Pairing Ixtal with another region would almost certainly happen, regardless. Currently, Ixtal has six Champions, which is the least of any other existing region, and The Void has eight. Another key factor is the number of Champions available for each region. There is also a history between the two regions with the mages of Ixtal surviving encounters with The Void and afterwards, distancing themselves from the rest of the world. It still makes sense geographically that you would combine them.

When you look at Ixtal and The Void on the map you can see they are neighbors, although technically there's a small patch of Shurima between them. If you're Shurima or Ixtal I don't think either one of you wants to be this close to The Void. In that respect the image has some logic to it, so I tried to think of how an Ixtal & The Void combination would work as well. That's exactly the relationship between Piltover & Zaun, since one is built on top of the other. The Piltover & Zaun crest looks like it retains some of the gear aspects of the original Piltover, but appears to be a city with another structure inside of it. I'll share some of my thoughts on how this makes any sense.Īt first glance it doesn't look like elements of each image are there, but neither does the Piltover & Zaun crest, if you're just trying to combine them. That makes them the most likely candidates to belong to this unknown crest. If it's a combination of two existing regions, which ones would it be for? You may notice in the image that Ixtal and The Void are nowhere to be found.
It's a new crest for a combination region, like Piltover & Zaun.The next, and most interesting, thing that sticks out is the mystery crest for a region that doesn't currently exist in League of Legends. Does this mean that we are going to see cards specifically from Zaun or is this just a placeholder image leftover from initial testing before they decided to combine the two specifically for Legends of Runeterra? The first is that there's a crest for Zaun, which is already paired with Piltover in existing regions. There are a couple of interesting things about these images. I don't know if the order of images has any significance here, because they were not named or numbered, but could Bilgewater be the first new region to be released? It's a little difficult to see in this image, but none of the new regions have line strokes around them, so I would guess these are not the finalized ones that will be active in-game. After datamining some images in the client, we may have discovered a brand new combination region, like Piltover & Zaun. We already know that Legends of Runeterra will be adding more existing, and possibly new, regions to the current selection.
