## History

### Background

Not much is known of Kas Dominius' life. He was born VOID-Touched and lived on the continent of Qethos. At some point, he attracted the attention of VOID, the God of Nothingness. VOID saw fit to grant him a part of his own divine power, transforming Kas Dominius into VOID's representative on Io. The process saw Kas' life come to an end and he was raised as a lich to serve his god faithfully as the Voidbringer.

### The Crusades

The ongoing animosity between DIV and VOID eventually escalated into a full-blown war, with Radiant and VOID-Touched forces siding with their respective gods. Kas Dominius was one of the most prominent figures of the conflict, acting as a general for the VOID-Touched. In direct opposition to him was his Radiant counterpart, Muralia Shurto. With his considerable power, the two sides were evenly matched, resulting in devastation and bloodshed but not much progress made in wearing down their enemies. Eventually the war petered out and a precarious stalemate came into being, lasting for the next few centuries. It is unknown what became of Kas Dominius after the end of the war.

## Story

### Recorded History

While staking out the Crater of Atlas for the arrival of the VOID Reborn, the young sorcerer Sachi Ko researched a holy text she had taken from the desecrated Church of DIV in southern Qethos. Though written in Divenese, she was able to decipher its teachings. She learned of the existence of the two emissaries of the gods, Muralia Shurto and Kas Dominius and the roles they played in the Crusades. Being a book written by DIV worshippers, Kas Dominius' portrayal was less than flattering.

From this knowledge, Sachi determined that her plan to bring back DIV and VOID as controlled forces instead of the wild corruptive energies that were currently manifesting could be done using human vessels to channel their power. With this in mind, she deduced herself and Leask Laell would be appropriate successors for the two emissaries. When the VOID Reborn arrived and revealed Leask Laell's proposition to host it rather than the djinn Terasolum, Sachi made her argument, citing the emissaries as proof of concept. This won the VOID Reborn's favor, and the two parties aligned to complete their shared goal; infiltrate the Mainframe of Atlas and use the power within for Sachi and Leask's ascension.
