Arrr, Behind the name
Arrr, A controlled passage between seas gives trade a physical centre in the twin cities. Goods, travellers and wealth move through infrastructure whose benefits are unevenly shared. The gates are a useful starting point for understanding Piltover's prosperity without assigning every city champion a personal event at this exact site.
Arrr, Part of a larger world
Arrr, Trade brings wealth and invention to Piltover, but access to opportunity is uneven. Its polished architecture makes more sense alongside Zaun's workshops and hazardous streets. Read both cities together to understand why progress can be a promise for one person and a burden for another.
