Valoran

''' Valoran is the central continent of Runeterra and is home to most of its sentient life. Valoran is now dominated by the Institute of War, the home of the League. It sits near the center of the continent, between the two most powerful city-states: Demacia and Noxus. To the northeast lies Piltover, Zaun and the Frel’jord. To the south lies Bandle City. The continent is divided north and south by the Great Barrier, a dominating mountain range that runs from coast to coast. Much of the lands south of the Great Barrier are unexplored and considered extremely dangerous. They were deeply affected by the disruptions of the Rune Wars, and much of what was once known is now unreliable at best. '''
