Void Empire

the servants of the void

The Void Empire is a mysterious faction of three entities set on resurrecting The Void from their realm of emptiness and using it to destroy both Lijos and Myrkur permanently. The Void Empire consists of the three most powerful demons from the Demons, The Deathmaster, Magma Queen and Zovan. While the Magma Queen's alliance with this group is ambiguous, Zovan and The Deathmaster are active participants of this dangerous and powerful group.

They are one of two main antagonistic factions as a whole (alongside the Order of Magma), being the overarching antagonist of The Tree of Life (serving as the overarching antagonists of Book 1 and Book 2 and the main antagonists of Book 3).

## Motive

The Void Empire wishes to resurrect The Void from its dimension of emptiness, and rebind it to The Light by destroying all of Lijos, forcing the two to enter eternal clashing, in order to achieve "balance".

## History

### Past Formation

The Void created both Zovan and The Deathmaster years before the empire existed. The Deathmaster and Zovan, unlike Komodi and Mewi, were cruel individuals, and unlike others, they didn't need influence from The Void to be cruel. As such, The Void grew to appreciate them, particularly Zovan due to his raw talent for Void magic. Eventually, they kidnapped Mewi and Komodi, and replaced them in their demons group with their creations. This would eventually lead to the duo orchestrating all the events that happened in the series.

### Demon War and The Deathmaster War

Over the course of nearly 3,000 years, the Void Empire, from behind the scenes, was creating havoc throughout Lijos, which began by orchestrating the Demon War and The Deathmaster War, as well as ensuring that the Order of Magma War would happen. It was planned from the beginning that Zovan would cease to exist for a temporary amount of time, and that he and The Deathmaster were purposely against each other, when in truth they were still allies, not enemies. However, due to The Deathmaster's childish nature as well as his tendency to underestimate his enemies, he underestimated the power that a single wizard could have, and ended up getting defeated by him. This put a rift in the plan of The Void, but ultimately, they were able to use Coo Coo to free The Deathmaster from the Void, and continue wrecking havoc.

### Order of Magma War

#### Working behind the scenes

The Void Empire mostly works in the background during most of the war, with The Void working on getting Ezen, an enderman rumored to have extremely powerful Void magic, to work with Zovan to release them from their prison. This would also mean that they would need to resurrect Zovan somehow, except for the fact that he was being closely guarded by Glacias and Aer. Fortunately for The Void however, Dabsar, Chappal and Zian went close to Zovan's place, which resurrected him, as it was made apparently with human DNA, so humans coming close would result in him being brought back. Eventually, with The Deathmaster and Coo Coo allying with the Order of Magma, a plan was set into motion that led Ezen to be captured by the Order of Magma, allowing the Magma Queen to forge an alliance with the Void Empire, that they would completely decimate Lijos in exchange for Ezen (a plot that The Deathmaster was apparently oblivious to). However, Pilin, a former soldier of the Order of Magma freed Ezen and worked with several Legion of Life soldiers to restore the Tree of Life, a weapon capable of fighting the Void Empire.

#### Resurrecting The Void and nearly destroying Lijos + collapse

nce the Legion of Life enters the Void, they are ambushed by the Void Empire, with The Deathmaster possessing Ezen and using him to attempt to kill the others. Combining Ezen and Zovan's magic, Zovan speaks an incantation, and brings back The Void. He then leaves with The Void for Lijos, telling The Deathmaster to join him when he's done. The Deathmaster however is killed by Zoe (who also dies) in an effort to free Ezen from his control, which works. The Legion of Life then uses a fast transport, provided by the released Komodi, to get back to Lijos, and prepare for the Void Empire to arrive.

Zovan eventually arrives, and is read to destroy Lijos. Zian, a young wizard who was the apprentice of Ezmio, comes to combat them. Simply to humor him, The Void fights Zian, but obviously, because of essentially having the powers of a god, Zian fails quite easily, which is mocked by Zovan. As The Void is ready to decimate Lijos, however, Ezen intervenes, having found his new Life magic. This magic is apparently stronger than The Void, and using it, Ezen sends The Void back to his dimension and kills Zovan. In the process, he brings back Mewi. This ultimately leads to the Void Empire collapsing.

## Trivia

* The Void Empire is considered to be the overarching antagonistic faction of The Tree of Life itself, but one of two main antagonists overall, as they served as the dominant threat alongside the Order of Magma, despite only appearing a couple of times in The Tree of Life
* Despite being called an empire, it has only two people in it, excluding The Void, in which case there are three
