The Freljordian Iceborn warriors and powerful True Ice come from this deal. The Watchers gave Lissandra and her sisters, Avarosa and Serylda, incredible powers. The Watchers have also gained a foothold in the frozen Freljord up north, thanks to a deal they made with the ancient Ice Witch Lissandra. This sets the stage for a civil war of sorts. Bel’Veth doesn’t want the Watchers to win and establish a nothingness of perfect silence - she wants to eat our world and use it for a new Void realm. We wanted her minions to also be aquatic, hence the remora,” adds Mireles.Īnd because the Void is so heavily based on evolution, and Bel’Veth has eaten so many people, she’s taken on the quality of self-preservation. “That included a ton of people as well as marine life found in the harbor (it was a harbor town.) That’s why Bel’Veth is part human, but also has a bunch of different marine lifeforms in her design like manta rays and vampire squids. “Bel’Veth is made from the DNA of all the lifeforms that were consumed by the Void in the city of Belveth,” says Ryan Mireles, the lead producer of gameplay for League of Legends, in an interview with Polygon via email. Ages later, the Void has started to spread out of Icathia and deep into Shurima, continuing to devour and destroy - including the port city of Belveth. The short story “Where Icathia Once Stood” is a terrifying look at how that went, but the tl dr is that it was a terrible idea.Īll of this sets the stage for Bel’Veth, Empress of the Void, and her hideous birth into reality. In order to fight back against Shurima’s god warriors, they dug up slumbering Voidborn. Icathia was once a thriving nation of its own, but its leaders decided to stand up to the dominant empire of Shurima. The first is in the wastelands of Icathia. The Void has broken through into the world of League of Legends in two major ways. The Watchers are basically what would happen if the Lovecraftian pantheon had to live in a crowded apartment building surrounded by loud neighbors who are constantly hammering, screaming, or throwing parties. The lore explains that the Void used to be a place of pure quiet and nothingness, and when Runeterra came into being, the noise of its existence became unbearable to the Watchers that slept within the Void. Each Void monster has a ravenous need to consume, evolve, and destroy. Champions like Cho’Gath, Kha’Zix, and Vel’Koz all come from the Void, and they serve as scouts in the world of Runeterra. The Void in League of Legends is an extradimensional force it’s a realm of nightmare made manifest. While fans only met Bel’Veth recently, Riot Games has been seeding the plot for her arrival for some time now.
She’s an onion of body horror tropes, wrapping an uncanny-valley woman disguise around a manta ray-shaped monster, and she wants nothing more than to eat the world and use it as fuel for a new, nightmarish empire. The next League of Legends champion, Bel’Veth, is one of the most unusual champions on the game’s enormous roster.
