Therefore they would once again forget their existence. So the cycle would continue, but in each one they would think they are the first.

The void is only learning what the inhabitants of Runeterra know of. Which means... they have no clue of the Targon Gods who grant their power to the aspects, they have no clue of the Celestial Dragons like Aurelion Sol. They are blind to entities within runeterra that would easilly prevent the watchers arrival so... is runeterra defended from this threat? Aurelion Sol made it very clear he does not like them. He destroys them upon contact even before he was enslaved. Targon is Targon etc. More importantly, who are the other celestial dragons? And do they also obliterate the void on contact

[@ButterNuss.]

He does not like it because it destroys what he creates. He also fears what is lurking behind the void.

Does he fear the watchers or another entity entirely... im oofed

It reminds me that, when Swain takes a soul fragment from Aurelion, he talks about siblings, since he also told us about Kai'sa and Pyke, there is a chance that we also get some information about other celestial dragon in the future

It doesn't have to be a dragon it might be just another celestial entity that was brought to existence in the very start. Since they are came from the "Breath of Creation" the same source that makes Aurelion and the Watchers siblings.

Honestly, the Watchers are the most relatable characters in the lore. "Ooh, what's this? Existing?... I hate this. This is dumb." 😅

[@lqp79a]

So is the void *alive* ? Or at the very least, are the voidborne alive? It seems like Riot has officially made The Void the great villain of the universe, but then there is still the Shadow Isles and the Black Mist, an amalgamation of perverted magic twisted and birthed to corrupt the very essence of life in the process of Ruination. Really curious how The Void reacts to the Black Mist seeing as both of them are pretty much the two evils of the universe. Would the undead be turned into voidborne or the voidborne be turned into undead (if they are even alive in the first place, which I assume they are cause their trademark is literally evolve and adapt)?

[@vshatriya5254]

Imagine a corruptex hecarim.

[@grantrockefeller4414]

The Void isn't alive, but the Watchers are alive. It's kinda confusing the way "the Watchers" and "the Void" seem to be used interchangeably, but my understanding is that the Watchers are the ones doing everything that would be caused by "the Void." The Shadow Isles and Black Mist are entirely separate from the Void as well, I'd imagine that they're meant to bring several horror archetypes into the world of Runeterra, where the Void is cosmic horror and body horror, the Shadow Isles is more traditional zombie horror, and the Black Mist is plague-type horror. The Void would probably just swallow the other two whole if Runeterra were to be opened up to a full-scale invasion by the Watchers. Otherwise, they'd likely end up as corrupted, voidborn versions and function as another means of transmission of the Watchers' influence.

[@jeongjae-oh9749]

Black mist is local issue. The void is bigger 😂

The Void from LoL and the Void from WoW seems so similar, it could function as a connection between Runeterra and Azeroth.

[@SuperBattle14]

But there is a diffrence in that the world of warcraft was created by the conflict beetween light and the void while in lol lore void was alone till exsistance came into being from nothing( so far atleast). And also that other form of magical energy/enteties came into exsistence like fel and arcane was created from this in the wow world. While in lol it almost seems like two galaxies meet eachother. And one thing is that the light and void from wow world isn't sentient and are just some kind of law/energy that exsist.

Thought the same, except that watchers want reality to end because it disturbs them. Each chaos gods from Wh wants supremacy for themselves making them ennemies to each others. Also, in Wh mortals are the power battery of the conflicted forces of the warp which is sort of an ocean of strong emotions, this makes one god stronger than the others temporaly.

There is a tip in game that talks about a device in Piltover that could locate anyone on RuneTerra. It says that the creator mysteriously died before revealing the formula that powers it. And this story says that the watchers perceive thoughts. So what if the device actually holds a piece of the void captive and exploits this power? That would be a serious reason to kill the creator. Vel'Koz mentions a particular female. Maybe there are more special individuals for the void. And with the device turned off, the void creature inside couldn't locate those persons of interest and pass along the information.

And they can't kill the voidborn that are champions so that would be an option as you said. But even if a battle doesn't happen or the death of Watchers etc. It would be a interesting character. A monster created to destroy and kill learns about the life and the world before him and in the same time discovers him self. That theme is missing in league right now.
