Void Dwellers are otherworldly, immortal form of life. Humans called them as the Elder Gods (aka Tngri in Ordu, aka Yazatas - "worthy of worship").[1]

Void Dwellers require vessels to stay in this world.

Lore[]

Warning: this point onward contains spoilers.

They are known for being summoned by the Magi before The Great War.

The Qantari made contact with void dwellers in the first place, but couldn’t quite figure out how to bring them to this world, from their own. So Qantari propositioned the Old Empire to bring forth and enslave their gods. The Order of Magi in their thirst for knowledge and arcane secrets , helped them by constructing a city named Al-Akia around an ancient pyramid. Imperial Senate assigned Legatus Quintus Valerius Corvus to oversee the project, who made it work by replacing the charcoaled erstwhile champions with his three soldiers. The Magi bounded void dwellers to their will with the "wards" by conducting the "Gift" ritual. The Magus Marcus Domitius Crassus, the master of Zamedy Tower, had designed these wards.

In their boundless arrogance the Magi believed they had created Gods, when they merely made flesh that which was divine. The Qantari managed to unravel the binding, which led to the Great War. At great cost, the Magi, and Imperial Army and Fleet managed to banish these beings from this world, thus ending the war. But the Old Empire fell, and the Order of Magi along with it.

Composition[]

Qantari Demons - The lore remaining to the Empire states that the Qantari summoned demons in their war against the empire.

3 Xenorath Xenorath Killed by Imperial Army fusiliers (Alias: Ull-Xerath) - He rose from the deeps of the sea and slaughtered over a thousand soldiers before the Magi forced him to retreat. Then he most probably had been ambushed and killed by a squad of Imperial Army fusiliers.
4 Accursed One Accursed One Killed by Imperial Fleet (He Who Favors Things That Are Dead) - Not much is known about his origin or his vessel. Imperial Fleet flying battleship "Pax Imperium" managed to gravely injure or kill him with the Hellfyre missiles during the War.
