Trivia:
Jarvan IV was first mentioned inUrgot'slore.
A tab for Jarvan IV can be faintly seen at the top duringMaokai'sArt Spotlight.
In-universe Demacian naming convention does not mirror real-life's European royalty and nobility's naming convention; as the current Jarvan should not have gotten theregnal numberIVbefore his coronation.
The terrain created byCataclysmis made of 24 minions to make sure that no one can squeeze through the wall.[2]
The old visual effects ofGolden Aegiswas once made up of little ghosts due being a recolored copy ofDeath's Caress.[3]
