班德尔城

班德尔城（Bandle City）為坐落在瓦洛蘭東南部的一座城邦。

班德尔城

Lore

Bandle City resides in Yordle Land and is the home city of the yordle race. The vast majority of the yordle society dwells in the southeastern part of Valoran, behind the safety of the Sablestone Mountain range. Centuries before, the yordles were a nomadic race, traveling around the continent for many years. They eventually settled themselves within the Ruddynip Valley where modern day Bandle City is now located. While their society may seem like a simple rural community, the city itself holds a great deal of intrigue and mystery.

政府

約德爾族擁有一種非常社區性的政府，各名官員負責管理他們自己特定的區域。目前丹尼森·捷德法洛（Dennison Jadefellow）市長為班德尔城的領導者。班德尔城政體為約德爾族在The Yordle Land之外的主要代表。

關係

比爾吉沃特

班德尔城和比爾吉沃特之間的關係一直以來都很緊張，主要是因為班德尔的船隻偶然受到海盜的襲擊。

德瑪西亞

班德尔城與德瑪西亞王國之間有相對良好的關係。 鋼鐵大使波比, Hero of Demacia and the nation's longest serving champion, has wandered the lands of her adopted home since its early years as a fledgling nation, protecting its many citizens from harm.

艾歐尼亞

班德尔城似乎與艾歐尼亞有著中立的關係，因為這兩國之間很少有往來。然而， 狂暴之心凱南可能例外。

凱南生於班德尔城，他擁有無窮的能量，從中發現到此能量並不受到任何的限制，僅藉著他不得了的速度相配。他驚人的天賦一直到他直接翻越位於艾歐尼亞境內的普雷希典（Placidium）外牆後才受到重視。當此一壯舉的消息傳到均衡組織（Kinkou Order）後，凱南很快就聲名大噪。他發現到狂暴之心這個角色很適合他，於是他拼命地對整個境界傳遞了均衡組織的旨意，並且執行均衡組織的懲處。儘管在組織裡凱南的立場不能偏向於另一方，但他似乎對艾歐尼亞產生了很深厚的情感。

皮爾特沃夫

雖然皮爾特沃夫為德瑪西亞的盟友，但班德尔城與皮爾特沃夫之間的特殊關係值得一提。Many of the most ingenious minds of Bandle City go to attend the University in the heart of Piltover from mechanical masterminds to tinkering excellency; the most obvious display of Yordle power in Piltover University is 大發明家黑默丁格 . Piltover has gotten the attention of many yordles and taken attention to many also such as 機械公敵蘭博 and 爆破鬼才吉格斯. Military weaponization for Bandle City is largely produced in Piltover; examples would be the Yipsnakes aircraft and the city's defensive outpost walls and turrets.

約德爾族

As with humans, yordles are bipedal sentient beings. They also have male and female genders. Yordles are decidedly shorter than humans; both male and female yordles rarely exceed 1 meter tall, with most averaging around 0.8 meters. Their skin texture ranges from being completely smooth, to very lightly covered in fur, to ultimately being significantly furry. Their skin tone runs a much broader spectrum of colors than their human counterparts; while there is no direct scientific explanation for this, some consider this to be a sign of the yordles’ attunement to Runeterra’s magical nature, maybe note worthy to state female Yordles tend to have smooth skin (commonly blue), while their male counterparts tend to be furry. They generally have inferior vision in the normal spectrum of light than humans. Yordles nevertheless have much better hearing and are able to see into the infrared spectrum of light, where humans cannot. Furthermore, they are commonly characterized by their dependence on language, as well as their creation and utilization of complex tools.

The yordle race may possibly have genetic ties to the sea dwelling race in which Fizz, the Tidal Trickster, is derived from, though scientific evidence of a common ancestor has yet to be found.

文化

Yordles require far more social interaction with their own kind than humans do. They generally are a peaceful and amicable race, often marked with streaks of joviality and light prankishness; their moral compass is most often pointed toward goodness and benevolence. Their desire for social interaction drives them toward this ethos, as the mental health of a yordle is very much dependent on the positive company he or she keeps. This does not mean, however, that they are incapable of cruelty and evil. In fact, a yordle who is kept in isolation for too long – especially from contact with other yordles – runs the risk of becoming withdrawn and sullen. Some who already are centered more toward malevolence will become exceedingly so in due course. These yordles will often twist their desire for social interaction into a desire to seek out others to inflict pain and suffering upon them, one extreme example being Veigar, the Tiny Master of Evil.

軍事

What yordles lack in stature, they make up for with their armaments and their industriousness.

• The city's weapons brigade – the Megling Commandos – are something of a legend in Bandle City. They have a history that spans centuries, and they remain the oldest yordle military unit still in service. They are renowned for their courage and bravery, as well as their deadliness and ruthlessness, making them the most respected and feared of all warriors from the city-state. Legends of Megling, the valiant founder of the commandos, can still be heard whispered throughout Valoran. It was these legends that most inspired Tristana, the Megling Gunner, to join the yordle military and become part of the Megling Commandos.

• Within the city's intelligence team – the Scouts of the Mothership – the yordle Teemo, the Swift Scout, is known by most as the group's top recon specialist. However, to those who know of his true exploits, it is clear that Teemo is actually something else – the unrepentant assassin of Bandle City. While he enjoys the level of community and companionship inherent to all yordles, Teemo's feelings for his people are so strong that he ventures out on his own to seek out the foes of his city. When he finds them, Teemo extinguishes their lives with the rare ajunta poison he personally gathers from the jungles of Kumungu. It is said that there is something that switches off in Teemo, so that the lives he ends do not burden him.

• The aerial squadron – the Screaming Yipsnakes – utilized the Reconnaissance Operations Front-Line Copter, an air assault vehicle which has now become the backbone of the Bandle City Expeditionary Force (BCEF). Corki, the Daring Bombardier, was the most renowned of the group. He and his squadron would soar over Valoran, surveying the landscape and conducting aerial acrobatics for the benefit of onlookers below. During times of conflict, the squadron often performed missions which would take them behind enemy lines, either gathering intelligence or delivering messages through hot zones.

歷史

Yordle Girl Went Missing

A little purple, yordle girl, named Lulu, went missing on one afternoon. She was last seen in the town square where some of the other yordle children said that the girl was talking to a large firefly that was stuck inside a bird house. The girl pulled it out, followed it and, suddenly, disappeared into thin air. People say that the children must have faulty vision, but with the recent effects of the Rune Wars, there's no telling if what the children say is true or perhaps something more.

班德尔城母艦

Above the city center sits a hulking, unfinished rocket called the Mothership. There are no records which say where it came from, though oral histories declare that it was there before the first yordles came to settle the Ruddynip Valley. The ship is a cultural icon for yordles across Runeterra and their society is unified around the concept of "getting it ready," or restoring the broken-down structure as a symbol of cooperation. Unfortunately, actual cooperation ends with several unfinished projects littering the site, and ongoing debate over what should be done next.

The Iron Ambassador to Demacia

Years ago the famous yordle blacksmith Blomgrun was commissioned to create a glorious helm for a Demacian general. Word of this charge was leaked to the Noxian High Command, and two of their best spies ambushed Blomgrun's caravan en route to Demacia. Blomgrun's daughter, who was traveling with him at the time, was able to escape with the helm. She watched helplessly as her father was slain before her eyes. Instead of fleeing home, she carried the helm to Demacia alone. When the Demacian general saw the grim determination behind the tears in her eyes, the general requested that the leadership of Bandle City make her the yordle ambassador to Demacia. The yordle leaders agreed with the request, appointing Blomgrun's daughter, Poppy, the liaison between Bandle City and Demacia.

A Cupcake from the Mothership

One day a local tinker named Beardly Kittle discovered a fossilized cupcake that had been expelled out from the Mothership. During this time witnesses claimed to see lights flashing across the ship for a few seconds. Yordle scientists continue to investigate, though they found it unlikely that the Mothership will be turning on again anytime soon. Nevertheless, the discovery has awakened unified celebration in Bandle City, with Mayor Dennison Jadefellow declaring a city-state holiday.

Poppy's Anniversary Day Ruined

The pirate Tiresias Ellington and his crew boarded a Bandle City ship headed to Demacia and sacked the vessel of its goods. Though Tristana and Teemo's special forces were able to apprehend the pirates, they could not salvage the cargo. This particular shipment was on its way to a celebration, a commemoration to Poppy's appointment to service as envoy between Demacia and the yordles. Bandle City appealed to the League to solicit reparations from Bilgewater for the loss of the goods, along with spoiling their anniversary plans. Bilgewater’s stance was that they were not responsible for the actions of a few independent sailors.

Attempted Abduction of the Mothership

Teemo takes aim as the Tiny Master of Evil attempts a daring escape.

It was discovered that the mastermind behind the Horseshoe Heist and Balloon Burglary was none other than Veigar, the Tiny Master of Evil. He planned to use these items in a grand attempt to abduct Bandle City’s Mothership. The horseshoes’ shape allowed them to slip perfectly under the curved metal of the Mothership’s nose cone and his enchanted balloons threatened to lift the Mothership from the ground.

Veigar's plan was foiled, however, by a flock of sharp-winged thresher geese approached from the west. The flock of predatory birds passed above the Mothership and sliced though all but one of Veigar’s enchanted balloons, deflating them immediately. Faced with an impending and accidental defeat, Veigar tugged the final balloon free of its horseshoe and began to rise into the sky. The League Champion Teemo, having just arrived at the Mothership, took aim and burst Veigar’s last balloon with a single dart. The Tiny Master of Evil plummeted into the tree line just outside the city. Bandle City officials were unable to locate the Tiny Master of Evil following his escape from the battle, noting that it is likely he escaped through magical means.

The Mothership miraculously suffered no apparent damage from the incident. Many onlookers, however, commented that the Mothership appeared to have shifted slightly to the left.

The Lost Girl Returns

The young, purple, yordle girl, Lulu, that was reportedly missing centuries ago, miraculously reappeared, all though she did grow, she was much younger and

healthier than anticipated. On return she acquired some new magical talent and a new friend, Pix, possibly the large firefly that the yordles had told about.

Lulu sought to reconnect to the residents of Bandle City, but her attempt had unfortunate results. She led all the children off to play hide and seek, temporarily changing them into flowers and animals to spice up the game, but their parents didn’t appreciate her efforts. The yordles insisted that she leave their lands immediately and she willingly did so. She later went to the League of Legends to see if she could reconnect with the rest of Valoran through it.
