To cover up her past mistakes in pledging allegiance to the Watchers, Lissandra rewrote the history of the Freljord, turning the tales of the Watchers into that of myths and songs. This took the lives of many Iceborn, possibly Avarosa and Serylda, themselves. While many believed the Watchers were dead, they were merely imprisoned in a magical stasis of True Ice under the Howling Abyss. These constructs were the first of the Voidborn, and would be their masters' eyes and ears, sent forth into the nightmare of existence to watch, listen, and learn. Reaching into the material realm, the Watchers took from the crude matter that comprised it, shaping, corrupting and imbuing it with consciousness. 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 the Watchers 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. Countless Iceborn were killed, but they eventually won the battle, with Avarosa's sister, Lissandra, weaving a spell to sacrifice armies of Iceborn, possibly including her sisters, to entomb the Watchers in a glacial prison of True Ice underneath the bridge. This culminated in to a long bloody battle across the bridge known as the Howling Abyss. They conquered for the Watchers and built them a great civilization, including the bridge and fortress looming over the Howling Abyss, which eventually amassed in to an enormous empire, all in preparation for the inevitable destruction of all existence.Īvarosa, believing that their servitude to the Watchers was worse than death, led the Iceborn rebellion against the Watchers. The Iceborn were given great gifts, magic and immortality in return for their eternal loyalty.

The Watchers were immensely powerful, and transformed humans of the Freljord into the immortal Iceborn. In their curious and spiteful intent of understanding the material universe, they reshaped matter within it into conscious extensions of themselves tasked to collect information and knowledge in their behalf, becoming the prototype of the current and modern Voidborn. The Watchers did not know why they or the Void existed, only that it perturbed them that something, that something being our universe, existed in the vast blackness of nothing. The Watchers originated from the Void, a vast canvas of nothingness, in which the concept of its existence is a mystery, even to themselves. From the time the bravest among them first entered Runeterra, the Watchers did not possess material form, nor were they even aware of their own sentience.
