The Voidborn believes the void itself is alive—an unknowable, ancient force that predates existence itself. They do not see the abyss of space as cold and lifeless, but as something sentient, watchful, and waiting.
A mystical, scientific, and existentialist movement that believes the Void itself is sentient, shaping reality through unseen forces beyond mortal comprehension.
The Voidborn do not worship gods—they believe the Void itself is the only truth, the original force from which everything arose. They do not see it as benevolent or cruel, but as a vast intelligence whose nature is unknowable in this simple dimension.
Some of their core beliefs include:
The Voidborn have no single leader or rigid hierarchy—they organize themselves into sects based on specialization, purpose, and level of attunement with the Void.
Respected as visionaries and seekers of cosmic truth by deep-space explorers and certain scientific factions. Feared as madmen and heretics by those who believe their discoveries are too dangerous to comprehend. Distrusted by conventional scholars, who consider their dimensional theories and gravitational experiments reckless and unverifiable.
The Aethyr Union – While the Aethyr Union seeks to master technology through rigid science, the Voidborn believe technology should be discovered, not engineered—letting the universe reveal its secrets naturally.
The Celestial Covenant – The Covenant sees the Voidborn's teachings as dangerous, arguing that the abyss is not a god, but a cosmic mistake that should be resisted.
The Silent Chorus – Though both believe in contemplation and stillness, the Silent Chorus sees the Voidborn as deluded seekers, obsessed with finding meaning in an emptiness that offers none.
The true origins of the Voidborn remain shrouded in mystery, though records suggest they emerged from the Asimi, a connection that still defines much of their membership today. While no official history exists, whispers tell of their founding amid the chaotic upheaval of Sea Corrigan, a period of crisis and discovery that first led them to glimpse the abyss—not as empty space, but as a force with will, intent, and purpose.
The Voidborn do not see the abyss of space as empty—they believe it is alive, aware, and waiting. To them, the Void is not nothingness, but something vast and unseen, a presence that has always existed before reality took form.
While traditional factions seek to colonize, conquer, or control the stars, the Voidborn believe that such pursuits are meaningless distractions. They see the universe as a pattern written by an unseen intelligence woven into the very fabric of space itself. To understand it is not a matter of faith, but a matter of attunement—learning to see beyond the visible, to hear the whispers of the cosmic abyss.
Some call them mystics, prophets, or madmen, others call them scientists, explorers, and pioneers, but none can deny that they have witnessed and discovered things that defy conventional understanding.
The Voidborn do not fear the abyss—they embrace it. They do not worship gods—they listen to the cosmic silence.
They believe that somewhere, beyond the edges of existence, the truth of all things waits to be heard. And one day, they will hear it speak.
