The Void

In the beginning, there was only the void, but the void was not as empty as some might have believed. The void had consciousness, and he would send his own thoughts into the vast emptiness. It appeared to him that these thoughts took a life of their own, but they faded away before he could be certain. So, he sent more thoughts--louder and more vocal--than the previous ones, hoping to make life these thoughts gained stay and develop into a consciousness much like he was, but just like the others they too faded. He eventually realized that these thoughts needed to have consciousness before he sent it out into the vast emptiness. It was only with its own consciousness would these thoughts not only survive--but thrive on its own.

So, the void took three pieces of his own essence, placed each inside a different thought, and sent those thoughts out into the emptiness. He then waited to see if his theory was correct. It didn't take him long to discover that it was. Out within the vast emptiness, his seeds developed and grew until six, not three unique consciousness emerged. Through, the two consciousness that came from the same seed shared a deep connection. They considered themselves to be one being even if they occupy two different bodies. Other consciousness came into being during this time. No one knows for certain how this came to pass. The void thinks that when he removed pieces of his essence and placed it inside those thoughts that some broke off and consciousness formed from that. Some consciousness, also, might have come into being when the three turned into six.

Whatever the case might be, the void was now far from the other consciousness within the vast emptiness. This emptiness started to take shape, started to turn into a land--no a world--with leaders and subjects, rules, customs, and all things that one might find within a society. The void developed into more than one society. It--like countless other worlds--had multiple societies or even countries. However, it is different than many worlds because it acknowledges an ultimate leader--the void itself, whom they refer to as a king. If others took the title of the king they acknowledge the void as king of the entire world while they were the only king of an individual nation. However, this distinction wasn't needed at first--as only seven nations developed at this time.

However, the Void is a realm like no other. It is said that since life came from here it is here that it will return. The Void is a world of darkness and thought. It seems to break all laws of logic and is shaped by those with the biggest connections or strongest wills. This is the six warlords and Areli, the Void himself that made it what it is as well as Aine having some control. It is said she has her own section within the Void where witches go when they die.

The Void is always changing and moving. Objects become something else and it is a dark realm. According to legends, the Void consumes those not strong enough and the Void whispers into the minds of people in till you become apart of it. Those who enter the Void come out changed because above all the Void is a realm of truth and those who enter should be prepared to see themselves as they actually are there are no secrets from the dark.
