Im really confused....

From what i read i liked the idea of the 3 sisters being like the hear no evil see no evil etc but with lissandra being blinded it mentioned she could then truly see the darkness below for what it was? im assuming like below the bridhe at howling abyss idk lol but when she saw this darkness and it was death... so she made a deal with these watchers to be immortal for the 3 sisters as long as theyre slaves to the watchers and prepare the void for its arrival?

I am then really confused with sacrificng her sisters aswell and ... did she kill her sisters or freeze them below howling abyss along with the watchers?

and i thought lissandra was all about wanting to freeze everything which is why she went to the watchers and not about wanting to be the one to stay alive rather than face death?

oh and from what i read idk if im right but is ashe and sejuani reincarnations of of serylda and avarosa too? o_O ... can i get a basically on this lore e_o

Basically, Lissandra wanted power and made a deal with the watchers to get it. However, she later realized that the Void will probably consume the whole world if she doesn't stop them. Serylda and Avarosa gathered thousands of Iceborn allies to fight the Watchers, but Lissandra doubted that it would work, so instead she sacrificed them to create a gigantic layer of True Ice trapping the Watchers in the Howling Abyss. Perhaps Serylda, Avarosa and all the other Iceborn are trapped in there too, perhaps they were consumed to create those large amounts of True Ice. (The creation of True Ice isn't really known yet) Anyway, after the Watcher invasion was postponed, she started gathering a following and rewriting history to further her personal ambitions. By now, she is leader of a cult known as Frostguard. They make sure the Watchers are still trapped, but the higher you are in the cult, the more you realize that Lissandra isn't really the saint she tries to make everybody believe.

And yes, Ashe and Sejuani are likely descendants/reincarnations of Serylda and Avarosa. Lissandra still feels somewhat guilty about killing her own sisters, so maybe that's why she didn't kill Ashe and Sejuani, yet.

Edit: We will get more lore about how the Watchers were sealed and why Lissandra sacrificed her sisters. (Confirmed by WAAARGHbobo here )

Well Lissandra is no more . That is just a lore character that uses her name.
