Nihilus, the Ethereal of the Void

Nihilus presides over the most enigmatic and feared of all domains—the Void. Once a guardian of the spaces between and the silence within, the corruption of the Terran pantheon transformed her into the Terran Goddess of the Void, a deity not of peace and potential, but of oblivion and the abyss.  

Embodiment and Presence:

Nihilus is a figure shrouded in the deepest blacks and midnight blues, embodying the unfathomable depths of the universe. Her form is both alluring and alarming, with a presence that seems to absorb the very light around her. Her eyes are like black holes, drawing in all that dare meet her gaze, while her hair flows around her in tendrils of darkness, as if absorbing the essence of reality itself.  

Domain and Influence:

Her influence is most profound in the cessation of things, the end of stories, and the dissolution of entities. She is both the end and the beginning, a deity who commands the respect of those who seek to understand the cycle of destruction that precedes creation. Her followers are often seen as nihilists, but within their ranks are also philosophers and mages who seek to comprehend the totality of existence.  

Worship and Clergy:

The temples dedicated to Nihilus are often void of decoration, simple and stark, located in places forgotten by time. Her acolytes, the Voidseers, embrace the minimalist existence, finding profound power in detachment and the embrace of the end. Their rituals are silent affairs, often involving the contemplation of nothingness and the acceptance of the inevitable.  

Legends and Lore:

Tales surrounding Nihilus have shifted from the serene to the somber. She is said to have played a pivotal role in the Divine Schism, not through direct conflict but by unravelling the very essence of those who became too entangled in the corruption. In Enniria, she is the finality of the night sky, the silent watchfulness of the cosmos, and the chilling reminder that all things must eventually return to the void.
