The Void is the antithesis of those from the Temple of Ro-Kan, the direct opposite in every way, shape and form. If Ro-Kan is light, then the Void is its shadow; it is the night to their day, and the most obvious observation is the Yin to their Yang. Unlike the monks of the Ro-Kan, they have no Ki. None. Life and time generate Ki; the Void monks seek to destroy it. The Void aims to return everything to a glorious state of nothing, darkness, silence, and Void. What the Temple of Ro-Kan builds, the Void monks seek to eradicate.
Some of those who fight on the side of the Void were once monks of the Ro-Kan who had failed their teachings at the illustrious hands of Master Enos. They failed to heed his warnings and were naive in judging the Void’s power. They succumbed to its seductive nature, letting the power of the black sun’s eclipse rob them of what it means to be human.
A large portion of Jwar believes in reincarnation and ‘karma’: that you'll be reborn and rewarded for what you put into this existence in the next life. The Void do not; they believe in the Eternal Recurrence, where everything is a circle, like the rings of a giant planet in the darkness of space. You are born, you either strive or suffer, and upon death, you do it repeatedly, ad Infinitum. The Void view this as grossly unfair; why should some suffer unconscionable tragedy for eternity while others bask in the glow of health, wealth and happiness?
No past, no present, no future.
For those born poor, destined to live a life in the gutter, a life of hunger and suffering, all that will end, there will be no repeat of such misery. The Void monks will destroy it all until there is nothing and no one left, and when that is achieved, there can be no time, as who will remain to fashion it?
The Void will consume its monks upon completing the task at hand, leaving nothing behind; there will be no more pain or sorrow and nothing to mark that you once existed.
When considering the Void, the question one should ask is not where they are, but when they are. They do not move through time; time moves through them. They are, in essence, everywhere and nowhere all at once.
It is a dark path, the path of the Void, and those that fail to become acolytes are stripped of what makes them who they are; in essence, they are empty inside, a husk of their former selves. But now that these 'husks' have got rid of the pain of living, they perform other much more serious tasks. They fashion the ways between the worlds, creating vast, labyrinthian tunnels through time and space ending in portals that allow the Void monks to travel between the realms.
