The Void

The Void is what Oblivion became when it was slain by Älori. In being the sole entity that was dead, the Void was buried in a grave beneath creation, locked away within an emptyness beyond end that neither was nor could be. It was when Nophais the Betrayer opened the grave that came the First Night, and the opening of the dark grave is what allowed every Night since.

Älori device death as a way of forever removing Oblivion and enable a world of wonders. Oblivion already was nothingness and the absence of everything good, and being killed allowed it to reach its full potential by learning all there is to know of death. So Oblivion learned to kill in infinite ways and longed to make all as itself, by killing all of the world. This is also what enabled the First Night to enscribe the curse of Death upon existence.
