Is there a Void portal on the Shadow Isles?

YumaS2Astral··5 votes·2,200 views

If there are Void portals on Freljord (source: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1ytgt1/were_the_velkoz_team_ama/cfnnmm4 ) is there any real possibility of having Void portals on the Shadow Isles too?

What would happen if a Voidborn met with anyone from the Shadow Isles?

Once I made a similar thread on the BR forums. Some responses that I had were that it is likely that Hecarim and others would kill or just scare away any Voidborn that would dare met with them. Another user said that it is unlikely that there are any actual Void portals on the Shadow Isles because Void creatures would not be interested on exploring, consuming and destroying a land that is "dead".

Also, is it possible for a Voidborn to reborn as a Shadow Isles specter? Just like what happened with Yorick or Karthus - or is that process exclusive to humans and poros?

Also, if Bilgewater is on war and there is nothing that is preventing the Shadow Isles creatures from invading Valoran... What would happen if the Shadow Isles creatures were to met with Voidborns on Runeterra? According to the old, outdated map, Bilgewater is east of Bandle City and Icathia (Icathia is at north of Bandle City). Assuming that this is still cannon... What if the Shadow Isles creatures got there?

I HAVE A THEORY ABOUT IT!!!

When you think about void creatures, the first image that you see is an insect like creature... right?

Khazix RekSai Chogath

Giant creatures with big claws, fangs and exoskeletons... right?

http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140618120136/leagueoflegends/images/5/5b/Baron_Nashor_VU.jpg

... so, in general, the void creatures are alien buglike monsters.

Now... could you imagine a creature from the shadow isles with those characteristics?

.... yeah... something like that...

So, my theory is that the stupid spider, stealer of jobs, and with a ridiculous dance, Vilemaw... is actually an undead Voidborn.

"Vile'Maw"

BUT WAIT! There is more

Do you remember Rek'Sai? Queen of the Xer'Sai?

Some people say that the name of the void creatures are separated by 2 parts, the "name" (Rek) and the "type" or "species" (Sai)

Which could mean that are other "Something'Gath", "Something'Koz", "Something'Zix" and "Something'Maw"

... "Something'Maw"

Yes, Im saying that KogMaw is from the same species than "Vile'Maw".

"But Ebonmaw! you are also a "maw"! But Ebonmaw! Vilemaw and Kogmaw are not even similar!"

I know, I know... BUT! Kogmaw has not fully evolved, unlike his "Daddy" who is bigger than Summoners Rift acording to Riot... so its possible that "Vile'Maw" is in an advanced stage of evolution.

TLDR: I think that Vilemaw is actually an undead Voidborn.

If Im correct, a void portal could be inside the lair of Vilemaw. (or the portal disappeared after the void born died)

Impressive! I have never ever thougth of something like that before.

Does that means that Elise is indirectly helping the Void? Assuming that Vilemaw is still connected with the Void... Although as an undead he may no longer be part of Void, but of the Shadow Isles.

Well, it depends of a few factors.

First of all, what is more important for Elise... Her loyalty to the Shadow Isles or her god?

Second and more important... What is Vilemaw thinking? He has a goal?

I mean, we have never heard him talking, but we know that he is a sentient being (just like the Dragon of Summoners Rift)... As a sentient being, he could talk (like the dragons, or ChoGath)... In fact is very possible that he talks.

You mentioned that, now that he is undead, he may no longer be part of the Void... Which could be true considering that Mordekaiser can slave undead dragons/voidborns and Hecarim does not remember his past (or part of it)... but, if he keeps remembering his past, like Karthus or Yorick... he could be still part of the Void in secret.

But even as part of the Void, it doesn't mean that he could share the same goals of Chogath, Malzahar and company... after all, there are Voidborns RekSai Velkoz that do not follow the rest of them. Maybe Vilemaw just want to get power for himself... which reminds me....

Elise offers sacrifices to Vilemaw, the spider eats the bodies and souls of those who are sacrificed to him... he eats souls... which could be something that you could expect from an undead voidborn.

To answering your question... it depends on Vilemaw. If the spider is an ally of the void (assuming that he is a voidborn), Elise might be interested in the rest of the Voidborn "gods"... but, as far as Elise knows, she is ally of the shadow isles.

Not sure if he's undead- Maybe just cursed/transformed (like Elise who isn't undead- Just more, er, spider).

It's an interesting theory though. I think that it is possible that he's a transformed Voidborn, and if he is, then maybe he hides a portal to the Void in his dark lair.

The dark magic of the Shadow Isles is kinda odd- It seems to not only transform people into specters/undead beings, but also other dark creatures- Such as spiders and whatever Evelynn is (if she was born a human).

Problem.

Rek'Sai, Kog'Maw, Cho'Gath, Kha'Zix, Vel'Koz, Zz'rot are all Shuriman names.

So how does Vilemaw, a creature from the Shadow Isles, have a Shuriman name? Baron Nashor's a void creature but since he has no Shuriman history (that we know of) he doesn't have a Shuriman name.

People can travel, maybe merchants from Shurima went to the Shadow Isles before his fall and named the creature "Vile'Maw"... However, after many years, the people from the kingdom called him simply "Vilemaw" due changes in the pronunciation.

...Sorry but that doesn't sound very convincing. :(

I get it, I do, I understand what you're going for, but the Vile'Maw and Skar'ner and Baron Nash'or is likely not a thing. Plus wouldn't the people of the Shadow Isles already have a name for Vilemaw? Why would they take a Shuriman name over one in their native language?

Hey, i know that is really, really far fetched... but its a possibility anyways.

Well I'll give you this, because I kinda feel bad: the possibility exists that Vilemaw's the void equivalent of a spider. It's unlikely, but the possibility is there since we know fuck all about Vilemaw aside from his god like powers and devotee Elise.

Vel'Koz getting scared? Or Kha? =P They don't fit the profile of getting scared.

It's hard to imagine as those two types don't usually interact. (The why Alien vs Predator is interesting because it's two beasts, people don't give a f*ck we just wanna watch the world burn when they meet)

So if they faced each other I think they would just jump at it each other

Kha is pretty much the LoL Alien. He came through the portal not really developed and had to eat a lot of stuff to actually become a threat.

I bet that if he appeared on the Shadow Isles instead he'd just get squashed.

Please don't give me more nightmares.

A new map is being worked on, if I'm not wrong, and it's significantly different from the old map- Making the old map not very canon anymore. :P

An undead voidborn would be indeed interesting. Anyway back then they probably just said that "it's not crazy to think that a rift may have opened in the Freljord a long time ago" is just a means to keep their possibilities open,so that they are free to do whatever they want with the freljord.

GenoXx1 votes

You speak of hellish things. Undead void born would be too op. Kha'zix wouldn't have to jump over trees to hunt. He could get even more poweful from the Shadow Isles power. This thought should be forbidden lol

Undead Voidling? whoa thats OP.

What about if that undead Voidling gets true ice? That would be Ultra OP combo.
