This article is about the Void. For the ability, see Elemental Damage.

"There are those who see the Void as dark. It is the folly of the simple mind, unable to perceive the brilliant richness of nothingness. The Void is not only the absence of Light, but Dark. To harness the Void is to enter a state of tranquility, free from the clatter of ordinary matter"
— Unknown Voidwalker

The Void is the name given to the substrate that underlies the physical universe; its precise nature is unclear, but it may be another name for spacetime itself. It is described as a place absent of Light, Darkness and matter, and is the source of Void energy, also called "Secret Light".[1]

Summary

Characteristics

All Guardians are able to access the Void through using their Light-based powers, and are able to experience the Void through meditating.[2]The use of Void powers has been described as being addictive.[3]; Variks, The Loyal once asked if whether the Guardians really control the Void, or if the Void controls them.[4]

The Thanatonauts say that the Void is a place between the briefest moment of death and rebirth, the "pause",[5] and that one should not fear death when they enter the Void.[6]

Ulan-Tan once said that if Light stretches across space and time, then what does the Void, the absence, the vacuum have to play? what stops the Darkness from entering the void between stars? He says the answer is that the Void is simply another form of light.[7]

The Vex are even able to have access to the Void too, through the means existing in time, like how The Undying Minds dwell within those voids, and how they can take the desired locations and remove them from the universe into the Void.[8] And the Vault of Glass is described as a "Timeless Void"[9] and how Guardians that enter it are "Marked by the Void".

The Hive are capable of influencing the Void too, such as how Savathûn uses one of her long claws to stroke the Void and space-time groans beneath it.[10] Taox said that their race escaped The Hungry Void to the planet Fundament.[11] The Hive seem to be drawn to the masters of the Void too.[12]

Servitors of the Fallen Houses are related to the Void as well, as during before the Reef Wars, when Mara Sov released her Harbinger on the House of Wolves, their Servitors reported to have a "strange taste in the Void" when the Harbringers attacked.[13] It even has a faint scent which smells of Ozone.[14]


Power of the Void

This is not be confused with Elemental Damage

The Traveler was able to travel through the Void to other places in the universe and is full of power, that even Guardians dive right into the Void without fear and reshape reality, utilizing the unknown.[15] Some Guardians like Pahanin are described as the living embodiments of the Void, that where he points, even powerful beasts dies.[16] Tyra Karn makes a point that practicing the use of the Void is akin to the old earth's Shamans who cover their eyes to commune with the dead as they were the first pioneers.[17] Even some weapons harnesses the power from the Void too[18]. Including Thorn which it describes to feast on that which the Void siphons.[19] Some Items can even draw upon the essence of the Void when a Guardian dies and resurrected to be used on their enemies.[20] When there is little light to draw on in certain areas, other items can draw power from the Void for their abilities. Ikora stated that the Void is negation, and Guardians would become the ultimate negators, this would make sense with some of the Guardians abilities such as Titans' Suppression Grenades and Shadowshots which negates the abilities of their enemies.[21] With using a Vortex Grenade, the target get’s enveloped by the Void and is ripped apart and eaten away by it.[22]

Trivia

  • During Festival of the Lost, when delivering Elemental Candy called Void Fizz to Eris Morn, she states that it is “A strange way to exploit the power of the Void.“[23]
  • Banshee-44 used to know something really important about the Void, but due to his short term memory, it is likely impossible.[24]
  • The Ghost stated that Taken Vex are "Void Robots", this would imply that the Taken are beings of the Void.[25]
