rather than actually hating each other though).
The number one reason I want the next series set in Ionia is just to see Fortiche go to town on that environment. I mean, come on, the visuals would be *ridiculousssss*.
@@TheDadboo Ionia looks the coolest, aesthetically at least!
I personally think fortiche would go even crazier with bilgewater, just imagine
Honestly, I don't know what they could do, but a thriller/horror series taking place in/around the Shadow Isles would be awesome too !
YAY these are what I was waiting for. There are so many great cinematics and music videos, but if you're looking for a more basic understanding of the world an the lore, the Tales of Runeterra series is the perfect place to start.
A couple of things to comment
Yes, twisted fate and graves are confirmed as a canon couple, there's even official pride art of them in league and a short story about them. Also the Solari and Lunari Leona and Diana from those shorts at some points they were almost a couple since both were in love with each other so you were right there with the shipping haha. Counting all of them and cait with vi with other 3 or 4 champions they are the ones that are either gay or bi in universe, out of the almost 170 that exist.
There's a scrapped storyline of Jinx in Bilgewaters that was going to be part of Arcane at some point so there's a lot of theories she might be there, after all it has a similar vibe to Zaun but with pirates.
Bandle City is where Yordles come from, it's a place that exists in another realm and through portals they can go to Runeterra, canonically Yordles can't die so technically Heimerdinger could've easily respawned there after his last appearence in arcane, as a fun fact there's a really depressed yordle called Vex that is always sad because she knows she will never die.
About Katarina you don't see much of her nowadays, she was the first poster child of league that's why she was in a lot of old cinematics but the moment jinx became more and more relevant she got replaced by her, I'm not joking. But she's still iconic, if the next series is in noxus I bet we'll see her without a doubt.
Yep Katarina was one of the original champions when League first came out and was super popular early on but you don't see much of her anymore. She might have had some backstory with Garen but I don't remember.
@@spectreharlequin She was one of the easiest champs of the game, they reworked her and with that they killed her popularity.
@@spectreharlequin noooo 😭
?
She got replaced by lux And ahri
Didn't know that TF and Graves were a couple, though it doesn't surprise me - those two are like attached by the hip. If you see one of them then you know the other isn't far away.
There's an official short story on the Riot website where Leona and Diana basically have a popular jock valedictorian/awkward goth outcast romance in Solari Catholic girls high school, then magic stuff happens just before they can actually get together at prom and they become basically demigods of opposing divine forces, leading Diana to run off to join the Lunari while Leona stays to be the protector of the Solari
And there's an ongoing plotline where for thousands of years it's been believed that the sun and moon are enemies, and the sun is truth and good while the moon is deception and bad... but some people are saying maybe they're wrong? Maybe they're two halves of the same whole and need to be reunited, perhaps by some sort of star-crossed lovers situation??
@@aranthur oop- I WILL be reading 😅
oh this seems like my cup of tea 👀🤭
Funny story about Lux: She and Jinx have no canon interactions in the main League story but are very close in at least 1 of Riot's alternate skin/cinematic universes, which is where most of that shipping started
In the main League canon though, there are a few flirty-ish interactions between Lux and a guy named Ezreal, and in yet another alternate universe skinline, Ezreal and EKKO are actually a canon couple. So I doubt it would ever happen, but if all of them end up in some kind of messy cute polyamorous foursome, I'd be pretty okay with that lol
@@aranthur omg hold onnnn 😭
@artxroyalty Canonically, Ekko & Ezreal aren't a couple. Ezreal loves women/adventures & Ekko loves Zaun/science. They have no interactions in the main story. There are two female champions that likes Ekko, Rell & Taliyah.
Also, Lux don't have feelings for Ezreal. Ezreal likes her more than she likes him. Her dialogue is even: "Are we supposed to be dating or something? We've never even talked."
What skinline that has Ezreal & Ekko as a couple? Sounds like a fanfic, which some of LOL fans are known for.
@bwslayer926 Actually, if I remember right, there's an entire short story about Ekko and Ezreal working as partners in the Pulsefire universe, which the author later tweeted about, basically saying Riot wanted him to subtly imply romantic feelings without explicitly stating them because they didn't want to risk damaging their sales in countries like China, where including a single canon queer character in a game or film or whatever can sometimes raise its rating to mature/explicit immediately
@aranthur Okay. That's a pretty odd choice to make these two a couple given that they are straight in the canon lore and aren't too fond of each other based their audio interactions.
If you would like to read the confirmations for the couples (TF and Graves, Leona and Diana) check the League universe page and search for the short stories "The Boys and Bombolini" and "Rise with me" . The Targon clip hits completely different knowing the backstory of Leona and Diana. If they had made other decisions they could have been united like the couple in the video despite being from opposing factions. It is Romeo and Juliet really...
For some of these videos you could have a bigger experience with a little preparation. No critic at all ! I get that this means spending more time with the content. Of course the videos also work as stand alone. 😉 Glad you enjoy the different regions. Runeterra has so much to offer...🤩
I really hope they will continue exploring this world further despite Arcane seemingly not being a financial success (atm). They stated they are not focused on a short lived financial success, but are aiming for a much bigger goal in the long term. I put all my hope on this.. 🧡
They can't continue with future projects if their shows keep being financial misses.
Lux is from Demacia! She's one of my favorite characters. As someone who ships both Lux/Jinx and Jinx/Ekko its so annoying to see the shippers brawling on twitter esp because Lux would be SUCH a fan of the Firelights. Lux is a mage with light powers who is forced to keep her abilities as a mage secret to preserve her family's status and her own freedom. Her older brother is Garen, the buff guy from the Demacia video. Her and Garen were born to the renowned Crownguard family, which has served for generations as protectors of the kings of Demacia. Lux is a resilient optimist who seeks to help guide Demacia through her pacifict ways to her vision of the beautiful place it could be. She even founded a refuge for mages.
@@marzley omg I’ve been hearing sooo much about Lux and I’ve definitely seen the shipping wars as a lover of timebomb lol! From what I’ve heard of Lux tho…even though I’m not as familiar with her she seems pretty dope, I feel once I learn more I’ll definitely be shipping lightcanon as well!
@@artxroyalty Next we will see people shipping Jinx & Harley Quinn.
@@artxroyalty The shipping mainly comes from an alternate universe - skinline with its own story, Star Guardians, which is where an alternate version of Lux and Jinx meet and interact etc.
Solari would likely sound familiar because Mel's armour was thought to be the Locket of the Iron Solari, which is a protective artefact in the game.
@@Jukettaja oh!?? Why would Mel have Solari armor, does she have any ties to them 👀
@@artxroyalty If I'm remebering right, I believe the Solari have old ties to Shurima, and Ambessa's backstory implies the Medardas have mixed Noxian and Shuriman ancestry
@@aranthur omg that’s sooo cool! Kind of interesting how we always saw her standing with the sunset behind her too, wonder if that was on purpose
@aranthur To be honest, it is not explicitly said, but implied that all black people on Runeterra are at least descendent from Shurima(Africa) while east Asian looking people are from Ionia, the Buhru of the Serpentine Isles, where bilgewater is located, are Pacific Islander coded. Noxus and Demacia are a cross of Greek and Roman mixed with British tones. Demacia is Greek with a medieval King Arthur flair, while Noxus is more Roman and expansionist 18 and 19 century Britain. The Freljord is Norse, and Mount Targon is Olympus!
13:00 Freljord is one the best Runeterra's region. Great champions, lore and very important for the main LOL lore, I'm very excited for when animate them
still holding out hope that one day we'll see Jinx rolling up to Bilgewater at some point in the future. in my mind Jinx would be so much happier there.
@@raverdeath100 especially considering that’s where she went before they reworked the pilot episode!
@@artxroyalty I actually think the next show should be Demacia with some Targon backstory tied in, but that Jinx should show up in Demacia in the series finale. She should be coming from Bilgewater, and that is when her & Lux should meet up. I don't ship those two, I like them better as girl bffs. I think Jinx's adventure in Bilgewater should be a movie, a actual release in theaters. It should take place after the events of the Ruined King game and at some point Jinx should be tested be Illoai.
Easy sub tbh. Also i never get tired of reactions to league cinematics😅
Dont know if anyone has said this yet but fun fact an earlier draft of arcane had powder go to bilgewater post ep3 during the time skip and that was where she'd learn to really be jinx, she was supposed to go with those 2 traders we see in ep 1
Vander was the same voice actor as Braum!!!! So good you aren't crazy! 12:25
In the Convergence video game, the big Noxian with the flail, Captian Ferron, is hinted to be from Zaun.
Something that i really love about yordles Is that the yordles who live in different Places un runeterra adapt to become caricatures of the places they inhabit, that's how you get a gangster like Smeech, or a crazy inventor like heimmer
9:11 No but she exist as a card in Riots digital card game, Legeneds of Runeterra (or LoR), and the big guy to. The apprentice from the Piltover & Zaun animation is another example of this.
They are follower cards in Legends of Runeterra.
Y'all was feral for Vi and Caitlyn. None of you would BEHAVE if we had Diana and Leona.
@@MrDoot-hj2ir I would like to see it 😌😂
I also heavily recommend the "Call of the Mountain" cinematic. It's REALLY good but sadly very underrated.
Lol Noxus is basically the Fire Nation from Avatar the Last Airbender. " Let us share our prosperity with everyone! "
"It's giving Egyptian, but without the melanin" Please Visit Egypt and then revisit that statement. You will find Egypt very mixed, but generally lacking melanin :D
Ikr just because Egypt is from Africa doesn't mean everyone from that continent looks the same
Also they're not even from shurima they're from bilgewater
So if you want to get more lore based on regions i highly recommend watching the video titled "riot mmo: the world is already done" by netcrit.
I really hope you watch the video cause it goes a bit deeper than these animations and give you a very good surface based info about each region.
Also about aonia, every character in league that are either east asian in design or a furry means they are from ionia or their parents 😅
Same thing with characters with darker skin, most are from shurima. For ex mel's family from arcane may live in noxus but they are originally from shurima and you can see it in their design with a lot of gold (shurima's color is gold like noxus color is red).
The Mel Medarda flashback in S1e8 hits different once you've seen that Noxus cinematic. They fleshed out Noxian culture a lot better in season 2, but before it came out, there were a lot of little nods to the lore in what little we got at the end of season 1
33:02 Mr. Sparkles from the Piltover and Zaun short in the background.
This is prob so late but the shadow isles used to be a nice place where magical artifacts were studied and then there was a nasty magical disaster there and now it's all nasty ghosts.
I kinda like that about the world of runeterra, every region is kinda defined by their relationship to magic and often how extremely dangerous it is
Besides the shadow isles and what happened with Viktor, you've got shurima which was a giant Egyptian type empire that was destroyed by their own magic, demacia was founded by people trying to hide from mage wars and now theyre like anti magic bigots, noxus is built on top of a prison for a super dangerous revenant and they love experimenting with dangerous magic, etc
the guy you said looks like he's from mortal kombat is shen and he actually has a couple skins that make him look more like sub zero and scorpion.
Not sure if it’s in the playlist you’re going through, but the Legends of Runeterra music video, Breathe, is breathtaking, no pun intended. Beautiful song and heavily features Darius along with some other champions. Hope you check it out!
in the targon video, i believe the guy is voiced by arcane jayces voice actor Kevin Alejandro. I havent seen anything to confirm this but it sounds too similar to not be.
If you had to choose between Noxus and Ionia though...which one are you choosing 👀
The fact that you said "Is something wrong with me cause why did my brain immediately go like, I ship it." LIKE YES THEY ARE SUN AND MOON LESBIANS!
Also lol I do NOT blame you for having a tiny crush on Katerina
@minionmegaman3070 I KNEW IT, I love them already
Two Noxian champions were hinted at (one way more obviously than the other) in Arcane season 2.
Katarina was what jinx is before jinx came along. She was basically the badass crazy hot female mascot of league. Then jinx got released and dethroned her 😩😩
@@lafatte24 that is a valid dethroning 😅
@artxroyalty OMGGGG HAVE YOU SEEN WELCOME TO NOXUS THE NEW LEAGUE CINEMATIC YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT IT'S BASICALLY A PREVIEW OF THE NEXT SHOW ANYWAY OMG!!!!!!!
@ YESSS I’M REACTING TO IT TONIGHT!!
For graves and twisted fate they are a couple nut it was made up by riot after this cinematic, so when this cinematic came out they were just broes
29:18 That expression haha
Leona is the one with the shield, and yes she is the character you saw in a New Dawn.
@@CJDM310 omg yesss I’m becoming familiar 😅
well they already have voice actors for Caitlyn, Vi, Jinx, Warwick, Ekko, Heim, Singed, Jayce and Viktor in the games before the show Arcane was made so yeah
Tf and Graves are friend -> romance -> enemy -> bromance
Now that Arcane basically made me a widow, I'm also trying to get a bit more into the League lore but there's so much that it can get a bit overwhelmed. Watching it with you makes it much better tho. 😅
@maaars-lc6og gonna be diving in some more soon!!
You really need to watch Necrits video on the world of Runeterra, you will absolutely love it
If you're missing Arcane, react to "Nightmare on Reroll Street (Full Version) | Into the Arcane Launch Cinematic - Teamfight Tactics". It's set inside Arcane. :)
Fun fact: on Targonian cinematic the guy’s voice actor is the same as Jayce’s.
Thanks for your reaction ❤
I would wholeheartedly recommend you to react to very nice and my favorite champion of league of legends (intro 30s video/voicelines)- Kindred. They are a mighty wolf and a cute lamb. With a bit of a twist😊
Well that hunk of a man is the voice behind Vander so yeah 😅 Braum is Vander 😂😂😂
Please do more cinematic reactions.
talking about egyptian, kinda missing shurima in this collection of mayor regions of runeterra.
Hey my new fav league-tuber!
@@jcrich_tv1031 hey!! 👏🏾💜
27:04 I don't know who told you about the couple. But they are never unrealistic in their relationship and have agreed that they are more suitable for each other. They are exclusively business partners.
Twisted Fate and Graves are a couple but not formally. They are sort of in a situationship, they both have feelings for each other but have not talked to each other about it really. There is a story on the universe site basically talking about that. i’m working but will link it when i can.
if i remember correctly, part of the story twisted fate was upset at graves because he was kind of a sleeps around a lot and he was listed a couple of people he was with and that none of them treated graves well or something and he deserved better. They are official though
@@vel306 thank you for clearing that up! I think at one point Graves called him brother and I was like (???) Sooo are y’all together or is this a bromance?
@@artxroyalty At the time of this cinematic releasing, I don't think it was officially announced yet that they were canon. I believe it was the original creator for graves and twisted fate that has said they were always originally intended to be a couple since the beginning (even married in of past og concepts) but at the time a lot of people in the company didn't want anything of that sort being represented around their game, especially because league is so popular in countries like china where any lgbtq rep is immediately censored and shut down so of course It wasn't exactly a high priority. Only recently in the past couple years did they announce that they do infact have canon romantic feelings for eachother. They've tried taking more strides into telling multiple lgbtq stories but in more subtle forms, like written stories on there website rather than main channel youtube cinematics which always end up cultivating millions of views. Ik arcane has the caitvi rep but the shows still being censored for some countries when it comes to their more romantic moments, so it makes sense why graves and twisted fate in a youtube cinematic would refer to each other as "brothers". Anyways yap section over lol
They are not a couple and were not in a relationship with each other. And in the official story, they agreed that it would be better that way. Only business partners.
@ well sure..they were in the pride event art right after this story is released. They didn’t want to commit them as a couple in the story, it makes more sense for it to be a slow burn, they are a couple, they just haven’t like acted upon it being more than a mutual crush. not sure if you were trying to dismiss that.
@ The art for the event is not canon and the fact that they are associated with the pride does not make them a couple. The authors themselves stopped their relationship in their story. So why claim a fact that has been refuted by their story?
Not sure if anyones corrected you yet but Leona is the one with the shield, not Diana. Diana is the one with the long white hair and shes Lunari, while Leona is Solari
Also hope you're gonna watch the Annie: Origins vid because man is it visually amazing and its also a relatively easy story to understand without any prior knowledge (plus Annie already being one of the memorable champs for you). Think the only thing youd be confused by is the origin of the bear itself but iirc some of the top comments on that vid would explain it anyway
@@dracotunes yes, someone has but I appreciate the correction either way! I definitely want to make sure I put the right names to the right faces 😅 and not to worry, I intend on covering it ALL, I’ve got a bit of a rabbit hole to fall into lol
cithria the girl in the noxus video isn't a champion but she is in the card game and she's one of my favorite character i hope she will be a champion one day maybe i will restart the game if that happen
12:23
Same voice actor, JB Blanc XD
Yes!! Graves and Twisted Fate are an actually canon couple. If you look up online "League of Legends Pride event 2024" you can find official art of them and caitvi together
@@LydiaShark that’s it, I need to see all of them in a series NOW!
Diana, The Aspect of the Moon, and Leona, the Aspect of the Sun, are canonically exes.
@@ericjohnson6120 I love them already 🙂↕️
Not Aisha immediately clocking Diana and Leona's lesbian yearning 😂
@@TransPirate wait are they together??? 🤭
@artxroyalty not gonna spoil it, I recommend you check out their short story Rise With Me or maybe someone else might recommend a good video going over their lore
3:11 Sadly the animation studio who created this went bankrupt.😢 It was Axis studio. I hope those animators already find a job.
You SHOULD ship Diana and Leona (the Solari and Lunari warriors from Targon). They're canonically exes in a whole "two houses of Verona" thing.
Targon isn't likely to to get the Arcane treatment any time soon and Ionia is the *region* I most want to see as the focus of the Arcane follow up, but if you asked me what *characters* I want the next series based on, it would be Leona and Diana in a heartbeat. Sadly, like I said, not gonna happen because Targon is the one region I'm absolutely positive will not be the next setting.
What, no Shurima? Give Azir a chance. Reactivate the Sun Disc.
While Diana and Leona were attracted to each other and very close to each other as teens I don't think it should be a repeat of the CaitxVi scenario where the conflict was... more personal and smaller scale I'd say. Vi's parents being killed by enforcers and Cait being "one of the good ones" is VERY DIFFERENT to Leona spearheading genocide across all of Targon and towards the very people that Diana is sworn to defend, more of an Ekko Jinx situation where they could have been something but extenuating circumstances now make that impossible. Also they're not even really the same people anymore, Aspects are space-god parasites that meld their minds to yours when you're chosen to ascend, their psyche isn't as changed as someone like Kayle or Atreus while he was under the Pantheon's control, but to say they're the same Leona and Diana as before is also false, very similar to what they did to Viktor after he Hexcorized himself to the point I'm sure Arcane just lifted a lot of ideas from Targon for S2. It should end closer to a greek tragedy which would be fitting.
But we all know Riot will cave to perceived backlash and do the tone-deaf thing and have them come together in the end, what's a little religious zealotry and cleansing between lovers ay?
@@MrMeddyman spearheading a WHAT!??
That about aspects it not really true. We have examples of aspect hosts and their mind is completely in tact.
Bildge water is where is believe jinx went
I THINK that the people shown in the shadow isles video are supposed to be more emblematic of indigenous islanders, like the polynesian people, but there's still a clear.. um.. melanin shortage in that video ijbol
@@clavchannel melanin shortage is the best way to put it haha! I was hearing my people but I wasn’t seeing my people 🤣
I always thought they were South African inspired
@@DatGuyWhoComments this is my first time seeing them to be fair, I’ll need to see a little bit more behind the people and their culture BUT by the outfits alone it looks very Egyptian inspired
@@DatGuyWhoComments I think the fact that they live in the Serpent ISLES might define it a bit, and they worship a kraken goddess
@artxroyalty so i went digging for confirmation, yes the buhru (that group of people) are considered to be indigenous islanders, polynesian, nahuatl, and mayans are inspirations and sources
To answer your question, yes, Lux (short for Luxana) is from Demacia. She has an incredible story and is best friends with Jinx in an alternate timeline even though they are opposites in personality
Demacia is my favourite location (which is weird because it's like the racism capital of Runeterra and I'm black😅) because the story is so rich in exploring themes such as prejudice and discrimination. Lux is maybe my favourite Runeterra character alongside Jinx.
Most people's favourite is Noxus though (my second favourite location)
noxus is definitely not the favorite by most, it’s mine but the most popular is ionia, it’s why they have the most champions.
@@HalcyonCinema the racism capital!? Demacia!?? I need to research this asap 😭
3+ years
the solari guy in the Targon video is Jayce’s voice actor. Also the story her is that the two woman at the end were lovers in the past but there tribes are against each other. Diana, white hair, is a Lunari, worshippers of the moon, and Leona, Solari, is a worshipper of the sun, the tribes are always fighting, the solari being the more oppressive side, mostly because the sun is currently the more dominant force of nature during the current time but the more recent lore suggest the Moon is going to have its time of power in the near future.
@@vel306 oh whoa! I thought he sounded familiar! I happen to love forbidden love tropes, wherever there’s angst…sign me up! Omg do I love those two now?? I think I do
Twisted Fate and Graves are ex boyfriends that are currently reconnecting I think.
who the fk told you tf and graves are couple they are partners in crime they not canon
pls react to breathe cinematic
No need to ship Leona and Diana because they are League's official Lesbian Disaster Couple. Split by religious dogma, one is the Aspect of the Sun and the other the Moon. Constantly at odds by also pining for the other.

Also, when you're done with all the LOL content, may I recommend watching Necrit's lore video(s) on the lore of Runeterra. Mainly because it doesn't go too deep enough to spoil you but gives you a lot of context and for how the world became the way it is (including Piltover and Zaun)
