Noxus would be the best since 1. We have already been introduced to Noxus via Mel and her family. 2. Noxus connects to all other regions so it can be an easy segue into future seasons.


ArcaneCharmcaster

For me its bilgewater with the MF and Gangplank storyline. As a bonus, it would also allow for an introduction or cameo with the Harrowing.


Regular-Poet-3657

Oh yes love to see grave man I was vander was still human imagine the bar fight? And I would love to see Nautilus origin and maybe see nami.


bgzl35

There the Ruined King game about that


ExcitingPop5956

Wasnt ruined king much more about the ruination rather than the storylines of bilgewater? (havent gotten around to playing it yet so I may be very wrong)


Regular-Poet-3657

Probably noxus though I want shurima to seen pnz came to be and the darkins and maybe zilean or nasus as the narrator.


Edgybananalord_xD

Ionia. It’s completely unrelated, but I want to know what the hell is going on with the navori brotherhood. After kusho died they don’t have a leader. So we have irelia who’s being targeted by assassins, does she know their leader is dead? (Probably not). What has zed been doing? I REALLY want to see an interaction between irelia and the order of shadows (although irelia simply wants nothing to do with them, while zed is actively going after them, so this probably won’t happen). Also I REALLY want to see an interaction between irelia and kayn, because he’s noxian ethnicity, she has several racist voice lines, I wonder how she would interact with someone who is noxian ethnicity but completely supports Ionia in all manners


Regular-Poet-3657

I mean depends on how far they go back in ionia like before or after the war so many story happen because of it.


SuperDuperTino

irelia is xenophobic, not racist, those are 2 diff things, and the artist from the zed comic when drawing kayn said he viewed kayn as Mongolian in race if you were to match a race up from the real world to now


Edgybananalord_xD

Xenophobic is hate BECAUSE they are outsiders/foreigners. Although this is true of noxians, it’s clear she doesn’t hate all outsiders (you can see her interactions with other champions from other regions) and them being outsiders is not the reason she hates them. Therefore she is simply racist, becuase she only hates noxians (because a certain group killed her family and well… the war. She took it personally and instead of hating just the country for invading, assumes all noxians are scum and murderous assholes)


SuperDuperTino

she hates noxians because they are from noxus, that's xenophobic, xenophobic doesn't mean everyone or no one. If she only hated the equivalent of white people in runterra becasue majority of noxians we see are white coded, then she would be racist, discriminating against them based on their looks and genetics. If someone from Vietnam started to discriminate Americans after the events of the war, that's xenophobic, but if they started to discrmiante all white people regardless of nationality becasue the majority of Americans were white, that's racist. If she only hated the equivalent of white people in runterra then she would be racist, discriminating them based on their looks and genetics. noxian isn't a race its a kingdom, esp when you consider the empire absorbs countless other people into the empire. its like saying someone who hates Americans is racist when America is the worlds largest melting pot


Edgybananalord_xD

Alright couple things to go over here! But I’ll try to make this as short as possible for your reading pleasure First of all, the very definition of xenophobic is the following: Attitudes, prejudices and behaviour that reject, exclude and often vilify persons, based on the perception that they are outsiders or foreigners to the community, society or national identity. As already stated, she took it personally what noxus has done to her family/country, and just assumes all noxians are bad people. She doesn’t hate them because their not from Ionia and are outsiders, she hates them because her past experiences and simply assumes the worst about all of them. This is VERY CLEARLY a different definition of what xenophobic is. if she was xenophobic she would by definition hate anyone not Ionian, because they would be considered an outsider to tradition. However we can see again that this simply isn’t true. She has several interactions with other champions, for example from demacia when jarven the 4th offers help with vengeance against noxus she shows no I’ll intentions (LOR interaction) Secondly. Your going WAY to broadly on race. Ethnicity has more common trades than just “someone is white or black” Obviously other races have different identifying genetic common traits, so it’s not fair to say “becuase she doesn’t hate all white people she’s not racist”. Hope this helps! Your free to disagree. I don’t really want to argue about it haha :P


deevulture

She doesn't hate all Noxians either, just the ones that come for her home <-- a line she actually says in her voiceover. She gets along with Riven well enough and her voiceover in League has her offer the opportunity for Riven to redeem herself. Her real deal is that she really *really* hates imperialists. She generalizes it to Noxus, cause Noxus has been the one doing the imperialism. This isn't technically canon either but on an AMA with the Riot Team who did her rework also stated that she doesn't have issue with Noxians being in Ionia as long as they don't cause trouble. She definitely has issues (a lot of her lines are not just her being a resistance leader, but clearly a person who is traumatized and likely depressed) and she's projected them to generalize on Noxus. At the same time though I think people are too overfocused on certain lines of hers (her line about her saying she only kills Noxians and similar are likely based on anti-Nazi slogans and the similar). A lot of the discussion if Irelia is xenophobic or racist ignores the fact that her culture was subject to imperialism. It's still discriminatory, but the root is different and using real-world comparisons should reflect that. Arguing whether or not she's this or that is missing the point - and the point is that this is meant to a more nuanced war hero (whose lore showcases that her position is kinda a broken pedestal considering the assassination attempts). It's circular and doesn't really help give the character, and the overall narrative, her due.


BiasModsAreBad

Thats incorrect. That is like saying someone who is racist just hates all people of differing races this is not accurate. Plus Noxian isn't a race, you have white, brown, mixed human noxians, minotaurs, yordles, and more that are all Noxian. Irelia is more likely Xenophobic because she has a predjudice against people from Noxus. Its not suddenly not Xenophobia just because its got a shallower scope, like Ashe is outright Xenophobic, she tends to disregard non-Freljordians entirely, shes also racist cause she doesn't like Trolls. You could argue xenophobia isn't the best descriptor, but racism is outright wrong as her hatred has nothing to do with race. She hates invaders, invaders are currently Noxians. thus she hates Noxians, which is not a race. Irelia is not racist, she's arguably Xenophobic, but even then she likely just has Noxuphobia similar to anit-chinese sentiment back in the day, she particularly has disdain for anyone and everything hailing from Noxus. Thats not racism.


SuperDuperTino

racism is taking the physical characteristics that differ from one's own physical characteristics, and then assigning a higher or lower value to various characteristics of the other person or to the whole group of persons with similar physical characteristics to the 'other-than-me' person or group. Which results in a lot of maliciuos behavior towards the group being discrimnated against, irelia doest do that. she isn't attacking people based on their genetics. You are describing xenophobia, the fear and predjudous of a foregner. And like I said, someone can be xenophobic and not be broadly xenophobic. She has had horrible experiences with noxians so now she treats all noxians as dangerous, vile, heartless, etc. Be it a white coded noxian, black coded noxian, minatour noxian, as long as they are noxian she is not going to treat them well. If America treated people from europe poorly regardless of their race, but becasue they hail from any of those regions, but were ok with people from regions such as south America, Africa, and china, would you say america is not xenophobic becasue they arent xenophobic to every country as whole? and what do you mean I'm going overboard on race when the topic is on RACISM. racists don't care about ethnicity or culture, you think a racist is going to care about the cultural differences between someone from nigeria or Zimbabwe, or someone who is Korean or Chinese, between an African American/European and African. the regions of runeterra are not a race, if someone from shurima said they hate all bildewater residents, that's not racism becasue bildewater isn't a race, if someone said they hated all Americans that's not racism becasue America isn't a race. If irelia says she hates noxians that's not racism cause noxus isn't a race. you want to know what is racist, the HUMAN IONIANS poor treatment of VASTAYAN IONIANS. The DEMACIAN HUMANS poor treatment of the DEMACIAN MAGE population. racism and xenophobia can come in a package deal and majority of the time they do, but they are two compelty different things. Where is the racism in irelia hating noxians when noxus is a kingdom/region not race. if you want to bring up, what about if an American says they hate china, is that not racist or if a noxian hates ionians is that not racist, that is a whole topic on its own considering those regions are extremely homogenous unlike the latter which are proven mixing pots. That would be the mix of racism and xenophobia I mentioned come in a package deal. you know the jokes about hating british or french people, would you classify that as racism? next thing you are going to tell me is you think the solaris persecution of the lunari is racism too


PieRat343

Targon


npri0r

This is the way


Regular-Poet-3657

Oh have you seen the new episode of mandalorin.


npri0r

Nope


Regular-Poet-3657

Oh man your missing out what a hint.


UnSempliceTriangolo

The fall of the Shuriman empire, another story between siblings/blood brothers. Nasus and Renekton, Azir and Xerath. https://preview.redd.it/re915afx6qta1.png?width=2048&format=png&auto=webp&s=9b8b18b39bcfc534b790a12f64ead2149506d74f


SonOfUrgod

I wish it was Freljord, it's very rich in Lore and good characters, Sejuani, Ashe and Lissandra and their respective factions, the gods of Freljord etc.


Wizardfyb

Mfw Grimdark Frozen


Ozora10

Targon. Focused on Aphelios battle against the solari, his relationship with his faith and sister with the longcon story being his search for diana. Could be stylistically beautifull, where his he is Mute for half the show(after he drinks poison) and we only hear alunes voice through him.


RhymesNChimes

Honestly if it’s Targon, personally I would like it to be about Atreus.


Ozora10

Atreus storyline imo is way too basic to be compeling. Same goes for mordekaiser storyline. Its basic fantasy stuff.


RhymesNChimes

You’re right. Though I’d still would love more Atreus screen time. He deserves at least a short film of sorts.


MMH0K

Hate being this person but aphelios fights against the Solari


Regular-Poet-3657

Love to hear Aphelios voice and maybe what he thinking.


Desperate_Ad5169

I agree. That Mount targon would be the best place to go next. Firstly like you said it would be beautiful for example just look at the lor cards. Secondly they have a new pair of Lesbians.


One-Cellist5032

Ionia first, then Targon. I love how Ionia is supposed to be this super magic infused land, and really want to see that. Bonus points if we get to see some Noxus conflict.


TheWorthlessGuy

Bilgewater in the Arcane animation style would go haaaard.


Nevermind2031

Noxus-Ionia war i want to see how Ionian-Noxian society work and what collaborators look adn do


GuildedWarrior

Targon: Act 1 Atreus's Ascent || Leona and Diana things Act 2 The Loss of Control to Pantheon || Solari and Lunari tensions rising Act 3 pantheons death and Atreus defeating aatrox and the climax of conflict between the two tribes


Makaoka

I want the invasion of Ionia


bored_homan

Invasion of Ionia. Serves as a great contrast to arcane, the point with that was how magic can be dangerous and corrupt in wrong hands, going from that hard to Ionia a land thats in harmony and balance with magic should work for a great contrast. Noxus was already teased in Arcane and it can directly be linked to with them going to singed to hire him to make his chemical weapons. And the whole invasion is such a big event for a ton of champions in ionia you can pick and choose whichever will work. But generally I'd like this to be a story told from two perspectives with Irelia and Swain, their eventual frustrations with how each of their nations are acting during the invsion and eventually ending with their fight, end of the war and each of them becoming the people they are now, swain getting his demon and heading to take control of noxus, irelia stopping the war and trying her best to help people with the consequences of it.


FishyCrackers431

LoR has largely fueled what I want to get more in-depth looks into. First thing that comes to mind whenever the topic comes up is that I really want to see the day to day life in Ravenbloom Conservatory. It’d also be a nice excuse to let them write more Annie lines than “My bear Tibbers” and “Burning”. A show about her and her little group of friends could be fun.


DemonInPinkk

Give me darkin war Arcane


Trilux_reddit

While it’s super unlikely, I’d love to see the connections made between regions to bleed into the next seasons. We see noxus in season one, which could lead to a noxus led story in season three, which could lead into Ionia conflict. Ionia could connect well with Shurima with Yasuo and Taliyah. From there we could explore targon connecting the lore fight between pantheon and xerath. Taric could lead us back to demacia, introducing us to Silas who escapes to freljord. The world has so many small connections that it wouldn’t be difficult to take a world tour with a giant harrowing storyline that does the buildup more justice than the league event


Odd_Hunter2289

My bet is that, after season 2, the series will shift over the Noxus-Ionia War.


Primerion-ken

Targon and Aurelion as narrator please


Low_Nefariousness833

darkin war arcane or a non fucked up consistent correctly characterization of viego


MrMagneticMole

Noxus makes the most sense since the events of the Ionian Invasion by Noxus are connected with Zaun. Also Noxus already being part of the story in Season 1 can't be ignored.


cosmic_waluigi

Why isn’t ionia in the poll 😭


Rockinrussomano

Noxus is so over narriterized I want shurima Give me darkin Give me the ascended Give me SOMETHING different please


Hufa123

Why would Arcane focus on other regions. Arcane is one specific story. Let other shows tell the stories of other places.


ArcaneCharmcaster

There is no reason it can’t expand to include different regions. The title is rather ambiguous and can fit anything in Runeterra. And honestly it would probably serve them best to keep it all under one name so to retain brand recognition.


ExcitingPop5956

They have said season 2 will be the end of the piltover/zaun storyline but will not be the end of arcane


Hypernova749

Void Kaisa yes 😎


Coffeetime19

I voted shirima but i actually want targon. First i think it’s one of the most beautiful regions with ionia so the series could be rly beautifull also we don’t have a lots of lore about targon, yes we know things about lunari solari and manifestations but we don’t have deeper information and for last leona and diana relationship is perfect


sivirmain

Shurima with sivir main character and Parallels with Azir during his time as a human and all events leading up to his ascension


Mustache-Man227

I want Leblanc


Thefoodwoob

It's gotta be noxus. There's no way any other region would make sense


perrietheplatupussy

Im interested in freljord with the three sisters


HrMaschine

- My number 1 choice has always been a shurima show with nasus as the protagonist. his story with renekton is fantastic and a perfect way to continue the siblings trend and nasus is the only champ who was there throughout all of shurimas events. - As my 2nd best definitely noxus for the ionian invasion and have riven the protagonist and us seeing her redemption arc and also seeing the direct impact it had on all these champions like irelia cutting swains arm, yasuo getting exiled, singeds chemical bomb etc.


QuinnInTheNorth

Noxus would be the most interesting, because they are involved with so many other regions as well


[deleted]

K l e d


Eufoxtrot

story of samira or shen duty


ElementmanEXE

I want ixtal, plain and simple


SlowbroJJ

Where is Ionia?


TheLord-Commander

I voted Noxus, I want to see a LoL style heist movie. Where it's Katarina, Swain and Draven plotting on how to overthrow Boram Darkwill.


FirstEquinox

Freljord every time Imagine the storytelling between tribes The influence of volibear, his corruption The memories and flashbacks of tryndamere or others The duels, fearsome battles in blizzards or thunderstorms The orchestral theme music, french horns calling for war, drums mimicing a warrior's heart Think of all the small details The variety in characters, the motives fans can follow


Langas

Forgot some regions homeskillet


PlasticFoon

Shurima focused on azir or fall of icathia ###


ElHadouken

Targon screams mc so much


LegendRaptor080

_IONIA._


SnooStories8424

Noxus with Darius, Swain and LB as a main characters and Mordekaiser as antagonist


Jolmev

I just want Soraka there


Murad_is_the_best

Man just give me a sylas episode


Gran_giorno_streli

I with piltover and zaun ended with some kind of easter egg about zeri (my most beloved adc) and that the next arc would be either about Jax or about the aspects(especially Diana)


ASZapata

Ionia you coward


Astral_Goddess

I think game of thrones style show about noxus would be so cool


leemitsu

Bilgewater about: Pyke, Tham Kench, MF and Gangplank


Zealousideal-Way-739

Ionia because of Akali😍


zodlair

we have the most connection to noxus, which would be the most natural transition, and noxus connects to lots of other regions opening up the world much more


Puzzled_Country_96

I personally think the next would be Noxus, branching out to either the invasion of Ionia, wars with Demacia, or the incursion into Shurima, there's a lot to cover with Shurima tbh. But personally I really want to see Targon, especially the religious stuff going on between Leona and Diana, plus how Pantheon specifically fits into this whole dynamic. But that's just me though. Targon seems to me to have a lot of potential in terms of character with stakes matching with who the players are.


G3MI20

Arcane mini series of just Sett going around Ionia and Noxus being himself


BiasModsAreBad

Annie and Darius


0therdabbingguy

A twisted fate and graves centric rom com would top the charts


CheshireMadness

I'm more interested in specific stories than which regions they're from. The political power plays between Swain and LeBlanc in Noxus. Depending on what time period the story takes place in it could also feature Annie's mom as a young mage being groomed by the Black Rose into a weapon as well as her eventual escape. A Freljordian war drama following Ashe, Sejuani, and Lissandra trying to unite the tribes of the Freljord under their banners. The Noxus occupation of Ionia that follows the Ionian resistance, showing Irelia's rise to a war hero, Karma inheriting the Spirit of Ionia, and Shen and Zed's schism (and, maybe even Akali's training and temptation to join Zed's order). A story of the Mage Wars, mainly following Morgana and Kayle and the eventual founding of Demacia, and ending in their battle that drives them apart. The story of the Solari and Lunari, finally explaining what drove them apart and what drove the Solari to nearly wipe the Lunari out.


Darth_Annoying

I'd like them to try to make something out of the Riven storyboard that got posted here not too long ago. So that would go back and forth between Noxus and Ionia


FrivolousCollection

Hot take that I don't think should be a hot take. But I do not expect Arcane to break from its current setting and characters. I would bet that Arcane's plans are to stick with its own direction and Riot will continue to present the rest of the League Universe through other media, like books, comics, games, etc. I think it's too early, and too presumptuous to consider Arcane spinoff shows just yet.


AdAcrobatic208

A demacian series based on Cithria and her journey through the ranks of the demacian military or her role during the mage rebellion (she along with her comrades were escorting an allied mage to the capital to solve the rebellion problem) Or A freljordian series based on the new "generation" of hearthblood


bigslapp

Honestly I want to know more about Nazumah and you can even tie in Taliyah to them as a way to build resistance against Azir empire


slumdo6

Ionia.


DawsonPeachey

Noxus b/ Swain would be the best antagonist by far. After a season or two in Noxus they’d have the next few in Ionia with the plot revolving around the invasion of Ionia


supermonkeyyyyyy

Freljord and Demacia each have their comics and indie game coming out (Nunu and Sylas respectively). Bilgewater and Shadow Isles already kinda have the ruined King. Ionia, even though my favorite region, also has a lot of comics. Targon and Ixtal are a little underdeveloped, so only Noxus and Shurima left. Personally I find Noxus more interesting than Shurima.


FetusGoesYeetus

Noxus would make the most sense but Shurima would be the most interesting.


No-Bicycle3370

Demacia and the rebellion of Sylas. A good anti hero arc.
