A swamp covered planet where a shadow entity lives, feeding on the fear of creatures that live inside it.
the Void never ceases to create breaches into our universe. It seeks to ever consume the existence we live in, returning everything to the nothingness from where it all originated. In the beginning there was a small breach, contained by the efforts of the Empire fell the breach was left unattained and even cultivated by sorcerers wanting to harness the energies coming through the Void. Now it’s bigger than some sectors, a great “crater” in the universe, leading anyone who enters it to the surface of the Void.
No one really comes here voluntarily. Well, maybe crazy sorcerers looking for insight and raw energy, like the Galactic Overlords. In fact, the sorcerous tyrants all have abodes located somewhere in the sector. These places are all hidden so their rivals can’t attack them or know if they left their seats of power unattained.
Even though this is one of the most perilous and chaotic sectors of the universe it also hides great secrets and valuable treasures. As the forces of the Empire were forced to abandon their posts in the Cleansing Wars they left many artifacts behind. Weapons and devices that could be used against the Forces of the Void, and as such, against the Galactic Overlords. That’s another reason the tyrants keep abodes in the sector: to stand guard against those that would seek to uncover these secrets to challenge their supremacy.
And if all that wasn’t bad enough the sector is subject to everything the Void can summon forth. Monstrosities capable of killing sentients with just a glance since the simple minds of beings from our universe cannot handle the existence of creatures such as these. For those who don’t care about their own Sanity there may be a great source of power and alliances in the Void here, even if it is just on its surface.
