Void

The Void, also referred to as the Empty and Glitch-Space, is a lore concept as well as a location in Sockscraft 2.

Void and void-related lore is primarily created by Startacker, and involves many of their characters.

Description
The Void is a nebulous concept. It is an endless dark space, that every so often happens to have stuff in it; beyond that, what it is and how it works is up to interpretation.

Vono Cripta
A language spoken by denizens of the Void.

The Void Council
The Void Council is a group of entities that govern the Void. Not much is known about them, other than they are the ones to approve and carry out Creation Ceremonies.

Voided Souls
Voided Souls are a type of artificial soul created in the Void by use of a special Creation Ceremony. Creation of a Voided Soul must be approved by Council vote.

Creation Ceremony
A ceremony that introduces sparks of life into the void, creating Voided Souls. If performed on an already-existing Voided Soul, it rewrites their body, mind, and soul with an entirely different person, and the universe invents false memories to uphold the new identity.

The ceremony takes place in the Chamber of Creation, and is performed by reciting the following poem: Vono, ‘to terra yend telle otay autuvera. ‘to Illiterado pom ‘le pom bellete ‘a vull pollen pom ‘eta pom autu. Lobo ‘eim autuvera kent metro ‘e terra velon. Velontedo.

The Void Hourglass
A structure created in the Overworld to harness latent Void energy. In its first phase, it is simply an hourglass; in its second phase, it begins to grow white roots. Apparently it is alive?? It also exploded once. In its third phase, the roots extend to the ground, drawing out void, and the structures on the sides and top grow and curl more inward. The void it draws out has adverse effects when touched or ingested, and it emanates unsettling noises. In its fourth phase, the top portion grows upwards, it develops more spines on the sides, and at the base of the hourglass are several spines surrounding the Void mud. Nebula made one in the Community Server, and Kore has recreated it in SocksCraft 2 based on its observations of Nebula's.

Void Corruption
Sometimes the Void leaks black void goop into the Overworld. Touching it is extremely dangerous for anything not native to the Void, even non-physical entities like Mist, and will not only kill but erase them from existence very quickly after exposure.

The only known survivor of Void Corruption is Mist, and only due to the quick intervention of a member of the Void Council— and not without consequences for her health and sense of identity.
