Midheim is perpetually threatened by the influence of the [[Void (Midheim)]]—a realm of non-being, outside of creation. [[Void (Midheim)]] is all that existed at the birth of the [[Primordial (Midheim)|Primordials]] whom war warred and sealed the [[Demon (Midheim)]]. [[Demon (Midheim)]] are not fallen spirits, but voidborn entities. They have no soul, no spirit, and no place in the cycle of creation. Unlike [[Devils]], who operate within the laws of Kjolen, demons are antithetical to all ordered reality and seek only to devour and unmake.
