'''Piltover''', also known as the '''City of Progress''', is a thriving, progressive city whose power and influence is on the rise. It is [[Valoran|Valoran's]] cultural center, where art, craftsmanship, trade and innovation walk hand in hand. Its power comes not through military might, but the engines of commerce and forward thinking. Situated on the cliffs above the district of {{fi|Zaun}} and overlooking the ocean, fleets of ships pass through its titanic sea-gates, bringing goods from all over the world. The wealth this generates has given rise to an unprecedented boom in the city's growth. Piltover has - and still is - reinventing itself as a city where fortunes can be made and dreams can be lived. Burgeoning merchant clans fund development in the most incredible endeavors: grand artistic follies, esoteric [[hextech]] research, and architectural monuments to their power. With ever more inventors delving into the emergent lore of hextech, Piltover has become a lodestone for the most skilled craftsmen the world over.

== History ==
=== Foundation ===
Roughly 200 years ago, the city-state of Piltover was founded to be a bastion of enlightenment, with its people standing united against the deadly arcane threats that existed beyond the city's borders.<ref name="102mysteries">{{ArcaneCiteEp|1x02}}</ref> As {{fi|Runeterra}} had cannibalized itself over power and pride, {{cbi|Heimerdinger|Cecil B. Heimerdinger}}, one of Piltover's founders, helped to guide the City of Progress over the next two centuries, becoming both head of the Council of Piltover and dean of Piltover Academy.<ref name="106walls">{{ArcaneCiteEp|1x06}}</ref><ref name="109monster">{{ArcaneCiteEp|1x09}}</ref>

=== Uprising at the Bridge of Progress ===
Over time, the disparity in wealth between Piltover's topside and its undercity, located across the [[Universe:Piltover#Locations|Bridge of Progress]] from its capital, culminated in an uprising led by the undercity revolutionaries {{cbi|Vander}} and {{cbi|Silco}}, who dreamed to establish their own independent nation of {{fi|Zaun}}. The uprising soon turned into a massacre as the rioters fought the {{fi|Piltover Enforcers}} at the bridge, leaving hundreds of Zaunites dead.<ref name="102mysteries"/><ref name="103base">{{ArcaneCiteEp|1x03}}</ref>

Having witnessed the civilian cost of war, Vander laid down his gauntlets and eventually struck a deal with the Enforcers, who were led by {{cbi|Grayson|Sheriff Grayson}}. In exchange for allowing the undercity their autonomy under Vander's de-facto rule, Vander would prevent his people from attacking topside.<ref name="101welcome">{{ArcaneCiteEp|1x01}}</ref>

=== The Era of Hextech ===
{{main|Arcane}}
==== Discovery of Hextech ====
Seven years before Piltover's bicentennial Progress Day, a rogue Academy student named {{cbi|Jayce|Jayce Talis}}, whose studies had been sponsored by {{fi|Kiramman Clan|Clan Kiramman}}, began secretly experimenting with a way to harness magic through science using hex crystals. A break-in by undercity robbers at his workshop caused one of his hex crystals to shatter, blowing up the entire workshop and causing the Enforcers to launch an investigation into his research. Heimerdinger's assistant, {{cbi|Viktor}}, confiscated the student's work, and Jayce was arrested for owning unauthorized materials.

Despite Heimerdinger's warnings, Jayce confessed to everything during the trial, claiming that his experiment was "revolutionary" despite the danger it posed. Unable to let him go without a punishment for violating the Ethos, the Council had Jayce expelled from the Academy. Viktor, however, had stolen back Jayce's research journal,<ref name="102mysteries"/> and after partnering up as inventors, the two of them broke into the Academy and completed Jayce's experiment, proving that [[Universe:Hextech|"hextech"]] could be safely utilized. After this, Councilor {{cbi|Mel|Mel Medarda}} declared her support for Jayce's research,<ref name="103base"/> and the rest of the Council eventually followed.

The case to capture the thieves at Jayce's workshop eventually went cold. Grayson was killed under mysterious circumstances in the undercity, and her deputy, {{cbi|Marcus}}, eventually replaced her as the new Sheriff of the Enforcers.<ref name="Caitlyn Files">[[Universe:The Council Archives/The Grand Conspiracy|The Council Archives: The Grand Conspiracy]]</ref><ref name="104progress">{{ArcaneCiteEp|1x04}}</ref> After a time, Piltover also became aware of an addictive, drug-like serum called [[Universe:Shimmer|shimmer]] and ran investigations into the [[Universe:Chem-Baron|crime lords]] who were distributing it. The investigations were led by Marcus, who secretly covered up the extent of the undercity's rising criminal enterprise.<ref name="107boy">{{ArcaneCiteEp|1x07}}</ref>

==== Piltovan Bicentennial ====
[[File:Jayce ArcaneInventorSkin.jpg|thumb|300px|{{cbi|Jayce}} holding a hextech gemstone]]
{{Quote|''"We are the City of Progress and our future is bright!"''|{{cbis|Jayce}} speech during the celebration|[[Happy Progress Day!]]}}
After the construction of the [[Universe:Piltover#Locations|Hexgate]] had made Piltover into a hub for global shipping and trade, Jayce was selected by the Council to be the keynote speaker for the celebration of Piltover's bicentennial Progress Day. Jayce and Viktor had invented a brand new hextech gemstone which they had hoped to make public along with number of other prototypes, but Heimerdinger advised them that their inventions still needed more safeguards against misuse, convincing Jayce not to go ahead with the presentation. Later that day, an explosion on the Academy Square caused by an {{cbi|Jinx|undercity terrorist}} left several enforcers dead or injured, and she stole the gemstone before escaping back into Zaun. In response to the attack, the Piltover Council voted to elevate Jayce to their august body as a councilor so that he would have access to the proper security measures to safeguard the city's hextech operations against any future attack in the brewing crisis.<ref name="104progress"/>

One of the enforcers who had been caught in the attack on the Academy Square was {{cbi|Caitlyn|Caitlyn Kiramman}}, the daughter of {{cbi|Cassandra|Councilor Kiramman}}. Although her mother and the Sheriff resisted her efforts, Caitlyn became convinced of an underground conspiracy led by a secret {{cbi|Silco|mastermind}}, who was pulling the strings of a hidden criminal empire. After traveling to [[Universe:Piltover#Locations|Stillwater Hold]] with a number of forged documents, Caitlyn was able to continue her unsanctioned investigation with the help of {{cbi|Vi}}, a Zaunite criminal she had released to guide her through the undercity.<ref name="105enemy">{{ArcaneCiteEp|1x05}}</ref>

Under Councilor Medarda's guidance, Jayce gradually expanded his influence over the other councilors and important guild merchants. Around the same time, Jayce's partner, Viktor, learned he was terminally ill, and in his efforts to cure himself he invented a device called the {{ai|Arcane Storm|image=Viktor Arcane Storm 3.png|Viktor|hexcore}}, which had the capacity to augment organic matter. When Heimerdinger saw the hexcore, he believed it to be dangerous and immediately demanded its destruction, after which Jayce utilized his newfound support from the other councilors to convince them to vote Heimerdinger out of office, under the explanation that their leader had been unable to properly protect his people against the recent attacks.<ref name="106walls">{{ArcaneCiteEp|1x06}}</ref>

==== Conflict with Zaun ====
When Caitlyn and Vi returned from their investigation, the Sheriff, Marcus, was killed in another bombing at the Bridge of Progress, and the Council learned from the hidden documents in his office that he had secretly betrayed them. Caitlyn and Vi presented their findings to the Council, revealing the mastermind behind the attacks was an undercity crime lord named {{cbi|Silco}}, and that the gemstone thief and terrorist behind the attacks was named {{cbi|Jinx}}. Silco's ultimate goal remained an independent nation of Zaun, and fearing he might weaponize the stolen gemstone to achieve this, Jayce and Vi went on an unsanctioned raid on one of Silco's shimmer factories, armed with the hextech {{ai|Transform Mercury Hammer|Jayce|Mercury Hammer}} and {{ai|Relentless Force|Vi|Atlas Gauntlets}}.<ref name="108oil">{{ArcaneCiteEp|1x08}}</ref>

[[File:01PZ040T1 Arcane-full.png|thumb|400px|{{cbi|Jinx}} firing her {{ai|Super Mega Death Rocket!|Jinx|rocket}} at the Council]]

The shimmer raid was a success, and after the dust had settled, Jayce met with Silco personally to discuss their terms for peace. Jayce offered Silco the undercity's independence as "the nation of Zaun" in exchange for the complete dismantlement of shimmer, the return of the hextech gemstone, and the arrest of Jinx, and after laying out his terms, Jayce returned to the Piltover Council so they could approve the treaty. Initially, most of the Council opposed granting Zaun their independence, but with Mel's support, he managed to convince each of them, one by one, until the vote was unanimous. However, at the exact moment it seemed war had been averted, the chamber was suddenly struck by a {{ai|Super Mega Death Rocket!|Jinx|rocket}} fired from Jinx's newly-completed hextech weapon {{ai|Fishbones|Jinx}},<ref name="109monster"/> killing Councilors {{cbi|Bolbok}}, {{cbi|Hoskel}}, and {{cbi|Cassandra|Kiramman}}, and severely injuring most of the others.

In the aftermath, Jayce abandoned his Council duties to tend to a comatose Viktor, leaving Mel, {{cbi|Salo}}, and {{cbi|Shoola}} as the only remaining councilors. Although they received news of Silco's death, a majority of the Council now pushed for an invasion of Zaun, believing the threat had not yet been pacified. After a second attack at the memorial for the fallen councilors, this one led by {{cbi|Renni}}, the Council came to rely on the {{fi|Noxus|Noxian}} warband of General {{cbi|Ambessa|Ambessa Medarda}} for their defense, as Caitlyn Kiramman led a strike team into Zaun to capture Jinx and wipe out the remnants of Silco's collapsing criminal empire.<ref name="201heavy">{{ArcaneCiteEp|2x01}}</ref> Caitlyn and Vi employed brutal tactics in their fight against the [[Universe:Chem-Baron|chembarons]], such as new hextech weapons and the weaponization of the Zaun Gray, and they posted a bounty on Jinx in hopes that several of Silco's loyalists would turn on her.

However, even as Caitlyn dismantled the chembarons' operations, Jinx remained elusive and when she escaped after their battle, one of her bombs unleashed an enormous, gaseous blast of the Gray from the underground that colored all of topside with splatters of paint, harming civilians in the process. Councilor Salo later arranged a meeting of the mercantile clans of Piltover, and Ambessa used the terrorist attacks and the recent assassination of the guild merchant {{cbi|Amara}} as an excuse to declare martial law. Ambessa nominated Caitlyn as the city's commander to rule in the Council's place,<ref name="203finally">{{ArcaneCiteEp|2x03}}</ref> and with their general appointed, she lent her entire Noxian force to Piltover's disposal, occupying Zaun for the next several months.<ref name="204paint">{{ArcaneCiteEp|2x04}}</ref>

==== Martial Law Period ====
[[File:Caitlyn ArcaneCommanderSkin.jpg|thumb|300px|{{cbi|Caitlyn}} leading the Enforcers]]
Piltover remained under martial law for several months, with the Enforcers establishing checkpoints and continuing their manhunt for Jinx. Meanwhile, Ambessa attempted to perfect the development of hextech weapons, which was hindered by the disappearances of Jayce and Heimerdinger. Even though Jinx herself had vanished from the public eye after her final attack using the Gray, an anarchist rebel group adopted her colors and continued to fight back against the occupation, calling themselves the "Jinxers" and viewing her as a symbol for their liberation.

Rumors of Jinx's return began to circulate, however, and believing one of these "Jinxers" might know where to find her, they busted a Zaunite rally, arresting numerous of her sympathizers and sending them to Stillwater Hold. After this, Stillwater was attacked twice within a short period—first by Jinx, who freed the prisoners, and then by {{cbi|Warwick}}, who savagely murdered a number of the enforcers and prisoners in the hallways.<ref name="204paint"/> Warwick and Jinx both escaped after the rampage, and to ensure the trail would not go cold, Ambessa recruited the beast's creator, {{cbi|Singed}}, to track Warwick down.<ref name="205blisters">{{ArcaneCiteEp|2x05}}</ref>

Caitlyn, Ambessa, and Singed eventually found Warwick in a massive underground commune in the fissures, which was ruled by Viktor, who had been transformed by the hexcore into a magic healer. Ambessa intended to capture Warwick and use him as a weapon of war, but when Caitlyn unexpectedly ran into Vi at the commune, she learned that the beast was actually Vi's father, Vander, and that she was trying to save his life. After hearing this, Caitlyn decided to help Warwick and turned on Ambessa, who invaded and destroyed the commune with her Noxian warband.<ref name="206message">{{ArcaneCiteEp|2x06}}</ref> Caitlyn and Vi then reunited with a disheveled Jayce, who had returned after several months and helped them escape back to Piltover. Jinx also turned herself in to the authorities, but she would later be released by Vi.<ref name="208killing">{{ArcaneCiteEp|2x08}}</ref>

==== Battle at the Hexgate ====
Caitlyn, still the city's commander, received news that Ambessa's warships were mounting an invasion of the Hexgate, and she and Jayce mounted the city's defense by enacting a call to arms and evacuation. Ambessa had joined forces with Viktor, who had "evolved" into a fully biomechanical Herald of the Arcane and amassed an army of sleek, mechanical puppets that he could control directly under his will. Jayce claimed that if Viktor reached the Hexgate, then all of Piltover would be destroyed, so their primary war aim was to kill him.

Although Piltover was betrayed by a [[Universe:Maddie|member in their ranks]], the Enforcers were suddenly rescued by Jinx and {{cbi|Ekko}}, who led a massive Zaunite force from atop a mechanical war balloon. At the steps, Caitlyn and Mel managed to defeat and kill Ambessa, while Jayce and Viktor fought within the Hexgate. At the top of the tower, Ekko managed to subdue Viktor long enough for Jayce to get through to him, and when they destroyed the Glorious Evolution, Jayce and Viktor disintegrated into his acceleration rune, sacrificing themselves to save the city.

After the battle, a funeral was held for everyone who had fallen. Mel Medarda left the city for her homeland of Noxus, and Caitlyn officially ended martial law, instating a new Council with {{cbi|Sevika}} as the representative for the undercity. Jinx, the most wanted criminal in Piltover, disappeared after the battle, with the authorities presuming her dead after the explosion in the Hexgate. Caitlyn later ran an investigation into the Hexgate ventilation schematics, suggesting she doubted if Jinx was truly gone for good.<ref name="209dirt">{{ArcaneCiteEp|2x09}}</ref>

== Locations ==

</center>
Piltover is a city-state located on an isthmus between [[Valoran]] and [[Shuriman Continent|Shurima]]. It is a city of golden, ivory structures that protrude high above the clouds, towering over the rest of the city, with the important Sun Gate canal running through its center, with a number of bridges, including the Bridge of Progress, connecting the city's two halves. The city's most prominent feature in the city's north is the Hexgate, which has become a symbol of the city's progress as well as the focal point of Piltovan trade supremacy. {{fi|Zaun}} lies to the south of Piltover across the bridge, with a number of deep, canyon-like fissures serving as the basis for a bustling underground society. Piltover and Zaun exist as heavily interconnected and symbiotic societies, with Piltover resting primarily on the Valoran half, and Zaun existing on the Shuriman half. This divide is not only geographic, but also economic and cultural, driving the two cities into conflict on numerous occasions.

The central district of Piltover, where the majority of its population, academia, cafes, markets, and law enforcement are located, as well as the city's most notable landmarks. Progress Day celebrations and fairs are hosted in this location, but its proximity to {{fi|Zaun}} makes it vulnerable to terrorist attacks.
*'''Bridge of Progress:''' One of the main bridges connecting northern and southern parts of the city. It is the primary location where numerous undercity rebellions occurred, as well as a bombing attack from {{cbi|Jinx}} that resulted in the deaths of many enforcers and began city wide lockdowns.
*'''Piltover Academy:''' The massive central building in the northernmost part of Piltover, adorned with statues of the City of Progress's founders. It serves as both the city's primary seat of government and its university, with its brightest scholars being brought to this location from across both Piltover and the world.
**'''Academy Square:''' A large square located in the heart of Piltover outside the Academy entrance, where Progress Day fairs are usually held. The square was attacked by {{cbi|Jinx}} in a bombing on the bicentennial Progress Day, killing six enforcers and leading {{cbi|Caitlyn}} to pursue her in an investigation.
**'''Council Archives:''' A place where records are kept. These archives are not always complete, with some records of {{cbi|Heimerdinger}} and {{cbi|Viktor}} being withheld or even scrubbed clean without explanation.<ref name="Viktor biography"/>
**'''Council Chamber:''' The Piltovan seat of government, it is a massive circular chamber located at the center of the Academy's top floor, with a circular table at the center of it meant to hold the city's seven councilors. The Piltover Council chamber is used to call assemblies, hold policy discussions and trials, and to vote on motions. The chamber was destroyed in a terrorist attack by {{cbi|Jinx}}, but the table and outer wall were later rebuilt in the months following the bombing.
**'''Heimerdinger's Laboratory:''' A large office on the Academy's upper floors, to be used by the Dean of the Academy, {{cbi|Heimerdinger|Professor Cecil B. Heimerdinger}}. The professor's lab is equipped with several workbenches, massive bookshelves, mechanical equipment and windows, as well as a desk and staircases next to the tall windows. It was here that {{cbi|Jayce}} and {{cbi|Viktor}} successfully invented [[Universe:Hextech|hextech]].
**'''Jayce and Viktor's Laboratory:''' A large room in the Academy building where {{cbi|Jayce}} and {{cbi|Viktor}} came up with some of their most famous inventions during the golden era of hextech.
**'''Statues:''' Statues of Piltover's most esteemed minds, found near the top of the Academy building. Among them are some of Piltover's greatest teachers, like {{cbi|Heimerdinger}} and {{cbi|Stanwick|Stanwick Pididly}}.
*'''Clock Tower:''' A clock tower by the Bridge of Progress. It is considerably smaller than the clock face near the top of the Hexgate.
*'''Councilors Memorial:''' A memorial dedicated to Councilors {{cbi|Bolbok}}, {{cbi|Hoskel}}, and {{cbi|Cassandra|Kiramman}} after they were killed in {{cbis|Jinx}} attack.
*'''Jayce's Apartment:''' A {{fi|Kiramman Clan|Kiramman}} workshop located on the Academy grounds where a young {{cbi|Jayce}} began his illegal [[Universe:Hextech|hextech]] research. After a robbery by Zaunite thieves, the materials exploded, destroying the apartment's outer wall.
*'''Northern Docks:''' Located near the Hexgate. The warships of {{cbi|Ambessa|Ambessa Medarda}} first docked here, and would dock here again during her invasion of the city.
*'''Piltover Gazette:''' A reputable Piltovan newspaper with unexpectedly superb back catalogs.<ref name="Viktor biography">[[Herald of the Arcane]]</ref>
*'''Piltover Police Department:''' Headquarters for the {{fi|Piltover Enforcers}}. The building was equipped with tubes from which scrolls with messages and security requests could be sent to the Sheriff.
*'''Talis Home:''' A humble home where {{cbi|Jayce}} and his mother lived. He kept a portrait of his father in his room next to the hexite stones by his window.
*'''Talis Forge:''' A massive forge where Jayce would smelt iron and craft powerful hextech devices, including his {{ai|Transform Mercury Hammer|Jayce|Mercury Hammer}} and {{cbis|Caitlyn}} rifle.
*'''Viktor's Home:''' {{cbis|Viktor}} home during his time as {{cbis|Heimerdinger}} assistant and then an inventor, before he moved back to Zaun. It was located next to the Academy, though Viktor would often sleep in his laboratory instead of going back there.

=== Hexgate ===
<gallery type=slideshow widths=300>
Piltover Arcane Hexgates.jpg|The Hexgate
Arcane_S01E04_Concept_03.jpg|Airship Dock
</gallery>
The Hexgate tower is the tallest in all of Piltover, constructed by Jayce and Viktor at the request of the Piltover Council during the golden era of [[Universe:Hextech|hextech]]. The Hexgate is used for realm warping people, vehicles, and cargo to their desired destinations across Runeterra, making it an iconic feature the city's skyline while also revolutionizing trade, commerce, and academia by connecting Piltover to the rest of the world. It charts its course by using a rotatable globe of Runeterra at the top of the tower. Each jump requires hexite batteries to be replaced. Due to its elevation, only airships can utilize it.
*'''Airship Dock:''' Airships could dock at the Hexgate, where inspectors would check goods and have them sent to other parts of Runeterra. People could also travel using the airships, but it was also a site of smuggling operations, leading to destructive battles between {{cbi|Silco}} and the {{fi|Firelights}}.
*'''Hexheart:'''<ref name="ArtArcane">{{w|Elisabeth Vincentelli}}, [https://www.artofarcane.com/pages/arcane-47.jpg ''The Art and Making of Arcane - League of Legends''. <small>p. 47</small>] (November 2024), San Rafael, California, Editorial ''Insight Editions'', First edition, <small>ISBN: 979-8-88663-335-1</small>.</ref> An enormous locked chamber located far underground at the very bottom of the Hexgate, which contained the mesh's hexite energy cells within a large, dome-like console at the very center. Overuse of the Hexgate led to the creation of a massive Anomaly around the power cells, which became the source of cosmic temporal and environmental corruption.

=== New Piltover ===
The eastern, more sparsely populated part of Piltover, built across the canal from {{fi|Zaun}}.
*'''The Sun Gates:''' An important canal connecting the easternmost part of the river to a sea to the south, splitting Zaun from Piltover and {{fi|Shurima}} from {{fi|Valoran}}. The canal serves as a vital connection between eastern and western sea routes, giving Piltover economic leverage over larger nations, including {{fi|Noxus}} during the reign of {{cbi|Boram Darkwill}}. Although the canal's tariffs were profitable for Piltover, they were also a detriment, as they encouraged the Noxians to seize territory near [[Kumangra]] and build up their military presence in [[Bel'zhun]] so they could lower these rates by force.<ref name="Ambessa novel">[[Universe:Ambessa: Chosen of the Wolf|Ambessa: Chosen of the Wolf]]</ref> The canal also has several gutters that run into Zaun.<ref name="101welcome"/>

*'''City Walls:''' A series of walls on the western and eastern borders of Piltover and Zaun. One of these walls, where {{cbi|Jayce}} and {{cbi|Silco}} met for their negotiation, is decorated with old cannons and overlooks the sea and the Hexgate.
*'''The Cliff:''' A tall industrial cliffside towering far above the Sump on the Zaunite side, where polluted water is spilled from the pipes in a series of waterfalls. {{cbi|Viktor}} would often come here to ruminate in the mechanical tunnels.

A prison located on an island off the southeastern coast of Piltover and Zaun, which holds many of the city's most dangerous criminals. It is accessible either by boat or by taking massive mechanical trams across the water. The prison goes down at least 40 levels, but is known to go even lower, with cells so deep and dark that the light never reaches them. There is a cafeteria where prisoners go to eat together, and the warden was known to send enforcers down to beat them up. The prisoners are also given tasks, such as cleaning the roof, around the prison and have time allotted for mandatory exercise. Prisoners are able to get tattoos and piercings inside.

They are a sentient feline race resembling ''{{w|Felis catus}}'' that reside both on [[Runeterra]] as well as [[Bandle City]]. While they have the physical appearance of regular real world house cats, they possess human or above human intelligence, being able to think of complex ideas and inventions. {{LoR|Professor von Yipp}} is a cat that is able to create {{LoR|Catastrophe|giant mechs}} and {{LoR|Subpurrsible|submarines}}, while {{cbi|Yuumi}} possesses magical abilities with the help of {{cbi|Book of Thresholds}}.

=== Pitover Shaddocks ===
{{quote|{{sm2|VO_CitrusCourier_ability_06.ogg}}''"{{fi|Piltover}} shaddock - is ok."''|{{LoR|Citrus Courier}}}}
Piltover is home to its own variety of {{w|citrus}} {{w|fruit}}, similar to a real-world {{w|Pomelo}}, a large bitter-sweet fruit with a thick rind. The etymology of the name of these fruit in the {{Univ|Runeterra Prime}} universe is unknown, as the name 'Shaddock' actually comes from the name of the captain who introduced the ''Pomelo'' to {{w|Barbados}}. The fruit are described in decent regard by {{cbis|Gangplank}} {{LoR|Citrus Courier}}.

[[File:01PZ020-full.png|thumb|300px|A {{LoR|Daring Poro|daring Poro}} being fired out of a [[#Progress Day|Progress Day]] cannon.]]

{{ui|Poro|Poros}} are the mysterious, magical, and most-loved creatures originating from the [[Howling Abyss]]. Poros are equal parts truth, valor, and innocence. The colour of their fur is described as “very light blue, like {{fi|Freljord|Freljordian}} snow”. They have a heart-shaped underbelly because they're made of love. A poro's horns perk up when it's excited and droop down when it's scared. Poros paddle through deep snow with their front paws. Some believe that poros are indestructible. Poros stick their tongue out because they are incredibly warm. This is why they can survive the harsh cold environment of the [[Howling Abyss]]. {{ii|Poro-Snax}} are frosted with Freljordian ice crystals and are a favourite treat of this creature. The leader of the Poros is known as the {{ui|Poro King}}.

Trade is the lifeblood of Piltover, and its command of the main sea-route between east and west has seen its coffers swell with gold. A consequence of this has been the rapid expansion of the [[Noxus|Noxian]] empire, whose armies and supplies can now travel the length and breadth of [[Valoran]] with relative ease. It has also allowed [[Bilgewater]] to prosper as a haven for pirates and reavers who prey on ships traveling to and from Piltover. The climate around Piltover is generally balmy, but when the temperature changes rapidly, sea fogs often envelop the docks and warehouses. The quaysides of Piltover are always busy, and anyone with a strong back and the will to work can easily find employment. A hundred accents are heard on the wharfside streets at any given time, and scores of ships from every port pass through the Sun Gates every day.

[[File:Piltover Trade And Progress.jpg|thumb|center|640px|<center>Trade And Progress</center>]]
The cosmopolitan nature of Piltover makes its inhabitants as varied as their city, but there remains a particular character to its people. A citizen of Piltover is typically self-reliant, does not expect handouts, and always aspires to do better. They are averse to meddling from outsiders, and see an open and free market as essential to the city's continued prosperity. As much as the citizens of Piltover and Zaun like to pretend they are separate entities, both are far more intertwined than they might openly admit, having strong biological and cultural ties to one another.

Being connected, both Piltover and Zaun have formed similar writing systems and numerals used throughout the two cities.
While having a common writing system used for general communication, a specific writing system, both elegant and rough, is used for numerous applications. Its symbols are used for alchemical works and scientific equations.

The cities use several different numerical symbols for its mathematical and time measurements. This is due to Piltover and Zaun being key trading hubs for both north and south continents. However, the common numerals used in Piltover and Zaun resemble that of {{w|Roman numerals}}. 

The writing system as seen in {{tip|Arcane}} is [[:File:Ekko concept 36.jpg|based]] on several letters and numerals originally revealed in {{cbis|Ekko}} concept art. {{cbis|Jinx}} writing as shown in the [[Universe:The Council Archives/The Adventures of Jinx|Council Archives]] is different from the one written by or for {{cbi|Jayce}}, {{cbi|Vi}}, and {{cbi|Caitlyn}}. It resembles yordle writing of {{fi|Bandle City}} with similar wavey and spiral letters. It is unclear where she learned this writing or why its different from the most commonly presented Piltover and Zaun writing system, despite the considerable yordle population in those cities.

Piltover's newer structures are graceful mixtures of polished marble, latticework bronze and shimmering glass that sit alongside older building of hewn stone and weathered timber. Fluted towers inlaid with gold and silver reach for the clear skies, as arching bridges span the chasms between the clifftops. The entrances to mercantile buildings are often incredibly elaborate. Even those dwellings that predate hextech have since been ornamented with elaborate details to further reinforce the impression that Piltover is a city drowning in gold.
The interior of Piltover's buildings are no less ornate than outside, and are often marvels of technological ingenuity in their own right.

Fashions quickly rise and fall in the salons of Piltover, and while most tastes tend toward formal and functional, there are those who push the boundaries of good taste and common sense with their overly elaborate displays of wealth. There are also those that augment their bodies either from necessity or for showcasing their progressive and/or wealthy status in the community. There is a distinct difference between the appearance of Piltover and Zaun augments. Piltover's are more flamboyant in their craftmanship, often adorned with elements of gold and blue arcane crystals, while Zaun's were born more of the necessity and practicality of its environment and often have crude details, with the elements of toxic green colours heavily featured in the most augmented individuals.

=== Tools ===
* '''Piano:''' A musical instrument used for both public and private entertainment.
* '''[[Tellstones]]:''' A variant of Tellstones called '''"King's Gambit"''' is played in {{fi|Demacia}}. It is named after a Demacian King Santon the Great. King Santon of Demacia avoided civil war with a game of Tellstones, saving thousands of lives. Despite the game's popularity across Runeterra, no one seems to know where Tellstones originated. There is a variant of Tellstones played by the {{fi|Dauntless Vanguard}} and they use it to settle disputes within the ranks.
* '''Valdiani:''' An intricate, expensive type of music box that {{cbi|Jayce}} used to own, which {{cbi|Jinx}} later stole from him.

Mythos=
=== Church of the Glorious Evolved ===
{{main|Herald of the Arcane}}
[[File:Ekko Seconds Concept 04.jpg|thumb|300px|Statue of the Gloriously Evolved <br><small>(by Riot Artist [[Gabriel Yeganyan]])</small>]]
{{quote|{{sm2|Viktor Select.ogg}}''"Join the glorious evolution."''|{{cbi|Viktor}}}}

{{cbis|Viktor}} cult was founded deep in the fissures of {{fi|Zaun}}, after he began using his powers of the hexcore to magically transmutate human flesh in a process called [[Universe:Magical Alteration|"hexcorization"]] as a means to heal all sicknesses and injuries, and to remove human emotions and vices. After witnessing the miracles of which he was capable, Viktor accrued a large number of disciples who came to view him as a messianic figure. Their underground society flourished in perfect peace and harmony, and primarily took in the sick, seeing the transformation of their dying flesh as a way to renew oneself in the Herald's image. Some in Piltover would even travel to Zaun to join the Herald in his pursuit of perfection, and towards achieving humanity's final, {{ai|Glorious Evolution|Viktor}}.

After Viktor's commune was destroyed by the {{fi|Noxus|Noxian}} general {{cbi|Ambessa|Ambessa Medarda}}, the cult became little more than puppets to his will. As the Herald rose again, these followers were all transformed into an army of [[golem]]s and became aggressive towards Piltover, assisting in an invasion of the city to forcefully absorb all of humanity into their hivemind. It is currently unknown if the cult still exists following the destruction of the hexcore and Viktor's followers.

=== Tahm Kench ===
{{main|The River King}}
Once the Sun Gates opened easy trade from {{fi|Bilgewater}} to Piltover, tales of {{cbi|Tahm Kench}} became more common in gilded wagering tables of Piltover and Zaun. There, children know Tahm as “Two-Coats,” a fish so monstrously large that he wears two fine jackets stitched together. With a jaunty top hat and a smile wider than the Pilt itself, he drives the jealousies of young artificers. All those who have given a covetous glance to another’s wealth know the unending hunger that comes from an encounter with the River King.

|-|
Festivals=
=== Jubilee ===
[[File:Piltover The Jubilee.jpg|thumb|300px|The Jubilee]]
A local festival dating back several thousand years, the Jubilee has been celebrated every quarter century to give thanks for the sea and the bounty it brings. For modern Piltovans, this is a quaint and happy excuse for traditionally themed feasting. For Zaunites, it has become a more somber observance.

=== Progress Day ===
''For the story, see [[Progress Day]]. For the {{tip|Legends of Runeterra}} card, see [[LoR:Progress Day!]].''
[[File:01PZ049-full.png|thumb|200px|A Progress Day firework in the shape of the '''Piltover''' crest ({{LoR|code=01PZ049|01PZ049}})]]
Progress Day is an annual festival of Piltover and Zaun. The main focus of this event is the celebration of the city's technological progress. On this day, many awards and promotions are given to the brightest minds from all across Runeterra who are willing to contribute to the advancement of the city, as well as the showcase of new innovations all across the city.

In Piltover, Progress Day marks both the city's foundation and the moment the Sun Gates opened for the first time, allowing trade to pass easily between the east and west of Valoran. It also marks the moment when taxation on that trade turned the trickle of gold entering the city's coffers into a fast flowing river. But below in Zaun, it is a day to remember those lost in the geological upheaval that created the east–west passage and submerged entire districts underwater. 

This day is also when Piltover's apprentas are received on auditions in the Mercantile Clans, the best of the best are selected to join the rich positions of the clan, working with the best Piltover can offer.

=== Roguery Night ===
Roguery Night is a barely tolerated annual tradition where youthful girls and boys throughout Piltover play practical jokes on their family and neighbors.

== Government ==
<tabber>
General=
In order to improve the city-state's social and environmental well-being, clans constantly strive to implement their nation's rapid scientific innovations. While a greater flow of traffic and profit may not be their sole motivation, more recently Clan Medarda has convinced them to invest a fortune into harnessing the power of hextech, to speed the opening and closing of the Sun Gates. Since the citizens tend to be keen and idealistic, to date there has been little opposition voiced.

Piltover is also one among Valoran's least militarized city-states, and also one of its most trusting. Despite that, the city boasts a warship squadron for the protection of the Sun Gates.

=== Council of Piltover ===
[[File:Piltover Arcane Council.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Piltover Council]]
The Piltover Council is an august body that represents the City of Progress's richest and most influential mercantile clans. There had been seven set seats on the Council and some such as {{cbi|Heimerdinger}} have served on the Council since the city's founding. When [[Zaun]] stole a [[hextech]] gemstone and hextech research, the Council feared that Zaun could weaponize hextech against Piltover. Although irregular, the Council voted to elevate House Talis and grant {{cbi|Jayce|Jayce Talis}} the eighth seat on the Council—since they believed Jayce's scientific expertise would suffice in securing the city. It's also possible to vote a Council member out of the Council although the motion would have to be unanimous.

=== Piltover Academy ===
The Academy is prestigious institution run by the dean, where the city's brightest young minds are brought to be cultivated in the pursuit of progress. The Academy building is a notable landmark in Piltover's north, and Academy property extends across the Academy Square and many buildings which house workshops for its students.

==={{fi|Piltover Police Department}}===
[[File:Piltover Police Crest.png|thumb|110px|Piltover Police Seal]]
The Piltover Police Department, also known as the Enforcers or Wardens, are the men and women tasked with maintaining the rule of law in Piltover. The organization is funded by trade taxes and 'voluntary' contributions from the mercantile clans, outfitting their officers with uniforms and equipment. Many of these donations take the form of unique hextech, such as specialized weaponry or other devices.

=== Piltovan Bureau of Safety Inspections ===
This Safety Bureau is tasked at monitoring and regulating all building activities within Piltover. Unregulated hardware is confiscated and the individual is fined and/or imprisoned by Piltovan enforcement depending on the severity of the crime.

=== Piltover Explorers Guild ===

A guild meant for those Piltovians who hunger to see Runeterra and it's wonders for themselves. In order to get an official membership, one must present great archeology works, long lost artifacts or journals detailing journeys throughout Runeterra most mysterious places.

They are tasked at funding, monitoring, and acquiring archaeological artifacts from its guild members from across Runeterra. These artifacts are later used for research or placed in one of many Piltover museums.

</tabber>

== Relations ==
To the wealthy clans of Piltover, sea-borne trade is key to their continued wealth. Detailed knowledge of the ocean's many trade routes and city ports (as well as the people who control them) is jealously guarded and passed down only to worthy heirs. Over the years, Jago Medarda has sailed far and wide to secure Clan Medarda's fortune, and his well-traveled - and oft-amended - map offers many clues to those seeking their fortune upon the high seas.

==={{fi|Bilgewater}}===
As Runeterra's biggest black market, [[Bilgewater]] trades all manner of illicit hextech pilfered from Piltover. The Sun Gates allowed Bilgewater to prosper as a haven for pirates and reavers who prey on ships traveling to and from Piltover.

==={{fi|Demacia}}===
Piltover and [[Demacia]] may have their differences, but the two nations are on relatively friendly terms. Scientists from the City of Progress are usually welcomed inside Demacia. However, should the scientists wish to perform experiments there, they must first get clearance from Demacian officials.

==={{fi|Ixtal}}===
In recent times, [[Ixtal]]i have had an unwelcoming contact with the nation of Piltover. The Piltover Explorers Guild has delved into the Jungle in search of arcane treasures, only to vanish without a trace (due to the wildlife, or the Ixtali defending their borders). However, due to the actions of {{cbi|Qiyana}}, Piltover has found out about the existence of this hidden nation. 

==={{fi|Noxus}}===
As the most expansive nation on Runeterra, [[Noxus]] heavily relies on the crucial port of Piltover to connect its land in Valoran and its territory in northern Shurima. Due to the neutral city's strategic location, many Noxian shadow agents have infiltrated all levels of Piltover's society in order to prepare the empire for a possible future invasion, and Noxian forces would even be stationed in the city to help reestablish order after Piltover entered into a period of political and civil unrest. The invasion would finally occur at the tail end of the martial law period during {{cbis|Ambessa|Ambessa Medarda}} attack on the Hexgate.

==={{fi|Shurima}}===
Piltover trading families have close trading ties with the cities of Shurima, such as [[Kalamanda]], Urzeris, Nashramae, Tereshni, and Bel'Zhun. The City itself was built on top of an old Shuriman outpost known as Oshra Va'Zaun. Individuals, organizations, and trading families have frequently exploited the nations natural resources and Ancient Shuriman Tombs. The Piltover Explorers Guild is infamous for hiring explorers in search of old Shuriman artifacts and relics.

==={{fi|Zaun}}===
Piltover and Zaun are considered sister cities which share a deep historical, social, and cultural symbiosis, but have been driven to conflict due to political and economic unrest. The common sentiment in Zaun is their people have been left behind by Piltover, whose gilded towers and pursuit of progress has led them to forget and neglect the underground, who is left with their runoff. Under the [[Universe:Chem-Baron|chembaron]] {{cbi|Silco}}, Zaun gained a significant level of autonomy and there were even talks towards granting Zaun its independence; a deal which ultimately fell through, leading to a period of chaos in which {{cbi|Jinx}} and {{cbi|Caitlyn}} would trade blows by attacking each other's cities. Currently, Zaun has not gained its independence from Piltover, having forged a tentative peace after preventing a {{cbi|Viktor|cataclysmic event}} at the Hexgate.

== Trivia ==
<tabber>
General=
[[File:Piltover profileicon.png|thumb|200px]]
* Piltover was inspired by {{w|Cyberpunk_derivatives#Decopunk|Decopunk}} and {{w|Steampunk}} fantasy genres.
** Most of Piltover's interiors have a distinct {{w|Art Deco}} style to them, while the exterior architecture is a mix between Art Deco and Steampunk. This mix between artistic styles can clearly seen on the crest of The Piltover Police Department as well as the {{tip|Arcane}} series.<ref>[https://netflixqueue.com/arcane-explodes-possibilities The Art of Arcane: How the hit series exploded animation’s possibilities for gaming. By Rafael Motamayor] - netflixqueue.com/</ref>
** Other video game cities that share the same fantasy genres and similar designs of Piltover are  {{wikia|bioshock|Columbia}}, in which is from the {{w|BioShock (series)|Bioshock series}}. The city is a huge inspiration off of 1893 Chicago with its architecture texture and it connection with its Underworld history.
** The [[Debonair (Universe)|Debonair]] and [[Hextech skins|Hextech]] skin lines reflect this artistic design choice. It is also noted that {{csl|Jinx|Crime City}} follows this trend as well.
*** ''Piltover'' may be a wordplay on {{w|Poltava}} (variants: ''{{w|Vltava}}'', ''Ltava'', ''Fuldaha'', ''Moldau'', etc.), loaned into Common Slavonic from {{w|Old High German}} ''wilt ahwa'' "wild ea" (stream).
[[File:Season_2019_-_Silver_1.png|thumb|200px]]
* In [[Season 2019]], the ranked emblems for the [[League system]] were redesigned. Piltover represents the emblem for the [[File:Season 2019 - Silver 1.png|25px|link=]] Silver rank.
* Piltover has even made huge strides in developing {{cbi|Blitzcrank|Golems}} and machines that make life easier. However these contraptions are not quite ''robotics'' in the modern sense- these golems aren't programmed with code, and they are each bespoke, one-of-a-kind creations made by expert artisans.
* The clans of Piltover jealously guard their secretes, their supplies and the craft for making machinery around tapping into magical power.
* Residence of Piltover are referred to as ''"Piltovans"'' or ''"Piltovians"''.
** Some of Zaun's citizens refer to Piltovans as ''"Pilties"''.
* The sea level is different on one side of the channel that divides Piltover. For ships to cross from one side to the other an impressive contraption capable of lifting and lowering boats was constructed.
