Fae’lor

“The fortress of Fae’lor was built upon the westernmost island of Ionia. Highly defensible, this place had remained for centuries, standing against countless foes, before being finally overrun after a long siege during the Noxian invasion...  

Fae’lor, at the forgotten edge of the empire... 

Noxus had not won the war, of course… but nor had Ionia. 

Nevertheless, many seasons after the end of the campaign, Fae’lor remained under the invaders’ control. Thirty-three warships were currently docked here, as well as perhaps half that number of trader vessels and merchant ships. Over a thousand warriors of Noxus—a mix of veteran warbands hailing from the far corners of the empire—were stationed here...

Fae’lor was not originally intended as a fortress. Far from it, it was once a center of tranquility and guidance, where gifted young Ionians came, from far and wide, to learn how better to harness their own innate gifts. All that had ended years before Sirik had been born, and the island that had once been teeming with life, study and peace, became little more than a barren prison. Barely any vegetation grew on the island around the fortress now—only dry, brittle thorn-bushes and ghost-gray lichen was able to thrive. Birds and other wildlife, so abundant on the nearby islands, also shunned it now, except for the dark, hateful crows and ravens that had come with the Noxians.” - Excerpts from The Dreaming Cave  

Underneath Fae’lor was formerly Syndra’s prison.

This is one of the biggest developments in the knowledge of what is where when the narrative talks geographically in stories. We can understand geographical advantages and difficulties with much more ease since it is a topographical map with some geopolitical borders.

I will write about some locations, most notably the Noxian occupied Fae'lor in Ionia.
