The Void

The Void and the Light are the most fundamental forces in existence. Although contradictory by their very nature, they are bound together on a cosmic scale. One cannot exist without the other. The Void is not necessarily "evil", it is a primal force with its morality characterized by how it is wielded. Light manifests as holy magic, while the Void appears as shadow magic

The Void can be a source of terrible power, the kind of power that comes at a price. While the Light is often said to bring about feelings of positive emotion—hope, courage, comfort—and the like, Shadow abilities are the opposite, able to impart feelings like despair, doubt, and panic. In a poetic sense, it can be said that the emotions which the Light brings about come from the "heart", whereas the emotions manipulated by Shadow are often based on survival logic, and therefore affect the "mind".

The Void shows only half truths.It cannot fully see destiny, though neither can the Light, because neither are singularly responsible for creation. The Void seeks every possible path and sees them all as truth.

The Old Gods are from the void itself and seek to devour and corrupt the physical planes and push back the light. Like the Old Gods there are areas that one could call worlds where sentient beings exist, what their culture or life is like is unknown.
