In the Second Act of Arcane, Mel confirmed Jayce that she was exiled from her family, because she lacked “Standard Medarda.” While she talks to Jayce, we get to see the painting Mel is working on in the episode.

Interestingly, Mel’s painting features Noxus ships along with The Immortal Bastion. In LoL lore, a mighty Revenant built the Immortal Bastion, but several tribes united against him. After defeating the Revenant, these tribes established the nation of Noxus. So Mel’s drawing of Immortal Base confirms her connection to Noxus.
