Ixtal
Thousands of years ago, this land was a part of greater Shurima. These Ixtal images will show the current and secluded culture of this jungle. Now, Ixtal was one of the first countries to gain independent from Shurima. Naturally, Ixtal thriving, gave rise and major influence to many other cultures such as the Buhru and the the Blessed Isles. In fact, there is evidence Ixtal contributed to the creation of the first Sun Disc. Unfortunately, the Void Rift crushed Ixtal. Later on, so did the Rune Wars. At this point, Ixtal had endured tremendous losses. The Ixtali withdrew deep into the jungle. They double downed on their elemental magic while remaining isolated from all outside influences. Ixtal is shrouded in mystery. Even the mighty elemental drake that reside here remain undiscovered. What’s more, Noxus is slowly encroaching upon Ixtali territory from the north.
