Summary
Many Arcane fic writers are not League of Legends players, the video game that the show is based on, so I put together this primer to help writers create canon-compliant works. It includes: character ages, the show's timeline, characters' in-game bios (with commentary about their connection to Arcane), an overview of the Piltover/Zaun conflict, brief descriptions of the surrounding regions, and detailed descriptions of Piltover/Zaun's layout and geography.
To do: world timeline, local religion(s), species, magic
Now with visual aids to help spark inspiration! There's maps of both Piltover/Zaun, their denizens and the technology they created, and some glimpses into the world around them. (Best viewed on desktop, as they're quite large.)
(I apologize for clogging the tags; I'm trying to get this to as many writers and potential writers as possible.)

Summary
This place has no shortage of freaks, and this guy is only adding to the roster. Large steel bolts stick out of his broad shoulders, lighting up the room with bright green sparks every few seconds. His left hand is pale, covered in tattoos of strange runes, interrupted by stitches that surround his wrist and lead to an arm that looks almost like it’s decaying, the skin grey and dull, another silver bolt protruding next to the elbow. He picks up the glass with fingers that are twined in barbed wire, and as he tips his head back to sip at it, his long black hair slips back, showing bolts in his neck and stitches along his mouth. He sets the glass down with a soft clink, and his hair falls over his face once again.
Pocket knocks back the last gulp of their rye and coke. Yep, another freak for the collection. Not that that’s a bad thing in Pocket’s eyes. They’d much rather be around freaks than the type of people Maximilian associated with.
***
It's the night before the ritual, and Pocket has a few drinks to calm their nerves. They end up getting more than a little acquainted with one of the weirder freaks in the Hidden King's alliance.

Summary
Graves grimaces. “I need— a place to hang out for a few hours after school on Tuesdays. My parents think I’m at study camp with Apollo. Which. Obviously. I’m not.”
Silver stares. “A babysitter?” she deadpans. Did she drink herself to unconsciousness or dig into one too many of Celeste’s edibles again? This has to be some weird, bourbon induced dream.
“Uh,” Graves says, which is as much of an answer as it is a non-answer.
(or: silver gets a headache, gets paid, and gets a sister, not necessarily in that order.)

Summary
Time was the one thing the doorman had never lacked. So he let a few centuries pass, and waited, until an old friend found his way back to him.

Summary
There are many strange and colorful guests who come through the Baroness, and the Doorman has seen them all. He says all are welcome, but that isn’t strictly true. Most are welcome.
He is undecided about the mangy creature muddying the rug.

Summary
"You’ve been avoiding me.” The Doorman stated, amused sounding, “Quite impolite of you.”
The Drifter snarled in response and swung out at where he guessed the other’s torso would be. There was a tearing sound, a mix of cloth, meat, and something unnatural, before the hand on his neck released him. He immediately whirled, teeth bared and claws at the ready, only to find the Doorman merely adjusting his cuffs and affixing him with an unimpressed raise of his brow. There was no sign of damage on him, as though the wound that he had felt had never existed at all. Bastard.
The Drifter learns what it feels like to be hunted.
