Cult of the Void Mother
“The Veil is a lie. Death is not silence—it is a womb.”
They believe that Nyxir—the first and truest goddess of death and dreams—was betrayed and cast out by false divinities who feared her power to carry memory beyond the grave.
Now as the Void Mother, she promises a new form of ascension through corruption, one in which fear is clarity and identity is never lost, only reshaped.
Her followers do not fear death. They invite transformation. They feed corruption not as disease, but as divine nourishment.
Memory is sacred—the Void Mother teaches that memory is what makes the soul eternal. Her cult collects and preserves memories (in journals, blood, dreams).
Pain is a blessing—fear and suffering sharpen the mind. Her faithful seek the moment between agony and transcendence.
The body is clay—the flesh is a vessel to be twisted, renewed, and hollowed. Many cultists will offer pieces of their bodies as offerings or wear masks of flayed faces, either metaphorically or literally.
Voidborn (Rare / Divine): Her chosen champions—no longer human, barely mortal. Demi-gods in decay. (Brakken, Calmorra, etc.)
The Veil-Touched: Those who have been partially transformed—sorcerers, priests, or fanatics with black veins, whispers in their minds, and deep spiritual rot. Often serve as priests, seers, or torturers.
The Dream-Eaters: Cultists who steal memories from others (via bloodletting, relics, or corrupted fruit). They believe eating the memories of the dead grants insight into the Void Mother’s will.
The Hollow Choir: A group of masked singers who chant Nyxir’s true name in abandoned temples or ruins. Their voices fray the Veil and open cracks into her realm.
The Children of the Cord: Born or bred in the cult—feral, blindfolded youths who never see the sky. Their minds are linked by ritual, and they serve as spies and messengers. They carry severed tongues in pouches, whispering the words of the dead.
Veyra, the Pale Saint “He speaks with a voice like balm—and leaves rot beneath the skin.”
Public Identity: Veyra is seen by many as a miracle healer and wandering priest of the old faiths. He claims no allegiance to a specific god but offers blessings, memory rites, and spiritual guidance in regions where the Sisterhood no longer holds power.
To outsiders, he appears as a holy man in exile, soft-spoken and kind. He wears white robes, speaks in poetry, and often travels with “orphans” who sing sacred hymns (actually brainwashed cult initiates).
He performs cleansings of corrupted towns—but the towns always fall sick again weeks later.
True Role: High Shepherd of the Void Mother Veyra is the spiritual head of the Cult of the Void Mother, though few know it.
He preaches that the gods have grown silent because they are dead, and that Nyxir alone still speaks—not in thunder, but in dreams and memory.
His sermons slowly twist the faithful’s beliefs, preparing them for “the Unveiling”—a coming age when death itself will be reshaped.
He spreads corruption not through violence—but through comfort.
He “blesses” sacred wells with drops of void-tainted ink.
His “remedies” include tinctures of bloodfruit, veilroot tea, and even memory-infusion salves—which create euphoric dreams before decay sets in.
He offers relief to the grieving, letting them “see their loved ones again” (hallucinations caused by Void Communion).
Some of his followers believe they are still worshiping the Lady of the Veil, unaware they have crossed into Nyxir’s embrace.
Beneath the robes, Veyra’s skin is pale and thin—scarred with black script from Nyxir’s dreams.
His eyes are mismatched: one remains human, the other is a weeping solid black orb, a “gift” from Nyxir.
When he speaks directly in her name, his voice echoes in two tones—one soothing, one dry and broken.
Veyra is not a zealot—he is a true believer with a plan. He wants to unseat the remaining gods and restore Nyxir as the One True Death.
He believes the Sisterhood has failed—that their silence and reverence are cowardice, and that only through embracing the fear of death can mortals evolve.
