Their story, step by step

  1. Step 1

    Queen of the Xer'Sai

    Rek'Sai is queen of the Xer'Sai, creatures of the Void. According to Riot's lore she entered Runeterra through a portal into Shurima thousands of years ago, possibly before Emperor Azir's time.

  2. Step 2

    Terror of the Desert

    She and her brood claimed hunting grounds across the Shuriman desert, and over millennia she devoured thousands. She is unusual among Voidborn in her protective instincts toward her young.

  3. Step 3

    Recent Encounters

    A Noxian hunting party led by the noble Aelon tried to take her for the arenas, and the sight of her power shook his Noxian beliefs. In the Sai Kahleek incident she hunted six teenagers and killed five, leaving Jaheje to warn others. She has also attacked Yuumi and clashed with Kai'Sa and Taliyah near Xolan.

Turning points

  • Arriving in Shurima through a Void portal
  • The hunt of the six teenagers at Sai Kahleek
  • Her fight with Kai'Sa and Taliyah

Where their story stands now

Rek'Sai is alive in Sai Kahleek and still hunting. Her conflicts with other Voidborn are not spelled out.

Where this fits in the story

    What the Void is

    The Void lies beyond reality. Its masters, the Watchers, had no form or self-awareness at first and want to unmake Runeterra.

  2. The Void · step 2

    The Freljord

    The Watchers turned humans in the Freljord into immortal Iceborn. Avarosa led a rebellion, and her sister Lissandra entombed the Watchers in True Ice beneath the Howling Abyss. Some escaped, and those trapped made the first Voidborn.

    Icathia

    Around 2500 BN the Icathians rebelled against Shurima, dug up a mysterious weapon and opened a huge rift. It destroyed their civilization and released countless Voidborn. The Rupture is still there.

    Today

    Nine runic seals slowly weaken, and Voidborn keep appearing. Some champions hunt them while others, like Malzahar, serve the Void or open new rifts.
