My theory about the void invasion
Sorry if the post feels a bit messy. Was in a bit of a hurry when I wrote it.
With Rek'Sai being the latest addition to the void lineup, I thought I'd post this theory I've had for a while.
I think the void champion come one and one for a reason, and the order they come in isn't random either. We all know there's an invasion comming, but why? My impression of the void is that they basically find a world, invade it, conquer it and then move on to another one. I'm also getting the impression that Kog'Maw's dad is the mastermind.
I think that all the other voidborn have some kind of mental link to him, allowing him to take part of information they find and give them orders. The ones he sends to Valoran are all adpted to finding a specific type of information.
However, none of the voidborn actually know about this link. It's been very confirmed by now that all voidborn are driven by a hunger. This hunger is the what Kog'Maw's dad uses to make sure they do their jobs. It's also been mentioned that Kha'Zix is driven by instincts way deeper than a human could understand. Perhaps, these aren't instincts at all, and in fact orders from Kog'Maw's dad? Kha'Zix just think they are instincts.
Judging from her bio, the invasion of Runeterra seems to have started with Rek'Sai. She was sent to Runeterra to find out if the planet is inhabitable by voidborn at all. She does this by digging through the earth, making sure there it doesn't consist of a large amount of toxic or dangerous materials.
After that,
was sent to test Runeterra's inhabitants and see if they are to great of an opponent and too big of a risk. Seems like, they where in fact not.
Then,
was to be sent as a future monarch of this new world, growing up in it to learn how life would be in it. However, being young and weak, he needed a guardian. At first, that guardian was meant to be Kassadin, but his mind was stronger than expected, so Malzahar because the new guardian of choice.
Now, with the monarch in place, it was
turn to make an appearance and gather information on how to addapt the best to life on this new world and it's ecosystem (what tools are needed, what's the best source of food etc.).
Finally,
made an appearance to find out about any kind of valuable secrets. Because he is more brain than brawn, he was also give bodyguards (as indicated in his lore). However, he wasn't really fond of them and got rid of them in his own way.
Bonus theory
I see two futures for Runeterra: Void Invasion and Glorious Evolution. However, these two could not happen at the same time, because when Viktor got his hands on Kog'Maw (the future monarch) and made him unable to produce, the invasion was deemed a faliure and put on hold. Therefore,
is actually the savior of the world.
How's that for "
is the good guy"?
