Lord Meeker he/him Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 In the beginning there was nothing. Darkness. Emptiness. A void. From that void sprung Adonalsium, creator, the first and the last, God. With his power, Adonalsium created the known Universe. He formed the planets, sun, moon and stars. He created the land and sea, the plants and animals that lived in them. Most importantly he created humans in his own image. But in every tale, myth, legend and story, greed, fear, and lust entered the hearts of men. Sixteen men and women conspired together and killed God. They divided Adonalsium’s power between themselves. These manifestations of power were called Shards, holding a specific attribute of the God they murdered. Unbenounced to the Sixteen Shards, two additional people ascended to godhood, almost by accident, these individual were the Shards Voidus and Narration. Narration travelled to a far corner of the universe, who would soon be joined by Voidus. Voidus traveled abroad, using modified Hemalurgy to spike the first splinters of Shards. In total he succeeded in spiking splinters of Cultivation, Preservation, Dominion, Devotion, Autonomy, Ambition, and Ingenuity. Voidus stumbled upon the solar system, the Alleyverse, created by Narration. Voidus bargained with Narration-though in reality Voidus did not need to-and spiked the only habitable planet, AlleyOne, with the spikes collected. Narration in turn received the promise of retaining his Shard. Voidus placed them into the center of AlleyOne. Though what occured, not even Voidus himself expected. The Spike of Cultivation, melded with the rest of the spikes. Together the grew into one single massive spike that would later become what the inhabitants of AlleyOne call the WorldSpike. Its power, corrupted or enlightened the minds of every living thing. This is how Voidus created a world dependant on Hemalurgy for survival. Thus is the creation of the of the Alleyverse and its people. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Knight Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Good to have you back, Mraize. I like the story, even if I'm not sure that Voidus is canonically a Shard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Not a Shard of Adonalsium but something pretty similar so it's mostly just a matter of semantics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenod Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Voidus is stronger than a mere shard I think. Edited August 17, 2018 by kenod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ark1002 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Also, Voidus is much more manifested in the physical realm then shards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Holmes he/him Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Also, Voidus is Voidus, therefore we all exist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ark1002 Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Yep, all of mine were from other worlds. And even if Voidus was the god of all Sanderson novels, there is still the boundless worlds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
