@Riot: I feel like we're building up to some amazing Void content.
With all this talk of Star Dragons, Ancient Emperors, Cyborgs, Ice Witches, Sniper-Cops, Mermaids, Berserkers, Angels, and sentient-weaponized-goo-people (talk about diversity), it's easy to forget that there's another world opposite of Runeterra brimming with intelligent alien life. The only problem is that this intelligent alien life has a thing for learning english... and consuming our lifeforms.
The Void and it's denizens are a really interesting part of this world. The fact that they're super-intelligent (learning to speak and such) makes them dangerous. Rek'Sai might seem like a mindless beast, but that... mouth of hers probably prevents a lot of words from sounding the way she wants them. Rek'Sai, too, is probably super-intelligent. My theory, however, is that they all aren't so intelligent when they come into this world. The longer they're in Runeterra, the more they seem to learn. The Xer'Sai are a great example.
To explain it better, think about the Graboids from Tremors. The longer they live, the smarter they become. In the end, the only ways to kill them are with sheer amounts of fire power. I feel those from the Void are no different. Growing in experience and cognitive ability. These are creatures made to evolve and overcome. They almost seem designed for the specific purpose of invasively consuming worlds, like they were born to do it.
I think the Void is ripe for storytelling, and I feel all the references to the Void in recent lore means we might (somewhat soon) be seeing some Void lore.
The more I think about it, the more I look forward to hearing more about the Void.
Or maybe just learning what the hell Brand actually is.
Either/or.
