The Void

The Void is an all-consuming darkness and serves as the primary antagonist in AER: Memories of Old.
According to the game's lore, the Void originated as a gnawing emptiness within the Creator of the world. As the Void grew in power, the Creator fragmented himself to keep it at bay. He entrusted Karah with safeguarding these fragments, hoping to prevent the Void from unleashing its destructive force upon the world. However, despite these efforts, the Void continued to expand, causing the world to fracture. It manifested as pitch-black shards that pierced through anything living in their path.
Now, Auk, the player character, is entrusted with the task of reuniting the fragments of the Creator in a final attempt to halt the decay and prevent the Void from causing further destruction. Auk must journey to the three temples where the pieces of the Creator are safeguarded by temple Caretakers.
Once all the fragments are collected, Auk enters the Creator's Shrine, where she confronts the Void firsthand in the game's final cutscene.
