League of Legends is one of the most well-known MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) games of all time. Riot Games‘ 2009 release, League, drew gamers from all over the world and developed a significant esports scene. It has two spin-off games: Teamfight Tactics, an auto-chess battler, and Legends of Runeterra, a card game. League of Legends allows players to choose from over 100 playable champions from the mythical world of Runeterra. The lore and people of Runeterra inspired Arcane, a Netflix animated version of League. Arcane will dig into this universe, concentrating on the story of the Sisters VI and Jinx, who are estranged after being separated as young infants in the undercity of Zaun. There’s a lot to study before viewing the adaptation, with 12 years to build up the lore. Before you watch Arcane, here’s all you need to know, starting with a glimpse at Runeterra.
Runeterra is a vast fantasy world divided into 13 regions. These regions are populated by a diverse range of races and cover a wide range of cultures and biodomes. Runeterra is rich in history and magic, from the lush, verdant flora of Ionia to the enormous deserts of Shurima, the militaristic kingdom of Noxus to the solitary territory of Ixtal. Arcane takes place in two distinct areas: the shining City of Progress Piltover and the undercity district of Zaun.
Piltover and Zaun are so inextricably intertwined that Legends of Runeterra treats them as a single area in its game. Piltover is built atop the cliffs that Zaun is built-in, so they practically stand on top of each other. Despite their close proximity, the two regions frequently clash due to variations in living conditions and customs. Piltover, also known as the City of Progress, is a center for trade, science, and education.
Piltover is well-known for its Academy, which educates Runeterra’s greatest brains in cutting-edge hextech science procedures and how to further enhance it. Its ports are also a major source of trade, with merchants sailing from all across Runeterra to Piltover. As a result, Piltover has become a wealthy city with a good level of living.
Zaun, on the other hand, is a far grimmer region, absorbing much of Piltover’s runoff and suffering from significantly greater rates of poverty and crime. Tragic Chemtech and other industrial incidents occur frequently, but the Zaun Gray is one of Zaun’s most hazardous risks.
The Gray is a thick haze from the factories in Zaun and Piltover, and its varying thickness makes breathing in Zaun a nuisance to a hazard. The people of these two contrasted regions despise each other; Pilties regard Zaunites as lower class, while Zaunites despise Pilties for causing the destitute conditions in which they live.
The promotional teaser for Arcane shows glimpses of disturbances and hints that the tenuous peace between the areas is coming to an end. Of all, every fantasy realm is only as fantastic as the individuals who populate it, so let’s take a look at the champions who will be appearing in Arcane.
