THE
GREAT VOID
The Great Void is the infinite empty space that surrounds the world. It
has been
confirmed from temporal travel that this void was in the beginning
before creation and will be at the end after all has been destroyed. It
is one of the major tenets of Brogmoidism that the Great Brogmoid
"saveth us from plunging into the Great Void." One of the major
discoveries of the year 883 was the fact that the Great Void is not
entirely empty. Other worlds do indeed exist below and above this
one,
supported by a presumably infinite string of Brogmoids. Along with
these planets, are also stars and galaxies. But the Great Void
stretches into blackness even beyond these.
Those who have attempted to jump off the bottom of the world have
reportedly fallen to a new, wondrous world where purple forests
surround lakes of molten rock, volcanoes belch green-blue smoke into
the sky, and enormous slug-shaped creatures, a bloit long, engage in
fierce combat. This other world is most likely the same bizarre place
visited by the Head of the Circle of Enchanters. In the year 966 he
found a strange environ filled with living rocks that devoured metal
for nourishment.
Those who
have used Dimwit Flathead's magical chessboard set, have seen a similar
Great Void off the edges; it is uncertain if this is the same void.
