Ionia is a land of unspoiled beauty and natural magic. This archipelago is known for its neutrality in the Valoran wars and the Noxian invasion that happened twice. Ionia has produced many champions on the Rift that are popular in the current meta. The Noxian invasion brought out the best of the warriors that received training in different academies and military battalions Ionia possessed. Many heroes like Irelia, Akali, Zed, and Shen had to overperform to survive the invasion. This has brought them glory and success that was heard in the realms far away from Ionia.
