The Frozen Watcher, aka the one eyed not Vel'Koz creature The Fall of Shurima, and hubris The Shattered Crown, and how (probably) relates to the Ruined King. The fact that the king opposed the shadows and how they tried to control mortality (which fits very well with the death theme)

Also the weird Illuminati bowling ball symbol too

Well done Riot for the first time in a while the lore looks promising have a

What are you talking about? All we got was the frozen watcher, Runeterra now has floating islands and 'Bard'. This is just a teaser, a boring one to me. I learned nothing interesting.

We knew the frozen watcher was not Vel'Koz. We knew about the fall of Shurima. We know about the ruined king.

We just have nothing about Runeterrans new geography though. Not even a proper map, we just know the old map no longer applies.

This isn't lore, this is just a teaser for something that might be lore.

EDIT: Disregard my comment. I know what you're talking about now.

inb4 Bard is from Icathia and is Void related and his second coming causes Icathia to be consumed by the void

yeah, they pretty much confirmed that the void has a history with freljord

"a horde of these strange creatures once enslaved the tribes of the Freljord"

I also love the Ruined king thing. I would guess that will be this years lore event

Also, "floating village"? Im not sure what that means, but it really seems cool

I dunno how that line connects to the void at all. we knew already that the watchers look strange and that they reigned over all the tribes of the freljord.

If anything I'd say the watchers wouldn't be from the void because of this picture,I mean those arms look too humanlike for a void creature,whereas all void-creatures had a large resemblance to anything inhuman-looking(especially insects)

I am pretty glad that we finally got a clearer picture of a watcher already,mainly because I was getting tired of all these people who thought that the watchers are related to vel'koz,ignoring the facts that they had hands(you can see those at the statues of the howling abyss) and what many people thought to be tentacles were weird ice-horns horns all along.
