They had no concept of what had happened, yet they knew they had been betrayed. Those that remained in the Void recoiled. The way was shut, and dozens of the Watchers were trapped in the liminal space between two realms, frozen in the moment of transition. In an instant, there was time, and heat, and pain. The boldest of them tore open the veil and hurled themselves upward, only to be horribly disoriented by the sudden shift between the abyss and the corporeal, linear nature of reality. Yet, in them, the Watchers saw a chance to invade the material realm, to destroy it, to silence the intolerable pulsing of reality beyond the Void. The tiny, mortal minds that reached out to them were insignificant, little more than fleeting motes of light at the very edges of the abyss. Before this, they had not even been fully aware of their own sentience, and yet now they knew that they could not tolerate the presence of this other place this other-realm of mercurial, overwhelming creation.Īnd soon enough, the Watchers found themselves being scrutinized in return. something, where before there had been nothing, and its mere presence scraped against the vast, cold, formless entities that drifted in the blackness. There was peace, if such a term could have any meaning there. For timeless eons, there was purity in that fact.
In that place, in the cold, endless dark, all is equal and empty. It is not necessary to know how such a place ever came to be, nor why-only that it did. It is the realm of the Void, where no mortal or immortal creature may ever walk. To truly understand the horror that is Vel’Koz, one must first know of the Watchers, and how they were blinded to the mortal realm.īeyond the material plane, outside and somehow below it, lies the unknowable abyss. But Vel’Koz is far from a passive observer, striking back at threats with deadly plasma, or by disrupting the very fabric of the world itself. While his kin devour or defile everything around them, he seeks instead to scrutinize and study the physical realm-and the strange, warlike beings that dwell there-for any weakness the Void might exploit. It is unclear if Vel’Koz was the first Voidborn to emerge on Runeterra, but there has certainly never been another to match his level of cruel, calculating sentience.
