ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS SERIES

The comic 'Paint the Town' (chronologically taking place way after Arcane) shows Heimerdinger himself operating under glamour, specifically because 'Yordles are often feared, hunted, and eliminated across Runeterra', which contradicts his status in this series where he's a publicly-known councilman of Piltover, whose yordle nature does cause some problems, but not to a degree that he'd need to disguise himself.

Following the game's 2013-14 Continuity Reboot, it was established that while yordles do interact with human civilization, usually it was incognito using magical glamour to conceal their nature note Factions like Ionia and Shurima were exceptions to this as societies there are more accepting of magic, but Piltover and Zaun are not among them. Yordles are fully acknowledged and accepted throughout Piltover and Zaun, which collides significantly with how they're usually depicted in League of Legends.Christian Linke and Alex Yee have stated in an interview that while Arcane is 'internally consistent and canon', it should not 'be considered a source truth over the game'. Adaptation Deviation: While Arcane implicitly frames itself as canon prequel to the League of Legends universe, it significantly deviates from - if not outright contradicts - previously established backstories in favor of telling its own insular story that roughly sets itself up to the 'present' shown in League.In Arcane's lore, he's a Posthumous Character remembered as an honorable and persevering (if explosion prone) scientist and good friend of Heimerdinger's. Adaptational Heroism: In the old lore, Stanwick Pididly was a thieving cheat who stole the credit for creating Blitzcrank from Viktor.21-Gun Salute: Evidently Enforcer funerals are like real world police funerals, complete with volleys.The show is primarily animated in 3D, with 2D animation used for specific effects such as smoke, explosions, and Jinx's hallucinations. As tensions in Piltover and the Undercity escalate and war seems like an inevitability, Vi and Powder each find themselves at the center of the conflict as the city hurtles towards a breaking point. Meanwhile, Jayce and Viktor, two gifted inventors, seek to revolutionize the city and the world itself by harnessing magic as a powerful new energy source. While the people of the Undercity struggle to survive and resist against Piltover's violent law enforcement, Silco, a ruthless crime lord with ambitions to raise the Undercity up into its own self-sufficient nation, begins to make himself known. Set in the technologically-advanced, aristocratic city of Piltover, Arcane follows orphaned sisters Vi and Powder as they grow up in the Undercity, Piltover's impoverished and polluted lower levels.

The show attempts to both be welcoming to newcomers who have no prior knowledge about the League of Legends universe, while also satisfying longtime fans. Arcane is a 2021 animated action-adventure series from Riot Games, and the first animated series set in the League of Legends universe.
