“Arcane” is set in a city-state called Piltover, which consists of a rich and radiant district of the same name and a dark and impoverished district called Zaun. In the hostile environment of this undercity, the orphans Vi and Powder grow up in the care of their foster father Vander. The two petty criminal sisters go on a robbery in the wealthy district, setting off a chain of events that not only drives a wedge between the two siblings, but also endangers the future of all of Piltover.

The conflict ultimately pits two feuding sisters against each other in a war that revolves around magic – or more precisely, magical technologies and beliefs.
