[{ Oh, oh, by the way, I wanted to ask you a general WolrdBuilding question: What do you think rural Piltover's technology is like? Between common tools and hetxech, how far has it advanced? (e.x. how are their phones?) I've been doing some research and it's always nice to see it from a different viewpoint :) }]
// I will admit that Piltover-worldbuilding is out of my area of expertise, and normally I take whatever @sheriff-caitlyn says as holy canon, so perhaps she can add to this question if she wants to step in;
But I imagine that rural Piltover is still nonetheless more advanced than the settlements Noxus and Demacia has - while telephone communication might be limited to Piltover city only, they might employ some sort of telegram system to send urgent word outside the urban walls.
That, and I imagine that all towns, villages and small-time cities have things like electricity and plumbing installed.
Hextech tools … I feel those are the more expensive and specialized kind of tools available, with those further away from the capital still using the traditional wrench and screwdriver to get work done - with the occasional investment when it’s a matter that needs higher-quality working done.
I am almost 99.9% sure that when it comes to agriculture, Piltover villagers are using some sort of steam-powered engines and harvesters to increase productivity in comparison with the horse-drawn plow of the other nations.
Sorry if it’s nothing in-depth, it’s not exactly my territory. Hope this helps, though! owo/
