The Void is a mysterious realm where beings or entities can be sent by powerful forces to be trapped for eternity. To some it is known as the Outside, to others it is the Unknown. The void is described as being endless darkness, blacker than black and completely empty (like outer space but without stars or planets). It is a horrible fate to be condemned to. Even "time" in most senses doesn't actually exist there. Energy from the Void, often takes a form chosen by its "wielder" or current denizens, though it is often seen against a backdrop of pure darkness or celestial atmosphere. The term "Void" is also used in reference to the power to distort, or remove entirely, large parts of space. The Void hungers for a representational, godlike entity, Zeeden being its current divine inhabitant. The most common view of the void and its ruler Zeeden by mainstream religion is the next thing to hell.

The void is space filled with everything but nothing. An eternal heaven, filled with darkness. This leads some to refer to original master of the void as "The True God"; the one who is believed to have existed before everything else and whose chaotic nature caused the reaction that gave life to the current gods. Dimensions have been split from the void to give birth to lesser hells that weaker beings dictate over.

In most, if not all, instances in which the Void is prevalent, so is the nihilistic attitude of those seeking to make use of its power. Often times this starts out as a simple desire for incredible power, but inevitably leads to an intense desire to reduce everything to a state of non-existence.

The Void existed before everything else, and Crystals can be found that links the very creation of some worlds to the void. The Void is inhabited by various seemingly intelligent entities who, for reasons beyond human understanding, have the desire to gain entrance to and vitiate the worlds outside their realm. Some of these creatures can bring beings from other worlds and demensions, into the Void.

Some accounts describe the void as to being consistent of a series of floating islands in an organic and chaotic state, which contain uncanny representations of other worlds locales held in suspended animation. A bright light of unknown origin can be seen far below. These are just a recurring description, however, accounts vary.

The Void sometimes has a divine entity, and sometimes does not. Some last for thousands of years. Sometimes the gap between them lasts as long. Each takes on the attributes of the time or process that made it. However, it is unknown what other divinities have existed in the Void and how they were destroyed. These beings can be unmade in many ways, including by fading, abdicating, deicide, being accidentally destroyed, and being reclaimed by the Void.

Travel to the Void is possible through gateways, properly known as "rifts," that can exist as stable or unstable wormhole-like apertures in spacetime. Some of these rifts are recurrent but inconsistent... It is rare that beings which derived from the void can open up these rifts themselves at will.

Rumor has it that every Halloween, during the hours of 2 AM and 5 AM, the void opens up a telepathic connection to common reality. It's said that you can take advantage of the Void and become changed by it... for a price. You will have to acquire an ancient mirror that is said to have been lost by a being a light, commonly referred to as 'God.'You must stand in front of the mirror in a pitch black room with your gaze fixated on the mirror.
