The Nether Void is a completely spawn-proof cube of black concrete and glass in The Nether dimension. Built in Philza's Season 4 Hardcore world, it was finished by the close of 2020. The Nether is ruled by the Blaze Empress.

Within the Nether Void stands the Quartress, a bone white fortress where the Blaze Empress resides, as well as a giant purple crystal hiding a wither skeleton farm inside. Around the Quartress float several islands based on the "flora & fauna" as well as a portal from whence multiple enemy ships are arriving. From the floor of the Nether Void, spikes of void are reaching up, and there's thinner purple crystals floating at the edges of the void as well.

## History

### Construction

What is now the NetherVoid used to be part of a Nether Fortress, which was bombarded with TNT and mined away to oblivion. After that, Philza spawn-proofed every block that could spawn a hostile entity, potentially a Ghast, which could spell destruction at worst, & a minor nuisance at best. Following this, Phil used sand to fill out all the lava lakes around the perimeter of the yet-to-be-made void. During the draining streams is when Wilbur's infamous "Boiler Explosion" joke began.

When the area of construction was finally completed, Phil began to make Black Concrete, a lot of it.

## Lore

The Nether Void was the result of the Blaze Empress protecting her citizens in the face of the Ender King's machinations during The War. The Ender King took a part of the Nether for his own. He did his best to take over the main palace and all of it's people, but the Blaze Empress would not give in. She covered her palace in the dark void, saving her people from the grasps of the Ender King.[1]

After her battle with the Ender King, the army of piglins came from the giant portal adjacent to the Quartress, expecting an easy victory over the tired Blaze Empress. However, she was able to decimate their forces without breaking a sweat. The few remaining are docile, only serving as mementos of a long gone time.

## Notable Inhabitants

On one of the floating island, in the backyard of a tiny warped house, a family of hoglins lives. Philza stole them at some point, naming them all after his friends, **Techno**, **Wilbur**, and **Tommy**. The hog named Tommy was a baby when it was first named.

Aside from the hoglins, the abode also houses **the boy who lived**. The boy who lived is a baby zombie piglin, who survived the bombardment of the Nether Fortress which the Nether Void is build upon. He wears full diamond armour and wields a golden sword.

As the Blaze Empress’s council, He & She are very close, but neither confessed to one another as a result of the Ender King's Raid, prompting the creation of the **NetherVoid**. Sandy, the army general, is also there.
