Lissandra's Howling Abbys monologue is one of my favorite lore features

Ye, I know it's not really a lore feature,but an ˝easter egg˝. I love that we get more insight on the LoL lore and her voice actress did a fantastic job and in terms of voice acting get's underappreciated. It had so much info we didn't know we were given the Frozen Watchers and Ice-born, AurelionSol sealing a Void Rift at Mount targon , Azir 's & Xerath 's ascension and the fall of the Shuriman Empire. It's breathtaking I love it.

_**"The Howling Abyss. A bottomless crevasse surrounded by an ancient fortress carved into a glacier. No one remembers who built this place. No one knows its purpose. No one but me." "Long before AsheSquare Ashe and SejuaniSquare Sejuani, before Aurelion SolSquare magic shattered the broken peaks, before the XerathSquare desert swallowed Shurima, it was the time of The Three Sisters. We were so young back then; Avarosan profileicon Avarosa, Winter's Claw profileicon Serylda, and me, Frostguard profileicon Lissandra."

"Back then the Frozen Watchers lived here. I do not know where they came from, but I know they were powerful. They gave us gifts, shared their magic, made us immortal. They named us 'Iceborn'."

"In return, we gave them whatever they desired. This mighty fortress, a vast empire, our loyalty, these were a small price to pay. Avarosa did not see it that way. Like a spoiled child she cried out for freedom. She demanded choice. She sowed the seeds of rebellion and betrayal."

"This place is where it happened. On one side, the Frozen Watchers, on the other, Avarosa and her Iceborn horde. Many Iceborn died that day, but in the end, the Watchers fell. Avarosa drove them howling into the abyss."

"I never forgave her. I had my revenge... but that is another story."**_

I love it so much, it's sad the game now automatically closes and it's gone from ARAMs :( I hope it will somehow appear in the lore update

It would be interesting to see how the monologue holds up after her imminent lore update. I mean chances are slim that it will end up contradicting anything, but who knows whats been rearranged / revised in terms of Freljord's lore. Like its been 5 (holy shit that much!) years since the Freljord had any significant traction within the World Building.

They should do these for every champion. Like the champion explaining their lore trough their view. Something like what overwatch does

I would sometimes just tell the (full premade) team to get stuffed - in a chat room, mind you (RIP) - while I listened to Lissandra's narrative before I would hop on the next game.

For those not knowing what we're on about here:

Freljord lore is the MOST consistent out of any! Even now with Nunus Bio update Lissandras storyline still sticks! So we dont really need to hear her update Bio( coming soon) in order to know that her positions and meaning hasnt changed much :) And yes I love that easter Egg and I believe that it will stay relevant

I want a Liss legendary skin. Her voice actress fits her perfectly.
