"It’s melting,” Sigvar managed. “One of the Nine. Something emerged.”

“The Watchers stir…” breathed the priest, eyes widening—perhaps in awe, perhaps in fear.

Sigvar merely nodded, his breathing ragged. His prodigious strength was close to failing him.

“Our revered mistress, the Lady of Ice and Darkness, must be informed,” said the priest. The immense gates of the citadel ground open, the shadows within beckoning. “Come, Iceborn. We must prepare for what is to come.”

Well sh**. Shurima is still rebuilding they can't make more Ascendants atm. Plus a rioter confirmed there will be a war betwen Noxus and rebuilt Shurima so I hope it takes the Watcher a long time before they melt the other 8 if Runeterra is to stand a chance.

That would be my guess. It seems like they are building up a lot of the lore to a big showdown with the void. maybe we get a large set of skins for this "void war" for champions from all the factions that come together to face this extradimensional threat? I would say Ryze, Ashe, and Demacia will all be in right away, Sejuani will probably come around after seeing the threat firsthand. Lissandra feels like she will be the first casualty, unless she leaves to recruit allies before they arrive. Swain may decide that it's best for Noxus to help, since they can't keep expanding of everything/everyone dies. Shurima and Targon are big maybes, although Targon should intervene since they have ASol closing rifts for them. Feels like they might be in the initial alliance actually. Ionia is too divided, Bilgewater isn't a unified faction, and shadow isles would probably just take advantage of the chaos to attack everyone. Piltover and Zaun might help, but since they're basically just cities it would be a small contingent of fighters if anything. Or maybe just some weapons to help. Anyway a big update and cool war skin line would be sweet!
