== The Void and the Demons ==

Midheim is perpetually threatened by the influence of the [[Void (Midheim)]]—a realm of non-being, outside of creation. [[Void (Midheim)|Void]] is all that existed at the birth of the [[Primordial (Midheim)|Primordials]] whom war warred and sealed the [[Demon (Midheim)|Demon]]. [[Demon (Midheim)|Demon]] 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.
