This article is about the Void. For the ability, see Elemental Damage.

"There are those who see the Void as dark. It is the folly of the simple mind, unable to perceive the brilliant richness of nothingness. The Void is not only the absence of Light, but Dark. To harness the Void is to enter a state of tranquility, free from the clatter of ordinary matter"
— Unknown Voidwalker

The Void is the name given to the substrate that underlies the physical universe; its precise nature is unclear, but it may be another name for spacetime itself. It is described as a place absent of Light, Darkness and matter, and is the source of Void energy, also called "Secret Light".[1]

Overview

According to Ulan-Tan, the Void is simply another form of Light; this prevents the Darkness from entering the Void.[2] The Traveler is said to be able to travel through the Void to other places in the universe.[3]

All Guardians are able to access the Void through using their Light-based powers, and are able to experience the Void through meditating.[4] The Void has been said to have a faint scent of ozone associated with it.[5]

The use of Void powers has been described as being addictive[6]; Variks, The Loyal once asked if whether the Guardians really control the Void, or if the Void controls them.[7]

The Thanatonauts say that the Void is a place between the briefest moment of death and rebirth, the "pause",[8] and that one should not fear death when they enter the Void.[9]

The Hive seem to have an instinctive affinity for the Void, which led the Cabal Emperor Calus to hope that a Voidwalker might be able to lead them as one of his Shadows.[10]

Servitors of the Fallen Houses are able to sense disturbances in the Void; when Mara Sov released her Harbingers on the House of Wolves, their Servitors reported a "strange taste in the Void" when the Harbringers attacked.[11]

Some items can draw upon the essence of the Void when a Guardian dies and resurrects, to be used against their enemies.[12] When there is little Light to draw on in certain areas, other items can draw power from the Void for their abilities.

Ikora stated that the Void is negation, and Guardians would become the ultimate negators, this would make sense with some of the Guardians abilities such as Titans' Suppression Grenades and Shadowshots which negates the abilities of their enemies.[13] With using a Vortex Grenade, the target gets enveloped by the Void and is ripped apart and eaten away by it.[14]
